01 / The Problem

Detroit Is Rebuilding. Your Website Should Lead the Way.

Metro Detroit's business renaissance is real — but too many companies are showing up to that growth with a website that signals the opposite. The same fixable problems cost businesses across Southeast Michigan thousands in lost leads every month:

  • Slow loading times that lose visitors before the page even opens
  • Outdated design that can't compete in Metro Detroit's growing digital market
  • Poor mobile experience costing you over half your traffic
  • Weak calls-to-action that fail to convert visitors into leads
  • No SEO foundation — invisible on Google while Detroit competitors rank above you

We fix all of this — and build the site your Detroit business actually deserves.

07 / FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We're based in Windsor, Ontario — just minutes from Detroit across the Ambassador Bridge — and we regularly work with Metro Detroit businesses. We operate fully remotely, so whether you're in downtown Detroit, Dearborn, Ann Arbor, or anywhere in Southeast Michigan, working with us is seamless. Same timezone, real conversations, no travel hassle.
We invoice in Canadian dollars and accept USD at the current exchange rate, or we can invoice in USD directly. Most US clients find our pricing highly competitive given the exchange rate. Payment is handled via bank transfer or credit card — no complexity, no delays.
A smaller corporate or service business website typically ranges from $5,000–$15,000 USD. Mid-size, conversion-focused sites range from $15,000–$40,000 USD. Fully custom web applications or enterprise platforms start at $40,000+ USD. Every project includes a detailed cost breakdown during discovery so there are never surprises.
Yes. Every site we build includes technical SEO as a baseline: proper URL structure, metadata, schema markup, Core Web Vitals optimization, and sitemap submission. For businesses that want to actively pursue organic rankings in Metro Detroit's market, we also offer ongoing SEO strategy and content services targeted at Michigan search intent.
Most projects run 4–8 weeks from discovery to launch. Larger builds — complex dashboards, custom integrations, or multi-location platforms — typically require 8–16 weeks. We work async-first, which means Detroit clients don't experience delays waiting for in-person meetings — everything moves faster.
We've built for automotive suppliers, professional services firms, healthcare providers, tech startups, restaurants, real estate agencies, and non-profits. Metro Detroit's diverse economy maps closely to our industry experience. If you're in manufacturing, logistics, or trades, we've built for those sectors too.
Yes to both. For content-driven businesses that need editorial flexibility, we build premium WordPress sites. For eCommerce, we work in Shopify and custom stacks depending on your complexity and growth goals. We recommend the right platform based on your business needs, not on what's easiest for us to build.
Yes. We offer managed maintenance plans covering updates, security patches, uptime monitoring, backups, and content updates. Time zones are not an issue — we're Eastern Time, same as Detroit.
