What you get

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.

Template vs custom

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
