What you get
- A custom design, not a template. Built around your business, your photos and the questions your customers ask.
- Found on Google and Maps. A page for each service and area you cover, clear business details, structured data and a properly set-up Google Business Profile.
- Ready for AI answers. Plain-answer pages that assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity can read and quote, because most AI crawlers don’t run JavaScript.
- Built to bring in work. Tap-to-call and text buttons, online booking, quote requests and estimate calculators where they help.
- Fast on phones. Most of your customers will see your site on a phone first, so we design and test for phones first.
- Looked after. Hosting, security, backups, 24/7 automated monitoring and changes by phone or text, on a care plan from $49 a month.
- Yours. Your domain in your name, and the site is yours once it’s paid for.
Web designer or web developer? Both.
Some Ottawa businesses hire a designer for the look, a developer for the code, someone else for SEO and a fourth company for hosting. With Pinlight it’s one studio and one phone number: we design it, build it, set up search and booking, host it and keep it running.
Who we build for
Local businesses where the website’s job is to make the phone ring or the calendar fill up:
- Trades and home services: roofers, plumbers, electricians, HVAC, landscapers, cleaners. See the roofing concept site.
- Clinics: dental, physio, chiro, massage, vets. See the dental clinic concept site.
- Salons and beauty: hair, nails, lashes, barbers. See the salon concept site.
- Restaurants and cafés: menus, hours and reservations up front. See the restaurant concept site.

Across Ottawa, and across Canada
We work with businesses all over Ottawa, including Centretown, the Glebe, Westboro, Kanata, Orléans, Barrhaven, Nepean, Stittsville, Gloucester, Vanier and Manotick, and with local businesses anywhere in Canada by phone and video. Being local helps: same time zone, and a 613 number that a person answers.
How it works
- A free 15-minute call. What you do, who your customers are, what’s not working now.
- A plan and a price in writing. Pages, features, the full price and a launch date, before any work starts.
- Design and build on a private preview link. You see it on your own phone and ask for changes.
- Launch. On your domain, with redirects from any old pages and your email left untouched.
- Care. We keep it fast, secure and up to date, and make changes when you call or text.
Questions Ottawa owners ask
How much does a website cost in Ottawa?
It depends on how many pages you need and what the site has to do. We quote every build in writing after a free call, so you know the full price before any work starts. After launch, hosting, security and changes are a separate monthly care plan, from $49 a month plus tax. For a wider view, read what a website costs in Canada.
How fast can I get a website?
The biggest factor is how quickly your details and photos are ready. We give you a launch date in writing before we start. If you need to be online quickly, a focused one-page site is the fastest route, and it can grow later. Here’s how to get online fast.
Will my website show up on Google?
Nobody honest can promise first place. What we can do is build everything Google and AI assistants look for: fast pages, clear services and areas, structured data, a strong Google Business Profile and a steady flow of real reviews. More in our small-business SEO guide.
Can you redesign my current site and keep my domain and email?
Yes. We build the new site on a private preview address, then switch it over on your existing domain without touching your email, with redirects from your old pages so you don’t lose your rankings. Not sure how your current site is doing? Run the free website check.
Who owns the website?
You do. Your domain is registered in your name and the site is yours once the build is paid for. If you ever leave, you get your files and accounts.
