Web design & build · Based in Ontario, serving Canada-wide
Deep Cortex Designs builds fast, mobile-ready websites for shops, trades, clinics, and service businesses — one project at a time, with the person who builds it as your only point of contact. Based in Ontario, working with clients everywhere by video call.
What's included
No à la carte upsells — every project bundles the pieces that make a site actually work for a small business.
Built around your business, not a recycled template — mobile-first from the start.
On-page basics and a Google Business Profile configured so you show up in search, wherever your customers are looking.
Make it easy for visitors to actually reach you — calls, bookings, or quote requests.
Optional monthly plan covers hosting, updates, and small edits after launch.
Not a writer? I'll help shape your service pages and about copy, included in scope.
A short walkthrough so you can make simple edits yourself after the site goes live.
Pricing
No agency-speak, no hidden fees — a flat price or a clear written quote before any work begins, based on what your business actually needs.
For businesses with no site, or one that hasn't been touched in years.
⚡ Limited-time: delivered in as little as 48 hours.
For businesses ready to turn their website into a booking hub — make it easy for customers to check availability and book directly.
For businesses that need something beyond a standard package — built around your specific goals.
Every project can add a monthly care plan ($49–$99/mo) for hosting, updates, and small edits after launch. *Available features depend on the booking and payment platforms selected.
Process
A short conversation by video call or phone about your business, your customers, and what the site needs to do for you.
A clear, written price and timeline before anything is built — no surprise invoices later.
You review drafts at key checkpoints, not just once at the end. Typical builds run 4–8 weeks.
Your site goes live, connected to your domain and Google Business Profile, with a short walkthrough of how to make simple edits.
A monthly plan covers hosting, updates, and small content changes so the site keeps working long after launch.
Why work with an independent solo studio
You work directly with the person building your site — video calls and real conversations, not a ticket number in someone else's queue.
The person who designs your site is the same person who builds it, launches it, and answers your emails after.
Fixed, transparent pricing designed for independent businesses, not enterprise retainers.
About the founder
After 30 years in technology consulting, working with Fortune 500 companies across Canada and the United States, I’ve learned what makes technology projects succeed — and what gets in the way.
I’ve seen firsthand how great ideas can become slowed down by layers of approvals, complicated processes, unclear accountability, and escalating costs. I created Deep Cortex Designs to offer small businesses a different experience.
My approach is simple: direct communication, clear scope, transparent pricing, and personal accountability from the first conversation through to launch. When you work with Deep Cortex Designs, you work directly with the person designing and building your website — no layers of account managers, no unnecessary complexity, and no getting lost in the process.
I bring the standards and experience of enterprise technology consulting to small-business web design, while keeping the process practical, personal, and efficient.
The goal isn't simply to build a website. It's to create a professional online presence that helps your business build credibility, connect with customers, and grow.
Based in the Niagara Region, Ontario, Deep Cortex Designs works virtually with businesses across Canada — one conversation, one project, and one successful launch at a time.
Where I work
Deep Cortex Designs is rooted in the Niagara Region, Ontario, but runs entirely by video call, email, and message — from discovery through design reviews to launch, wherever you're based.
Founding client offer
As a new studio, my first few 2026 projects are priced to reflect that: reduced rates for Starter and Growth builds in exchange for a case study and an honest review once your site is live.
