Web design and management you can plant your feet on.
I build websites for small businesses across Southern Ontario that don't have one yet — and keep them current after launch, so getting online isn't a project you have to think about twice.
Find your foothold online.
Everything a small business needs to have a real home online
Website design & build
A custom homepage built around your business — services, photos, contact info, and a way for people to reach you, live within about a week.
From $600
Ongoing site management
Monthly plans that keep your site current — new photos, updated hours or pricing, seasonal changes — without you touching a line of code.
From $25/mo
Local search setup
Your Google Business Profile connected and optimized so people searching for what you do in your area actually find you.
Included with every build
Four steps from no website to a site that works for you
A quick call
Tell me about your business and what you want a site to do for you. No jargon, no pressure.
A free preview
I build a working homepage before you commit to anything, so you're seeing the real thing, not a promise.
Your feedback, built in
We go back and forth until it looks and reads exactly like your business — not a template with your name on it.
Launch, then keep climbing
Your site goes live on your own domain. From there, a simple monthly plan keeps it current as your business grows.
Book your free consultation
Pick a time that works for you — no cost, no commitment, just a conversation about your business.

Three spots open for founding clients
The first three businesses I build a site for get it at a discounted founding-client rate, and get featured right here as real examples of what Foothold Sites can do. This gallery fills in as those sites go live.
A local builder, not a call centre
I'm Grady, the founder of Foothold Sites, based in Ajax and working with small businesses across Southern Ontario who've been putting off getting a website. You'll work directly with me from start to finish — from our first call, through your free preview, to the day your site goes live.
I'm currently accepting founding clients: the first few businesses I work with receive their site at a discounted founding-client rate, in exchange for feedback and an introduction to other local business owners who could use one too.
I'm genuinely excited to play even a small part in your business's success story.
Frequently asked questions
A Google Business Profile or Facebook page helps, but a website is the one place fully under your control — no algorithm changes, no platform fees, and it's the first thing most people check before deciding to call or visit.
A launch website starts from $600, with ongoing management plans starting from $25 a month if you want it kept current. There's no cost to see a free preview before you commit to anything.
Most sites go from first call to live on your own domain within about a week, including a free preview and a round of feedback before launch.
It's entirely optional. If you'd rather have full control, the domain and hosting can be handed over to you directly with no ongoing obligation.
Yes — Foothold Sites is based in Ajax, Ontario, and works with small businesses across Southern Ontario.
That's normal and not a blocker — a free preview can be built with placeholder content first, then updated with real photos once you have them.
