London, Ontario

Your brand’s image,
on and off the web.

One shop for the whole picture — the website people judge you on, and the signs, ads and search results that get them there in the first place.

Put your site and hosting with us and the rest comes cheaper, on one invoice, with one number to call.

Local to London Fixed quotes You control everything

01 — What we do

everything with your name on it.

A customer sees your sign on a lawn, searches you on their phone, and lands on your website. That is one journey, and it goes badly if the three pieces were made by three different people who never spoke. We do all three.

01

websites

Designed and built from scratch, fast on a phone, easy to find on Google, and simple enough that you can change your own opening hours without phoning anyone. Rebuilds of tired sites too — usually the quickest win a business has sitting in front of it.

  • Design & build
  • Rebuilds of tired sites
  • Online booking & enquiry forms
  • Copywriting and photography

The big one — and what everything below hangs off

02

signs & print

The off-web half. Lawn signs for contractors, job-site boards, vehicle lettering and banners — set in the same type and colours as the site, so it all looks like one company.

  • Lawn & job-site signs
  • Vehicle lettering & magnets
  • Banners, cards & flyers
  • Design, print and delivery
03

hosting & care

Someone who answers. Updates, backups, uptime monitoring and content changes on a flat monthly fee, with no surprise invoices.

  • Managed hosting & SSL
  • Backups & recovery
  • Content and photo changes
  • One phone number, one person
04

google & social ads

Paid traffic, run properly and reported in plain English. We would rather spend less and send it somewhere that converts than win an auction.

  • Google Ads & Local Services
  • Instagram & Facebook
  • Landing pages that match the ad
  • Monthly report you can actually read
05

seo & google profile

Getting found without paying per click. Mostly unglamorous work: your Google Business Profile, your reviews, and the pages that answer what people actually type.

  • Google Business Profile
  • Local search & map pack
  • On-page fixes & content
  • Reviews, asked for properly

And if you want more than one

the more we do, the cheaper it gets.

Once we run your website we are not starting from scratch on anything else — we already have your logo, your fonts, your colours, your photos and your Google account. A set of lawn signs becomes an afternoon rather than a project. That saving is real, so it goes to you instead of into our margin.

Every line is still available on its own — you can buy a set of lawn signs from us and nothing else. The discount exists because the work genuinely gets cheaper for us, not as a penalty for saying no to the rest.

02 — Making the jump

switching shouldn’t feel like a gamble.

Most people we talk to don’t stay with their current provider because they’re happy. They stay because changing sounds risky — the site might go down, nobody knows the passwords, and the invoices are already paid. Here’s exactly how we remove each of those.

  1. 01

    nothing goes dark

    Your existing site stays live and untouched the entire time we build. We only flip the switch when you’ve clicked through the new one and told us you’re happy. If the changeover ever went wrong, we point the domain back the way it was — same day.

  2. 02

    you control everything, from day one

    Domain, hosting, analytics, ad accounts, email — registered in your business’s name with your details, not ours, and you hold the logins. Nothing about how your business runs sits behind a door only we can open.

  3. 03

    we do the awkward admin

    We’ll read your current contract, tell you plainly what it says, and handle the transfer requests and notice period with your existing provider. You don’t have to have the uncomfortable phone call.

  4. 04

    no lock-in, ever

    Everything monthly runs month to month. Thirty days’ notice and we hand over a clean export of the lot — site, artwork, ad accounts — documented, to whoever comes next. We’d rather earn the next month than trap you in it.

  5. 05

    a fixed number, before we start

    You approve a written quote with a scope and a date on it. If we got the estimate wrong, that’s our problem, not a change-request invoice.

  6. 06

    actually local

    We can come and sit in your shop, office or unit, or stand on the job site and look at where the sign is going. Hard to sell a business you’ve never stood inside.

03 — Contract buyout

stuck in a contract? we’ll buy it out.

The most common reason people stay put is that they’ve already paid. So we take that off the table: show us what’s left to run on your current website, hosting or marketing contract, and we deduct it from what you pay us.

You’re never paying two providers at once just for the privilege of moving.

Credited against your build cost, up to the whole of it. If what’s left on your contract comes to more than the build, the build is free. Send us the contract and we’ll work out the remaining term with you before you commit to anything.

04 — Free, no email needed

how is your site doing on google?

Put your address in and we’ll read the page the way a search engine does, then score it. It’s a rough number, not a full audit — but the things it looks at are the things that are actually wrong with most local business websites.

We read your homepage, your robots.txt and your sitemap — nothing else, and we don't keep any of it. Some sites sit behind a firewall that won't let us read them; if yours does, we'll say so rather than guess at a score.

05 — Get a price

tell us what you need.

No packages, no per-page pricing, no "starting from". You tell us what the business actually needs and we come back with one fixed number and a date.

  • A written quote, usually within two working days
  • A straight answer if we're not the right fit
  • Your discount worked out, with the lines you don't want taken out
  • No obligation and nobody chasing you afterwards

Or just talk to a person

06 — Questions we get asked

the awkward ones, answered.

do i have to take more than one thing?

No. Every line is available on its own and you can buy a set of lawn signs from us and nothing else. The discount exists because running your website genuinely makes the rest cheaper for us to do — it isn't a penalty for saying no to the other bits.

what does a website actually cost?

It depends on how much of it there is, so we won't insult you with a number before we've spoken. What we will do is give you one fixed price up front, with the scope written down, so there's no drift. Most local businesses want something in the same shape — a handful of pages, a way to be contacted or booked, and it to be findable — and we'll tell you honestly if you need less than you think.

how long does it take?

A straightforward site is usually a few weeks from the go-ahead, and most of that is waiting on words and photos rather than on us. Signs depend on the printer's queue. Ads can be live in days, but give them a month before judging the numbers. Either way, the date goes in the quote.

my current guy built our site. won't moving break everything?

It's the right thing to worry about, and it's why we build the new site completely separately while your current one carries on. Nothing changes for your customers until you've seen the new one and said go. The domain move itself is minutes, and it's reversible.

who owns the ad accounts and the artwork?

You do, all of it. Ad accounts go in your business's name with you as owner, and you get the print-ready files for every sign, not just a PDF proof. If you leave, you leave with the lot — we're not holding your logo hostage to keep you.

do we have to be in london to work with you?

No, but it's who we're built for. Being able to drive over, stand behind the counter or look at the lot the sign is going on is the thing that makes this worth paying for rather than hiring whoever is cheapest online.

we're mid-contract. is it worth talking now?

Yes — that's exactly the situation the contract buyout is for. Send us what you're on and we'll work out what's left to run and what we'd knock off. Plenty of people find they're closer to the end than they thought.
