Full-service websites

You have a web guy. I build the site, host it, and stay the person you reach when the hours change or something breaks. Same stack behind Small Calibre, Dive Bar, Coleman Finishing, and my other client work.

You have a web guy

Before platforms and agencies, most small businesses had one person who built the site, hosted it, and picked up when something needed changing. That is still the job. I am that person—same contact from first page to year five.

  • I wrote the code; I handle the server
  • Menu change? Email it over. Form broke? Tell me.
  • Hosting and fixes are part of the deal—same person, same inbox
  • Launch is the heavy week; monthly is me staying on the site after that

The monthly part

The monthly fee is your web guy on retainer after launch.

  • Hosting, SSL, and keeping the lights on—I watch uptime and fix what breaks.
  • Call or email when something needs changing: hours, menu, photos, typos.
  • First months after launch: tighten speed and search basics while the site is new.
  • After that: you run the business; I keep the site current.

After launch

New sites get a pass in the first couple of months—speed, structure, how you show up in search—then into the usual maintenance rhythm.

  • Trim weight and fix slow paths—especially on phones.
  • Search Console: what queries show up, which pages get clicks, what titles need a tweak.
  • Page copy aligned to what you actually sell and where you are.

Search

Local queries—your neighbourhood, your services, the phrases people already type when they are looking for a business like yours.

Titles, sitemap, Search Console. The unglamorous upkeep a web guy used to handle, updated for how search works now.

How a build runs

  1. Direction

    Look, voice, references, copy. We align on what it should feel like before structure and price are locked.

  2. Build & launch

    Page list, UX, code, hosting—scoped from the package we agree on, or a written quote if your needs sit outside these guidelines. Launch goes live; monthly starts—you have a web guy on the site.

Terms

  • Packages are rough size guides; scope, price, and timeline are confirmed in writing after intake.
  • Page count means unique layouts and real content depth—not every URL. Regional pages on the same template count as one page family; sections on one scroll page count as one page.
  • Build is one-time (CAD). Monthly is your web guy staying on—hosting, fixes, updates.
  • CMS is optional on every package (+$800 build, +$40/mo at retail).
  • 50% deposit to schedule; balance at launch.
  • Big integrations (e-commerce, booking engines, multi-language) are scoped separately.
  • Intake can stay written; we call when it helps.

Get a written quote

Send your current URL (if you have one), what the site needs to do, and whether you want staff to edit content in admin. I will reply in writing with scope, build price, and timeline—not a menu pick from the cards above.
