For West End businesses only, host and design company Winters Web Works will extend a special discount of $99 one-page design and $99/year hosting. See more details about this offer. See a list of businesses that have joined the englishbay.com community. Having a website on englishbay.com can literally be your most cost-effective means of promotion. We advertise widely, and are currently the featured portal in Vancouver's Websight Magazine. Pick up a free copy in your local internet cafe and look for our ad on the first page, top corner (or view PDF).

Why do I need a website?

Canada has one of the highest percentages of internet users, higher even than in the U.S. And within Canada, more people are online in Vancouver than anywhere else.[details] When you combine this with the fact that users age 20-35 are now more likely to get business information from the internet than from the Yellow Pages, you can see that having a web presence has become an essential component of doing business.

What can englishbay.com offer?

The friendly folks at Winters Web Works maintain englishbay.com as a community service, to help bring our vibrant and eclectic community together online — it's not a commercial enterprise. Therefore, the following prices are guaranteed to be cheaper than any other certified web design service. Call around, you'll see what a good deal we offer.

Internet statistics: According to the Canadian research project NFO CFGroup, (1) 80% of Canadians 18-49 years of age access the internet frequently; (2) of those households online, more have a high-speed connection ("broadband") than old dial-up; (3) 80% of Vancouverites have internet access. For complete statistics, download the 2004 report (warning: 2MB, in PDF) — compare with the 2002 report (only 262K).

Here at Englishbay.com, we're pleased to say that the site's age (since 1997), its uniqueness (still the West End's only portal!), and widespread publicity (print ads, large posters in many shop windows by special arrangement) contribute to its getting a steady 10,000 unique per month — which ballons to as many as 25,000 visitors in the summer months!
