How it works
- 01
Tell us the plan
Type it or call us and leave a voicemail - a couple of sentences (or minutes) is plenty. No meeting required.
- 02
Get a brief & fixed quote
We send back what we heard in plain English, you confirm it, and the quote is fixed - no surprise line items.
- 03
We build, you're found
We ship it, launch it, and - if you'd like - keep it ranking and improving with measured reporting.
Small on purpose.
Senior by default.
Geekybeaver stays deliberately small so nothing gets lost in handoffs. The people who scope your project are the people who build it - which is why the estimates hold and the details don't slip.
The usual agency
You talk to an account manager, who briefs a project manager, who briefs a designer, who briefs a developer.
Geekybeaver
You talk directly to the people building your project.

Common questions
Do you only work with businesses in Niagara?
No. We are based in the Niagara Region and work with many businesses in St. Catharines, Niagara Falls, Welland, Niagara-on-the-Lake and Grimsby, plus Hamilton and the GTA. We also work remotely with clients across Canada, the U.S. and Europe.
How much does a website cost?
It depends on what the site needs to do. Tell us about your project and we reply within one business day with a ballpark price. When you confirm the brief, the quote is fixed, so there are no surprise line items.
Do I need to book a meeting to get started?
No. Fill in the form, send an email, or call and leave a voicemail. A few sentences is enough for us to write a brief and a quote.
Does my website need to meet AODA accessibility rules?
If you are an Ontario business or non-profit with 50 or more employees, or a public sector organization, the AODA requires your public website to meet WCAG 2.0 Level AA, with a few exceptions. We audit and fix sites to WCAG 2.1 AA, which covers 2.0 AA, and document the results.
What is AI search visibility?
Many people now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google's AI Overviews who to hire. AI search visibility means checking if those tools mention your business and what they say, then fixing the content, listings and structured data they rely on so they recommend you. Our own tool, MentionHawk, asks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity the questions your customers actually type, three times each, then counts how often your business is named and tells you exactly what to fix. The first scan is free, no card needed.
How can I check if ChatGPT recommends my business?
Run a free scan with MentionHawk. It asks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity the questions your customers type, three times each, counts how often your business is named, and lists what to fix. No card needed.
My WordPress site was hacked. Can you fix it?
Yes. We remove the malware, clean up spam redirects, help get the site off Google's blacklist, close the hole the attacker used, and harden the site so it does not happen again.
Do you build on WordPress or Laravel?
Both. We build custom sites and tools in Laravel when you need something specific, and we maintain, fix and improve existing WordPress sites. We also build on other languages, frameworks and platforms.
Can you look after my site after launch?
Yes. Hosting and care covers managed hosting, updates, backups and security. We can also keep working on local SEO with monthly reports you can actually read.
Have a project? Let's talk.
Tell us a little about what you need. We usually reply within one business day with next steps and a ballpark price.
