Toronto & the GTATaking on new projects
I design and build modern websites for small and local businesses in Toronto and the GTA — sites that stand out, build trust, and turn visitors into customers.
What every Modern Forge Web build includes, as standard.
You get the full number by email before work starts. No hourly clock, no surprise line items at the end.
The design, the code, the content, and the domain are yours. Nothing is locked to my hosting.
Lightweight code and optimised images, tested on a real phone connection rather than a fast office one.
Readable contrast, keyboard navigation, and screen-reader support are part of the build, not an upsell.
What we do
Most clients start with a site and add the rest when it earns its place. You are never sold a package you don't need.
I start with your customers, not a template. You see the design before anything gets built, so nothing is a surprise at the end.
Hand-built, tested on real phones, and shipped to fast hosting. No page-builder bloat and nothing you can't take with you.
Your current site stays live while I build the new one. Existing pages keep their addresses so you don't lose the search rankings you already have.
For a campaign, a promotion, or a single service. Built to be measured, so you can tell whether the ad spend behind it is working.
Ongoing technical upkeep and local search work, plus a plain-English monthly note on what changed and why.
How it goes
You know what's happening each week, and you see the design before it's built.
Email me what your business does and what isn't working. You get back questions, a rough scope, and a price range — in writing, usually same day.
Free · usually two emailsYou review the homepage design before anything is built. Changes happen here, while they're cheap and easy.
Two rounds includedThe site gets built, then tested on real phones and with a screen reader before you ever see a link.
You get a staging linkI move it live, point your domain, and stay reachable while the first real visitors come through.
30 days of free tuningDemo concepts
A roofer and a steakhouse should not end up with the same site. Each of these is a working demo, designed from scratch for its industry — open one and scroll it.
Trust
Modern Forge Web is new. Rather than fill this space with stock quotes and statistics I can't back up, I've left it empty until there are real clients to quote.
What I can do instead is make sure going first doesn't cost you. You pay 25% to start, you see the design before anything is built, and if it isn't right after two rounds of changes you get that deposit back in full. The rest isn't due until your site is live.
Questions
A full business website starts at $2,200 and a single landing page at $900. What moves the number is how many pages you need and whether anything has to connect to booking or payments. You get an exact figure by email before you commit to anything.
Most sites take two to four weeks from kickoff to live. The clock usually depends on how quickly you can send photos, logos, and answers — not on us.
No. Everything can be handled over email — the quote, the design review, and the changes. If you'd rather talk it through at some point I'm happy to, but nothing is held up waiting on a phone call, and you're never chasing me for one.
Me. Modern Forge Web is one person — Gleb — not an agency with a sales team. The person you email is the person designing and building your site, and that doesn't change halfway through. It's also why the price is what it is.
Email us about your business and we'll come back with scope, price, and timing — in writing. No obligation, no sales sequence, no call required.
