If you're looking for a web designer Toronto businesses can rely on without paying agency rates, I'd like to help. I'm Peter, a freelance web designer and developer with more than ten years of experience and over 200 completed projects. I work remotely with small businesses, non-profits and agencies across Toronto and the GTA, including Mississauga, Brampton, Markham, Vaughan, Oakville and Scarborough. You work with me directly, from the first call to launch and ongoing support.
A web designer Toronto organisations can trust with AODA
Under Ontario's Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA), the public sector and private or non-profit organisations with 50 or more employees must make their websites meet WCAG 2.0 Level AA. Even if you're smaller, an accessible site reaches more customers and is easier for everyone to use. I build to WCAG from the start, with proper headings, colour contrast, keyboard navigation, labelled forms, alt text and accessible menus, and I can audit and fix existing sites. See website accessibility, and Ontario's guidance on making websites accessible.
Work that moves while you sleep
I'm based in Nairobi, seven to eight hours ahead of Toronto depending on daylight saving. We meet in your morning, which is my afternoon, and I keep working after that. Feedback you send at the end of your day is often done by the next morning, which helps keep projects on schedule.
What I build for Toronto businesses
- Business websites for professional services, clinics, trades, real estate and consultants
- Shopify and WooCommerce stores priced in CAD with Ontario HST and Canadian shipping set up
- Non-profit websites with donation and volunteer forms
- Booking systems for appointments and classes
- Multilingual sites for Toronto's many language communities, including French versions
- White-label development for GTA agencies
- Ongoing maintenance, security and content updates
Privacy and trust
I build forms that collect only what you need, add consent and privacy links in line with PIPEDA expectations, configure cookie consent for analytics and ad pixels, and secure the site with SSL. Your domain, whether .ca or .com, and your hosting stay in your name.
How to choose a web designer in Toronto
- Ask how they build and test for WCAG 2.0/2.1 AA.
