Web design for
caterers in Oakville.
This page is the Oakville slice of a survey of 32 catering companies — every listing on Google Maps, every website opened by hand. 0 of the 26 sites do not work on a phone.
Those 32 listings were checked one at a time. 1 of the 26 sites came through with nothing wrong; the rest had at least one of the problems above.
What they are built on
What Oakville runs on.
We identified 4 different platforms behind the 26 sites in Oakville. WordPress accounts for 10 of them. 1 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 12 of them.
We recorded every fault we could see on the 26 Oakville sites. The one that turns up most is no analytics — nobody is measuring what the site does — 12 of them. Next is no enquiry form anywhere on the site on 12, then page title does not name the city they work in on 8.
A site here that fixes no analytics — nobody is measuring what the site does alone is already ahead of 12 local competitors on that count. That is the whole argument for doing the dull parts first.
