Website design for small businesses across Canada
We work remotely with businesses in every province and territory, during Eastern business hours, at the same fixed prices.
The short answer
Yes, we build websites for small businesses anywhere in Canada. A site of up to 5 pages costs $700 to $1,200 CAD, takes 1 to 2 weeks once your content is ready, and is hosted in a Canadian data centre.
One team, any province
Every project runs over video calls, email and a shared project page, so it works the same whether you're in Halifax, Montréal, Toronto, Calgary or Vancouver. We work Monday to Friday, 9 am to 5 pm Eastern time (7 am to 3 pm Mountain, 6 am to 2 pm Pacific).
Local where it counts
Before we start, we research how customers search in your city and your industry. To rank locally, we add a page for each area you actually serve, and set up or fix your Google Business Profile, which needs a real address or a real service area.
Provincial rules
If you serve Quebec, you most likely need French on your website under the Charter of the French Language; we build French versions for about $50 a page. In Ontario, the AODA website rules apply to private organizations with 50 or more employees. Every site we build has WCAG 2.1 AA basics built in.
Hosted in Canada
Your site runs on servers in a Canadian data centre, with a free SSL certificate, weekly backups and uptime monitoring.

SEO and getting found
Google rankings, local SEO, reviews, AI assistants and ads.
Will my website show up on Google?
Yes. Every site has the SEO basics built in and is submitted to Google and Bing, so it will be indexed. Ranking high for competitive searches takes ongoing SEO and time.
How long until I rank?
An established local business usually sees first movement in 2 to 4 months. A brand-new website needs 6 months or more for competitive searches. Specific, long-tail searches can rank sooner.
Can you guarantee first page or number one?
No. Google controls rankings, so nobody can honestly guarantee them. We commit to doing the work, and we report on what matters: calls and enquiries.
Is SEO included, or is it extra?
The SEO basics are included in every build: page titles, structure, schema, speed, and submission to Google and Bing. Ongoing SEO is a separate monthly service.
What does ongoing local SEO cost?
Three monthly plans. Starter, $199: Google Business Profile management, consistent business details, review requests, Search Console monitoring and a monthly report. Growth, $399: everything in Starter plus a new page or guide each month, AI search optimization and call tracking. Competitive, $699: everything in Growth plus two new pages or guides a month, mentions on trusted sites, competitor tracking and a quarterly review call.
What's the difference between a website and SEO?
Your website is your shop. SEO is the signposts and the reputation that bring people to it. We build every site ready for SEO, and ongoing SEO keeps building your visibility.
What is local SEO? Do I need it?
Local SEO gets your business into Google's map and local results when people nearby search, for example "plumber near me". You need it if you serve customers in a specific area.
What's a Google Business Profile? Do I need one?
It's your free listing on Google Maps and Search, with your hours, reviews, photos and a call button. It's essential for local businesses. We can set it up or fix an existing one. It needs a real address or a real service area.
Will I lose my current Google rankings if I redesign?
Not if it's done right. Before changing anything, we record which pages bring you visitors. We keep or redirect every URL (301 redirects) and watch Search Console after launch. A small, temporary dip can happen.
Do I need a blog to rank?
No. Service pages, your Google Business Profile and reviews matter more. A few genuinely useful guides help later.
How do I get more reviews?
Ask at the right moment. Right after a job or visit, send a short text with a direct link to your Google review page, and reply to every review you get. Don't offer incentives, and don't filter out unhappy customers; Google prohibits both.
Can you get my business recommended by ChatGPT or other AI assistants?
We can improve your chances, but nobody can guarantee it. We make your business easy for assistants to find and trust: pages that answer first, consistent facts everywhere, access for AI crawlers, and mentions on trusted sites. Then we track the results every month.
What does AI search optimization cost?
It's included in the Growth ($399) and Competitive ($699) SEO plans. It isn't sold on its own.
Should I do Google Ads instead of SEO?
They do different jobs. Ads bring calls right away but stop the moment you stop paying. SEO takes months but keeps working. Many businesses run ads while SEO builds up. We build the landing pages for ads.
