Do you know the difference between Downtown Welland and North Welland?

I do, and it's the first thing I ask about when building here. Two BIAs, two identities, and a site that leaves it ambiguous sends a visitor walking the wrong direction from where they parked.

What does a website cost?

There are three sizes. Starter runs $1,800, Grow runs $3,200, and Complete runs $5,500, with the full breakdown on the home page.

Website design for Welland businesses

Welland has two downtowns and a canal running through the middle of both of them, so "where are you" is the first thing your website needs to answer.

Welland runs two commercial strips, each with its own BIA: Downtown Welland, and North Welland across the water. A customer searching for you has to guess which side you're on, and half of them will guess wrong, unless the site clears it up in the first screenful.

The canal is part of the pitch, even if you don't sell paddles

The Welland International Flatwater Centre, Concerts on the Canal, and the Welland Farmer's Market are the things Welland residents actually organize their summer around. Any business here can borrow that identity, canal-adjacent or otherwise, just in how the site talks about the town. A generic template site, dropped in from anywhere, reads as exactly that to a local: from somewhere else.

Starter fits most Welland shops

A clear front door, with the right side of the canal named on it, covers what most businesses here actually need. Starter is that front door. Grow makes sense once you're serving both sides, or you want a page for every event season the town runs on.

A local resource worth knowing

The Welland/Pelham Chamber of Commerce, alongside the Downtown Welland BIA, the North Welland BIA, and the city's economic development office, run the myWelland.com community platform together. It's a useful place to plug into, whether or not you ever hire me. Further down the canal, the Port Colborne page covers a similar build for that market.

Every size is yours, full stop: the domain, the hosting account, and every file, registered in your name from day one. See the full breakdown of what each size includes, from a $1,800 starter site to a $5,500 build with booking or a store.
