Custom websites for your local business

A website as good as the business behind it.

Fast on phones, easy to find on Google,
and yours to keep. No vendor lock-in.

Pick the pieces.
We build the rest.

Every website is built around your business. Here's what we can include.

Multi-page architecture

Home, services, about, contact, gallery. Whatever fits. Built with proper structure so Google finds you.

Contact forms & booking

Real working contact forms that send straight to your inbox. Online booking via Calendly, SimplyBook, or whatever calendar tool you already use.

Photo galleries & menus

Show off your work. Restaurants get menus that update in seconds. Service businesses get galleries that aren't slideshows from 2015.

Custom domain & email

We set up your domain (yourbusiness.com), point it to the website, and configure professional email if you don't already have one.

SEO & speed

Websites built with Astro, the framework Google rewards. Fast on mobile, ranks for local search, no template bloat.

E-commerce

Simple Stripe checkout, Square integration, or a shop page. Not Shopify-complicated. Built only when it actually helps you sell.

Anyone can make a website with AI now. Being found is the hard part.

Built first

Your website

Fast, clear pages, one per service, written the way customers search.

AI

reads, we act

Google Search Console
which searches you show up for

Google Analytics
what visitors do: call, book, or leave

Meta Ads
what each ad dollar brought back

Your accounts connected to AI through MCP, the open standard for giving an AI access to your data. Read every week, acted on every week.

The parts nobody mentions.

A website builder stops at "published." We use AI to do the work that comes after, the setup most agencies skip because it takes too long by hand. Every website we ship gets all of this before we call it done.

  • Sitemap submitted to Google and Bing
  • Indexing requested for every new page
  • Structured data on every page, so machines know what you do
  • Google Business Profile connected and matched to the website
  • Same name, address and phone on every listing
  • Search Console and Analytics installed from day one
  • Pages rewritten against what people actually search
  • Questions answered on the page, the way AI assistants quote them

Improve every week

We read your numbers with AI and make the next change. You get a website that keeps getting better.

Be found on Google

We write every page the way your customers search. You get found when they look.

Be recommended by AI

We keep your details clear and consistent everywhere. You get named when customers ask Google's AI or ChatGPT.

25 verified customer inquiries a month from Google.

All three, working for a Guelph pet groomer. Now on autopilot.

Read the story

They visited our website, brushcuts.ca, and were totally blown away!

I can't put words to how very pleased we are with Christopher's work, his patience, and how well he listened to what we wanted! He created our website, and his photographer/videographer also created a collage of great pictures. In ten minutes today two of our clients, one in person and one on the phone, were very excited to have seen an ad on Facebook about Brushcuts. They visited our website, brushcuts.ca, and were totally blown away!

Thank you so much Christopher.

that about yours?

Get your own

Three steps, start to live.

  1. 1 Tell us about your business.

    30 minutes, on a call. We learn what you do, who you serve, what makes you different.

  2. 2 We build the website.

    You watch it come together on a live preview link, tell us what to change, and we change it until it feels like yours.

  3. 3 We put it live.

    On your domain. Hosting, maintenance and small edits are available for a monthly fee whenever you need them.

Before we build, answered

What does a website include?

A multi-page website with contact forms, a media gallery, custom branding, your Google Business Profile connected, and a custom .com domain. Booking forms, SEO setup, and any other features your business needs can be discussed and quoted on a per-case basis.

How much does a website cost?

It depends on what your business needs, so we quote it on the first call once we know the scope. A traditional agency charges thousands and takes weeks. Because we build with AI, the same work takes us a fraction of the time, and that shows in the price.

How long does it take?

Much less time than you would expect. AI lets us write production code in hours that used to take a week. We give you a date on the first call and keep to it. Most of the time, the biggest wait is feedback, not the build.

How is this different from a Wix or WordPress template?

Wix is a platform you rent. The website lives on their servers and runs on their components. WordPress websites are assembled from themes and plugins that slow down and need constant updates. Both tend to look like everyone else's. Ours is custom-built code: faster on mobile, more flexible around your brand, and portable. If you ever want to leave, you actually own what you paid for.

Do I own my website once it's built?

Yes. You own it. We can hand over the source code on request, and the website is portable. It is not locked to any platform or proprietary builder.

Can you redesign my existing website, or only build new ones?

Either. We can refresh an outdated website to feel modern, or build something new from scratch. We'll tell you which makes more sense on the consult. Sometimes starting fresh is faster and cleaner than patching an old codebase.

Do you write the copy and provide photos, or do I supply that?

We can write the copy and pull from copyright-free stock photography to get you live quickly. That said, your own photos and your own insights into how your business talks always make for a better website. Bring whatever you have, and we'll work from it.

What if I want to add features later, like booking, online ordering, or e-commerce?

Yes. Booking calendars, online ordering, Stripe checkout, custom forms. They can be added once the website is live. Some are quick add-ons; bigger features we scope separately. Either way, the codebase is built to grow with you instead of being boxed into a single layout.

How does ongoing maintenance work?

Two options. A monthly retainer for ongoing changes, good if you're updating menus, prices, photos, or content regularly. Or an hourly rate for one-off fixes a couple times a year. We'll recommend whichever fits how often you actually need updates.

Your website is step one. You can still be early to AI.

Once your website is live, we can talk about automating the parts of your business that have been eating your time.
