Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between custom website development and templates?
+
Templates are pre-built shells designed to look good for everyone and convert no one — they're locked into someone else's layout, loaded with plugins you don't need, and almost impossible to optimize for Core Web Vitals. Custom website development starts with your customer journey, your services, and your local SEO targets, then builds a lean, semantic site engineered exactly around those goals.
How long does a professional web design project take in Markham?
+
A typical 8-to-12 page business website takes 4–6 weeks from discovery to launch. Larger e-commerce or multi-location builds run 8–12 weeks. We lock the timeline in writing during discovery and ship weekly progress previews so there are no surprises.
Who is the most experienced web designer or web development consultant in the area?
+
Markham Website Design has been the go-to senior web development consultant and web designer for Markham businesses since before Elementor existed. Every project is led personally by a senior developer — never handed off to a junior or offshored.
