About us

Good businesses deserve to be found.

We’re a small Canadian web agency. We build websites for local businesses and keep them running, so owners can get back to work.

Why we do this

In every town, there are great businesses with loyal customers and a website that lets them down. Some have no site at all. Some have one that breaks on phones, shows “Not secure” or still says © 2016.

Customers look you up before they call. When your site lets you down, they call someone else. We started Porchlight to fix that, without the jargon, hidden fees or long waits that give web agencies a bad name.

Why a porch light?

A porch light tells people you’re home and they’re welcome. It helps them find the right door in the dark. That’s what a good website does for a business.

We keep the light on, so customers can find you.

What we believe

  • See it before you pay

    We build a free demo of your new site first. If it’s not right for you, you owe us nothing.

  • Simple, published prices

    One launch price, one monthly fee and a price list for extras. Bigger jobs are quoted before we start.

  • You own it

    Your domain is registered in your name, and all of your content is yours.

  • We do the work

    We write the words, set everything up and keep it running.

  • Straight talk

    No jargon, and no promises we can’t keep, like guaranteed Google rankings.

  • 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.

Yes, we’re new.

We won’t pretend otherwise. You won’t find fake reviews or borrowed logos here. Instead, we’ll show you your own website before you pay, and let the work speak for itself.

Let’s see what we can build for you.

Tell us about your business. We’ll build a free demo of your new website and show it to you. No cost, no pressure.
