Front-end development
Interfaces built in HTML, CSS and JavaScript, tested across browsers and screen sizes.
Web development
Built for the business behind the browser.
DotWeb IT Solutions builds custom websites and web applications for businesses across Canada and the United States — engineered around what the business actually needs rather than assembled around a template.

What we actually build.
A working system, not a set of pages: an interface people use, application logic behind it, and the data and services it depends on — assembled on staging, then deployed.
Approach
Engineered around the requirements, not the template.
A template starts with a layout and asks the business to fit inside it. We start from what the site has to accomplish — the enquiry that has to arrive, the order that has to reconcile, the record that has to be looked up — and build outward from there.
That usually means less than a template does, not more. Fewer moving parts, a smaller dependency surface, and a conventional structure the next developer can read without a handover call.
- Front end and back end together. The interface and the logic behind it are built by the same team, so nothing falls between them.
- Integrations treated as part of the build. Payments, analytics and business systems are wired and tested before launch, not bolted on after.
- Responsive by construction. Layouts are built and checked at phone, tablet and desktop widths throughout, not corrected at the end.
- Readable for whoever comes next. Conventional platforms and a plain structure, so you are never dependent on us to make a change.
Capabilities
What development covers.
Twelve areas of work, quoted individually or together against a written deliverable list.
01
02
Back-end development
Server-side logic in PHP: forms, accounts, business rules and the work behind the screen.
03
Responsive websites
One build that holds together from a 320px phone to a wide desktop display.
04
CMS development
WordPress themes and plugins built so non-technical staff can edit without breaking layout.
05
Database applications
MySQL-backed tools where records are stored, searched, updated and reported on.
06
API integrations
Connecting the site to services it needs to exchange data with, with failures handled.
07
Payment integrations
Stripe implemented properly — card details handled by the processor, never your server.
08
Accounts & portals
Sign-in, permissions and customer-facing areas where people see only their own data.
09
Business system integration
Getting the website to talk to the tools already running the business, rather than beside them.
10
Performance optimization
Caching, asset weight and Core Web Vitals addressed as part of the build.
11
Website migrations
Moving hosts or platforms with URLs, content and search rankings intact.
12
Maintenance & enhancements
Updates, fixes and new features after launch, quoted the same way as the original build.

How pricing works
Pricing shown represents typical project ranges. Final pricing depends on the exact scope, complexity, deliverables, integrations, volume of work and other project requirements. Your exact project price and expected timeline are confirmed before payment.
Getting started
24–48hTypical project initiation
Work starts quickly because the groundwork is already done.
Once payment and the required project materials and access are received, project initiation typically occurs within 24–48 hours. That is possible because the scope is written before work starts, the build environment is already prepared, and there is no waiting on a chain of approvals between people who have never met.
How long the build itself takes is a separate question, and it depends on what you are building. Every range on this page carries its own typical timeline, and the timeline for your project is confirmed in writing before you pay.
24–48 hours refers to when work starts, not when it finishes. Delivery time depends on project scope, complexity and service type, and is confirmed before payment — not after.
Process
Six steps from enquiry to handover.
The same sequence on every development project, so you always know which step the work is in and what arrives at the end of it.
01
Enquiry
You tell us what you need. We read it properly and come back with questions rather than a template reply.

Operating standards
How the work is held to account.
Six standards that apply to every project. Each is something you can confirm rather than take on trust.
Clearly scoped
Written scope first
Deliverables are defined in writing and approved before any work begins.
Visible
Staging before production
Work is reviewed in a private environment you can open at any point.
Maintainable
Readable by whoever is next
Conventional platforms and a plain structure, so you are never locked to one supplier.
Transferred
Yours at completion
Full ownership of the agreed deliverables transfers when the project completes.
Fast to start
Initiation in 24–48 h
Once payment and the required project materials and access are received, project initiation typically occurs within 24–48 hours. Delivery timing is set by the scope.
Measurable
Reported in your accounts
Search and advertising work is reported through accounts you own and access directly.
Commercial terms
The commercial side, stated plainly.
Your exact project price and expected timeline are confirmed in writing before any payment is requested.
PricingQuoted against your scope, within the typical ranges shown. Invoicing in CAD or USD based on client preference.

How payment works
Once the project scope and price are confirmed, DotWeb sends a secure Stripe payment link. The payment page may display our Premium Plan payment option; enter the exact amount confirmed for your project. Do not enter a different amount unless DotWeb has confirmed the change.
Payments are processed securely through Stripe. DotWeb does not store card details.
Statement descriptor
Your card or bank statement may display SECUREDOTWEB for payments made to DotWeb IT Solutions.
Please retain your payment confirmation email so you can easily identify the transaction later. It shows the DotWeb IT Solutions business name, the project details and the amount paid.
