Web design for
car dealerships in Whitby.
We opened all 27 websites belonging to dealerships in Whitby and recorded what we found: the platform behind each one, whether it works on a phone, whether it is secure, and how old the page is.
We report only what loaded. Sites that answered with a bot challenge were left out rather than guessed at, which is why the 27 here is smaller than the 31 listings.
What they are built on
What Whitby runs on.
Platform matters less than upkeep. 11 of the 27 Whitby sites are WordPress, 0 are on a builder aimed at people who did not want to hire anyone, and 3 have not had their footer year changed since 2000.
What actually breaks
No enquiry form anywhere on the site
on 12 of them.
We recorded every fault we could see on the 27 Whitby sites. The one that turns up most is no enquiry form anywhere on the site — 12 of them. Next is no main heading on the page on 11, then no analytics — nobody is measuring what the site does on 4.
A site here that fixes no enquiry form anywhere on the site alone is already ahead of 12 local competitors on that count. That is the whole argument for doing the dull parts first.
Who you are up against
2,305 reviews
from the top five.
Half the car dealerships in Whitby have more than 107 reviews and half have fewer. The top five hold 11,745, 5,347, 3,138, 2,486, 2,412, and 6 of the 31 carry a 4.9 rating or higher — so rating alone does not separate anyone here; volume does.
Whitby holds 31 of the 1,407 dealerships we found across the GTA, which ranks it 16th among the 26 places we surveyed. Review counts are not comparable between trades, so none of this means anything outside car dealerships.
What this means for you
The Whitby leaders
already fixed this.
4 of the five most-reviewed car dealerships in Whitby run a secure site that works on a phone. Between them they hold 25,128 reviews. That is the standard a customer compares you against before reading a word about you.
Most of the 31 dealerships in Whitby are one location with a small team, which puts them at the lower end: $590 to $1,190 built, $129 to $299 a month after. Payment comes once the site is in front of you. Full pricing.
