Hosting and care · Etobicoke

Someone still
looking after it.

177 business websites in Etobicoke still show a copyright line five years old or more. Almost none of those owners decided to let the site rot — the person who built it moved on and there was nobody left to ask for a change.

We did not sample Etobicoke — all 2,470 listings were checked, and each fault was counted on the page itself rather than estimated from a tool. (Etobicoke is part of Toronto; we count the businesses that give Etobicoke as their address.)

What the monthly fee is actually for

Hosting, the domain, the certificate, edits whenever you need them, your Google listing and ongoing search work. Not a maintenance plan on top of a separate SEO retainer on top of hosting — that arrangement is how three companies end up not quite talking to each other about one website.

Measurement first

652 of the 1,601 sites we opened in Etobicoke have no analytics at all, which means their owners cannot tell whether anything they do works. That goes in before the work, not after.

What counts as an edit

Text, prices, photographs, a new service, a seasonal notice, a page for a new location. If it takes under an hour it is included, and most things do.

Questions

Before you ask.

How many Etobicoke websites are abandoned?

Of 1,601 working sites we opened in Etobicoke, 177 carry a copyright line five years old or older and 895 carry no date at all. Only 771 show this year or last.

Is there a contract?

No. The monthly part is month to month, and the site and the domain are yours either way.

Before you decide anything

Find out whether
you have a problem.

Most people asking about a rebuild do not need one. The free check opens your site, looks at how it behaves on a phone, whether it is secure and how old the page is, and tells you which of those apply to you.

If you want
one built.

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.
