09/ Compare
Custom-built vs page builders.
Builders are fine for a weekend project. When the site has to bring in work, here's what changes.
| What matters | WebForge Canada | Page builders |
|---|---|---|
| Design | Made for your business, from your logo, photos and facts | Starts from a shared template |
| Who owns it | You own the code and the domain | The site lives on the builder's platform |
| Monthly platform fee | None. Hosting on Cloudflare is free for most small business sites | A plan is needed to stay online |
| Moving later | Take the code to any host | Moving usually means rebuilding |
| Custom tools | Quote forms, PDF generators, dashboards and quizzes built to fit | Limited to the builder's apps and plugins |
| Speed | Pre-built pages served from a global network, built to score 90+ on Lighthouse | Depends on the template and add-ons |
| Launch | We set up your domain, SSL, hosting and Google Business Profile | You set it up yourself |
| Who you talk to | The engineer who built it | The platform's support desk |

12/ Web design FAQ
Good questions.
Something else on your mind? Ask it in the quote form or on a free call.
How long does a website take?
A Starter site usually takes one to two weeks. A Business site takes two to four weeks, depending mostly on how quickly photos and content come in.
Do I need my content ready?
No. Send what you have, even a few notes and phone photos. We write the page copy with you and organize everything.
Can you redesign my existing website?
Yes. Several projects here are rebuilds of older WordPress and template sites. We keep your page addresses where we can so Google rankings carry over, and plan the domain and email switch so nothing goes dark.
Will I pay monthly fees?
There is no builder subscription. You pay for your domain each year, and hosting on Cloudflare is free for most small business sites. Support plans are optional.
Do you work outside Ontario?
Yes. Our clients are in Ontario, Alberta, Quebec and California. Everything runs online, so location doesn't matter.
Do you build web apps, not just websites?
Yes. We've built a certificate of insurance generator that outputs a finished PDF, a team dashboard that tracks login hours automatically, and a licensing and checkout backend for a software product.
Will my site show up on Google?
Every site launches with page titles, descriptions, a sitemap, robots.txt and Google-ready business details. The Business package adds Google Business Profile setup. Nobody can honestly promise a #1 ranking, but your site will be built the way Google expects.
How do you stop spam through my contact form?
Every form has its own backend with layered checks: a hidden trap field for bots, a minimum time to fill in the form, an expiry time, and checks that the request came from your own site.
Who hosts the site, and who owns it?
We host on Cloudflare's global network, and can set it up in an account in your name. The code and the domain are yours. If you ever leave, you take everything with you.
What happens on the free discovery call?
It takes 20 minutes, by phone, Google Meet or in person in the GTA. We ask about your business and your customers, look at your current site if you have one, and tell you plainly what we would build. A written plan and quote follow by email, with no obligation.
