Web Presence Assistance

by Maurice | February 6, 2023

Amount:

No Fixed Amount

Type of Program:

Grants


Description:

The Web Presence Assistance is a non-repayable contribution provided to Prince Edward Island businesses and local not-for-profits to assist them in establishing a presence on the Internet or to upgrade an existing website to include e-commerce. The purpose of this assistance is to help Island businesses and not-for-profits increase business by creating a website to establish online visibility and reach.

Comments on Funding:

Web Presence Assistance has two tiers.
Innovation PEI’s contribution is limited to 50 per cent of the eligible cost to a maximum contribution of:

  1. 1
    $1000 for Tier 1 (a non-e-commerce site, for a business that does not have an existing website),
  2. 2
    $2500 for Tier 2 (an e-commerce site, for a business that does not have an existing website or has a website that does not include e-commerce).

The combined project funding from all non-repayable government sources cannot exceed 75% of eligible costs.


When It Ends:

Ongoing

Deadline:

Rolling deadline

Eligibility:

The applicant must:

  • be a Prince Edward Island business or not-for-profit organization,
  • not have received in the prior two years funding from Innovation PEI to support website development, through either the Web Presence Assistance or Covid-19 Business Adaptation Advice Program,
  • not have a defaulted outstanding debt obligation on file in the Province’s Central Default Registry,
  • not have a web presence, or
  • be upgrading an existing website to add e-commerce for the first time, 

Application Steps:

1

should discuss their requirements with an Innovation PEI representative to determine if their activity could be considered for this assistance,

must submit the online application before any financial or legal commitment is made on the project

Documentation Needed: 

The applicant must submit:

  • a completed application form including a clear description of their project and how it will help the business,
  • an electronic or scanned copy of a written quote from a web developer outlining services to be provided,
  • HST number, if applicable.
  • a detailed listing of the expenses that will be incurred, if the applicant is creating the site rather than hiring an arm’s length web developer.
