Who builds websites for small businesses in Port Perry? Automation Solutions Co. is a solo, owner-operated web designer based in Uxbridge, Ontario, fifteen minutes from Port Perry, serving small businesses across Scugog, Durham Region, and the rest of the province. I build fast, modern sites that are wired to convert and to be measured from day one, in accounts you own. No templates by the hundred, no markup games, and you are never locked in.
The designer one town over.
You do not need to go to Toronto for a real website, and you do not need a faceless template shop either. I am in Uxbridge, a short drive from Queen Street, so I can meet in person when it helps and I already understand what running a business in this part of Durham looks like. When you hire me, the person who designs your site is the person who builds it and answers your email. There is no account manager in front and no offshore team behind.
Built for a Queen Street storefront or a service business alike.
Port Perry has a real mix: independent shops and restaurants downtown, trades and service businesses across Scugog, and plenty of seasonal demand around the lake. A good site meets a customer where they actually are, usually on a phone, and points them at the one thing you want them to do, whether that is book a table, request a quote, or call. I build around that, not around a gallery of stock photos.
Someone on a phone, searching nearby.
Most people looking for a Port Perry business are on a phone: a local searching "near me", or a summer visitor from the lake or the drive up 7A deciding where to stop. They see a Google Business Profile first and tap through to the website second. If the site is slow, hard to read on a small screen, or says something different from the profile, they go back and pick the next one.
So a Port Perry site I build does three plain things. It loads fast on a phone. Its name, phone number and hours match the Google Business Profile word for word. And the one action that matters, whether that is calling, booking or asking for a quote, sits where a thumb can reach it on the first screen.
A website built to be measured.
I come at websites from the ads-and-analytics side, so I build them to answer one question: is this turning visitors into customers? That means analytics and conversion tracking are wired in correctly from the start, the part most web builds skip entirely. A site that looks great but cannot tell you whether it works is only half a site, and for a business with a busy season it is the half that matters most.
What you get.
- A fast, modern site. Built to load quickly and read well on a phone, where most of your visitors actually are.
- Built to convert, not just to look nice. Clear calls to action, the right things above the fold, and pages organized around what a customer is trying to do.
- Measurement from day one. Proper analytics and conversion tracking, so you know which pages and channels bring real inquiries, season to season.
- Your accounts, your site. The domain, the hosting, the analytics and the finished site, all in your accounts. If we ever part ways, nothing of yours leaves with me; I keep only my own reusable templates and tooling.
Fix it or rebuild it? Start with a free look.
Send me your current site, or tell me you do not have one yet. I check it the way a customer meets it: on a phone, from a Google search, through to the contact form. Then I tell you plainly what I found and the first thing I would fix.
Sometimes the honest answer is a repair, not a new site: a form that never reaches your inbox, a page that takes ten seconds to load on mobile, or tracking that stopped counting. If that is all it needs, that is what I will say. Prefer to check on your own first? Here is how to check whether local customers can find you.
Local, but not limited to it.
Being right next to Port Perry means I get what running a small business in Scugog involves. But the build happens inside your own hosting and accounts, so I work with businesses across Ontario the same way. Your accounts stay yours, from day one, wherever you are. If you are hiring anyone, here is what you should hold in your own name when the site is done.
See the proof of the measurement side: how I caught a vacation-rental client's ad campaign sitting dark and wired requested booking value into the account. Need ads as well as a site? I also do Google Ads management for businesses across the region. Right in Uxbridge itself? See web design in Uxbridge, part of the same one-person marketing agency.
How a build goes, without the town, is on the web design page. Being found by people nearby once the site is live is local SEO, its own service.
What changed in a real account.
Figures from a vacation-rental account I run, shown anonymized. The requested value is per booking request, not collected revenue, so I say so out loud.
Booking requests from the ads in a vacation-rental account now carry the total the guest asked for, where before every one was logged at $0.
A leftover setting had let ad spend sit dark. I caught it by reading the account and relit it the day I found it.
Your budget goes straight to Google and Meta. I never take a cut of your ad spend.
The full story, with dates, is in the case study: nine dark days found, a daily check since, and what it does not prove.

Serving Uxbridge, Port Perry, Scugog and Durham Region, and the rest of Ontario remotely.
Asked before hiring me.
You are in Uxbridge. Do you actually work with Port Perry businesses?
Yes. Port Perry is the next town over, about fifteen minutes from me, so I know the area and can meet in person when it helps. The build itself happens inside your own hosting and accounts, so being one town away makes no difference to the work or to how reachable I am.
What does a small-business website cost?
It depends on what the site has to do, so I scope it to your business instead of selling a fixed package. There is no markup on anything you pay third parties for, like hosting or a domain, and you own all of it. Anything ongoing is month to month.
Can you fix my current site instead of building a new one?
Often, yes. A lot of the Port Perry sites I look at do not need a rebuild: they need a contact form that actually arrives, a page that loads on a phone, and tracking that works. I will tell you which one you need after the free look, and if a repair is enough, that is what I will recommend.
Will a new website get my business found on Google in Port Perry?
A site helps, but on its own it rarely puts you in the map results. People searching nearby mostly see Google Business Profiles first, so the site and the profile have to agree on your name, phone and what you do, and the site has to load fast on a phone. I set the site up for that. Ongoing work on the profile, listings and reviews is local SEO, a separate service.
How long does a website take?
For a small Port Perry business with its content ready, usually a few weeks. A seasonal business should aim to launch before the busy months, not during them, so tell me when your season starts and I will plan backwards from it.
I run a seasonal or tourist-facing business. Can the site handle that?
Yes, and it should be built for it. A lot of Port Perry and Scugog businesses see real swings between the summer and the off season. The site can lead with what matters in each season and, more importantly, it can be measured, so you can see whether your busy-season traffic is actually turning into calls and bookings.
