Hosting and care · North York
Someone still
looking after it.
185 business websites in North York 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 North York: 2,745 listings, each website opened and checked by hand. Nothing is modelled. (North York is part of Toronto; we count the businesses that give North York as their address.)
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
750 of the 1,753 sites we opened in North York 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.
