Pixel Landing

Web design in Oakville & Halton Region

Is your website actually costing you customers?

Most small businesses don't lose customers to a bad-looking website. They lose them to being slow, or hard to find. On mobile, where most local searches happen, a page that takes 7 seconds to load loses more than twice as many visitors as one that loads in 1. If your website and Google Business Profile don't tell Google the same story, you may not be showing up in local search at all.

Before I design anything, I'll check your site's speed and your Google presence and tell you exactly what I find. It's free, with no obligation.

Already have a website?

If you're on Wix, Squarespace, WordPress, or anything else, I can tell you, in a five-minute conversation, exactly how it's performing on speed, mobile experience, and local search, and what's realistically fixable versus what the platform itself is capping you on. No pressure to rebuild; sometimes a fix is the right call.

See What I Offer

Web Design Services

Website design, migration, and hosting for small businesses in Oakville, Burlington, Milton, and across the Halton Region. A fast, easy-to-find site that's actually yours, not rented from a page builder.

I specialize in fast, static websites, the kind that don't need a database, a login page, or ongoing software updates to stay secure, including:

  • Brochure & marketing sites: A professional home online for a trade, service business, restaurant or shop
  • Personal & professional brand sites: For consultants, speakers, authors, and other solo professionals
  • Landing pages: A focused, single-page site built around one offer or campaign
  • Community & organization sites: Sports leagues, non-profits, and local groups
  • Blogs & content sites: Easy to write and publish new posts, without WordPress's plugin overhead

Need bookings, an online store, or user accounts? I can do that too. Let's talk, those get scoped individually.

How I Can Help

Local Visibility Check

Included with every project: I'll check how your business actually shows up in Google, including your Google Business Profile, and make sure your listing and your new website tell Google the same, consistent story about who you are and where you work.

Website Design & Launch

I'll design and launch a custom, mobile-friendly website for a fixed, one-time fee, not a Wix-style subscription you have to keep paying just to stay online.

Website Migration

Already have a site on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, or something else? I'll rebuild it on faster, more secure technology, moving your content over and making sure your old links still work, so you don't lose the search rankings you've already earned.

Hosting & Monthly Care

Once your site is live, I handle fast, secure hosting and keep your site's security certificate active, plus up to 30 minutes of content updates each month, for a simple monthly fee. Paired with every Website Design or Migration project. Not offered as standalone maintenance for an existing site.

Have something more involved in mind, like an online store or a booking system? Reach out and we'll figure out the right scope together.

Why Work With Me

When you need a website, you're really choosing between three options: build it yourself, hire it out to an agency or freelance marketplace, or work with me directly. Here's what actually differs.

Option 1: Do It Yourself

Wix, Squarespace, AI site generators

  • Who builds it

    You do, alone

  • Site ownership

    Locked into their platform forever

  • Security & maintenance

    Handled for you, a real advantage if you don't want to think about it. The tradeoff is everything else on this list.

  • Site speed

    Depends on the platform, often slow on mobile. Every extra second can cost you visitors before they see your offer

  • Local search diagnosis

    None

  • Support

    Self-serve help articles or chat support

  • Price

    Cheapest upfront, but takes your own time

Option 2: Hire It Out

Agencies, Fiverr, Upwork

  • Who builds it

    A rotating cast of staff or contractors, not always who you spoke to

  • Site ownership

    Varies, often unclear

  • Security & maintenance

    Needs ongoing maintenance to stay fast and secure

  • Site speed

    Varies, often slowed by plugins and page-builder bloat

  • Local search diagnosis

    Rarely included

  • Support

    Account managers and ticket queues, response times vary

  • Price

    Several times higher for comparable scope, often unclear up front

Option 3: Hire Me

Pixel Landing

  • Who builds it

    Me, directly. Every project, every time

  • Site ownership

    Yours outright: code and hosting live in accounts you own

  • Security & maintenance

    No database or login page for hackers to target. Secure by architecture, not maintenance

  • Site speed

    Fast by default: no bloat, built for speed from the ground up

  • Local search diagnosis

    Included: I check your Google Business Profile, not just your site

  • Support

    Direct access to me, no ticket queue

  • Price

    $1,500+: personal service without agency overhead

Three things most DIY sites get wrong

Accessibility (AODA)

Ontario businesses have legal accessibility requirements for websites. Every site I build follows accessible design practices by default, reducing your risk, not bolting it on as an afterthought later.

Your Google listing vs. your website

If your website and Google Business Profile don't match on name, address, hours, and service area, Google trusts your listing less in local search. I check this on every project; most DIY builds have never had anyone check it at all.

What Google (and AI) actually know about you

DIY builders can add basic structured data, but it's often generic and applied the same way to every page, missing details like your exact service area, hours, or a link back to your Google Business Profile. I build accurate, complete structured data specific to what your business actually is, which helps both search engines and newer AI-powered answers describe your business correctly instead of guessing.

A $1,500 site that loads fast and gets found is often cheaper over time than a $21/month builder that quietly loses you customers you never see leave.

Site speed isn't just a technical detail. It's one of the fastest ways to lose a customer who already found you. Visitors get impatient and leave before a slow page even finishes loading. Google factors speed into rankings too, but that's the smaller win.

How It Works

A simple, five-step process from first conversation to launch.

1

Discovery Call

I talk through your business, goals, and what you need your site to do.

2

Deposit & Draft

You pay a deposit and send over your content, images, and branding. Then I build a first draft of your site.

3

Review & Revise

You review the draft and get one round of revisions to fine-tune it.

4

Staging Preview

See the finished site on a private preview link before anything goes live.

5

Launch

Once you're happy and the balance is paid, I connect your domain, new or existing, and your site goes live.

Pricing

One fee to launch, one flat monthly fee to keep it running.

Every project includes both. There's no version of working with me that's just hosting and care with no site behind it.

A site that loads instantly. A Google listing that actually matches. Structured data that tells the whole story. Once it's live, there's nothing to maintain, nothing to renew, and nothing left guessing. Just a website doing its job.

Founder & Web Designer

From local sports leagues to landscaping companies to personal brands, I've built sites for a wide range of small businesses and organizations. Every Pixel Landing project is mine from the first call to launch, with no handoffs along the way. If you're local, I'm also happy to meet in person to talk through your project.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions clients ask most often.

How many rounds of revisions do I get?

One round of revisions is included in the design fee, so you can request changes before anything is finalized.

What's included in the Monthly Care Plan?

Hosting, your site's security certificate, automated uptime monitoring, automatic backups, and up to 30 minutes of content updates each month.

Do you back up my website?

Yes, automatically, at no extra cost. Every change is saved and reversible by default, unlike WordPress, which needs a separate backup plugin to get the same protection.

Do I need a privacy policy or cookie notice?

Yes. Any site with a contact form needs one, which is normal for small business sites. It's included in every project, so it's already handled for you.

What if I need more than 30 minutes of updates in a month?

Anything beyond 30 minutes is billed at a simple $50/hour rate, with no surprise charges.

Do I own my website?

Yes. Your site's code and hosting live in accounts that belong to you, not us, so you're never locked in.

What about my domain name?

Domain registration and renewal aren't included in the Care Plan, but it's available as an add-on, or you can manage it yourself.

Can I cancel the Monthly Care Plan?

Yes, anytime. There's no long-term contract. Since everything already lives in accounts you own, there's nothing to transfer if you cancel.

How long does a project take?

Most projects take 1-2 weeks from kickoff to launch, depending on scope and how quickly I get your content and feedback.

What tools do you build with?

Every site is hand-built using Astro, a modern web framework built for speed, paired with Tailwind CSS for design, and hosted on Cloudflare's global network, rather than a page-builder platform like WordPress, Wix, or Squarespace. You don't need to know what any of that means; what it means for you is a site that loads fast, is built to be found by search engines, and doesn't need constant software updates to stay secure.

Do you offer ongoing SEO services?

Every site is built with a strong technical foundation for search (fast loading, clean markup, and a proper sitemap), and I'll also check your Google Business Profile against your new site so your listing and address match, since for most local businesses that listing matters as much as the website itself. That gives you a real head start, but it isn't the same as ongoing SEO: content strategy, link building, and keyword campaigns aren't something I offer. If ranking for specific searches matters to you, that's typically separate, ongoing work beyond what any website build can guarantee on its own.

Do you build online stores or other dynamic sites?

My focus is fast, static sites: brochure sites, landing pages, and blogs. For things like bookings, an online store, or event ticket sales, I'll typically integrate a proven third-party tool (Calendly for scheduling, Shopify for a full store, Stripe for simpler cases like collecting event payments) rather than building it from scratch, which keeps things reliable and keeps costs down. Let's talk and we'll figure out the right fit for what you need.

Do you migrate sites from WordPress, Wix, or Squarespace?

Yes. I rebuild your existing site on the same fast, secure foundation as a new build, carry over your content, and set up redirects from your old page addresses so you don't lose the search rankings you've already earned. Migrations are priced slightly above a new build, since porting existing content is real, hands-on work.

Can I edit the website myself after it's built?

Not by default. There's no drag-and-drop editor, since that's part of what keeps the site fast, secure, and free of ongoing maintenance. If you want to change specific things yourself, like your homepage headline or a button's wording, I can add a simple self-edit tool as an add-on: you get a safe, form-based editor for just those pieces, not full access to the code.

Let's talk about your website
