The $497website tune-up.
Already have a website that underperforms? For $497 I audit it, fix what matters most, and hand you a before and after report. One time, about a week, no subscription required.

01 — Symptoms
You probably know the symptoms.
- The site is slow, and you have watched people give up on it.
- It looks broken or cramped on a phone.
- It looks like the year it was built.
- The person who built it is gone, and nobody can update it.
That last one is the situation this service exists for. If you have been searching for someone to repair a website the original developer walked away from, this is that service. You do not need to know what is wrong before you reach out: finding out is the first part of the job.
02 — The audit
What the audit covers, and what gets fixed.
I measure how the site loads on a real phone connection, how Google reads it, whether your listing matches reality, and whether the words on the page ask anyone to do anything.
- Full audit of speed, SEO & messaging
- Speed optimization
- Google Business Profile cleanup
- Copy & call-to-action improvements
Then I fix the highest-impact items the audit finds, inside the $497. If something bigger turns up, it goes in the report with what it would cost, and you decide later. There are no surprise invoices.
03 — In writing
The before and after report.
Every tune-up ends with a written report: what was measured before I touched anything, what changed, and what the same measurements say after. Load times, search basics, listing accuracy, the copy that moved. You can hand it to anyone and they will see what the $497 bought.
All of it is yours. The fixes live in your site, the report lives in your inbox, and nothing about the tune-up requires a retainer afterwards.
04 — Rebuilds
When I will tell you to rebuild instead.
Some sites should not be tuned. If yours is on Wix or Squarespace and fighting you, patching a builder is usually slower and more expensive long-term than starting clean, and I will say so in the audit rather than sell you a tune-up that will not hold.
The rebuild is my $1,997 build: custom code, copy included, live in about 7 days. It is the same work behind the 7 live sites in my portfolio. I build from Courtenay for the Comox Valley and the rest of Vancouver Island, and I build sites in any language, even multilingual.
05 — Keeping it tuned
After the tune-up, across Vancouver Island.
A tuned site stays tuned when someone is watching it. The $197 a month care plan picks up where the tune-up ends: hosting, updates, backups, and small changes whenever you message me. If you want the wider picture of how I look after sites across the island, I keep a page on website maintenance for Vancouver Island businesses.
06 — FAQ
Tune-up questions.
How much does a website update cost?
A one-off round of updates with me is the $497 CAD tune-up: audit, speed work, Google Business Profile cleanup, and copy fixes, with a before and after report. If what you need is a steady stream of small updates rather than one big pass, the $197 a month care plan covers those as you ask for them.
Who can update my website?
I can, even if I did not build it. I take over existing sites too: first a look at what you own, your domain, hosting, and code, then the $497 tune-up to bring it to a healthy baseline, then the optional care plan if you want updates handled for you from then on.
Why does my website look bad on mobile?
Usually because it was designed on a desktop and never truly tested on phones: fixed widths, tiny tap targets, images that force sideways scrolling. Most of your visitors are on a phone, so this costs real customers. Mobile fixes are part of what the $497 tune-up audits and corrects first.
How fast should a website load?
Fast enough that nobody waits: in practice, aim for the first screen in well under three seconds on a phone connection. Slow sites lose visitors before the page even appears. Speed is the first thing the tune-up measures, and the before and after report shows exactly what changed.

The free audit tells you whether the tune-up is even needed: the $497 is the fix, not the diagnosis.
