Websites that get you found first.

Custom websites and local SEO for service businesses in Guelph and across Ontario. I build yours first, so you can see it before you pay anything.

Recent work

Live sites for real businesses. Open any of them on your phone.

Also by me: Case Ace, a practice tool for DECA students, and RaceFinder, a calendar of running races across Canada.

How it works

I build your new website first, with your photos, your reviews and your own words. I send you a private link. You open it on your phone and click around like a customer would. If you want it, it goes live on your domain. If you don't, you don't owe anything.

What it costs

The website

From $1,000

Every site is built for one business, so the price follows the work: how many pages and services it covers, the towns you want to show up in, and anything extra it has to do, like quote forms or booking.

You see your preview before we talk numbers.

Every month

What you need

Some businesses want hosting and the odd change. Others want a new page every month, their Google Business Profile looked after, and someone watching where they show up. We set the monthly around that.

You own the site, and you can cancel with 30 days' notice.

Questions people ask first

Anything else, email me. You’ll get a real answer, not a booking link.

Do I pay anything for the preview?

No. I build it, send you the link, and you decide. If it isn't for you, that's the end of it.

How much does a website cost?

Builds start at $1,000. The price grows with the scope of the work: how many pages and services the site covers, the towns it needs to show up in, and anything extra it has to do. The monthly is set by what you need, from hosting and changes to ongoing SEO work. You own the site, and you can cancel with 30 days' notice. You always see the working preview before any conversation about price.

How long does it take?

A working preview usually takes days, not months, because the site is built for real from the start rather than designed first and coded later. Taking it live on your domain, moving an old site and the first round of ranking work add time on top, depending on scope.

Do you do SEO, or just design?

Both. Every site is built with SEO in its structure, and ongoing local SEO (Google Business Profile work, content and ranking checks) can be part of the monthly. If you already have a site you want to keep, the Guelph SEO page explains the free ranking audit.

Do I own the site?

Yes. The code, the domain and the content are yours. The monthly covers what you choose, from hosting and edits to ongoing SEO work, and you can cancel anytime with 30 days' notice.

Can you keep my current domain?

Yes. The new site goes live at the same address, and your old page links keep working, so you don't lose what Google already knows about you.

Can you guarantee I’ll rank first?

No. Nobody controls Google, so nobody honest can promise a position. What you can check is history: MBP Outdoor Services is #3 on Google for “hardscaping port elgin” and A Cut Above Yard Services is #3 for “lawn care guelph”. Search them before you spend anything.

Do you work outside Guelph?

Yes. Guelph is home base, and the same work runs for service businesses across Wellington County, Waterloo Region and up to Saugeen Shores on Lake Huron.

Founder, FoundFirst Digital

I run A Cut Above Yard Services, a lawn care company in Guelph. Its website started on Wix, moved to Google Sites, and ended up rebuilt properly in real code, one page per service. That's the site that put it on the first page of Google for lawn care in Guelph.

FoundFirst is that same work for other businesses. I build every site myself, I look after it once it’s live, and when you email, you’re talking to me. I’m based in Puslinch, just outside Guelph.

Tell me about your business.

What you do, where you work, and your current website if you have one. A few lines is plenty. I'll build a preview and send you the link.

For example: a small HVAC company in Cambridge, mostly residential, current site made on Wix in 2019.
