RestartIT for Business

A website for your business, looked after by someone local.

We build, host and maintain websites for small local businesses. Everything is handled locally, so there's one number to call and no agency in another city to chase.

Built, hosted and maintained One local point of contact Paris, Brantford & area

01 What it is

Done for you, start to finish

Most small businesses don't want a website project. They want a website that exists, works, and stays working. So we handle the whole thing: we build it, we host it, and we keep looking after it once it's live.

You don't need to learn a website builder, buy hosting, or work out what a domain record is. You tell us about your business, we show you a site, and you say yes or tell us what to change.

  • One person, not a department

    The person who builds your site is the person who answers when something needs changing. No tickets, no account manager, no hold music.

  • Local, and staying that way

    We're based in Paris and work across Brantford and southern Ontario. If it's easier to sort something out in person, we can do that.

  • Plain language, same as always

    No jargon and no talking down to you. We'll explain what we're doing and why, in terms that actually mean something to your business.

02 What's included

Three ways to start

Every build is quoted for your business, so these are described by what's in them rather than by size. Flip a card over to see everything it covers. Not sure which fits? Describe what you need and we'll say which one makes sense.

TIER 01

Starter site

From $100

Everything on one page, for a business that needs to exist online and be easy to contact.

  • One page, written for you
  • Contact form and details
  • Works properly on phones

TIER 01

Starter site

Why it works

  • One page removes every excuse not to have a site at all
  • Your hours and service area answer the two things people actually ring to ask
  • Upgrades into a Standard site later without starting again

Technical

  • HTTPS certificate, set up and kept renewed
  • Page title, description and sitemap set for Google
  • Form submissions delivered to your inbox
  • Domain and DNS handled for you

Every site also needs somewhere to live. Pick the care plan or hosting on its own, below.

Our recommendation

TIER 02

Standard site

From $350

A page for each thing you do, so each one can be found on its own. The right fit for most businesses.

  • A page per service, plus a menu
  • Photo galleries and an about page
  • Your details on Google Maps

TIER 02

Standard site

Why it works

  • A page per service is the whole point: each one can rank on its own instead of competing
  • Someone searching for one specific job lands on that job, not your homepage
  • Room to add services later without a rebuild

Technical

  • Everything in the Starter site's technical list
  • Its own title and description per page, so each is indexed separately
  • Images sized and compressed so pages stay fast

Every site also needs somewhere to live. Pick the care plan or hosting on its own, below.

TIER 03

Extended site

From $750

For when the site has a job to do beyond explaining things, and has to fit how you actually work.

  • Booking or enquiry forms
  • More pages, and room to grow
  • Features scoped to your workflow

TIER 03

Extended site

Why it works

  • The forms are built around how you take work in, not the other way round
  • Enquiries arrive with the details you need already filled in
  • You get a walkthrough, so nothing about your own site is a mystery

Technical

  • Everything in the Standard site's technical list
  • Form handling with spam filtering and a reply-to that reaches the customer
  • Custom sections built to your requirements, quoted before they are built
  • Tested on real phones and screen readers before it goes live

The care plan

Recommended

$50 per month

A website isn't finished when it goes live. It has to stay online, stay secure and stay current, and the things that take a small business site down are almost never the design. The care plan takes all of that off your desk for one predictable monthly figure, and it means the person who built your site is still the person looking after it a year later.

Hosting

Your site stays online and loads quickly. Nothing for you to buy, renew or remember.

Security & updates

Certificates, updates and hardening kept current, so the site doesn't quietly drift into being a liability.

Backups

Regular backups kept safely off the server, so the site can be put back exactly as it was.

Monthly changes

Five change requests a month: new hours, prices, photos, staff, a bit of new text. You email, we do it.

Uptime watched

If the site goes down we find out, not you. No customer has to be the one who tells you.

Someone to actually call

A local number and a real person who already knows your site. Not a support queue in another timezone.

No contract and no lock-in. Cancel whenever you like and we'll hand over your site and your domain.

Ask about the care plan

Hosting only $10 / month

Somewhere for the site to live, and nothing else. For businesses that would rather handle their own updates and changes.

Worth understanding first: with no maintenance, nothing gets updated, backed up or watched. Security fixes aren't applied, nobody notices if the site goes down, and there is no backup to restore from if something breaks. Every change is yours to make.

03 How it works

You see it before you commit to it

There's no long discovery process and nothing to sign before you've seen anything. We build first, you look, and it only goes live once you're happy.

  1. See a demo

    Tell us about your business and we'll build a real, working version of your site for you to look at.

  2. Approve it

    Have a proper look and tell us what to change. We adjust it until it's right, not until a meter runs out.

  3. It goes live

    We handle the domain, the hosting and the technical setup, and your site goes live on the internet.

  4. We keep it maintained

    The care plan takes over: hosted, updated, backed up, and changed whenever you need it changed.

04 Portfolio

Sample builds you can click through

Rather than screenshots of somebody else's website, these are working demos of the same imaginary business built three ways, one per tier, so you can see exactly what the difference buys you. Every one is a real site you can open and use.

They are not examples of what a particular trade gets. Any business can start at any tier, and plenty of one-page sites belong to businesses far bigger than you'd guess.

The tier 01 demo: a single-page site for a fictional lawn and property care business.

Tier 01

A starter site, built out

Everything on one page: what you do, the areas you cover, your hours, and a form that reaches you. Shows how far a single page can go.

Open the demo
The tier 02 demo: a services index listing each service on its own page.

Tier 02

A page for each thing you do

The same business as a multi-page site, so every service can be found on its own in Google. Plus a gallery, an about page and the map listing.

Open the demo
The tier 03 demo: a booking form for a free site visit.

Tier 03

When the site has a job to do

Built around taking enquiries and bookings, with the forms wired into how the work actually runs rather than just landing in an inbox.

Open the demo

Thinking about a site? We'll build a real demo of your business at its own address before you commit to anything, and you can click through it on your own phone.

05 Get a quote

Tell us what you need

The more you can tell us about your business, the closer the first number will be. There is nothing to sign here, and we will not put you on a mailing list.

Only needed if you would like a reply by text.
How should we reply?
What you do, roughly how many pages you imagine, and anything the site has to handle.

Goes straight to our inbox. Used only to reply to you, never shared or added to a list.

Let's talk about your website

Tell us about your business and what you need the site to do. We'll come back to you with a quote and, if it's a fit, a demo you can actually look at.
