Hosting and care · Markham

Someone still
looking after it.

170 business websites in Markham still show a copyright line five years old or more. Almost none of those owners decided to let the site rot — the person who built it moved on and there was nobody left to ask for a change.

Every line above comes from our own survey of Markham: 1,878 listings, each website opened and checked by hand. Nothing is modelled.

What the monthly fee is actually for

Hosting, the domain, the certificate, edits whenever you need them, your Google listing and ongoing search work. Not a maintenance plan on top of a separate SEO retainer on top of hosting — that arrangement is how three companies end up not quite talking to each other about one website.

Measurement first

626 of the 1,294 sites we opened in Markham have no analytics at all, which means their owners cannot tell whether anything they do works. That goes in before the work, not after.

What counts as an edit

Text, prices, photographs, a new service, a seasonal notice, a page for a new location. If it takes under an hour it is included, and most things do.

Questions

The usual questions.

How many Markham websites are abandoned?

Of 1,294 working sites we opened in Markham, 170 carry a copyright line five years old or older and 725 carry no date at all. Only 597 show this year or last.

Is there a contract?

No. The monthly part is month to month, and the site and the domain are yours either way.

Two minutes

Where does your
own site land?

Everything above came from opening real websites. Yours takes ten seconds: we load it the way a customer would and say what we find, including when the honest answer is that nothing needs doing.
