"Do I own my website and code?"

"Yes, 100%. Everything we build is yours — the design, the code, the content. No lock-in, no proprietary systems. If you ever want to move on, you take everything with you."

"I already have a website. Can you rebuild it?"

"Absolutely. Most of our work is replacing underperforming template sites with custom builds. We'll migrate your content, preserve your SEO rankings, and handle the entire transition."

"How long does a project take?"

"Typically 2–5 weeks depending on the package. Launch sites run 2–3 weeks, Fortify projects 3–5 weeks, and Arsenal builds 4–8 weeks. We'll give you a clear timeline before we start."

"What happens after launch?"

"Every project includes a bug-fix window (7–14 days depending on the package) to catch anything we missed. After that, the site is yours to run. If you want ongoing help, we offer monthly maintenance starting at $149/mo."

"What does monthly maintenance include?"

"Software updates, security monitoring, daily backups, and up to 1 hour of content changes per month. It's optional — your site will work fine without it, but it keeps things secure and current."

"Do I need to provide the content?"

"We'll need your input on messaging and any specific copy you want, but we guide you through the whole process. We can also help with copywriting and source stock photography if needed."

"Will my site work on phones and tablets?"

"Every site we build is fully responsive from day one. We design mobile-first and test across devices and browsers before launch."

"What about hosting and domains?"

"We handle the full setup — hosting, domain configuration, SSL certificates, and email. All included in your package price, no hidden fees."

"Do you only work with businesses in Sault Ste. Marie?"

"We're based in the Soo and love working with local businesses, but we take on clients across Northern Ontario and beyond. Everything is handled remotely — we just happen to live here."

The Brief

The Challenge

Real estate sites are either giant IDX portals with zero personality, or pretty brochure sites with no listings. The goal was to build something that does both — showcases featured properties beautifully while establishing the agents as the local market experts.

What We Delivered

Mobile-first responsive design
IDX/MLS listing integration

Testimonials

What Our Clients Say

★★★★★

"Sarah made our first home purchase completely stress-free. She knew the market inside and out, found us a place we love, and negotiated a price we didn't think was possible. Can't recommend Lakeview enough."

Mike & Rachel D.

Bought in Bay View Heights

★★★★★

"We had our home listed with another agency for 6 months with no luck. Switched to Lakeview and David had it sold in 3 weeks — above asking. The staging and photography made all the difference."

Key Features

What Makes It Work

Listing Showcase

Featured properties displayed with professional photography, key details, and clear CTAs. The IDX feed handles the full MLS, but featured listings get the premium treatment.

Dual Funnels

Separate conversion paths for buyers (browse → inquire → tour) and sellers (valuation → consultation → list). Each audience gets their own entry point and CTA.

Market Authority

Stats, testimonials, and neighbourhood guides position the agents as local experts. Buyers want an agent who knows the streets — the site proves it.

Our Approach

How We Built It

Market Positioning

Identified what local buyers and sellers search for: neighbourhood info, recent sales, and agent reviews. Built content strategy around those queries.

Visual Hierarchy

Listings lead with photos and price — the two things that stop a scroll. Agent credibility builds through stats and testimonials as visitors explore deeper.

Lead Capture

Multiple conversion points: listing inquiries, free valuations, newsletter signups, and direct agent contact. No page is a dead end.

Real Estate SEO

Schema markup for RealEstateAgent and Residence types. Optimized for 'homes for sale Sault Ste. Marie' and neighbourhood-specific queries.
