A real person answers. Email us or use our form, and you’ll hear back as soon as we can, usually within one business day.
Why it matters
Customers check before they call.
Before they pick up the phone, customers look you up. If they find no website, a site that breaks on their phone or a
“Not secure” warning, many won’t wait around. They’ll call the next business on the list.
Sound familiar?
- Your site is hard to use on a phone.
- It takes forever to load.
- The browser says “Not secure.”
- The footer still says © 2016.
- Some links or photos are broken.
- Your “website” is a Facebook page.
- Customers can’t find your hours or tap to call.
What we do
We do the work. You get the calls.
You’re busy running your business. We handle your website from start to finish, and we keep it running after launch.
We build it
A site with up to 5 pages, made from our template for your type of business. We write the words. Photos and details come from you or your Google and Instagram.
We connect it
Tap-to-call, directions, hours and a contact form. Buttons for the booking, reservation or ordering system you already use. Search basics, linked to your Google Business Profile.
We keep it running
Hosting, a security certificate, backups and uptime monitoring. Your plan also includes 1 or 2 minor changes a month, like new hours or prices.
How it starts
See it first. Then decide.
We build a free demo with your business name, photos and services. Then we show it to you on a video call, or in person when we can. If you
like it, we get started. If not, you owe us nothing.
Step 1: We build your demo
Free, with your name, photos and services.
Step 2: You say yes
Sign the agreement and pay $245 to get started.
Step 3: We finish your site
We write the words and set it all up. You get 2 rounds of revisions.
Step 4: You launch
Within 14 days of receiving your content. The last $245 is due at launch, and your monthly plan starts.
Prices are in Canadian dollars, plus applicable taxes.

FAQ
Straight answers.
What’s the free demo, and is it really free?
Yes, it’s really free. We build a demo of your new website with your business name, photos and services, then show it to you on a video call, or in person when we can. If you like it, we talk about next steps. If not, you owe us nothing.
How much does a website cost?
The launch package is $490, one time. After launch, you’re on a monthly plan: Care at $39 a month or Growth at $59 a month, with a 12-month minimum. Prices are in Canadian dollars, plus applicable taxes.
Who owns my website and domain?
Your domain is registered in your name, and you pay its yearly fee to the company you register it with. Your content is yours, including the words we write once your launch package is paid. Your site is built from our templates, which stay ours, but you get a permanent right to use, change and move its files. If you ever leave, we hand them over on request.
What counts as a minor change?
Small updates: editing text, swapping photos, updating hours, prices or menu items, or adding a promotion or announcement banner. New pages or sections, redesigns, new integrations and rewriting a full menu or services list are bigger jobs, and we quote them separately.
Can you get me to the top of Google?
No one can honestly promise that, and we won’t. We set up the search basics and link your site with your Google Business Profile, so customers who look you up find what they need. We don’t sell SEO campaigns, ads or social media management.
Let’s leave the light on for your next customer.
Tell us about your business. We’ll build a free demo of your new website and show it to you. No cost, no pressure.
