We're building 5 free websites for
local Muskoka businesses
A real, custom-built website — designed and coded at no cost, and yours to keep. We're an Orillia-based studio growing our local portfolio, and we'd rather build something great for five real businesses than talk about it.
A real custom site, not a template
Designed and coded around your business — the same build we normally charge $500–$1,200 for.
Built to be found on Google
Local SEO foundations so Muskoka and Simcoe County customers actually turn up on your page.
Fast on every phone
Most local searches happen on mobile. Your site will load in seconds and look right at any size.
You own it outright
Your website, your domain, host it wherever you like. No lock-in, no contract, no hostage situation.
What you get — and what it costs
We'd rather be blunt about this up front than waste your time on a call.
Included, at no charge
- Custom multi-page website, designed around your business
- Hand-coded build — no page-builder bloat, no templates
- Mobile, tablet and desktop layouts
- Local SEO foundations and Google setup
- Contact form wired straight to your inbox
- Copywriting for every page
- Launch, testing and full handover of the files
So what's the catch?
Hosting is optional. Your site has to live somewhere. You're welcome to host it wherever you like — or stay with us at a discounted $10/month for these five builds, which covers hosting, security updates, backups and small content edits. Either way the build is free.
We'd like a testimonial. If you're happy with the result, we ask for an honest review and permission to show your site in our portfolio. That's the whole reason we're doing this.
Only 5 spots. We build these properly, which takes real hours. Once the five are claimed, applications close.
Honest answer: we want the portfolio.
We're a small Orillia-based studio. The fastest way to earn work in a place like Muskoka isn't ads — it's five local businesses pointing at their website and saying "they built that." Five great sites is worth more to us than five small invoices, so we're trading the build cost for the proof.
Real, finished sites
Not mockups or demos. Live websites with your content, on your domain, doing real work for your business.
Same standard as paid work
The exact process our paying clients get — discovery, design, build, launch. Free doesn't mean rushed.
Local, in person if you like
Based in Orillia, working across Muskoka and Simcoe County. You can call a person who answers.
You're a good fit if…
We're picking five businesses we can genuinely help — and that we'd be proud to show off.
You're local
Operating in Muskoka, Orillia, Simcoe County or the surrounding area.
You have no site — or a bad one
Trades, contractors, shops, services, tourism. The bigger the jump, the better the story.
You'll reply to emails
We need photos, details and a bit of your time. Fast projects need responsive people.
You'll say so if you like it
An honest review and permission to feature the finished site — that's the trade.

The questions everyone asks
The design and build are genuinely free — that's normally $500 to $1,200. There's no upsell waiting at the end and nothing to sign. Hosting is the only thing that costs money, and it's optional: stay with us at a discounted $10/month for these five builds, or take the files and host it anywhere you like.
Portfolio work and local word of mouth. We're building a book of real Muskoka businesses we can point new clients at. If the site earns you customers, you'll tell people — that's worth more to us than the build fee.
Yes. It's your site on your domain, and we hand over the files. If you'd rather host it yourself or move it later, that's completely fine — there's no contract and no cancellation fee.
No, it's optional. If you do want us to handle it, $10/month covers hosting, SSL, security updates, backups and small content edits — a discount on our usual $30/month, held for these five builds. If you'd rather host elsewhere, we'll hand over the files and help you get set up.
Most sites go live 7 to 14 days after we have your content. The main thing that slows a project down is waiting on photos and business details, so the faster you send those, the faster you launch.
You see a live preview before anything goes public, and we'll revise it. If you still don't want it, you walk away owing nothing. We'd rather lose the time than launch something you're not proud of.
Applications close. If you applied and didn't make the five, we'll tell you — and we'll usually offer something reasonable rather than leaving you with nothing. Our regular pricing starts at $500.
Five businesses are going to get a free website.
It takes three minutes to put your name in. Worst case, you get an honest opinion about your current site.
