FAQs
Do I really own the code?
Yes. On day 1, we set up a private GitHub repo in your organization. Every commit is yours. The day we ship, we hand you the deploy keys, the DNS access, and the Cloudflare account.
If you fire us tomorrow, you can hand the repo to any developer or agency in the world and they can pick up exactly where we left off. That's the point.
What if I want to make small edits myself?
You log into Patrick. The editor lets you change copy, swap photos, update hours, and add services without touching code. Click save, Patrick rebuilds the site, purges the CDN, and pushes the new schema to Google — all in under 30 seconds.
For anything bigger (a new page, a new section), you can hand it to us or to any developer. The repo is standard, no proprietary syntax.
Why not just use WordPress with a fast theme?
A "fast" WordPress theme is still WordPress: PHP, a database, 24 plugins, a caching layer that breaks every month, and a hosting bill that creeps up. The fastest WordPress install we've ever audited hit a 2.8s FCP — and that was with $90/month hosting and aggressive cache tuning.
Our median is 0.7s. The architecture is just different. Static files, edge cache, no database round-trip — there's nothing to optimize because there's nothing in the way.
What does it cost?
The Phase 1 build is a one-time, flat fee for a standard local-business site (homepage + 3 service pages + contact + 4 neighbourhood pages). That includes the design, the build, the schema, the GBP sync, the initial review ladder, and the first 30 days of Patrick.
If you have more pages, more services, or more cities to cover, we'll scope it out and quote it before you commit. After launch, hosting is included, and you only pay Patrick if you want us to keep editing it.
What if I'm not in the GTA?
The build works anywhere — we've shipped sites in Calgary, Halifax, Vancouver, and one in Portland. Where we draw the line is the local SEO work on top: that's nine years of GTA-specific citation, press, and journalist contacts, and it doesn't transplant.
If you're outside the GTA, we'll build you a great site and be straight with you about the SEO partner you should use locally.
What happens to my existing site during the build?
It stays live, exactly as it is. We build the new site on a staging URL you can preview anytime. On launch day we flip DNS, push 301 redirects from every old URL to its new home, and submit a fresh sitemap to Google.
You'll see a small dip in traffic for 3–7 days while Google re-crawls. Every site we've ever migrated has been back to baseline or higher by day 14.
