North York is home base — my studio sits on Cedarcroft Blvd, just off Bathurst, so the businesses I build for here are quite literally my neighbours. From the Yonge and Sheppard office towers to the shops and clinics across Willowdale, Bayview Village and Don Mills, sharp North York web design is how you get found and chosen.
A custom website for a North York business costs $899–$2,999 one-time and launches in 5–7 days once your content is ready. Lead Web Studio works out of 18 Cedarcroft Blvd in North York, Toronto, and serves North York along with 20 other GTA cities. Rated 5.0 from 45 Google reviews.
Because North York is huge and incredibly diverse, with countless small businesses serving the same neighbourhoods. A fast, professional, SEO-ready website is what lifts you above the crowd so nearby customers find and trust you first.
From the restaurants and shops along Yonge Street and around North York Centre to trades and clinics across Willowdale, Bayview Village and Don Mills, North York customers meet you online first. A dated site loses them in seconds; a modern, mobile-first one earns the call.
Two halves of the same goal — a site that looks the part and actually brings in business.
A polished, credible site that reflects your North York business.
The engine that turns visitors into North York customers.
Anyone can say “we build great websites.” These are two clients a few minutes from my studio, with numbers from their own Google Search Console.
A kitchen and full-home renovation company working across Toronto from their base on Yonge. They needed homeowners to stop browsing and start booking, so the site leads with photography of finished kitchens and funnels everything into one free-consultation form. I still support it today.
A community food market that had no meaningful search presence. I rebuilt the site from scratch — 355 pages, every product and category structured so Google could actually read it — and it has been growing from zero ever since.
Growth like this is built over months, not weeks, and I will never promise you a number or a #1 ranking. What I can promise is that the technical foundation will not be the reason you lose.
The studio sits at Bathurst and Finch, which puts almost all of North York inside a 15-minute drive. If you searched “website designer near me”, this is the near.
Outside these? I also cover Toronto, Vaughan, Markham and Richmond Hill — see all service areas.
From restaurants and grocers to trades, clinics and service businesses — if you serve North York, I can build the site that gets you found.
A few of the North York-area and GTA businesses I've helped get found and grow online.
No mystery, no disappearing for a month. Here is exactly what happens after you get in touch.
We talk for 20 minutes about your business, your customers and what the site has to do. You get a written fixed price the same or next day — not an hourly estimate that grows.
I tell you exactly what I need and write the copy if you would rather not. For North York clients I can come and photograph your shop, your team or your finished work myself.
You see the real homepage in your browser within a few days, not a flat mockup. Hand-coded, mobile-first, with local SEO and business schema built in from the first line.
I handle the domain, hosting, SSL, Google Search Console and Analytics. After launch you get 30 days of support included and a real phone number after that.
Published prices, fixed before we start. One payment, you own everything — no monthly website rental.

You have three realistic options for a North York business website. Here is the trade-off with the uncomfortable parts left in.
| What matters | DIY template | Overseas freelancer | Local North York studio |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | Lowest | Low | From $899 |
| Looks unique | Rarely | Sometimes | Always |
| Built for local SEO | No | Usually not | Yes |
| Same time zone & fast replies | — | No | Yes |
| Can meet you in person | No | No | Yes |
| Support after launch | You're on your own | Often disappears | Ongoing |
| Your real hourly cost | High — your weekends | Medium — revision rounds | Low |
Across the GTA a professional small-business site typically lands somewhere between $800 and $3,000 as a one-time project, depending on page count and functionality. Below roughly $500 you are almost always buying a template someone filled in for you. Above $5,000 for a standard service business, you are usually paying for agency overhead rather than a better website.
The number that actually matters is not the build price — it is what the site does afterwards. A $400 template that no one finds is more expensive than a $1,499 site that brings in two jobs a month. Ask any designer for their price and for a live site they built that ranks.
"Liubomyr did a great job on my old website. He redesigned it so well that it looks better than anything I have seen. The best designer in North York for sure. Thank you!"
"Working with Lead Web Studio was a great experience from start to finish. They really took the time to understand our requirements and made us feel like they genuinely cared about creating the right website for us. Communication was always easy, they were responsive to our feedback, and the final website turned out exactly how we had hoped."
"Lead Web Studio built a website for my business in Toronto and did an amazing job. The site looks professional, loads fast, and was optimized for SEO from the start. Very satisfied with their work and highly recommend them!"

Spotlight Kitchen is a kitchen and home renovation company at 5754 Yonge Street — right here in North York, a few minutes from my studio. I built their website with a bold hero and a simple free-consultation flow so homeowners can go from browsing to booking without friction.
It's a genuinely local project, and one I still support today. See the full case study →
I'm local — and I show up. My studio is right here in North York, on Cedarcroft Blvd off Bathurst. Most work is done remotely for clients across Canada and the US, but when a North York project needs a face-to-face planning session or on-location photos of your business, I come to you. Try getting that from a template.
Just east of Bathurst, a few minutes north of Finch. Parking is easy and I am happy to come to your business instead — most North York clients prefer that.
Yes — Willowdale, Bayview Village, Don Mills, York Mills, Newtonbrook, North York Centre, Lansing, Bathurst Manor, Downsview, Hillcrest Village, Parkwoods and the rest of North York. My studio is on Cedarcroft Blvd, so meeting in person is easy anywhere in the area.
A custom site starts at $899 one-time for up to 10 pages, and $1,499 for a larger build with more pages and features. Local SEO and Google Maps setup are separate add-ons. You get a fixed written quote before anything starts — no hourly billing and no monthly website rental.
Most small-business sites go live in 5 to 7 days from the day content and photos are ready. A single landing page can be quicker; a large site with custom functionality takes longer. You get a date in writing with the quote.
Lead Web Studio is a small North York studio, not a large agency and not a marketplace freelancer. You deal directly with the person who designs and codes your site — there is no account manager relaying messages and no work sent offshore.
Three things: every site is hand-coded rather than assembled from a template or page builder, so it loads fast and passes Core Web Vitals; pricing is fixed and published, not quoted after a sales call; and the studio is physically in North York, so I can meet you and photograph your business in person.
All of it. The studio sits at 18 Cedarcroft Blvd near Bathurst and Finch, which puts most of North York within about 15 minutes — Willowdale, Newtonbrook, Bayview Village, York Mills, Don Mills, Bathurst Manor, Clanton Park, Downsview, Armour Heights, Hillcrest Village, Henry Farm, Parkwoods, Victoria Village and Flemingdon Park.
Yes. Most work happens by phone, email and video, but for North York clients I regularly meet on site for planning sessions and to photograph the business, the team or the work. That is the practical advantage of hiring locally.
Every site is built SEO-ready — clean structure, fast pages, proper headings and local business schema. Beyond that I offer local SEO and Google Business Profile setup so you appear for near-me searches in your neighbourhood. Ranking is a process measured in months, not a switch, and I will tell you honestly what is realistic for your niche.
Both, depending on what the project actually needs. Most builds are hand-coded, which is why they load in about a second with no plugins to update and no page-builder bloat. Where WordPress genuinely fits — usually when you want to publish posts yourself every week — I build on it custom, never from a bought template. And if you already have a WordPress site, I can migrate it to code.
Completely. You own the domain, the hosting account, the content and the finished code. There is no rent-a-website arrangement and nothing is held hostage if you ever decide to move on.

North York isn't a market on a map to me — it's where I work every day. My studio is on Cedarcroft Blvd, just off Bathurst, so the businesses I design for here are quite literally my neighbours, from the Yonge and Sheppard office towers to the shops and clinics across Willowdale, Bayview Village and Don Mills.
That local knowledge goes into every build: a fast, credible, mobile-first site that speaks to how North York customers actually search and choose — and, because I'm right here, I can meet you in person any time.
Every trade sells differently. These pages cover what each one needs from a website — and where a North York-specific page exists, it is first.
I build websites for clients across Canada and beyond — but I'm based in Toronto. For a planning session or on-site business photos, I'll come to you. Pick your city:
