The website that wins the customer before they've called you.

Your address on the internet — like yourbusiness.ca. It's what customers type in, and what your email lives at. It gets registered in your name, so it belongs to you no matter what happens — costs about $20 a year to keep. Want your name and home address out of the public WHOIS record? Privacy protection is about $10 a year on top — free for individuals on .ca.

Yes. Your domain is registered to you, and the site is yours once it's paid for. No lock-in, no hostage situations — if we ever part ways, everything comes with you, documented.

Absolutely. I can rescue, rebuild, or migrate what you have — and keep your existing address and email working through the switch.

You absolutely can — they're fine tools. But someone still has to design it, write it, and keep it updated, and that someone becomes you, every month, on their template and their subscription. I build it once around your brand, you own everything, and the care plan costs about the same as their subscription — with an actual human attached.

The build price is one-time. After that it's the care plan at $35 a month — hosting and email all in, with your domain looked after. It starts the day your site goes live, not before. The only other cost is the domain name itself, about $25 a year, billed to you at cost. That's the whole bill — no surprise fees.

Every project starts with a deposit — it reserves your spot and covers the initial concept work. The balance is due before your site goes live, and larger builds are split across a couple of milestones. Hosting and care plans are billed monthly or yearly — pay for the year and one month is free. Builds are usually paid by e-transfer, or by card if you prefer; care plans run on a card you set up once through Stripe, so nothing needs remembering. You'll always have the full breakdown in writing before anything starts.

Yes — secure online checkout through Stripe, added to Starter or Business for $300 and included in Full-scale builds. Customers pay right on your site and the money goes straight to your own Stripe account, never through mine. Stripe's standard card fees (roughly 3%) come off each payment — no markup from me. See it live in the merch shop I built for Newmarket Bike Nights.

That's the idea. Start with Essentials, and if you want the full website later, everything you've paid in the past year counts toward the bigger package — $150 in means $150 off Starter. Nothing you buy here is a dead end.

Yes — with honest timelines. Starter and up include submitting your site to Google and setting up your Business Profile (the map listing), so searching your business name finds you within a few weeks — brand-new domains simply take Google a little time. Competing for generic searches like "bakery near me" is ongoing SEO work — possible, but a separate conversation, and be wary of anyone who guarantees rankings.

Editing what's already there: new text or photos, updated hours or prices, a fresh review, another mailbox. Just send it over — it's included, up to about half an hour a month. Building something new — a page, a section, a feature — is a small quoted job, and care plan members go to the front of the line. Not on a plan? One-off changes start at $50.

Usually I know before you do — every site is checked round the clock and the alert comes to me. If it's something on my side, I'll have it back up without a bill.

Nothing scary. You keep your domain, your site, and your email — I'll even help move them wherever you like. The plan just means I'm the one watching, updating and fixing while you run your business.
