DIY guides for BC trades Why we give this away

The same fixes we charge for — free

An owner who fixes their own listing this year often becomes a client next year — and either way, the Island’s trades get better websites. Work through any guide at your own pace, or hand it to whoever does your web work. Nothing here is watered down.
