A real website for your business — built here in Pictou County by a person you can call, not an agency in another province. No monthly hostage fees to get started, no jargon, no surprises.
When somebody new moves to the county, or a customer loses your number, they Google you. If all they find is a Facebook page — or nothing — they call the next business on the list. A website is the one place on the internet you actually own: your hours, your services, your phone number, front and centre, working for you at 2 AM.
The same site from a Halifax or Toronto agency runs $2,500–$5,000, plus a retainer, plus a six-week wait. You're not paying for their office. You're paying a neighbour who builds sites every week.
Tell me what your business does and what you want the site to do. No forms in triplicate — a conversation.
Usually inside a week. You get a private link to look at the real thing, not a sketch.
Changes until it sounds like you. Nothing goes live without your say-so.
Site goes live, Google listing connected, and you start getting found. Final half of the payment is due at launch — not before it works.
These are live sites I built and run — go look at them:
My own business platform — 31 online tools with paid memberships.
A full publishing blog with its own admin system.
A complete game platform — accounts, lobbies, seven games.
A members-only community site with profiles and messaging.
Thirty seconds. Tell me who you are and how to reach you — I'll call you back myself, usually the same day. Prefer to talk now? 782-440-2955 or sales@macleodservices.ca.
Yes. Your domain, your site, your content. If you ever want to move it or have someone else run it, I'll hand over everything. The care plan is a convenience, not a lock-in.
Perfect — we build on it. If you don't have one, I'll help you register the right one in your name (about $20/year, paid to the registrar, not to me).
Most sites are live in about a week from our first call, as long as I can get your photos and details from you. Bigger sites (online booking, lots of pages) get a straight timeline before you pay anything.
Your logo if you have one, a few photos of your work, your hours and services, and 15 minutes on the phone. That's it — I write the words.
No office, no sales team, no account managers. One person, local, with the build process down to a system. You pay for the site, not the overhead.
