Ottawa, Ontario
Websites in Ottawa,
checked one by one.
This page is built from our own check of 607 Ottawa business websites — every trade we track, every site requested directly. 73 of them no longer work. The rest are below.
Where Ottawa differs most from Toronto: 8% of working Ottawa sites are still served without HTTPS, against 3% across the GTA — every one of them shows "Not secure" in Chrome. The oldest copyright line we found in Ottawa reads 2000.
Ottawa, trade by trade.
Trades where we opened at least eight working sites in Ottawa. "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.

What Ottawa sites are built on.
WordPress runs 48% of the working sites here (43% in the GTA). A site on any maintained platform can be kept current. The ones that cannot are on tools nobody has updated in a decade.
| Platform | Sites | Share of working sites |
|---|---|---|
| WordPress | 224 | 48% |
| Wix | 37 | 8% |
| Shopify | 28 | 6% |
| Squarespace | 26 | 6% |
| GoDaddy Builder | 18 | 4% |
| Drupal | 7 | 1% |
| Webflow | 6 | 1% |
What these numbers do not say.
They do not say how many Ottawa 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for businesses outside the GTA is OpenStreetMap, and a business without a website tag there may still have one, so we do not publish that figure.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.
Working with us from Ottawa.

Before you decide anything
Find out whether
you have a problem.
Most people asking about a rebuild do not need one. The free check opens your site, looks at how it behaves on a phone, whether it is secure and how old the page is, and tells you which of those apply to you.
Want the same for
your business?
Tell us what you do and where you work. We will look at what you have now and say plainly whether it is worth rebuilding — including when it is not.
