On-page SEO
Fast, clean pages with the right titles, headings, and local keywords so Google understands exactly what you do and where.
SEO web design & local SEO
Websites built to rank.
Most websites look fine and rank nowhere. I build fast, hand-coded sites with local SEO baked in from the first line of code — so businesses across Kitchener-Waterloo, Perth County, and Ontario actually get found on Google, not just online.
Pretty isn't the point
A website that ranks beats one that just looks nice.
Plenty of businesses pay for a good-looking site and then wonder why the phone doesn't ring. The reason is almost always the same: it loads slowly, the code is bloated, and it was never structured for search in the first place.
I do it the other way around. SEO comes first — clean hand-written code, fast load times, a logical heading structure, proper titles and descriptions, and the local keywords your customers actually type. The result looks great and climbs Google.
It's the same approach behind the pages already showing up for "Stratford web design" and "Kitchener web design" — built to be found.

How you get found
The three things that move local rankings.
Google Business Profile
The map pack sits above the regular results. I set up and optimize your profile so you show up when locals search "near me."
Reviews & trust
Steady reviews and consistent local listings tell Google you're the real deal. I'll set up the system to make asking easy.
SEO by area & trade
Local SEO where you need it.

FAQ
SEO questions, answered honestly.
SEO web design means the site is built to rank from day one — fast, clean code, proper titles and headings, local keywords, and a structure Google can read — instead of bolting SEO on after a pretty template is already slowing you down.
Yes. Every build includes on-page local SEO, and I help set up and optimize your Google Business Profile so you show up in the local map pack and "near me" searches across your area.
On-page fixes and a faster site can help within weeks, but local ranking is a marathon — reviews, consistent listings, and content build over a few months. I'm honest about timelines and won't promise overnight page-one rankings.
Often, yes. If your current site is fixable I'll do an SEO tune-up; if it's slow, dated, or built on a bloated platform, a clean rebuild usually ranks better and costs less to maintain. I'll tell you honestly which makes sense.
