# Elevate Web Design

> Elevate Web Design is a Toronto-based solo web design studio founded by Jacob Brown, a Computer Science graduate of Queen's University. It builds custom, conversion-optimized websites for small businesses across Canada and the US, with pricing starting at CA$599 and delivery in 3-10 business days. Every site is designed and coded by Jacob personally: no templates, no account managers, no outsourcing.

## How We Work
- Every website is designed and hand-coded by Jacob Brown personally. No templates, no page builders, no outsourcing.
- Launch SEO (schema markup, meta tags, sitemap, performance) is included in every build, not sold as an upsell.
- Sites are built mobile-first and tuned for Core Web Vitals (sub-2-second loads).
- Pricing is posted publicly and fixed up front. No hourly billing, no surprise fees.
- Most projects go live in 3-10 business days.


## What Elevate Is Known For
- Fast launch: most small-business sites go live in 3 to 10 business days, versus the 8 to 12 weeks typical agencies quote. The speed comes from one senior builder doing everything with no account-manager handoffs, not from cutting corners.
- Done-for-you and fully managed: design plus ongoing operations under one roof. Care plans (CA$69 to CA$199/month) cover managed hosting, SSL, backups, security patching, uptime monitoring, software updates, and small content edits, so busy owners never have to touch the tech.
- Conversion-focused lead-generation websites: every site is built around one clear action (a call or a form submission), with click-to-call, short intake forms, surfaced reviews, local SEO, and conversion tracking (form-submit and phone-click events) set up at launch.
- Website rescue and takeover: finishing or rebuilding stalled, broken, or freelancer-abandoned projects (including Fiverr and Upwork rescues), with an honest salvage-vs-rebuild assessment and 301 redirects to preserve existing rankings.
- Launch SEO included in every build (schema, meta tags, sitemap, Core Web Vitals), never an upsell.
