Web design and development in Ottawa
Most small-business websites in this city are slow, invisible on a phone, and impossible to find on Google. We build the other kind: hand-coded, fast, and structured so that the people searching for what you do actually land on you.
Who this is for
- Trades and service businesses whose work comes by word of mouth and stops there
- Established companies on a site built years ago that nobody can edit
- Bilingual businesses that need English and French done properly, not machine-translated
What is included
- Design and build on Next.js — no page-builder bloat, no monthly theme licences
- Sub-two-second loads on a phone, on data, which is where your customers actually are
- Search structure done at build time: titles, schema markup, sitemap, local signals
- A quote or booking form that reaches your inbox, not a dashboard you never open
- Bilingual EN/FR with proper hreflang, if you serve both sides of the river
How it works
- 01
Questionnaire
Twenty minutes on your phone. It replaces three meetings and it is how we learn your trade.
- 02
Build
One to three weeks depending on size. You see it live on a staging link the whole way.
- 03
Launch
Domain, hosting, forms, analytics and Search Console set up and handed over in your name.
- 04
After
Content edits, new pages, and the technical maintenance — or the keys, if you want to run it yourself.
Questions
Typical range: $2,500 – $6,000. Fixed written quote after a free 20-minute call.
How much does a website cost in Ottawa?
A focused site for a trade or service business generally lands between $2,500 and $6,000. Larger builds with custom functionality go past that. The number depends on how many pages, whether it is bilingual, and how much of the content you write. You get a fixed written price before anything starts.
How long does it take?
One to three weeks of build time once we have your content. The part that usually causes delay is photos and text, which is why the questionnaire asks for them up front.
Do I own it?
Yes. The domain is registered in your name, the code is yours, and hosting is an account you control. Nothing is held hostage, and there is no monthly fee to keep your own website online.
Can you work with the site I already have?
Sometimes. If it is on WordPress or Squarespace and the bones are sound, fixing speed, mobile layout and search structure is cheaper than starting over. We will tell you honestly which situation you are in.
