The studio
STUDIO
A studio based in London, Ontario that designs and builds websites and automation for businesses across the province. We take on a few projects at a time and do the work ourselves.
01
What we believe
A website has a job
It should bring in calls, bookings or orders. If a page is not helping with that, we leave it out.
Yours, not a theme
We design each site around one business. No bought themes with your logo swapped in.
Plain answers
Prices are published, scope is in writing, and we tell you when you do not need something.
Close by
We are based in London. You can call us, and the person who answers is the person doing the work.
02
Who is behind it
Connor Swain
Chief operating officer
Connor oversees day to day operations and works alongside Chris as your second point of contact.
03
Who we build for
Independent businesses across Ontario: clinics, trades, restaurants, shops, salons and other owner run places where customers look you up before they call. We work in person around London and by video call everywhere else.

Common questions
My business is small. Is this still for me?
Yes. Most of the businesses we work with have one location and a small team.
Is this a template or a site builder?
Neither. We design and code each site for your business. That takes longer than installing a theme, which is part of why we publish our prices up front.
Do you help with what the site says?
Yes. Before we design anything we look at how your business shows up online today, what nearby competitors do, and what your customers need to know before they call. The layout and the wording come from that.
Can I see work you have done?
Our public examples are four demo sites for made up businesses, so you can click through real design work without us sharing client details. The better test is a free mockup of your own homepage.
How long does it take?
A one page site usually takes 2 to 3 working days and a business site 1 to 2 weeks, counted from when we have your content and approvals. Your written proposal sets the actual timeline.
Do I need to know anything technical?
No. We handle the technical side and explain anything you need to decide in plain English.
What happens after launch?
You own the site you paid for. The first 90 days of our care plan are included: hosting, updates and fixes. After that, care is $349/month or $3,499/year CAD if you want to keep it, or we help you move the site to hosting of your own. Domain fees are separate.
What does it cost?
One page sites start at $1,500 CAD. Most business websites land between $3,000 and $5,500 CAD before tax. The estimator gives you a range in about a minute, and the final price is in a written proposal before any work starts.
How should I compare proposals?
Compare what each proposal actually includes and what it costs every year after launch, not just the first price. Sometimes a template or a site builder really is the right call, and we will tell you if we think so.
I received a free mockup, what do I do next?
Click through it and see if the direction feels right. There is no obligation. It is a sample, not a finished website, so it cannot be published as is. If you want to go ahead, reply to the email it came with and we will quote the full site.
Can I change my mockup?
Yes, once you hire us to build the real site. Colours, layout, wording and features can all change. The mockup is just the starting point.
See yours first
Send us your business name and we will design a homepage you can click through. It is free, and you decide afterwards.
