Hamilton, trade by trade.
Trades where we opened at least eight working sites in Hamilton. "Dated" means the site loads but shows a hard sign of age: no HTTPS, no mobile layout, markup from the 2000s, an abandoned platform, or a copyright line five or more years old.

|---|---|---|
| WordPress | 87 | 50% |
| Wix | 12 | 7% |
| Squarespace | 10 | 6% |

What these numbers do not say.
They do not say how many Hamilton businesses have no website. Our source for businesses outside the GTA is OpenStreetMap, and a business without a website tag there may still have one, so we do not publish that figure. Nor do they include Google review counts, which we only have for the GTA.
What they do say is reliable: every figure in the table is a website we requested ourselves, and sites behind bot protection are left out rather than guessed at.
