Website protection
Yours is losing you clients, and you’re the last to know.
I build and host your site for one monthly fee, then re-test it every 90 days against four results you can check yourself. If it slips and I don’t fix it in 14 days, that month is free.
Free · your report usually the next business day · no sales follow-up · See a sample report (opens in a new tab)
Everything in one monthly fee, from $229.
No add-ons, no hourly invoices, no “that’s extra.”
Lost clients don’t show up anywhere, so nobody notices them.
Keep it at the bar, with the rebuild included.
How website maintenance works hereSame plans, same fee, build included.
Start at the StandardI tested 824 Ontario accounting firm websites. Three of 741 passed.
Websites for accounting firmsThe silent cost
A website that’s slow, hard to use, or invisible to search doesn’t warn you. It quietly sends prospects to someone else.
You’re already paying for it, in clients you never hear about.
I won’t invent statistics for you. Use your numbers: what’s a customer worth to your business, and how many do you think a site that’s slow, hard to use, and hard for search and AI to read costs you a month?
At your numbers, the clients you’re losing cost about 3.5 times the monthly fee.

Why it happens
Your site was correct the day it launched. Then the rules moved (Google’s speed thresholds, accessibility law, AI search), the site didn’t, and nobody was checking. That’s drift. It fails in three places you never look.
You view it on a desktop, on fast wifi, for the ten-thousandth time. They see it once, on a phone, in a hurry. When it’s slow or hard to use, they go to whoever loads first. Nothing tells you it happened.
Ads, your Google profile, referrals, years of word of mouth: all of it ends at the same page. If the page fails, you’ve paid for the visit and lost it at the final step, after everything else was already paid for.
Google now answers with AI, and it quotes the sites it can read. If your site doesn’t describe what you do in a way these tools can read, there’s no ranking to watch slip. You just don’t come up, and no report shows it.
The old answer is a $5,000 to $15,000 rebuild every five years, to catch up to a bar that moved without you. Most website maintenance plans don’t change that: they keep the software current and leave the site to drift.
On the service, catching up never stops and never costs extra. Rebuilds, upgrades and keeping pace with the Standard are part of the subscription, never an extra charge.
How it works
From first look to running service. Nothing goes live without your sign-off, and the first step is free.
Free. I measure your current site against the Standard’s four pillars (speed, accessibility, search and AI readability) and send you the results in plain language, usually by the next business day.
Request your reportI record a walkthrough of your report and send it over. If you want 15 minutes on a call to go through it, you’ve got it.
Design intake, a review round, your sign-off, then a launch with verified scores. Your look carries over while the engineering underneath changes. Target: two weeks from intake to live.
Re-verified every 90 days, content updates handled, anything that slips fixed. You stop thinking about your website.
Don’t have a website yet? Start at the Standard instead of catching up to it later. Same price, same service, build included.
How that worksThe Standard · Version 1.1 · changed 26 August 2026
The service needs a bar to hold your site to, so I published it. Four pillars, versioned and dated, measured with Google’s public tools so you can check any number yourself.
Loads fast on a phone, on real-world connections. Most visitors give up inside three seconds; a slow site is a closed door.
Readable text, forms that work without a mouse, and pages a screen reader can move through. The visitors who need this are the ones least likely to come back and try again.
Google sees complete, correct information on every page, so your listings earn the click instead of losing it.
When a prospect asks ChatGPT or Google’s AI for a business like yours, those tools have to be able to reach and read your site first. Many can’t, and nothing tells you.

Who’s doing the work
I’ve spent 22 years delivering websites, agency side and independently, for brands you’d recognize and businesses you wouldn’t.
The old way asked people to decide what their site should be, and commit to it, before they’d seen it live. And when builds ran long, the site was out of date by the time it launched.
I stopped treating a website as something you finish. What I sell now is protection: your site at a published standard, checked every 90 days, with me accountable for the result.
