Website guides for Kingston small businesses
Short, specific answers to the website questions a Kingston-area business owner actually runs into. No filler, no jargon.
A question about your own website tends to come up once, get answered by whoever is nearest, and then sit there for years. Each guide below takes one of those questions and answers it properly, with the two kinds of Kingston business in mind: the shop people walk into, and the trade people phone.
Who writes these guides
I'm Christopher Ross, the one person behind Kingston Web Design, working from the Niagara end of Lake Ontario rather than from a Kingston office. I write these guides for Kingston-area owners who want a straight answer before they talk to anyone, and I've been building for the web since 1996. When you're ready for a site, prices start at $2,500 and are fixed up front.
What does a website actually cost in Kingston?
Real numbers, what moves them up and down, and how to tell an honest quote from a stall.
Do you need a custom website or is a Facebook page enough?
Sometimes a Facebook page really is enough, and here's how to tell when that stops being true.
A small business website checklist before you launch
What has to be right on launch day, what gets missed the night before, and what must be in your name first.
Working with Napanee and Gananoque businesses from outside the city
How the work gets done when your business is half an hour down the road, and what's different about a smaller town.
What pages does a small Kingston business site actually need?
Four to ten, depending on one question: do your customers come to you, or do you go to them?
A content management system, explained without the jargon
It's the part of your website you can change yourself after the builder goes home. What that part should cover, and how to see it before you sign.
