Web design · Toronto
Websites for the places people walk into.
I build sites for cafés and small shops. The hours are right, the menu has prices, and someone who has never been can find your door.
Taking on new projects
01 Work
02 What you get
A site that answers the questions people phone you to ask.
Every build includes these. They are the things a café owner actually gets asked about, and the things most small-business sites get wrong.
Open or closed right now, in Toronto time, plus the holiday change you made last week.
Every item and every price in one place, filterable, and it prints cleanly for the counter.
A map, the nearest transit, and the part everyone forgets: how to find your actual door.
Your name, address, phone and hours match everywhere, written in the structured data search engines read.
One page, your own photos, no page builder loading half a megabyte of scripts before the first word appears.
The domain is registered in your name and the files are yours. You are not renting your own website.
03 A quick check
How is your site doing right now?
Eight things a small-business site should do. Tick the ones yours already does. Nothing leaves this page until you press the button, and the result just fills in the message below so you do not have to write it.
0 of 8
Tick whatever applies. Most sites I am asked to look at score three or four.
04 How it works
Four steps, about three weeks.
A short call
Twenty minutes. What do people phone you to ask? That list becomes the site.
Research, then two directions
I read your reviews, your photos and your Instagram, then come back with two concepts and a recommendation. You pick one.
Build
Your real photos and your real prices. I test it at eight screen sizes and hand you a list of everything I checked before you see it.
Launch, then look after it
Domain registered in your name, site live, and edits when the menu changes. You are never stuck with a site you cannot update.
05 About
One person, start to finish.
I design and build the whole site myself, so the person who takes your call is the person writing the code. No account manager, no handoff, no ticket queue.
I work with cafés and small shops in Toronto. These places already do the hard part well. The website should just make it easy for someone to find you, see what you sell, and know you are open.
I care about the boring parts other people skip: the address matching Google, the page loading on a slow phone, the menu being editable when your supplier changes a price.
06 Contact
Tell me about your place.
Send a few lines about your shop and what is not working. I reply to everything, usually the same day.
Thanks, that came through.
I will read it properly and reply, usually the same day. If it is urgent, phone me.
