Be the result they find.

These are just some of the searches that might fill a Muskoka calendar. A page for each town you serve puts your business in front of as many eyes as possible.

What we build around

A Muskoka website has a unique purpose.

A generic template won’t do it. Here’s what we build around.

01

Business swings with the seasons

Summer peaks, fall colour, quiet winters. Your site has to sell hard when it counts and stay easy to update all year.

02

People plan before they arrive

Visitors search for places to stay, eat and play weeks ahead, often from far away. Being found in the right town matters.

03

Word of mouth needs a home online

Referrals are the lifeblood of a small community. A strong site turns “someone told me about you” into a booking.

04

Make the scenery part of the product

Muskoka sells on how it looks. We show your business with full-quality photography, not compressed thumbnails.

The look

Websites as good-looking as the scenery.

Stunning visuals, thoughtful layouts and colours pulled from the landscape. We show your business the way people picture the region.

Questions

Muskoka web design questions.

Do you work with businesses outside the GTA?

Yes. We work with local businesses across Ontario, and everywhere else, by video call and email. You don’t need to be near us, and we build every site with your local customers in mind.

What is a local page, and do Muskoka businesses need one?

A local page targets people searching in a specific town or area, like “cottage rentals near Bracebridge”, with content written for that place. Because so many Muskoka customers plan their trips online before they arrive, a page for each town you serve can put you in front of them.

Can you help with our Google Business Profile?

Local visibility is part of what we do. Alongside your local pages we can guide you through a complete Google Business Profile and consistent listings. Here’s how local visibility works.

Our business is seasonal. Can the site keep up?

That’s the idea. We build sites where opening dates, seasonal hours, specials and availability are quick to change yourself, so the site always reflects the season you’re in.

How much does it cost?

Most Muskoka businesses fit our Basic ($1,500) or Startup ($3,000) package. Startup includes local search pages. Payment plans are available, so setup fees can be split into monthly payments.

Can you write the copy and use our own photography?

Yes to both. We can write the copy and design around the photos you already have. If you need a photo shoot, costs depend on availability and location, and we’ll tell you up front.
