Included
A focused, modern website
Up to five public pages, mobile-first structure, existing-content extraction, human-reviewed drafting, two consolidated revision rounds, one clear non-sensitive inquiry path, and defined acceptance.
Digital Baseline Proposed paid design-partner pilot
A modern online presence—without the agency project.
A focused website, documented ownership, and managed care for busy local professionals. The proposed pilot begins with a clear comparison to what you already spend—and asks for as little of your time as the work allows.
Planning-stage offer. It is not open for purchase until contract, privacy, payment, support, ownership, and handoff terms complete owner and professional review. We may recommend keeping your current setup.
The working hypothesis 01 / 06
A fixed baseline.
Measured before it scales.
One deliberately narrow cohort. Transparent current-spend comparison. No pretending the commercial model is settled before the evidence exists.
ModernizationCAD 995proposed setup
Managed careCAD 229proposed monthly
Proposed paid design-partner model over 12 months, plus applicable tax—not an approved public offer. Deposit, term, cancellation/buyout, support, edits, ownership, and handoff require final owner, accountant, counsel, and delivery approval before anyone can purchase it.
The Digital Baseline 02 / 06
Four promises.
Four hard edges.
Every included item needs evidence or a stated exception. The useful part is not a longer feature list; it is knowing exactly where responsibility begins and ends.
Included
Findability and technical foundations
Metadata, index controls, sitemap, appropriate structured data, local-profile consistency review, least-data measurement where appropriate, accessibility evidence, performance, links, certificates, and headers.
Pilot hypothesis
Care with a defined change path
Hosting on the approved stack, dated technical checks, inquiry-path testing, bounded support, and a proposed 30-minute simple-edit allowance with no rollover. Final service targets remain under review.
Domain, DNS, vendors, access, licences, backup, rollback, and handoff are documented.
Boundary
Separate—or not offered
New pages, layouts, integrations, campaigns, major copy, urgent work, ecommerce, portals, sensitive forms, and custom apps are separate or declined. Cybersecurity is not a paid offer until its independent gates are approved.
Independent study 03 / 06
Richmond, British Columbia
Direction you can see.
Claims you can inspect.
Not just a new coat of paint. The study asks whether a clearer promise, stronger service paths, better proof, and fewer decisions can improve the way a professional practice introduces itself.
Independent redesign study · No. 001
Grandview
Professional Corp.
A public-site concept exploring how a local CPA practice could move from a compact general introduction to a more specific, bilingual, service-led inquiry experience.
Concept only. Independent study, not a commissioned client launch.
01PositioningFrom broad corporate accounting language to a clear Richmond CPA promise.
02FindabilityService, location, language, and CRA-support terms move into the visible hierarchy.
03Inquiry pathThe concept proposes a clearer way to identify the right service and prepare useful context before reaching out.
What this proves: design and content direction—not business results. This independent concept was built from public information for review and comparison; it is not presented as a commissioned client launch or a performance claim.
The comparison first 04 / 06
Replace only what earns its replacement.
Before recommending a rebuild, we inventory the real setup and separate cash from owner time.
What we inventory
- 01Domain, DNS, hosting, and builder
- 02Maintenance and emergency fixes
- 03Listings, analytics, booking, and forms
- 04What can actually be cancelled
- 05Owner time, shown separately from cash
What you receive
- 01First-year and steady-state cash cost
- 02Retain, replace, and consolidate map
- 03A fixed checklist and owner decisions
- 04Documented ownership and exit path
- 05An honest “keep it” when change is not sensible
The working method 05 / 06
Four decisions.
Not forty meetings.
The pilot measures active owner minutes instead of quietly shifting agency work back to you. The targets are a 90-minute median and a 120-minute 90th percentile, with annotated exceptions retained in the cohort—not yet a guarantee.

Look closely
Compare
We inventory the current setup, verified cash costs, ownership, and visible gaps. If replacement is not sensible, we say so. - 2
Make the call
Decide
You receive one fixed scope, current-versus-proposed cash comparison, retained costs, exceptions, and a consolidated decision packet. - 3
Review the facts
Approve
We draft and build from verified material. You approve facts and key direction in two consolidated rounds before a human-authorized launch. - 4
Keep a record
Maintain
Care follows a dated checklist. Changes, failures, owner decisions, and handoff details stay recorded rather than disappearing into a subscription.
The fit 06 / 06
Narrow
on purpose.
This is a focused pilot for one market and one kind of practical website problem—not a general invitation to every digital project.
Strong pilot fit
A trust-led Metro Vancouver practice with one decision-maker.
- Established professional practice with roughly 1–10 staff
- Referrals, local search, and credibility matter
- Five focused pages can explain the business
- One non-sensitive inquiry path is enough
- Saved owner effort and accountable care matter more than DIY control
Not this pilot
Complex, sensitive, or guaranteed-outcome work needs another model.
- Ecommerce, portals, custom apps, or frequent publishing
- Committee approvals or many locations
- Sensitive intake or regulated transaction workflows
- Complex integrations or organization-wide security work
- Guaranteed rankings, leads, revenue, compliance, uptime, or security
Margin notes
Questions worth asking before anything is sold.
Commercial terms are still under review. Interest is welcome; purchase is not available until the owner and professional gates close.
What is the Digital Baseline?＋
It is a proposed fixed checklist for a focused website, clear inquiry path, local-search foundations, documented ownership, and managed technical care. Each required item produces evidence or a stated exception.
Is CAD 995 + 229/month a final public price?＋
No. It is the first pilot hypothesis over 12 months. Taxes, deposit, term, cancellation/buyout, support, edits, ownership, and handoff require final owner, accountant, counsel, and delivery approval before sale.
Will this stay close to what we already spend?＋
That is the test, not a guarantee. We separate verified current cash costs, retained costs, cancellable costs, first-year cash, and steady-state cash. Owner time is shown separately. Above a 25% steady-state premium, we do not call it cost-near.
Is the 90-minute owner-time target guaranteed?＋
No. The pilot targets a 90-minute median and a 120-minute 90th percentile across intake, consolidated decisions, and acceptance. Exceptions are annotated but remain in the cohort statistics. A firmer promise requires at least five completed launches that meet the target.
Do we keep our domain and get a handoff?＋
That is the required direction: client-controlled domain and recovery, documented accounts and licences, disclosed export limits, and a defined exit package. Final IP, handoff, cancellation, and buyout wording still requires counsel approval.
Is cybersecurity included?＋
No. Secure operation within the supported web stack is baseline workmanship. Broader Hatchway cybersecurity services are separate and unavailable as a paid offer until their qualifications, scope, contract, evidence, conflict, insurance, and tooling gates are approved.
