02Approach

What you get here that you won't get anywhere else.

i.

AI search is half the game now

ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity answer “who's the best plumber near me” more than Google ever did. FoundFirst Digital sites are built from the structure up to be the answer those models cite.

ii.

Custom code. No templates.

Every site is hand-built in Next.js — the same stack Vercel, Notion, and the Washington Post use. Sub-one-second loads. 95+ Lighthouse. Google rewards both.

iii.

One person. One stack. Accountable.

No account managers, no offshore team, no handoff. I build it. I rank it. I host it. When you call, I pick up.

iv.

Proof before payment.

Tell me about your business and I'll build the first 80% of your site for free on a preview link. You see exactly what you'd be buying before a single dollar changes hands.

04About

I build websites the way I built my own business.

Hi. I'm Connor. I'm based in Guelph and I run A Cut Above Yard Services here in the city. Our site ranks #1 on Google for lawn care — because I built it, ranked it, and keep it that way.

I started FoundFirst Digital because every small business owner I talk to says the same thing: their website is the part of their business they hate the most. It's expensive, it's slow, the people building it don't understand the work, and the result still doesn't bring leads.

I built FoundFirst to fix that. Real, ranking-ready websites in days — not the three-month, ten-thousand-dollar agency process. I own the strategy, the design, the ranking, and the relationship from the first call to the moment your phone starts ringing. You get a site that actually generates leads, for less than what most agencies charge to redesign their own pitch deck.

I'll prove it. Tell me about your business below — I'll build the first 80% of your site for free.
