I was fortunate to meet Ruth when I was visiting Toronto, and I’m so thankful for it cause she took all the stress away from configuring and setting up the Fem Entity platform! Not only did she ace the features and functionality, but also nailed the branding guidelines! She pays great attention to detail and tracks everything I should know about the platform! I’d recommend Dynamite Sites to anyone interested to setting up a WordPress platform!”

– Courses on WordPress web design and CRM

These additional services demonstrate how much we care about the long-term success of our clients and building genuine relationships with them, where we continue to provide support and care for years as they grow.

Where is Dynamite Sites based?

In Toronto, Ontario.

Who do you work with?

We work with small businesses, and while we often work with those in health and wellness, home service industries, professional services, and startups, we work with companies in a variety of industries.

I’ve had bad experiences with other web design and marketing agencies or freelancers. Why should I trust you?

We don’t see clients as opportunities for short-term gain. Because we offer recurring services like SEO, website maintenance, and even personalized support with the CRM solution, we’re all about long-term relationships. We want to be a partner in your success, so we care about doing our absolute best to help you and your business thrive because we want to keep working with you into the future. Our clients stay with us for years.

Also, the founder of Dynamite Sites, Ruth Emode, has a background in teaching at post-secondary institutions, with a decade and half experience of working with adult students learning academic skills to start their career programs. Therefore she deeply cares about educating and supporting fellow business owners, helping them overcome tech and marketing obstacles to reach their goals. Active listening, clear and quick communication, results, and transparency are at the foundation of the high quality customer service that Dynamite Sites delivers.

For ongoing services like SEO and ads, you’ll always receive monthly reports, and for web design and CRM setup and optimization, we’re happy to jump on a call with you to instruct or troubleshoot.

Contact us to learn about our onboarding process.

How much does web (re)design cost?

The Small Business & Nonprofit Starter Package has a minimum price of $2500 because it doesn’t just include WordPress web design. We set up the domain and hosting for you so you don’t have to worry about the technical stuff; we implement basic SEO for a high-performing site; we offer 2-3 months for free site maintenance after the project’s done; and we will train you on how to do basic site edits, so you can have the confidence to make content updates.

Contact us for a custom quote.

What is website maintenance?

Website maintenance involves managing the domain and hosting plan you have with GoDaddy, Bluehost in case you have issues with upgrading or the SSL certificate that gives your site the “https.” It involves updating WordPress CMS, your theme and the plugins for optimal security and performance and troubleshooting any issues that arise as well. Lastly it includes 2-4 hours of content updates if you want help editing the content on your site.

Instead of worrying about whether your website is working properly for you and your business, let us take that responsibility of your hands so you can focus on the reason you went into business in the first place.

Contact us to learn about our monthly plans.

Can you fix my website?

We do do website redesigns, so we can fix websites, but it depends on the issue. If you share the details of the problem or your goals, we’ll let you know what we can and can’t do for you in the spirit of transparency. That way, you can make a decision whether to move forward based on our assessment.

Contact us about your website issues or goals.

What do you need from me to start the web (re)design project?

We need to know the following:

– What your goals are, which will determine what functions and features need to be included (an online store requires an e-commerce setup for instance)
– The main pages you want built
– A layout or simple wireframe of the all the key sections on each page (we’ll help you complete this)
– Whether you have domain and hosting already set up and who your hosting provider is
– Example sites you want to emulate
– Branding kit (colors, fonts) and a logo, or we offer logo designs if you don’t have one already
– Content (images and copy, for starters)
– If you want to invest in SEO, so highly optimized pages that bring in traffic will be the cornerstone of your site
– Your budget available
– Your target date to complete your new or redesigned site

Book a meeting to discuss your project.

How long does it take to complete a website?

It depends on the complexity of a project. A simple build of 3-5 pages where the client provides the content in a timely manner can be done in a week or two.

Delays with receiving the content or approvals from the client is the number one reason websites are not completed before the proposed deadline, so make sure your team is prepared to pass on all the necessary material and answers any questions our team has.

How many revisions can I make?

The discovery meeting at the beginning of the project will help us determine the scope of the website project. So as long as your requests fall into the scope of our original goals for the website, we will accommodate them.

If you know you’ll want to make a number of changes moving forward, please ask us about our monthly website maintenance plans, so we can continue to support your website goals for the long-haul.

What is SEO, and why do I need it?

To understand SEO in simpler terms, imagine if you built a house, but it’s disconnected from every highway. How will people find it? If you don’t have ways of bringing traffic to your website, then your website is a ghost town, just sitting pretty and not doing anything to generate leads. Of course, you can do paid ads, but they can be quite expensive, especially Google ads if your website is not optimized beforehand.

SEO is search engine optimization, involving 1) the creation of content with keywords to help bring in traffic; 2) technical improvements to boost site speed and performance; and 3) the creation of backlinks (adding your website URL to other authoritative websites) to increase your domain’s authority in the eyes of search engines. If you’re just doing one of these, you’re not doing enough.

SEO requires patience though because it can take Google months to register the changes on your website, and you should budget for 12 months to be safe. It’s a long-term strategy that can connect your website to the digital highway, bringing in the visitors that are actively searching for products and services like yours. And even when the SEO campaign is done, as long as your site is properly maintained, the leads will keep coming in.

Contact us to discover what keyword strategies we can implement to change your site into a lead-generating machine.

What is a CRM, and why do I need it?

CRM stands for a Customer Management Relationship system, and if you want to save time and scale your business you absolutely need one.

Are you struggling with any of the following?:

– Knowing how much potential revenue you stand to make
– Tracking where all your leads, clients come from and how many times you’ve contacted them
– Following up with leads fast enough
– Reaching out to current customers regularly to bring them back again, and sooner
– Keeping up with conversations with prospects and customers in multiple platforms (email, SMS, Facebook, WhatsApp, etc.)
– Asking for reviews to be more competitive locally, on Google
– Posting regularly on social media
– Managing your multiple calendars to avoid booking conflicts, and managing your team’s calendars
– Not having an virtual receptionist to respond to FAQs, answer questions off-hours on the site, and book appointments
– Fully integrating your CRM with your website, so new leads are automatically brought into your database and sent the relevant messages

Then the all-in-one Dynamite CRM solution is for you because it can help solve all these problems and more.

Contact us to set up a free demo to see if it’s the right fit for you.

Testimonials

What Our Clients Think

Our non-profit organization, VWAT Family Services, which provides social and community services for newcomers in the city of Toronto and has been in operation since 1982, has had the pleasure of working with Ruth to re-create our website. Ruth is extremely organized, quick to respond to questions, and resourceful in helping us find solutions. She was great at following up with us, and breaking down tasks that needed to be completed in a clear and concise manner. Communication was consistent and instructions were thorough. She consulted us on themes, what apps were required based on our needs, and created the website based on the framework we provided for her. In addition, she is connected to a large network and referred us to other professionals, such as logo designers and SEO consultants. She did all this while working within our budget. Ruth will do her best to work within your budget. We are very happy with our website. Not only is it functional, allowing clients to book appointments online, and providing important resources, it looks clean, professional and inviting. Thank you, Ruth, for working with us to present a new digital face for our organization!

What Ruth does differently at Dynamite Sites is empower her clients by providing them opportunities to learn tech and marketing skills themselves. I wanted to learn more about the ins and outs of marketing on social media to promote my business, Perpetual Rhythms, and Ruth was able to find the right professional to give me comprehensive tutorials.

Ruth took our vision and 114 page word document and turned it into a aesthetically pleasing, user-friendly, functioning website for the myeloma (blood cancer) community. Having no knowledge of the ins and outs of websites, we are so appreciative that Ruth educated us and patiently answered all our queries. Her expertise, attention to details, and thoroughness was key in creating the final website quickly. I highly recommend her services.

Don’t stagnate, transform

As a WordPress web design Toronto agency, we know that you want to succeed big even if you’re a solopreneur or small organization.

To do that, you need a powerful website and marketing automation specialist. The problem is these solutions can be unaffordable, you might choose the wrong help, or you’ve got too much hired help working without a unified plan.

As a result, you might be turning away visitors on your site, and your campaigns might be unclear and inconsistent, generating few leads. All this can make you feel stuck.

Being a small business, we understand your growing pains, which is why we offer just about everything you’re looking for in one place at reasonable rates.

You want to focus on your passion for your business or charity, not website and marketing stuff, so let us take all that off your shoulders.
