Full redesign, nine product pages
A full redesign with nine product pages and one simple enquiry form. I kept the old page addresses so their search history carried over.
Web design for Richmond Hill businesses, trusted before they call
I build custom-coded websites for Richmond Hill businesses, starting at $1,000. I'm based in Toronto and work with you by video, so there is no office visit and no travel. You talk to the person who builds your site, from the first call to launch. SEO is built into every site.
One site that earns the first call
Most Richmond Hill businesses grow through word of mouth. A neighbour says "call this person," and the first thing anyone does next is look you up on their phone.
You get about five seconds. In that time your site should say what you do, that you work in Richmond Hill and York Region, how to call or book, and why you can be trusted. That is the whole job of the first screen.
So that is how I build it. Your phone number is one tap. Your services are in plain words, one page for each. And your name, hours and details match your Google Business Profile, so the two never disagree. The profile is yours to edit. I tell you exactly what to change.
Who I build for in Richmond Hill
From the Yonge Street shops to Oak Ridges, here is the one job the site has to do for each.
- 01
Clinics and health practices
Treatments in plain words, and an easy way to book. My dental clinic page shows how that looks.
- 02
Accountants and advisers
Who you help, what you charge for, and a real name and face. Trust comes first for a firm.
- 03
Tutoring and learning centres
Programs, ages and fees in one place, and a simple way to enquire.
- 04
Trades and home services
A tap-to-call button, a plain list of the jobs you do, and the areas you drive to.
Websites I have built
To be straight with you: I'm not claiming either of these as a Richmond Hill client. They show how I work.

What a Richmond Hill business website costs
My prices are public. If you rely on Google to bring in customers, I recommend Business: a page for each service and area you cover, plus local setup. Hosting is free, for as long as your site is with me.
Starter
$1,000
one time, 2 to 5 pages, about 1 week
Most popular Business
$2,000
one time, 5 to 8 pages, 1 to 2 weeks
If you rely on Google to bring in customers, this is the one I recommend.
Flagship
$5,000
one time, 8 or more pages, 2 to 3 weeks
Landing page $5001 page, 3 to 5 days
All prices are in CAD and paid one time. You only pay for your own domain, about $15 to $25 a year, bought in your name. See the pricing page.
Here is my promise. You make the final payment only after you have approved the live preview. If something is not right, I keep fixing it. If you are still not happy, you don't pay it.
Built to be found, from day one
Every site has the SEO basics in the code. Business adds local details on every page and Google Search Console, so you can see the words people typed to find you. SEO Growth is optional later, for sites I build ($499 a month). Start with my Google Business Profile checklist.
How it works, from Toronto

- 04
Live preview.
You check a link. When you are happy, I launch.
Questions from Richmond Hill business owners
No. I'm based in Toronto, and I work with Richmond Hill businesses by video and email. You review a live preview link before anything goes live.
About 1 week for Starter, 1 to 2 weeks for Business and 2 to 3 weeks for Flagship. It also depends on how quickly you send content and feedback. I tell you what to gather on the first call.
Your website and your Google Business Profile have to match: name, hours, phone and services. I tell you what to change on the profile, since it's yours to edit. No one can guarantee a position in Google, so I don't.
Starter is $1,000, Business $2,000 and Flagship $5,000, all in CAD and paid one time. Hosting is free. See the pricing page for what each includes.
Tell me about your Richmond Hill business
Send me a few lines about what you do. I'll reply with a plan and a free quote. I only take on 4 new sites a month, because I build every site myself.
