Websites from $590 · paid after delivery
We build and look after websites for businesses in North York. A one-page site for a solo operator is $590; a business with a crew of three to ten pays $1,190; a legal, medical or financial practice $3,900.
No deposit and no contract: you pay once the site is built and you have seen it, and the monthly part ($129–$990 for hosting, edits, your Google listing and search work) can be cancelled any month.
North York is the 2nd largest of the 26 places we surveyed, with 2,745 listings against 3,173 in Mississauga. North York is part of Toronto; we count the businesses that give North York as their address. Every site behind these listings was opened by hand — nothing here is modelled.

What North York is built on

What actually breaks
Across the 2,238 North York sites we opened, these are the faults that turned up most often. None of them is visible to the owner, which is exactly why they survive for years.
What you get
37 of the 2,238 sites we opened in North York have no mobile layout at all. Most people looking for a local business here are on a phone, often standing somewhere inconvenient. We design for that first.
Categories, service areas, hours, photos and the structured data that puts your address and rating straight into results. 79 North York listings do not even publish opening hours. The median business here has 48 reviews — we will tell you honestly where you stand.
185 sites in North York carry a copyright line five years old or more, which usually means nobody has opened the admin panel since launch. The monthly fee exists so that does not happen to yours.
Each of these has its own page for North York, built from the same survey but looking at a different part of it.

Questions
Yes. We work across the entire Greater Toronto Area, including North York, where we surveyed 2,745 listings. Everything is done remotely — calls, email and a live preview link you can open while we build — so there is no need to meet in person unless you want to.
412 of the 2,745 listings we checked have no website attached to their Google profile at all, and another 124 link to one that does not load or has been parked. On top of that, 438 have a site that works but has visibly not been touched in years.
Between $590 and $3,900 depending on the size of the business and how many pages it needs. You pay once it is built and you have seen it, not before. After launch it is $129 to $990 a month for hosting, edits, your Google listing and ongoing SEO, cancellable any month.
The Google map pack can move within weeks. Ranking in regular search results for competitive terms realistically takes three to six months of consistent work. Anyone promising faster is selling you something.
Check yours
We do not guess and we do not send a report by email. Type the address, wait ten seconds, read what comes back. If your site is fine it will say so.
We build the site, you look at it, and you pay once it is finished and you are happy with it. Hosting, edits and the Google listing carry on monthly, cancellable any month.
