Website Design For Local Businesses

It depends on the scope: the number of pages, how much copywriting and branding is needed, and extras such as photography or video. We do not publish one number for every project. After a free discovery consultation you receive a written proposal with our recommended strategy, deliverables, timeline and pricing, so you can read it through and ask questions before you decide anything.

The timeline depends on the size of the site and how quickly content comes together. Your proposal sets out the deliverables and timelines, and we agree a launch date on the decision call. If you only need a single-page business site, our Website-In-A-Day launch offer is built and deployed within 24 hours of you completing a short form.

SEO is part of the build, alongside mobile design, speed and UI/UX. We write copy for your location and audience, using local keywords, landmarks and cultural references so customers in your area recognize themselves. No one controls where Google ranks a page, so we build solid foundations and measure results. Ongoing SEO work is available as a separate service.

Yes. Mobile design is a priority on every project, because so much browsing happens on smartphones and tablets. We prioritize mobile design, from the layout and text size to the buttons, and speed is part of every build, so your site looks and functions properly on any device and visitors can take the next step easily.

Bring your goals, a list of your services and any brand assets you already have, such as a logo, colours, fonts and photos. If you are missing some of these, we can help with branding, copywriting, photography, videography and brand guidelines. We go through all of it on the discovery call, so you know what is needed before work begins.

It is a free conversation about your project requirements, your budget parameters and your goals. We outline an action plan for your business, then you receive a proposal to review at your own pace. A decision call follows, where we answer questions and adjust the plan. Once we agree on the details, we set a launch date.

Yes. We have rebuilt older sites for local businesses. Riverdale Fitnessmill, for example, had a website that had not been touched for four years and was built on Wix, and we gave it a fresh design and search optimization. You can read that story and others on our case studies page, then book a call to talk about your site.

Yes. Affinity Design is based in Caledon East, Ontario, and we design websites for small and local businesses in Ontario and across Canada. The consultation, the proposal review and the decision call are all booked calls, so you can start from wherever you are. Pick a time that suits you on our booking page.
