Web design for
carpenters in Scarborough.
This page is the Scarborough slice of a survey of 56 carpentry shops — every listing on Google Maps, every website opened by hand. 3 of the 50 sites do not work on a phone.
Those 56 listings were checked one at a time. 4 of the 50 sites came through with nothing wrong; the rest had at least one of the problems above. (Scarborough is part of Toronto — we count the businesses that give Scarborough as their address.)
What they are built on
3 of them are on
a free builder.
We identified 5 different platforms behind the 50 sites in Scarborough. WordPress accounts for 15 of them. 3 sit on a free or entry-level builder — a fair reading of how much the business has put into being found.
What actually breaks
No analytics — nobody is measuring what the site does
on 17 of them.
Sorted by how often it appears, the fault list for carpenters in Scarborough starts with no analytics — nobody is measuring what the site does (17 sites) and page title does not name the city they work in (14). Both are cheap to fix and neither requires rebuilding anything.
We would start at the bottom of that list, not the top — no structured data for google to read affects fewer sites here (13), which means fixing it puts you ahead of the 37 that already have it right only if the basics are done too.
Who you are up against
72 reviews
from the top five.
The five most-reviewed carpenters in Scarborough hold 224, 113, 109, 98, 84. The middle of the field sits at 12, the lower quarter below 4 and the upper quarter above 34. 3 of the 56 are past 100 reviews and 28 hold a rating of 4.9 or better.
Scarborough is the 1st largest market for carpenters in our survey of the GTA, with 56 of them against 479 across the region. Review counts are not comparable between trades, so none of this means anything outside carpenters.
What this means for you
5 sites in Scarborough
do not load at all.
We requested every one: 5 carpentry shops in Scarborough have a website on their Google listing that is dead or parked, and 10 more load but visibly have not been touched in years. Google still sends people to all of them.
The 6 carpentry shops in Scarborough with no site at all start at $590; a practice replacing something older sits higher. Either way it is paid after delivery, not before. Full pricing.

Questions
The usual questions.
How many carpenters are there in Scarborough?
56 listings, of which 4 have a website with nothing technically wrong with it. The remaining 52 are either missing a site, running a broken one, or running one with at least one fault we could see from outside.
How many Google reviews do I need to compete in Scarborough?
To be average in Scarborough you need 12. To be in the top quarter you need more than 34. To be visible next to the busiest carpenter here you would need 224, which took them years. 28 of the 56 already hold a 4.9 rating, so the rating is not what separates them.
What does a website for a carpenter in Scarborough cost?
Between $590 and $3,900 depending on the size of the practice and how many services need their own page, paid after the site is built and you have seen it. Hosting, edits, your Google Business Profile and ongoing SEO run $129 to $990 a month, cancellable any month.
Before you decide anything
Find out whether
you have a problem.
Most people asking about a rebuild do not need one. The free check opens your site, looks at how it behaves on a phone, whether it is secure and how old the page is, and tells you which of those apply to you.
Think yours needs
rebuilding?
Send us the address and what you do. We will look at what is there and tell you whether a rebuild is worth the money, or whether the problem is somewhere else entirely.
