Small Business Website Design Toronto

Let’s make your first website for your small business a good one that lasts – and one that your customers will love!

You might be thinking “Wow, a web designer in Toronto who actually has a nice up-to-date website?”. Well, you’d be right. And the reason why you’re right is because I create great websites. I practice what I preach, I also teach what I preach web design on my YouTube channel. The websites I create are carefully crafted with purpose and passion – page by page. This is why my web design is targeted at small business owners who want their website to be beautiful, effective, and loved by its users. The question remains, is that you?

The problem with Small Business Websites

Video: My Mission For A More User-Friendly Internet

Whether you go with an agency or a freelancer, small business websites in Toronto often seem to be made to impress every visitor that comes across them. This sounds good, but in reality, a lot of websites go too far as to make people’s experience and ease of use on the website worse in the pursuit of trying to stand out and be flashy.

Websites need to be effective – not flashy, especially websites for small businesses just entering the market. Sure a flashy website can get someone’s attention for a couple of seconds, but an effective one is one that converts and sells. I make websites that are easily understood by users enabling them to convert better while still making the website’s design rememberable and attractive for you and your potential customers/clients.

How will your customers feel about your new website?

A bad outdated website design can easily dissuade people from going with your business. A properly designed and modern website will let them know you’re open and ready to sell them on your product/service.

If not carefully looked at a website can very easily be annoying for users to use, resulting in them leaving your website. That’s why UX (user experience) design is so important to get right on every page.

How many times have you been on a website and thought to yourself, “what do you do?” because their website isn’t intuitive. This is a big problem, which is why I design websites specifically around this.

WEB DESIGN PROCESS

The process is quick and effortless.

step 1

You talk to me about your website

We talk over the phone about your project; including what and how many pages you want, the goals of the website, and what you want your website to look like.

step 2

You send me the website content

I then build the website based on the content, images, and requirements you provide. This can take around 2-4 weeks depending on the size of the website.

step 3

You review the completed website!

After I’ve made and completed the website, we make updates and perfect the website based on your feedback. After this, we launch the website and make it live!

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

A small business website tends to have less content than a larger sized business website, which speeds up the development process. A standard 5 page website usually takes 2 weeks, and a bigger 15 page website can take 3-5 weeks. I can work with you if you have a specific deadline that needs to be met.

Custom functionality like adding MLS listings, custom booking forms, or custom widgets take time to make. If your website does require customization like that it will be quoted hourly. However, most websites dont need to be quoted for hourly customization as its usually included in the standard build.

Nope! I make all my websites with the client in mind by making the website easy and intuitive to edit, update, and add content. If you're not confident in your technical capabilities, we can sit down for a 1-on-1 tutorial.

Your small business website should only need a couple minutes of maintenance a month. It's common for people to even leave their website for 5 months and it be okay. All your website would need is plugin and WordPress updates to keep it running securely. I've also written on article on a websites maintenance to help clients.
