Web development is the part of a website most people never see. It decides how fast the pages load, whether the contact form actually reaches you, whether the site survives a traffic spike, and whether Google can read it properly. We do web development in Ottawa for businesses and non-profits that need those parts to work.
When it goes wrong, you usually find out late: leads that never arrived, a site that got hacked, or rankings that vanished after a redesign.
What we build
- Business websites. Sites for service businesses, professionals and non-profits, with a page for each service and a clear way to get in touch.
- Booking and quote forms. Forms that ask the right questions, reach your inbox and phone, and block spam.
- Connections to your tools. Online booking, email lists, payments, job management software and calendars.
- Landing pages. Single pages built for an ad campaign or a new service, designed to turn visitors into leads.
- Website migrations. Moving from Wix, Squarespace or an old WordPress site without losing your Google rankings.
Why we build most sites with Astro
Many business sites run on WordPress with a heavy theme and a stack of plugins. That setup works, but it is often slow, and it needs constant updates to stay secure.
Astro turns your site into plain, pre-built pages. The result:
- Pages load quickly, because there is nothing to build when someone visits.
- There is no database or login page, which removes the most common targets for attackers.
- There are no plugins to update, so fewer things can break.
- If you pay once for your site, we host it on Cloudflare for free, with SSL included.
- Google gets the full page as plain HTML on the first visit, with no scripts to run first.
When a business needs to edit content every day or run complex features, WordPress is still a good choice. See our WordPress service for when we recommend it.
How we keep your rankings during a rebuild
A new website can wipe out years of Google rankings if the old pages simply disappear. We keep your old web addresses or redirect them to the new pages, and our website redesign page lists each step.
Performance you can check
Every site we launch is tested with Google Lighthouse for speed, accessibility and best practices. We send you the results with the handover, so you can see the numbers yourself.
