What happens next
Four steps from enquiry to kickoff.
Enquiry
Today
You send the form below. We read it the same day and check whether the goal, budget and timeline line up before anyone books a call — no discovery calls sold as sales calls.
Fit call
Within 1 business day
A 30-minute call with the person who will actually run the build. We walk your current site, your search visibility and your lead flow, then tell you plainly what would move the number.
Fixed-scope proposal
2–4 business days
A written scope: pages, features, integrations, SEO deliverables, milestones, revision rounds and a fixed price. No hourly surprises, no line items you cannot read.
Kickoff
Week 1 after signing
Content and access checklist, a shared board, and a staging URL from day one so you watch the site take shape instead of waiting for a reveal.
How we engage
Three ways to work with the studio.
Project build
Fixed scopeNew site, redesign, e-commerce or an AI-native build. Priced per scope with milestone billing at kickoff, design sign-off and launch.
- —Design + build + launch
- —SEO architecture included
- —Milestone billing
- —Ownership transferred on final payment
SEO retainer
MonthlyTechnical fixes, content built around real query clusters, local visibility and links — reported monthly against rankings, traffic and enquiries.
- —Technical + on-page + content
- —Local pack and map work
- —Monthly reporting call
- —No 12-month lock-in
Care plan
MonthlyHosting, updates, uptime and form monitoring, backups and small changes so the site keeps earning after launch instead of quietly decaying.
- —Uptime + form monitoring
- —Security and dependency updates
- —Monthly change allowance
- —Performance reporting
Budget bands
What projects typically cost.
Real ranges from Ottawa engagements, so you can self-qualify before a call. Scope drives price: page count, custom components, integrations, content production and how much SEO groundwork is needed.
| Budget | Typically fits | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| $5,000 – $15,000 | Marketing site, 5–12 pages, one lead path, local SEO foundations. | 3–5 weeks |
| $15,000 – $40,000 | Multi-service or multi-location site, custom components, content system, e-commerce. | 6–10 weeks |
| $40,000+ | AI-native builds, portals, custom software, ongoing product work. | 10 weeks+ |
SEO retainers and care plans are quoted separately and monthly. See our Ottawa price benchmarks.
Before the call
Helpful to have on hand.
- ✓Your domain and current hosting or CMS login (or who holds them)
- ✓Google Analytics and Search Console access, if they exist
- ✓The two or three competitors you are measured against
- ✓Any brand assets: logo files, fonts, photography
- ✓The one number this project should move — calls, quotes, orders or applications
- ✓Hard dates: a season, a launch, an event, a campaign
Missing a few? Send the form anyway — we can fill the gaps together.
Questions
Before you enquire.
Still unsure? Call +1 (613) 416-9512 and speak to the studio directly, or browse recent work.
How fast can you start?
Most projects kick off within one to two weeks of signing. Care plans and SEO retainers can start the same week.
Do you work with clients outside Ottawa?
Yes. We are based in Ottawa and work across Ontario and Canada, plus a handful of UK and US clients. Everything runs remotely with a shared board and a staging URL.
What if we already have a site we like?
Then we do not rebuild it. We audit it, fix what is costing you rankings or conversions, and quote only the work with a return.
Will a rebuild hurt our current rankings?
Not when it is done properly. We map every indexed URL, keep the slugs that already rank, redirect what is retired and re-check indexing after launch.
Who owns the work?
You do — design, content, code, domain and analytics accounts — from final payment onward. No proprietary platform lock-in.
