DeskDev Sites
DeskDev designs, builds, and runs your site. You keep services, photos, menus, and hours up to date. One accountable operator. Fixed scope. No DIY website builder.
Named packages
Fixed-scope configurations, not from-scratch agency builds.
Landing, Brochure, Service Pro, Showcase, Firm, Venue, and Food Service — plus Custom.
The person who scopes the work builds it and answers for it.
Solutions match your trade to a recommended package and Care intensity.
Who it's for
Ontario operators whose customers search, compare, and call — and who need the site to carry its share of that work.
DeskDev Sites is designed around the service businesses we know best: home and property services, construction and the licensed trades, equine operations, and the local service businesses that depend on search and referrals. Solutions map those sectors to a named package.
Businesses that win seasonal and recurring work by being the obvious local call.
Licensed operators whose customers compare credentials, proof of work, and response time.
Boarding, training, and equine service operators whose clients research carefully before they call.
Any Ontario service business that depends on local search, referrals, and a phone that rings.
What's included
The essentials are never add-ons. They come with every package. Your Care plan and any extras stack on top.
Fast pages laid out for how customers actually shop for a contractor, a property service, or a barn — on a phone, between other things.
Structured forms that ask the questions you need answered before you quote. Portal leads inbox is Service Pro+ only — not every forms package.
Track progress, upload assets, and preview. Manage leads in the portal on Service Pro+.
Managed hosting and analytics from day one, with the site monitored as part of your care plan.
Every care plan includes a defined edit allowance so seasonal changes, new photos, and price updates never stall.
You review the complete site on a private staging link and confirm every claim about your business before it goes live.
Packages
Most trades start with Service Pro — the package built for quotes and service areas. A quick consultation confirms the fit, including Landing or Brochure when that’s all you need.

Process
Every package is a fixed-scope configuration, not a from-scratch agency build. Content and setup are the work — so the clock runs from a complete intake, and the timeline stays honest.
You tell us your trade, your service area, and what the site needs to do. We ask the questions that decide scope — and say so plainly if the fit isn't there.
You receiveA named package + Care recommendation
A written proposal with your package, Care plan, any add-ons, timeline, and price. You know the whole cost before you commit to anything.
You receiveFixed-price proposal
A short, structured intake collects services, service areas, licensing, photos, and proof. Content and setup are the work, so this is where the clock starts.
You receiveComplete content and setup brief
We produce the site on our production system while you keep working. You review everything on a private staging link and confirm each fact before anything goes live.
You receiveApproved staging site
The site goes live and your Care plan begins the same day: hosting, monitoring, your defined edit allowance, and the visibility basics your Care intensity includes.
You receiveLive site and active Care plan
Lead system
A website is the visible part. The lead system is what makes it pay for itself.
Click-to-call and structured quote forms on the pages a customer is likely to land on. A Calendly-class booking link is a paid add-on — not a vague CRM claim.
Every enquiry reaches your phone. Service Pro+ includes a leads inbox in the Client portal. Named webhooks only when explicitly sold.
Named services, service areas, proof of work, and review proof when the Reviews starter add-on is in play — the things that turn a comparison into a call.
Visibility basics (GA4, Search Console, honest empty states) ride inside Care. Deeper Visibility is a paid add-on. No guaranteed rankings.
Every package is a fixed-scope configuration, not a from-scratch agency build. Content and setup are the work — so the timeline stays honest.
No. The consultation exists to work that out. Tell us your trade, service area, and goals, and we recommend the named package and Care intensity that fit — including Landing or Brochure when Service Pro would be more than you need.
A short structured intake: services, service areas, licensing, photos, and any proof of work you want shown. You confirm the facts before anything goes live — we never invent claims about your business.
Your monthly Care plan starts on launch day (6-month minimum). Each Care intensity includes a defined edit allowance, hosting, and visibility basics — never “unlimited changes.” Local, Reviews, deeper Visibility, Email, and Booking are paid add-ons.
50% to begin, 40% at staging approval, 10% at launch. Ad spend, photography, and e-commerce are quoted separately.
No. Every engagement begins with a consultation and a written proposal. You fill Site Element slots in the client portal — you don’t restyle the site, and there is no DIY website builder.
Yes. We start with Ontario service businesses in home, property, trades, equine, and local services, and we take engagements across the province. If the fit is real, we’ll say so; if it isn’t, we’ll say that too.
Tell us your trade, your service area, and how you win work. We reply with a written proposal — usually within two business days. No pushy sales sequence.
