Websites · Photos · Video — one package, one person
A professional website for your business — with the photos and video done for you.
Most local businesses don't need a big agency. They need a fast, bilingual website that looks like the quality of their work — with real photos, not stock pictures. That's what I build, here in Embrun, for Prescott-Russell and east Ottawa.
Start where you are
Which one sounds like you?
“I need a proper website — without an agency bill.”
You're a realtor, a trade, a clinic, or you have one property to lease or sell. You may be on Facebook only, or paying monthly for an old site that's hard to update and only in one language.
- Fixed price, known before we start — from $1,495
- Photos of your business, your work, your property
- Updates handled for you on a care plan — you never log into a builder
“We need more — more pages, more locations, more proof.”
You have a team, several services or locations, or a property portfolio. You need a site that can grow: more pages, video, monthly numbers you can actually read, and someone accountable for keeping it current.
- Premium build with drone + video tour, or a custom quote
- Care Plus: up to 10 updates a month, priority turnaround
- A plain-language monthly report — visitors, calls, inquiries
What's included
Everything your website needs, from one person
Bilingual websites
A fast, modern site in English and a full French version — written for real people, not run through a translation widget. Works on phones, tablets and computers.
Professional photography
I'm a photographer first. Your site uses real photos of your business, your team, your listings and your work — bright, clean and properly edited.
Drone & video tours
Aerial photos and a 60–90 second video tour that lets people walk through a property or see your work before they ever call. Where flying is legally and safely possible.
Google Business Profile
Your Google listing — the one that shows up on Maps and in “near me” searches — checked and pointed at your new site, with your services and photos in place.
Search basics, done right
Page titles, descriptions, headings and a sitemap submitted to Google — plus the clean structure that helps AI search tools understand your business. No gimmicks, no ranking promises.
Monthly reporting
Every care-plan client gets a plain-language monthly report: visitors, top pages, calls and form inquiries. See the sample below — no jargon, no 40-page PDF.
Before / After — samples
Drag the handle. This is the difference good media makes.
Both sliders below are samples made to show the effect — they are not before-and-after results from a client project.
1 · Photo editing — sample
Sample The same photo, shown dull, dark and yellow on the left — the way an unedited listing photo often looks — and bright with corrected colour on the right. This is a filtered sample of one of Dan's own photos, not a client's before/after.
2 · Website design — sample
Sample A made-up “dated website” panel versus a clean modern layout — a design sample showing the style of rebuild included in every package, not a screenshot of a client's old site.
Data tracking
Know what your website is doing — every month, in plain language
Every care-plan client receives a monthly report like the one below, built from Google Analytics and Google Search Console. No jargon, no vanity numbers — what people visited, what they searched, and how many called or sent an inquiry.
Sample report Your Business — Monthly Report · Example month · All numbers below are sample numbers for illustration.
Most-visited pages (sample)
| Home | 512 |
| Services | 268 |
| Photos / Gallery | 191 |
| Contact | 96 |
How people found you on Google (sample)
| “electrician wendover” | 148 |
| “house for rent rockland” | 121 |
| “realtor embrun” | 87 |
| “commercial space plantagenet” | 54 |
Sample only — the layout and format are real; the business name and every number are examples. Your report shows your real numbers, with a short note from Dan on what changed and what to do next.
You see the real numbers
Tracking is set up on your site from day one — Analytics and Search Console, on your own accounts wherever possible.
Explained like a person
“More people found your services page after we added the French version” beats a chart you can't read. That's the report you get.
It guides the updates
Your care-plan updates go where the numbers say people are looking. That's how a small site keeps getting better instead of going stale.

Questions
Asked by local businesses, answered straight
I already have a website. Why rebuild it?
If yours is slow on phones, only in one language, hard to update, or doesn't show your current work, it's quietly costing you calls. A rebuild keeps your domain and your Google presence, replaces the dated design, and puts updates on a care plan so it stops going stale. If your current site is genuinely fine, I'll tell you — the 15-minute call is free either way.
I have a Facebook page. Isn't that enough?
Facebook is rented ground: people have to be on Facebook, logged in, and lucky enough to be shown your post. Your website is yours — it shows up on Google and in AI search answers, works for everyone, and puts your services, photos and phone number in one place that you control. Most clients keep their Facebook page and let the website do the heavy lifting.
How long does a build take?
10–14 days from deposit and a completed intake form. The clock pauses if we're waiting on you for content, photos access or feedback — your launch moves, it doesn't get rushed. I build a maximum of two sites a month.
Is the French version a real translation?
Yes. Every page is written in French as its own version — not a Google Translate button. In Prescott-Russell, your French-speaking clients can tell the difference immediately.
What do you need from me?
Surprisingly little: your logo if you have one, your services and prices, any photos you already have, and access to your domain account (I'll walk you through it). A short intake form and one 15-minute call cover most of it. If writing isn't your thing, copywriting from your bullet points is an add-on.
Do I own my website and domain?
Yes. The domain is registered in your name, and on full payment the site files are yours. If you ever cancel a care plan, you keep your site — I'll hand over the files and explain your options in plain language.
What does the care plan actually cover — and not cover?
It covers hosting management, small content updates (text, photos, prices, hours, listings), a monthly plain-language report and backups. It doesn't cover redesigns, new sections, advertising or social media posting — those are quoted separately first, never added to your bill as a surprise.
Can you guarantee I'll rank #1 on Google or get more leads?
No — and be careful with anyone who does. What I guarantee is the work: a fast bilingual site, real photos, correct search setup, and honest monthly numbers so you can see exactly what your site is doing. That's what gives a local business its best shot, and you'll be able to verify it yourself every month.
