Capabilities
What DeskDev does
Start with a website that does its job. Add practical help with local listings, professional email or booking when it solves a real problem for your business.
One operator. The whole web presence.
Design, build, copy, hosting and agreed ongoing care are handled by the same person. Your proposal defines the pages, responsibilities, review rounds and launch date before work begins.
Design and build
Named packages on modern infrastructure, laid out for how customers actually shop for a contractor, a property service, or a barn.
Copy and local search
Service and service-area pages written to convert, plus Google Business Profile cleanup so the phone rings from the map as well as the site.
Lead systems
Clear calls to action, structured enquiries, and an agreed lead handoff tested before launch. Booking setup is available when it belongs in the scope.
Care and visibility
Hosting, monitoring, a defined monthly edit allowance, and visibility basics inside Care Essential, Active, or Intensive.
Capabilities, end to end
Every capability below is delivered inside a named DeskDev Sites package — there is no à-la-carte menu to assemble and nothing to configure yourself.
- Named website packagesLanding, Brochure, Service Pro, Showcase, Firm, Venue, Food Service, and Custom.
- Site ElementsThe modules buyers care about — gallery, offerings, menu, contact, hours, team, service areas.

Product
DeskDev Sites
DeskDev Sites designs, builds, and runs named website packages for home, property, trades, equine, and local service businesses in the Collingwood area and across Ontario.
A clear build price. Care after launch.
Landing is one page, one offer. Brochure is a clean multi-page home base. Service Pro — the package we recommend for trades — adds service detail pages, service areas, and a strong quote path. Showcase leads with gallery. Firm, Venue, and Food Service complete the named set; Custom is the escape hatch.
You approve a private preview before launch. Care Essential, Active, or Intensive starts on launch day. Local presence, reviews, email and booking setup are quoted separately when they fit.
How engagements work
From consultation to launch in five steps.
Every engagement runs the same way, whichever package fits. Payment is structured 50% to begin, 40% at staging approval, and 10% at launch. Monthly Care plans run on a 6-month minimum.
- Step 01
Consultation
You tell us your trade, your service area, and what the site needs to do. We ask the questions that decide the package.
- Step 02
Written proposal
Your package, Care plan, any add-ons, timeline, and price — the whole cost before you commit to anything.
- Step 03
Structured intake
Services, service areas, licensing, photos, and proof, collected once. Content and setup are the work, so this is where the clock starts.
- Step 04
Build and staging review
We produce the site on our production system while you keep working, then you confirm every fact on a private staging link.
- Step 05
Launch and care
A target launch date agreed in your proposal, with hosting, monitoring and a defined edit allowance. Standard builds target 10 business days after content, access and deposit are ready.
Why DeskDev
Built to be accountable
Four commitments that shape every proposal, build, and care plan.
One accountable operator
The person who scopes your project builds it, launches it, and answers for it afterward. No account managers, no hand-offs, no agency queue.
A fixed price, in writing
Every package is a defined configuration. The proposal is the price. Attaches and extras are quoted separately, in writing, before work starts.
Business days, not quarters
Standard builds target 10 business days after complete content, access and deposit. Your proposal confirms availability, review dates and any dependencies.
Facts, not claims
We never invent claims about your business, and we don’t make them about ours. You confirm every statement before it goes live, and reporting stays in plain language.

About DeskDev
An Ontario web operator serving the Collingwood area first.
DeskDev is an Ontario web operator. We design, build, and run named website packages for service businesses, starting in the Collingwood area and working across the province.
Most service businesses don’t need an agency and shouldn’t have to become their own web team. They need a site that is accurate, fast, and built to make the phone ring — and someone accountable for keeping it that way.
The operating model is simple: a useful website, a clear build price, and ongoing Care. One operator scopes, builds, launches and maintains it. Extra services are added when there is a specific job for them to do, not because you need another subscription.
Consultation first
Every engagement starts with a conversation and a written proposal. There is no self-serve builder, because a fixed price is only honest when a person has confirmed the scope.
One production system
Intake, build, staging review, launch, and Care all run through the same system. That is how a small operator keeps timelines short and quality consistent.
Tracked from intake to launch
You get direct progress updates, a private preview, and a written approval record. You do not need to learn a client portal to work with us.
Start with a consultation.
Tell us your trade, your service area, and what the site needs to do. We follow up with a specific written proposal — usually within two business days.
