What a Guelph business needs to show up.
Custom website design
Built from scratch in Next.js and server-rendered. No template or drag-and-drop builder underneath.
Web development
The design and the development, done by the same person: quote forms, content you can edit, and pages that load properly on a phone.
Website redesigns
Keep your content and domain. The structure gets rebuilt properly, with redirects so existing pages keep working.
Local SEO
Pages written around what Guelph customers search, plus the technical work behind them.
Hosting and care
Hosting, uptime monitoring, edits and monthly ranking checks, billed as a small monthly. You own everything.
Why most Guelph business sites never get found.
Guelph is a city of about 145,000 people with thousands of local businesses chasing the same searches: plumber Guelph, landscaping Guelph, electrician Guelph. The businesses on the first page get most of the calls.
Most local sites lose that fight before it starts. Template builders make it easy to look fine and hard to rank: heavy code, thin structured data and the same page structure Google has crawled countless times. The design is rarely the problem. What's underneath is.
A site I build is different at the code level: server-rendered pages, schema markup that says exactly what you do and where, headings built around the searches your customers make, and copy written for your business, not a template with the city name swapped in.
A web designer in Guelph, not an agency.
You talk to me
I do the design, the code, the SEO and the ongoing work myself, not an account manager passing notes along.
No overhead in the price
There’s no office, sales team or project manager to pay for, so the budget goes into the work.
Limited capacity
It’s one person, so ask what’s already in progress before you plan a launch date.
See your site free. Pay if you love it.
Every job is different and so is the price. You see the real site first, then we talk numbers.
See your site, freeTell me about your business.
What you do, where in Guelph you work, and what your current site looks like, if you have one. A paragraph is plenty.
I build the real thing.
Not a mockup. A working version of your actual site on a private preview link. Open it on your phone and click around like a customer would.
You decide.
If you love it, we get on a 15-minute call and figure out the right number. If you don't, walk away. No invoice.
What it costs
Builds start at $1,000. Where yours lands depends on the size of the site, what it has to do, and the work it takes to rank it.
Every site is a one-time build fee plus a small monthly that keeps it hosted, monitored and ranking. You own the site, and you can cancel with 30 days' notice.
Questions Guelph businesses ask.
Anything else, email me. You'll get a real answer, not a booking link.
How much does a website cost in Guelph?
Builds start at $1,000. Where yours lands depends on the size of the site, what it has to do, and the work it takes to rank it. Every site is a one-time build fee plus a small monthly that keeps it hosted, monitored and ranking. You own the site, and you can cancel with 30 days' notice. You always see the working preview before any conversation about price.
Can you redesign my existing website?
Yes. Your content, photos and domain can carry over. The structure gets rebuilt properly, and old page addresses are redirected so links and any existing rankings keep working.
What happens after the site launches?
The monthly covers hosting, uptime monitoring and edits, plus the ongoing SEO work: content additions, Google Business Profile posts, technical fixes and ranking checks.
Do I need a Google Business Profile too?
For most Guelph service businesses, yes. The profile decides whether you show up in the map results, and the website backs it up. Setting it up and keeping it active is part of the local SEO work.
Can you guarantee I’ll rank first?
No. Nobody controls Google, so nobody honest can promise a position. What you can check is history: MBP Outdoor Services is #1 on Google for “hardscaping port elgin” and A Cut Above Yard Services is #3 for “lawn care guelph” (checked September 2026). Search them before you spend anything.
