Whether you’re launching a brand-new store or bringing your existing company online, YO Design Inc. is here to help with web design, development, e-commerce setup, SEO, graphic design, and more.
Define Your Online Business Goals
Begin by identifying what your online business will do. Are you offering services, selling handmade products, or using a dropshipping model to sell goods from suppliers? Will you focus locally in PEI or ship across Canada and beyond? Your business goals determine your website’s structure, features, and the right platform to use.
Register Your Business in PEI
If you haven’t yet, register your business through PEI’s Business Registration system and apply for a Business Number with the Canada Revenue Agency. This step legitimizes your business and opens the door to government support and business development programs available in the province.
Choose the Right E-Commerce Platform
YO Design Inc. helps you select the platform that best fits your business. Shopify is a powerful and easy-to-manage tool for selling physical products, especially if you plan to use dropshipping. For content-driven or service-oriented businesses, we also work with WordPress and Squarespace, providing beautiful and responsive designs tailored to your needs.
