Websites for local businesses in Ottawa

A customer just tried to book you. They booked someone else.

We build your website, and the online booking to go with it if you take appointments. From $3,500 plus HST. No cut of a booking, and no fee per staff member.

You get two sections of your own website, built with your words. Yours to look at whether or not you hire us.

Who it’s for

The problem is the same. Your business is not.

Someone wanted you. Booking somebody else was easier. Pick your line of work.

Salons and barbers

People book their week at nine at night. If your site cannot take it, the chair stays empty on Thursday. Somebody else fills theirs.

Fix this first

Takes the appointment while you sleep.

Trades and home services

You are under a sink or up a ladder when the phone rings. The caller does not leave a message. They dial the next number on the list.

Miss a call, the caller gets a text back.

Clinics and practices

Someone phoned at lunch and nobody could pick up. By the time you call back, that patient has booked somewhere else, and you never knew they tried.

Gyms and studios

Class times, spots left and sign-up live inside somebody else’s app. Mindbody, WellnessLiving, Momence. Most charge more every time you add a coach. The member list stays theirs.

Professional services

Booking a first consult takes four emails and a round of phone tag. A Calendly link helps, but it sits on somebody else’s page. You never learn who dropped out.

The phone rings while you’re on a job.

It is a voice assistant, not a person. It gives your real hours and prices. It puts the booking in your calendar.

The missed call hires your competitor.

From $400 a month plus HST

Before they dial the next number. It also texts customers who have not been back lately.

No-shows eat the week.

Included with your booking page

Confirmations and reminders send themselves by email. People cancel their own appointment, so the time gets filled. Chasing late cancellations is a separate system, priced on the services page.

Reviews sit unanswered.

From $300 a month plus HST

We draft it in your voice. You approve it with one tap.

People search in Ottawa, and you do not come up.

From $750 plus HST

We fix your Google listing and your pages. People find your real hours, services and prices. That includes the AI answers Google now shows above the results.

We also build customer lists, online payments and website chat. If your problem is not here, we build custom software for it. We print the price before we build.

Everything above feeds your calendar, your customer list and your web address. All three are in your name. Leave anytime, take everything.

The work

An Ottawa salon. The before is real. So is the after.

This salon came to us on the template you see on the left. The site on the right is theirs now, with booking built into it. No cut of a booking, and no fee per chair. If you run chairs, tables, vans or an appointment book, this is the job we do.

Every price printed

No “call for pricing,” ever.

Two builds, and fifteen founding places at a lower price. Every figure in CAD plus HST.

Website

Look like the best place on the street.

The pricefrom $3,500

Founding ratefrom $2,500

Then $99 a month, instead of $199, because we never hold your customer list.

  • A one-page website, 5 to 7 sections, built from scratch and for a phone first.
  • We keep the booking you use now, make it match, and put it where people will press it.
  • 10 to 15 of your own photos, edited so your pages load fast.
  • and 2 more, listed on the prices page

Typically about 1 week

The one we recommend

Website plus your own booking

No cut of a booking. No fee per staff member.

The price$8,500

Founding rate$4,000

Then $150 a month, instead of $299, because your customer list lives with us.

  • A bigger website, built from scratch and for a phone first.
  • Your own booking page. Customers see the times you are really open. Two can never take the same slot. Confirmations and reminders send themselves by email.
  • Your customer list lives on servers here in Canada. Ask for all of it any day and we send it within two business days.
  • and 3 more, listed on the prices page

Typically 1 to 2 weeks

Adding your own booking to the website is $1,500 more.

Founding places are priced low because part of what we are paid is work we are allowed to show. The build is not smaller at the founding rate. What we ask back is written into the agreement before you pay anything. Ask for it with your free sample.

15 places are open. The sixteenth business pays the price above.

More than one location, or more than one calendar, is a bigger build, from $12,000. With one location and one calendar, you do not need it.

The guarantee

It solves your problem, or you don’t pay. And you are the one who decides.

Nothing gets built until you approve the plan. Your deposit stays fully refundable through the first design reveal, plus a round of changes. If it is not right, we part ways and every dollar comes back. You pay again when you approve it on a private preview link, and the balance waits until your site is live and doing its job. We put it in writing, every time.

Plain answers.

The questions owners ask, answered in writing.

What am I risking?

Almost nothing, by design, and you are the one who decides that. Your deposit is refundable for any reason, right through the first design reveal and one round of changes. You pay again when you approve it on a private preview link, and the balance waits until your site is live and working. Full terms on the prices page.

Is a person building this, or a robot?

A person. We use AI tools the way a shop uses power tools. A human works every stage. A human answers when something breaks. The salon build is on the work page, before and after. Any image we make with AI is labelled. Never a fake customer, never a fake result.

Do I own my site and booking system?

Yes, in writing. On your final payment, the website files, the design, the web address, the booking and your customer list are yours. Nobody holds your login. No cut of a booking. No fee per staff member.

What exactly is included at each price?

Websites start at $3,500. Booking on its own is $4,500 to $6,500. What sets the number is the size of the build. We never price it on what we think you can afford, and it never goes up when you hire. We recommend the $8,500 build, with your own booking page, and fifteen founding places are open at $4,000. With Ontario HST, $8,500 is $9,605 and $4,000 is $4,520. Then one monthly bill of $199, or $299 if we hold your customer list. That covers hosting, backups and edits. Month to month, cancel on 30 days’ notice. The prices page lists what each one includes. All prices are Canadian dollars plus HST. No “call for pricing,” ever.

Is the free sample a sales call in disguise?

No. No call unless you ask for one. We build two sections of your real site, with your own words and pictures, and send you the link. You keep it either way. If a new website is not your fix, we will say so.

How it works

Four steps. We do the heavy lifting.

Website sample · free
We build two sections of your real website and send you the link. Your part: send us your business name.
The plan
One short plan: what we would build, in what order, with every price beside it. Read it in one sitting, decide once. Your deposit stays refundable through the first design reveal.
Build
Weeks, typically, not months. Nothing goes live until it loads fast, works on a phone, and works for people with a disability. Check all three on the salon build.
Run
We keep it running: hosting, backups, edits and new content. $199 a month, or $299 if we hold your customer list, plus HST. That is $2,388 or $3,588 a year.

You make a few decisions, and tell us what only you know. We carry everything else. Your part takes about 90 minutes in total.

Start here

Find out what is costing you customers.

The sample is free. Send us your business name. We build two sections of your real website, using your services, your words and your pictures. It is designed the way we would really build it, and none of the buttons work. The link is yours.

Free either way. No sales call.

Most builds go live in one to three weeks, depending on size.

The fine print, printed

The same terms hold here as on a paid build. Everything we make becomes yours on the final payment.

One honest note about where your things live. Your web address is registered in your name from day one. While your monthly plan runs, we host your website and your customer list for you. Ask us in writing, or cancel, and your customer list comes back to you as a file you can open. That is written into the agreement, and a dispute over a bill does not change it.
