Web design for Kingston businesses
A real, working website for your business in the Limestone City. Built once, built properly, and built by someone who'll still answer the phone six months later.
A website should behave like a good furnace. You shouldn't have to think about it. It should be quiet, it should work in February, and when something does go wrong you should be able to call the person who installed it and have them actually pick up.
That's the whole idea here. I build websites for small businesses in and around Kingston. Shops on Princess Street, trades running out of a truck, clinics, studios, consultants, restaurants, anybody who needs a place online that tells people who you are, what you do, and how to reach you, without a monthly bill for features you never asked for.
What you actually get
A site that loads fast on a phone, because that's where most of your customers will see it first. Pages that say what you do in plain language, so a stranger understands you in ten seconds. A working way for people to call, email, or book you. Google Maps and search set up so that when somebody types your kind of business plus Kingston, you're in the running.
Three sizes, not one
You wouldn't put a furnace built for a mansion into a two-bedroom bungalow, and you shouldn't buy the mansion-sized website "just in case" either. Pick the size that actually fits your business today. Most Kingston businesses only need Starter. You can move up a size later, and nothing you paid for the first time gets thrown away.
Starter
$1,800
For a business that needs one clear front door online. This is the size most businesses here actually need.
- Home, about, and contact pages, plus one or two pages for the services people actually call about
- Built mobile-first, with your phone number, address, and hours in the first screenful
- A content management system so you can update your own pages whenever you need to
- A design built to help your business stand out, on phones and on desktops alike
- A basic SEO package to get you found from day one, on top of Google Maps and local search set up so Kingston searches turn up your business
Grow
$3,200
For a business with more than one service, or more than one part of the city it serves.
- Everything in Starter
- Up to ten pages, a dedicated one for each service and each area you actually serve
- A simple way to update your own hours, prices, and post news or specials yourself
- A photo page or gallery, set up properly
Complete
$5,500
For a business ready to sell, book, or manage members online.
- Everything in Grow
- Online booking or a simple store, whichever fits how you actually do business
- Room for a members' area or gated content, if your business runs that way
- Built so you can keep adding services and pages later without a rebuild
Every size is yours, full stop. The domain, the hosting account, and every file are registered in your name from day one, not mine. If you ever want to leave, you take the whole thing with you.
Financing is available too, if spreading the cost works better for your business. Say so when we talk and we'll set up a plan that fits.
Who is behind this
Me. My name is Christopher Ross, and I've been building things on the web since 1996 and working in WordPress since 2007. I also run a consulting practice at thisismyurl.com that serves larger clients: universities, media companies, government teams. Same hands, smaller scope.
Kingston is a new market for me, and I'd rather say that plainly than pretend otherwise. What I bring is thirty years of doing this work in Ontario and the willingness to learn your street before I build your page.
