Websites for local businesses

Websites that turn local visitors into paying customers.

Most small-business sites look dated and lose customers. I build fast, modern sites designed to get you found and get the phone ringing — live in a week.

Styles

A look that fits your business

Every site is custom to your brand. Here are three directions to start from — I'll match the feel to your shop.

Bright & Playful

Bold colour and big type. Perfect for dessert shops, cafés, and anything fun and social.

Warm & Premium

Moody, elevated, appetite-forward. Great for restaurants and higher-end dining.

Clean & Modern

Sharp and professional. Ideal for trades, services, clinics, and studios.

Pricing

Simple, flat pricing

No hourly billing, no bloated agency retainer. One price to build it, a small plan to keep it running.

Founder, Nelson Studio

Digital marketer turned site builder — focused on one thing: sites that actually bring in business.

  • Years running paid ads & performance marketing
  • Data-driven — builds for conversions, not just looks
  • Based in the GTA, working with local shops

Not a designer who dabbles in marketing. A marketer who builds sites.

I spent years in paid advertising, obsessing over one question: what actually makes someone click, call, and buy?

Most web designers make things that look nice and stop there. I build sites the way a marketer does — every section has a job: get you found, build trust fast, and turn a visitor into a customer. That's the difference between a pretty site and one that pays for itself.

Nelson Studio exists to give local businesses the kind of modern, high-converting website that big brands have — without the agency price tag or the runaround.

Want to see your new site — for free?
