Your website should bring you customers, not headaches

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. It’s exactly why we built Ikigai Studio.

A site that shows its age

It looks off on a phone, the hours are wrong, and you’d rather not send the link to customers.

Every change costs time and money

Swapping one photo means an email, a wait and an invoice. So nothing gets updated.

No time to learn new software

Do-it-yourself builders eat whole evenings. You have a business to run.

With Ikigai Studio, your site is ready the same day, looks professional on every screen, and stays up to date in two minutes: you type what you want changed.

Made for local businesses

  • Contractors and trades
  • Bakeries, cafés and restaurants
  • Clinics and professionals
  • Shops and workshops
  • Business services
  • Non-profits and associations
How it works

Three steps to your new site

  1. 01

    We read your current site, or your answers

    Share the address of your current site: we pick up your copy, colours and contact details without touching it. No site yet? Answer a few questions about your business.

    The “Do you already have a website?” onboarding step, with a field for the current site’s address.
  2. 02

    AI builds your site

    Home, services, about, contact: a real website that looks like you, with copy written for your customers. It adapts to phones on its own.

    The home page of a site created by Ikigai Studio for a bike shop: a large headline, two buttons and an illustration.
  3. 03

    You edit it by typing

    Type what you want changed, just like you’d tell a member of your team. Studio shows you the result first. Nothing goes live without your OK.

All in one place

More than a website: a way to follow up with customers

Customer inquiries, neatly organized

Every message sent through your site’s form lands in your inquiries, along with where the person came from. You know who to call back and where things stand.

  • Email alert for every new inquiry
  • New, in progress, done
  • Add contacts by hand after a phone call
The list of inquiries received through the site’s form, each with its status: new, in progress or done.

Analytics in plain words

How many people visit your site, where they come from, and how many called or wrote to you. No cookie banner to accept for these stats.

  • Live visitors
  • Sources: Google, Facebook, direct
  • Monthly summary by email
The analytics dashboard: visitors, page views, average time, bounce rate and conversions over 30 days.

Your own address, hassle-free

Publish in one click at your free .ikigaistudio.ca address, or connect your own domain name: we show you exactly what to change at your provider. Your email stays put.

  • Secure address (https) included
  • Automatic domain check
  • Version history to roll back
The “My web address” page: the business’s domain is active and set as the main address, with a confirmed secure address.

Your questions, answered

Is Ikigai Studio available in English?

Not yet. For now, the Ikigai Studio app and the websites it creates are in French, for Québec businesses. If you need an English or bilingual site today, write to us and we’ll find a solution together.

I’m not a tech person. Will I manage?

Yes. There’s nothing to install or learn: you answer a few questions, then type what you want changed, like a text message. Studio shows you the result first, and nothing is published without your OK.

Can I keep my current domain name?

Yes. You connect it to your site by changing a few settings at your provider, and Studio shows you exactly which ones. Connecting a domain requires an active trial or subscription. Otherwise, your site gets a free .ikigaistudio.ca address.

What about my email?

We never touch it. Connecting your domain only changes where your website lives: your mailbox keeps working as before, with your current provider.

Is it really free to start?

Yes. You create and edit your site with no credit card. The card is only requested when you want to publish, and you then get a 14-day trial before the first payment.

Can I stop whenever I want?

Yes, the monthly plan has no commitment. You can cancel anytime, and it ends at the end of the period already paid. There are no refunds for a started period.

Who owns my site’s content?

Your copy, your photos and your customers’ inquiries are yours. You can download your data from your account at any time.

Can the AI put just anything on my site?

No. Every change is proposed to you with a preview, and you’re the one who applies it, then publishes. You can also go back to a previous version in one click.

I’d rather talk to someone. Can I?

Of course. Write to us and someone from our team, here in Québec, will get back to you. If you’d like us to handle the launch with you, that’s the $299 option.
