Website modernization for established Canadian businesses
Your business has moved on.
Has your website?
We rebuild websites that have fallen behind the business — then host them and keep them current. You review it once and approve it. That's the only step you manage.
No proposal · No lock-in · A named person replies
Your website shouldn't be the part of your business you apologize for.
Most of the businesses we talk to didn't neglect their website. They got busy running the company.
-
01
It looks like 2011
The business grew up. The website didn't.
-
02
Rough on a phone
Where most of your customers actually find you.
-
03
It doesn't say “why you”
Nothing on the page separates you from the next listing.
-
04
You can't change it
A price update means emailing someone who may not reply.
-
05
Slow, or half-broken
Forms that go nowhere. Pages that take too long.
-
06
The phone doesn't ring from it
Traffic, maybe. Enquiries, not really.
How it works
Three steps. You only manage one of them.
-
STEP 01
We look at it properly
A short conversation and a real look at your site, your customers, and who you're competing with. We work out what the site actually has to do.
-
STEP 02
We build it
Not a proposal. A working version of the better site, so you're reacting to something real. If it isn't obviously better, you've lost nothing.
-
STEP 03
We keep it running
We finish the content, put it on Canadian infrastructure, and stay on for hosting, updates and the occasional favour.
What it costs
The price, before you ask for it.
| Website modernization, one time | $1,500 |
| Managed website care | $99 / month |
| Timeline | Two to three weeks |
| Your involvement | One review, about an hour |
Fixed price, agreed before we start, plus HST. If your project is genuinely bigger than this, we'll tell you before we quote.
The setup fee is deliberately less than the site is worth on its own. The monthly is where we earn the relationship. We're taking on our first clients now, and there are introductory terms — ask.
What this looks like
The same business, explained properly.
Where it makes sense, we build the replacement first — so you're reacting to something real instead of imagining it from a proposal. Three we've done:
A team apparel supplier. The old site opened with a stock hockey photo and a slogan; the actual job — getting a team's gear ordered and paid for without a paper form — never appeared.
A dark stock photo, a slogan, and five identical “why choose us” boxes. Nothing about how ordering actually works.
Names the real problem — the order form — in the headline, shows the thing it replaces, and puts one action in front of you.
The same business, explained properly. JustMyTeam, Whitby — March 2026.
Canada's longest-running farmers market. The old site opened with a slogan over a full-screen photo; hours were squeezed into a banner and vendors were a text list three clicks in.
A slogan, a stock-feeling hero, and no answer to the only two questions visitors have: when is it open and who's selling?
Hours and this Saturday's line-up up front, vendors and what's in season one scroll down, one clear next step — and fast on a phone.
The same business, explained properly. Cobourg Farmers' Market, Cobourg — January 2026.
A family health clinic. Six top-level menus, most with dropdowns, a hero photo with a caption instead of a message, and three paragraphs before anything told you what they treat or how to start.
Six top-level menus, a generic welcome line, and the actual services hidden below three paragraphs of introduction.
Who they help, in plain words. Five disciplines on one line, booking always in reach, and a path for people who don't know what to ask for.
The same business, explained properly. Robin's Nest Family Care, Guelph — April 2026.
A short list, done properly.
-
Primary
Websites
Modern, fast, responsive sites built around what your customers need to know and do — then actually finished and launched.
-
Ongoing
Hosting and care
Canadian hosting, updates and backups, plus a real person to email when something needs changing.
-
Later
Automation
Quotes, bookings, invoices, follow-ups. We automate the repetitive work only where the time saved clearly justifies it.
Who you'd be working with
You'll have my number.
Three of us — a father and two sons. We work out of Pickering and farm in Northumberland, and we design, build, host and support everything ourselves. You won't be handed to a salesperson, then a project manager, then a developer you never meet.
Cold Springs Organics is ours too — a working farm with a stand at the Cobourg Farmers' Market. It's why we're hard-nosed about whether a piece of technology is worth what it costs.
Four ways this is different from hiring an agency.
-
See it before you commit
Where it makes sense we show you the improvement instead of asking you to picture it from a document.
-
Built for the business, not the awards page
The job of the site is to help customers understand you, trust you, and get in touch.
-
Modern tools, human judgment
We use AI and automation hard behind the scenes. You never have to manage any of it.
-
Someone still answers
We're deliberately small. You'll know the people doing the work, and they'll know your business.
Wondering what we'd change about your website?
Send us the address. We'll look at it properly and tell you where we think the biggest opportunities are — plainly, and at no cost.
A short written response, usually within two business days. No obligation, and no proposal you didn't ask for. If we're not the right fit, we'll say so.
Thanks — we've got it.
One of us will look at your site and write back within two business days. No automated sequence, no sales calls.
