Fat Dog Media has been right here on Main Street's side of the tracks since 1999. We build clean, fast, professional websites for the businesses we already shop at, eat at, and bump into at the rink. Local isn't a marketing word for us - it's just where we are.
What we build
Built around what you actually do - not jammed into a one-size-fits-all template that looks like every other small-town site.
Designed for your business, your customers, and the kind of work you do - whether that's a Main Street boutique, a service company in Stewarttown, or a professional practice in Glen Williams. You own everything.
Starting at $3,000WooCommerce or Shopify stores for Georgetown retailers ready to sell beyond the storefront. Product setup, payment, Ontario tax and shipping rules - done properly.
Starting at $4,000Single-purpose pages for a service, an event, or a Google Ads campaign. Built to convert visitors into phone calls and form submissions - not just look pretty.
Starting at $800Slow site? Mobile layout broken? Outdated plugins flashing security warnings? We troubleshoot existing WordPress sites and fix what's wrong without a full rebuild.
From $150/hr or flat rateMonthly care plans so your site stays updated, backed up, and secure - plus a small bank of content edits so you don't pay extra every time you change a price or post a holiday hours notice.
From $99/monthEvery site we build comes with SEO foundations baked in. For businesses serious about ranking for "Georgetown" or "Halton Hills" searches, we offer ongoing SEO packages - keyword work, on-page tuning, Google Business Profile management.
See our SEO pageHow it works
Four steps. Clear milestones. A fixed price agreed before any work starts.
A call, a Zoom, or coffee on Main Street if you'd rather. We talk goals, your current site if there is one, the local competition, and budget.
An itemized, written quote. Fixed price, agreed timeline. We define what's in, what's out, and what "done" means before anything starts.
We design and build. You get a private preview link to review and request changes. Most projects launch in 3-6 weeks.
We push live, register with Google, and walk you through making everyday updates yourself. Hands-on support is included.
Client results
We don't share client names without permission, but here's the kind of work we've shipped recently.
Old site looked outdated and didn't work properly on mobile. Rebuilt with a focus on the partners' specialties, clear booking flow, and strong on-page SEO for Georgetown and Halton Hills queries.
Replaced a slow Wix site with a custom WordPress build. Better photography, "what's new" feed for in-store inventory, and proper local schema. Foot traffic from "near me" searches noticeably up.
Owner-operated trades company with no real web presence. Built service-area landing pages targeting Georgetown, Acton, Glen Williams, and Norval. Combined with a Google Business Profile reset, they're now competing with much bigger names.
Transparent pricing
Every project is priced in writing before we start. Here are typical starting points for a Georgetown small business.
Template-based WordPress build. Solid fit for a brand-new Georgetown business that needs a real online presence quickly.
Fully custom WordPress design. For established Georgetown businesses that want to stand apart and rank for the searches that matter locally.
WooCommerce or Shopify build for Georgetown shops ready to take orders beyond Main Street.
Prices are starting points. Your quote will be itemized and fixed - no surprise invoices.
Common questions
Yes. Fat Dog Media has been a Georgetown business since 1999 - not "serves Georgetown from Toronto." We can meet in person around Halton Hills (Georgetown, Acton, Glen Williams, Norval) and work remotely with everyone else.
Template builds start around $1,500. Custom WordPress sites typically run $3,000-$6,000+, and e-commerce starts at $4,000. Every quote is fixed-fee and itemized - no hourly billing, no surprises.
Most projects launch in 3-6 weeks from kickoff. The biggest variable is how quickly you can get content (text, photos, approvals) back to us. We keep things moving with clear weekly milestones.
Every site we build includes on-page SEO foundations - proper headings, meta tags, schema markup, image optimization, and mobile speed. To actively rank for competitive Georgetown and Halton Hills searches, we offer ongoing SEO packages.
Yes. Sites are built on WordPress, and we walk you through editing pages, swapping photos, posting updates, and handling holiday hours yourself. If you'd rather not deal with it, our maintenance plans cover small content changes for a flat monthly fee.
Absolutely. Halton Hills is one municipality - Acton, Georgetown, Glen Williams, Norval, Stewarttown, Limehouse - and we work across all of it. We also serve clients in Erin, Rockwood, Milton, Caledon, and Oakville.
That's a regular part of our work. Broken contact forms, slow load times, security warnings, mobile layouts that don't work - we troubleshoot and fix existing WordPress sites at an hourly rate or as a flat-fee project.
You work directly with the person building your site. No account managers, no "we'll loop in the team," no offshore handoffs. We're a small Georgetown business ourselves, so we get the math of running one.
Service areas
Based right in Georgetown, we work with clients across Halton Hills and well beyond. Local enough to drop by, small enough to actually pick up the phone.
Tell us a bit about your business and we'll be in touch with a free, no-obligation consultation - usually within one business day.
Or call 416-892-7774. No spam. No long-term contracts. Just a conversation.
