Starter
$1,000
one time, 2 to 5 pages, about 1 week
A real website your customers can find and trust. The right start for most small Brampton businesses.
Web design for Brampton businesses, your first real website
Running on word of mouth, Instagram and a Facebook page? I design and build websites for Brampton businesses that need one proper place customers can trust and contact. Simple, custom-coded, fast on a phone, and starting at $1,000. I'm based in Toronto and work with you by video, so you can do it all from your shop floor or your truck. No templates, no jargon.
From a Facebook page to a real website
Plenty of Brampton businesses start on Facebook, Instagram or a Google listing. It works, up to a point. Then someone asks for your prices, your hours, or a photo of last month's job, and you are copying and pasting the same answers all week.
A website puts those answers in one place. A customer on their phone can see what you do, check you are open, look at your work and send you a message. They do not need an account, and they do not have to scroll back through a year of posts.
If you only need a simple way in, a single landing page does that job. See the prices below.
What stays the same
Your Instagram and your Google profile keep working. The site ties them together, so each one points to the other.
What changes
- Your services and prices (or "from" prices) sit on a page, not buried in a post
- Your phone number is one tap away
- Photos of your actual work get a proper gallery
- Anyone who searches your business name finds you at a web address you own
Websites for Brampton trades, shops and service businesses
Here are the kinds of businesses I build for, and what the site has to do for each.
- 01
Trades and home services
Tap to call, a plain list of what you do, and a gallery of finished jobs. Good for contractors, landscapers and renovators who get work from Heart Lake to Castlemore.
- 02
Auto and repair shops
Your services, your hours and a map link, ready for someone whose car has just broken down and who is searching on a phone.
- 03
Restaurants and food businesses
A menu people can read without pinching and zooming, and a call button that stays on screen. See our restaurant website work.
- 04
Salons and personal care
Services, a few photos that match your style and a clear way to book or enquire. For a studio in Downtown Brampton (the Four Corners area) or out in Springdale.
- 05
Retail
What you sell, where to find you and when you are open. A small shop on Bramalea Road does not need an online store to look professional.
A website built from scratch: Moto Moto Grill
Moto Moto Grill is a restaurant in Thornhill, Ontario, not in Brampton. I'm telling you that because it is the honest answer, and because it is a good match for the first-website reader. They had no online presence at all. We built the site from scratch.
- Moto Moto had no website before. Their site now shows up in Google searches about 3,000 times a month, and 224 people clicked through last month.
- 224 visits from Google in a month
This is one restaurant's result since its site launched. Every business is different.
East African BBQ restaurant, Thornhill, Ontario
The decisions that mattered are simple ones. The menu is real text on a page, not a PDF. It is designed for phones first, since that is what most people use to look. Today is highlighted on the day-by-day menu, so a visitor sees what is on right now. A Call button stays on screen with Menu and Map. Catering has its own page.
Clear prices, no surprises
You should not need to book a call to find out what a website costs. These are fixed package prices, in CAD, paid one time. If you need more than a package lists, I quote it up front, in writing. If you want a rough idea of what drives the cost, my post on how much a website costs goes through it.

Get found when someone searches “near me”
When a customer searches for a plumber, a barber or a mechanic near them, Google looks at the map listings and then the websites. Your site should help with both.
Every site I build has the SEO basics in the code, such as page titles, descriptions, speed and a mobile first layout. Starter also includes Google Business Profile guidance, so I tell you exactly what to fill in and what to match on your site. Our Google Business Profile checklist shows what that covers.
Later on, if you want ongoing help, SEO Growth is an optional monthly plan for sites I build, at $499 a month. Read about SEO and AI search.

Brampton questions
A landing page is $500 (1 page, 3 to 5 days), and Starter is $1,000 (2 to 5 pages, about 1 week). Prices are in CAD, fixed, and paid one time. Hosting with SSL is free. You only pay for your own domain, about $15 to $25 a year, bought in your name. See the pricing page.
Social media is good for reach. A website is the place you own, so it shows up when someone searches Google and lets people contact you without an account. They work well together. Your site can link to your social pages, and your posts can link back to it.
Send a few lines through the contact page about what you do and what you need. I will set up a short video call, then give you a clear quote. The quote is free. Starter lists copy help as available, and we can talk through what you have and what you still need on the call.
No. I'm based in Toronto, and I work with Brampton businesses by video and email. You review a live preview link before anything goes live.
The basics are built into every site I make: titles, descriptions, speed, mobile first, and Google Business Profile guidance on Starter. Business adds local details on every page. How well you show up depends on your competition and on time, and no one can guarantee a ranking. SEO Growth is an optional monthly plan for sites I build, at $499 a month. See SEO and AI search.
Care is an optional monthly plan at $49 a month. It covers small changes, new photos, and text and hours updates, with up to about 1 hour of changes a month. See Care on the pricing page.
