How it works.

  1. Scan your site

    Free. Takes a minute.

  2. Talk it through

    A 15-minute call about what to fix.

  3. Go live

    Your new site, usually in 4 to 6 weeks.

Score my site

Your current site might be quietly costing you customers.

Most owners can't see it. Customers feel it every day.

Technical

These scores come from a single lab test (Google Lighthouse on a simulated mid-range phone), so they can wobble a few points run to run. Where Google has enough real-visitor data, I show that too. The real-world picture over time lives in your Search Console.

What's different after we launch.

Better design, faster pages, clear analytics, and someone you can actually call when the site needs updating.

  • Customers reach your contact page.

    A slow page loses people in the first second. A fast one means they stay long enough to see what you offer.

    How I verify Pages load fast, so visitors don't bounce. I test it and show you the numbers.

  • You know which calls are coming from your site.

    Right now you might be guessing whether your site is bringing in work. Simple tracking tells you which pages and searches are actually sending people your way.

    How I verify Private analytics, no data selling, no confusing dashboard. Just the numbers that matter to your business.

  • Your site stays current without you chasing anyone.

    Hours change. Services change. You shouldn't need a back-and-forth every time. Just send the update and it's handled.

    How I verify Small updates are included in the monthly plan. Done within the week.

  • Every customer can use your site, no matter what device they're on.

    If your layout breaks, text is too small, or buttons are hard to tap, people leave without telling you why. A properly built site just works.

    How I verify Built to Ontario's accessibility standard. Checked with automated tools, verified by hand.

How a custom rebuild compares.

A template can get you online. A custom rebuild is for when the site needs to be faster, clearer, and easier to measure.

Feature Page builders A custom rebuild
How your site looks Template look shared by many businesses Designed around your brand from scratch
Speed on mobile Often slowed down by page-builder weight Built to feel fast on real phones
Security & maintenance Plugin updates and surprise maintenance No plugin stack to babysit
Accessibility (Ontario law) Often treated as an afterthought Built with AODA expectations in mind
Knowing where leads come from Nothing, or a confusing analytics setup Simple lead and traffic dashboard, set up and explained

Real projects. Before and after.

Every rebuild starts with a scorecard. Here's what before and after looks like.

$3,200flat
Get started
Fair and simple. The monthly plan runs for the first year, then it's month-to-month. Cancel anytime after the first year and the site is yours. With the flat rate, the code, content, and domain are yours from day one.

Reasonable questions, plain answers.

How long does a project take?
Most small-business sites take 4-6 weeks from kickoff. Larger sites or projects where I write the content can take a bit longer. I only take on two projects at a time so timelines stay honest.
What's included in the $200/month plan?
The full custom build, hosting, SSL, analytics, and ongoing small updates. Copy changes, new photos, simple page edits, and quick fixes are included. Bigger new features are quoted first.
Am I locked into a contract?
No. The monthly plan is month-to-month after the initial 12 months. If you leave, I help move the site wherever you want.
Who owns the website?
You do. The code, design, content, domain, and analytics are yours.
What if I already have a site?
Start with the free scan above. Sometimes the answer is "your site is mostly fine; fix these 3 things." If a redesign makes sense, we talk through it.
What does my site score mean?
Google Lighthouse scores speed, accessibility, SEO, and best practices from 0 to 100. A score over 90 is strong. Below 50 usually means visitors are feeling the problem, even if they can't name it.
Do you work with businesses outside Toronto?
Yes. I mainly work with Toronto, Oshawa, Ajax, Pickering, and Durham Region businesses, but remote work across Ontario or Canada is fine.
How much does a website redesign cost in Toronto?
My monthly plan is $200/month for the build plus ongoing updates. The flat-rate option is $3,200 for a clean hand-off. Both are shown above with no hidden fees.
What tools do you actually use?
Lighthouse for Google PageSpeed-style scoring, and Plausible for simple privacy-friendly analytics. You get access to the dashboards too.

Practical web advice for small businesses.

Speed, SEO, accessibility: the stuff that actually affects whether your site works for your customers.
