Frequently Asked Questions About Canadian Web Design

  • Our managed website plan is $150 CAD per month with $0 down on go-live. It covers custom build, hosting, SSL, backups, CDN delivery, technical SEO foundations, and unlimited standard content updates. Large ecommerce, custom apps, or full redesigns are quoted separately.

  • A custom-coded, mobile-first site (typically around five core pages for a standard launch), technical SEO setup, structured data, performance-focused implementation, hosting, SSL, backups, global CDN delivery, and unlimited standard updates handled by our team. Canada-based human support is included.

  • No setup fee. Billing starts when your site goes live on the monthly plan. There is a 12-month initial term, then month-to-month.

  • There is a 12-month initial term so we can launch, stabilize, and optimize performance. After that, service continues month-to-month.

  • After the initial 12 months, you continue month-to-month with the same inclusions unless we agree to a different arrangement. You can request an export of your content; you retain ownership of your domain and your content.

  • Yes. You own your domain and your content. We can help point DNS and provide exports when needed.

  • Standard updates include text edits, image swaps, testimonials, service or menu changes, hours, pricing updates, simple new sections within your existing layout, and similar work that fits your site’s system. Full redesigns, large ecommerce builds, custom web apps, complex integrations, paid ads management, and similar work are quoted separately.

  • Updates are unlimited in the sense that we do not charge hourly for routine work—but we process requests in a practical queue. Same-business-day acknowledgement is typical; most standard requests ship within about one to two business days. Very large requests may be split or quoted.

  • WordPress can work, but many small business sites accumulate theme and plugin bloat that hurts speed and security. We build static-first, custom sites so performance and maintenance stay predictable, and we handle updates for you.

  • DIY builders are fine for some businesses, but costs, limits, and add-ons can stack up—and you still end up managing the site. We replace DIY overhead with a managed flat monthly plan focused on speed, SEO foundations, and done-for-you changes.

  • Yes. We implement technical SEO foundations: metadata, headings, internal linking patterns where appropriate, structured data, performance hygiene, and crawl-friendly markup. We do not guarantee specific Google rankings—rankings depend on competition, industry, and ongoing content/off-site factors.

  • No ethical provider can guarantee a specific ranking position. We focus on technical quality, speed, and clear structure so your site can compete; rankings also depend on your market, content, and links.

  • We target 95+ PageSpeed scores on new static builds we control. Final scores can be affected by third-party scripts, tracking, embeds, fonts, and client-requested features—we’ll flag those trade-offs when they appear.

  • Yes—see our portfolio for live Canadian client sites. Many entries include links to PageSpeed reports so you can verify performance yourself.

  • Timeline depends on content readiness and scope, but many standard service-business sites launch in a few weeks once copy and assets are available. We’ll give a realistic schedule after discovery.

  • We primarily work with Canadian service businesses: clinics and spas, trades, schools, consultants, restaurants, professional services, and similar teams that need a credible site without managing a builder.

  • Contact us by WhatsApp, SMS, email, or phone from this page and tell us about your business. We’ll recommend the fastest path to launch and confirm fit.

  • Agentic browsing is how well AI agents and tools like Google PageSpeed Insights can read, navigate, and interact with your website. We build every site with llms.txt, agents.json, structured data (JSON-LD), semantic HTML, and accessible forms so agents—and Lighthouse’s Agentic Browsing category—can understand your business without guessing from menus alone.
