How We Help

Never think about a website again

Does your web designer listen to you and your business goals? Or were you just handed a "website". Did they continually test and optimize, or treat it as a one-off checklist item? Are they knowledgeable and responsive, or give you vague answers and disappear for months on end? We handle everything website and do it well, so you can focus on running your business without the headaches. You send us the content. We take care of the rest.

    Website Page Speed

    If your website takes longer than 3 seconds to load, you could lose up to 50% of your web traffic. Customers hate waiting. The sites we build load in under 2 seconds, ensuring speed is never the reason they leave.

What We Offer

Professional websites with unlimited edits and support

We do $0 down for a standard 5-page small business website. If you have more requirements then we have to do custom pricing based on the scope of work, number of additional pages, and time involved. For the standard 5-page website there is a 12-month minimum contract which includes design, development, hosting, unlimited edits, 24/7 support, and lifetime updates.

  • 100% Secure

    The websites we build are completely static so they are far more difficult to hack than a standard WordPress website. Giving you complete peace of mind.

  • Unique Design

    Everything is done in-house. Your website will not be some generic template that was handed out to 50 other business owners.

  • 90-100 Pagespeed

    The websites we create have zero extra bloat, allowing us to score highly on Google Core Web Vitals. This is important for SEO and user engagement metrics.

  • WCAG Compliant

    We don't put your business at risk from accessibility lawsuits. We comply with at minimum WCAG 2.0 and aim to meet WCAG 2.2 standards.

  • SEO Ready

    Our websites come ready with technical SEO and some on-page SEO. It's not an afterthought. If you have an SEO provider, we can work directly with them, so you can remain hands-free.

  • 100% Canadian

    No overseas support. Everything stays local, no call centers, bots, or phone trees. When you call, you reach me directly, the owner and developer.

    Tibben Masonry

    tibben masonry website

    Tibben Masonry is a brick and stone masonry contractor based in Iroquois, Ontario.

    Motion Church is a non-profit. Their old website no longer reflected their mission, and community members often had to search through Facebook posts to find important information. We created a website that serves as a central hub for events, registrations, and everything happening at the church.

our process

Steps To Create Your Site

After the contract is signed we send a small questionnaire about your website and what you offer, then we expand on that content and write the entire site’s content for you, create the design, get approval, then we build.

  1. Step 1

    Book a call

    We need to know what you are looking to achieve. If we’re not the best fit, we’ll refer you to someone who is.

  2. Step 2

    Get Requirements

    Complete the questionnaire, quick market research on local competitors, begin writing copy, and gather all assets. (logos, trademarks, etc.)

  3. Step 3

    Begin Design

    What’s your brand? We want the site to feel authentic to your business. From there, we create UI/UX mockups and refine them through revisions as needed.

  4. Step 4

    Approve Design

    Once everything looks good, you’ll approve the design and finalize any content or last-minute changes before we begin website construction.

  5. Step 5

    Begin Development

    No action is needed on your end. We will keep you updated on the progress made, and ask if we require anything from you.

  6. Step 6

    quality assurance

    We test every page to ensure accessibility compliance, hitting at minimum WCAG 2.0 AA while aiming toward WCAG 2.2 standards.

  7. Step 7

    prepare hosting

    Grant DNS access or purchase a new domain. We deploy your site on fast, CDN-backed hosting and get you ready for launch.

  8. Step 8

Just because you’re small doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have a great website.

  • Joe Boisvert Pastor of Motion Church

    Aaron at Locks Web Solutions worked with us at our own pace, was very patient as we worked out design and content details, and was always pleasant and professional. He demonstrates a firm expertise in web design and development, and patiently brought our weak and ancient website into the 21st century!! During the design process, he was available anytime we needed him, and since the site has launched, he's been available for any edits, special requests and general consultation. We highly recommend Locks Web Solutions for any of your website needs!

  • Kyle Weeger Owner of Kys Mobile Wash

    Outstanding Web Design Service! We had our business website designed by Locks Web Solutions, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. They were professional, responsive, and full of great ideas. The finished site looks fantastic, functions perfectly, and is already attracting visitors. Highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a high-quality, modern website.

  • Greg Tibben Owner of Tibben Masonry

    Aaron did a great job on our website. Just one month after launch, with no promotion, we received our first lead from the site. We’re also now ranking for keywords beyond just “Tibben Masonry,” which has been a huge improvement for local search. Highly recommend Locks Web Solutions to anyone who needs a website.
