Building sites across Eastern Ontario
The problem
Is your website costing you business?
Most small business sites look fine at a glance and quietly underperform where it matters. Sound familiar?
- 01
Slow website
Visitors leave before the page finishes loading, and Google notices.
- 02
Not ranking on Google
If you're not on page one for your town and trade, customers find your competitors instead.
- 03
No leads coming in
Traffic that never calls, books, or fills out a form is just expensive decoration.
- 04
Poor mobile experience
Most of your visitors are on their phones. If the site fights them, they leave.

FAQ
Web design questions, answered
Straight answers about pricing, local SEO and what it's like to work with a small web design studio in Eastern Ontario.
How much does a small business website cost?
Our Lump Sum package is $500 for up to 5 pages, plus $10 per month for hosting. If you'd rather spread the cost out, the Monthly package is $200 upfront and $60 per month with hosting included. Ecommerce stores on Shopify or WooCommerce start at $1,500. Extra pages are $100 each. See the pricing page for everything that's included.
What areas of Eastern Ontario do you serve?
We build websites and handle local SEO for businesses in Brockville, Kingston, Gananoque, Prescott, Mallorytown, Perth, Smiths Falls, Carleton Place and Belleville. Everything is done online, so we can work with businesses elsewhere in Ontario and across Canada too.
What is local SEO, and why does my business need it?
Local SEO is how your business shows up when people nearby search for what you do, like "plumber in Brockville" or "web design Kingston". It covers your website's content and structure, your Google Business Profile, and the signals Google uses to decide who appears in the map pack. If you serve customers in a specific area, it's usually the fastest way to turn searches into calls.
Is SEO included with every website you build?
Yes. Every site we build includes technical SEO from day one: fast load times, clean page titles and descriptions, structured data, a sitemap, mobile-friendly layouts, and headings that match what your customers search for. It isn't an add-on.
What do I get with the free website audit?
A top-to-bottom review of your current website and a clear breakdown of what's working, what isn't, and what to fix first. That covers speed, mobile experience, local SEO and how well the site turns visitors into leads. There's no pressure to work with us afterwards.
Can I make changes to my website after it launches?
Edits are free for the first 30 days after launch. After that, you can add our edits plan for $50 per month (5 edit sessions). Ecommerce stores are fully editable by you in Shopify or WooCommerce, and those plans include unlimited edits.
