What you get

Six things that hold a website up.

Five are craft. The sixth is the one nobody else puts in writing.

0.4s

Loads before they leave

Largest paint on desktop, under two seconds on a throttled phone. Hand-written code, not a theme with forty plugins bolted on.

100/100

Perfect scores, not close

Lighthouse accessibility, best practices and SEO on every page, desktop and mobile. Open DevTools and check.

0

Nothing jumps as it loads

Cumulative layout shift of zero. Every image and font is sized up front, so the page never moves under your thumb.

2weeks

Live in two weeks

Most builds, from the day we have your content. You get a fixed date at the start and we hold to it.

$500

Published prices

Real numbers on the site rather than "request a quote", so you can rule us in or out in ten seconds.

The keystone

100%

Yours from the first day

Domain, files, content and analytics in your name before we write a line of code. No login you cannot reach, no platform you are renting. Every service we sell is an option on top of a site that is already entirely yours.

How a build goes

Watch one come together.

Same order every time, and you see it at each stage on a live link — no reveal at the end, no surprises.

  1. 01

    Structure first

    Pages, navigation and the path from landing to enquiry — agreed before a single pixel is designed.

  2. 02

    Then the words

    Every page written or rewritten with you, so the site sounds like how you actually talk to customers.

  3. 03

    Then the proof

    Services, photos, prices and the reasons to believe you — the parts that turn a visitor into a call.

  4. 04

    Then the ask

    One clear action per page, wired to your inbox, with a thank-you page that confirms it sent.

  5. 05

    Then it goes live

    SSL, redirects, Search Console, analytics and a speed pass — launched, not just finished.

Why businesses call us

Three quiet ways a website costs you.

01

It looks like 2013

People decide whether to trust you before they read a single word. A dated site quietly tells them you might be dated too — and they are already back on the search results page.

02

Nobody can find it

If you are not on the first page for what you actually do, you pay for every customer twice — once in ads, and once in the calls that never come.

03

Nobody looks after it

The person who built it stopped answering. Plugins are out of date, the contact form has been broken for four months, and nobody noticed.

Pricing

Published, not "request a quote".

Real numbers on the page, so you can tell whether we are in your range before you ever call.

Questions

The things people ask first.

Do I own the website?

Completely, and from the first day rather than at the end. The domain, the files, the content and the analytics accounts are all registered in your name before we write a line of code. There is no login you cannot reach, no platform of ours you are renting, and no contract that makes leaving expensive. If you ever want to move the site or hand it to another developer, you take everything and we help with the handover.

So what do I actually have to keep paying for?

Nothing. A build is a one-time cost and the site is yours when it ships. Care plans, ongoing SEO and new pages are options you can take, decline, start later or cancel — the site does not stop being yours and does not stop working if you say no to all of them. What you give up by declining is our time, not your website.

How long does a website take?

Most sites launch in two weeks from the day we have your content. A five-page site can be faster. Larger builds with booking systems or online stores usually run four to six weeks. We give you a date at the start and we hold to it.

What does a care plan actually include?

Hosting, SSL, daily backups, uptime monitoring, and small edits are in every plan from $49 a month. Higher plans add content updates, SEO monitoring, monthly reporting, and new pages as you need them. Every build includes the first 30 days free, and it is entirely optional after that.

Do you work with businesses outside Ontario?

Yes, and most of the time it makes no difference at all. We are based in Southern Ontario and we build for clients across Canada and the United States. The work happens over calls, email, and shared documents, so where you are does not change the price or the timeline. The one thing that does change is the SEO, because the searches you want to win are local to you rather than to us.

What if I already have a website?

Most of our work is redesigns. We keep what is working — your content, your rankings, your domain — and rebuild the rest. We map your existing pages to the new ones and set up redirects so the search traffic you already have follows you across.

Let us build the piece everything rests on.

Tell us what you have and what it needs to do. We reply within one business day, the first call is twenty minutes with no pitch, and whatever we build is yours outright.
