Meet ELO AI.
The engine behind every site.

ELO AI is our own AI, designed from the ground up for one job: building websites and apps. It's powered by the world's leading AI models and runs on our own servers too, then tuned by us for hard coding, website development and app development, with real developers checking every result.

Runs on both

On top of the models above, ELO AI runs on infrastructure we operate ourselves, with our own instructions, checks and tuning built for website and app work.

"Powered by" means ELO AI uses these companies' models and hardware together with our own servers, plus our own instructions and checks for web and app work. Names and logos belong to their owners. ELO Websites is independent and not affiliated with or endorsed by them.

What we build

Every site is built from scratch, around your business.

Custom design

No drag-and-drop templates. Every layout is designed around your business and what your customers need to see first.

Responsive

Desktop, tablet, phone — your site adapts to every screen without losing its layout, its speed, or its polish.

Subtle motion

Subtle, tasteful motion that makes a site feel alive — without slowing it down or getting in the way.

Fast by default

Optimized code and assets mean your visitors see your site instantly — not a loading spinner.

Security-first

Built with security-conscious practices from the ground up, so your site isn't an easy target.

Hosting that just works

With our hosting plan, we monitor uptime, renew certificates, and keep your site online around the clock.

Simple pricing

Three plans. No surprises.

Not sure which plan fits? Answer two quick questions.

Do you already have hosting & a domain sorted out?

View full details

This plan is exactly what it sounds like: we design and build your fully custom website, then hand you the finished source code, in full. From that point on, it's entirely yours to do with as you like — but it also means it's entirely yours to run. We don't touch a server, don't manage a domain, and don't handle anything on the technical side once it's in your hands. Our involvement ends at delivery.

What's hosting?

Hosting is the service that stores your website's files and keeps it reachable online, 24/7. Without it, your site has nowhere to live — you'll need to arrange this yourself with a hosting provider.

What's a domain?

Your domain is your web address — like yourbusiness.com. You'll register and manage this yourself, separately from us.

You own it, outright — and you run it, outright.

Important

This is a hands-off-for-us plan by design: we handle nothing server-side. Once we hand over your source code, we no longer control the server, hosting, DNS, or traffic — so we can't secure, back up, or monitor your site going forward. Getting it online, and keeping it online and secure, becomes your responsibility (or whoever you hire to manage it).

You run your business. We handle the website — all of it.

With this plan, we don't just build your website — we run it for you. Your site lives on our servers, under our management, so you never have to set up hosting, buy a certificate, or figure out how any of it works. All of the hosting and all of the security happen entirely on our end. If a certificate needs renewing, a backup needs taking, or something needs fixing, that's on us — you won't even know it happened.

What's hosting?

Hosting is the service that stores your website and keeps it accessible online. It's included here, and it's fully in our hands — you never have to think about it.

What do you manage?

Nothing. No server, no hosting panel, no security settings, no renewals. That all lives on our end, so you can worry about nothing online and focus on running your business.

View full details

We build it. We host it. We help keep it active.

Website→ Hosting→ Maintenance→ Promotion→ Growth

This is our most involved plan — everything in Website + Hosting, plus priority treatment if anything goes wrong and an ongoing push to get your business seen. We build it, we host it, and we actively work to keep it active in front of new customers.

What happens if something goes down?

Growth plan clients get priority. If there's ever a server issue or outage, restoring your site is the first thing we handle — you're not waiting in line behind everyone else.

What counts as "promotion"?

Graphics and website messaging for sales, new products, seasonal moments, special offers, and business announcements — designed and delivered on a monthly basis, and posted out to help pull in attention.

How does a promotion cycle work?

Each promotional push runs for 30 days. To keep a promotion running past that, it can be renewed for an extra $50 — that cost reflects the real time it takes to keep putting content out and reaching new people, work that goes beyond the flat monthly plan.

What do you manage?

Nothing technical, and nothing creative you don't want to. We handle hosting, security, maintenance, and the promotional content itself.

  • SSL / HTTPS certificates, kept current
  • Regular backups & security-conscious maintenance
  • Custom domain management
  • Website updates & performance monitoring
  • Direct technical support
  • Priority restoration if the server ever goes down
  • Social media promotional graphics
  • Promotional campaign planning
  • Monthly promotional content
  • Business announcement graphics
  • Special offer & sale graphics
  • Seasonal promotion graphics
  • Website promotion banners & on-site CTAs
  • 30-day promotion cycles (renewable for +$50)

Good to know

We don't guarantee customers, sales, followers, or search rankings — no honest studio can, and we won't pretend otherwise. Running posts and campaigns that actually pull in new customers takes real, ongoing effort, which is why renewing a promotion past its 30 days costs an extra $50 rather than being automatic. What we do guarantee is consistent, professional promotional content and a website kept aligned with it. And a well-built, actively promoted website is still worth having on its own — in a digital world, it's often the first place potential customers find you, whether or not a specific push turns into a specific sale. Paid advertising spend, if you ever want it, is separate unless we've agreed on that specifically.

A note on pricing

We understand the numbers can look high at first glance. Consider what a website really replaces: hiring someone to design, build, secure and maintain your online presence would cost far more every week. With ELO Websites you get a dedicated team handling all of it, for a fraction of that cost, with clear pricing and no surprises.

All prices are in Canadian dollars and exclude applicable taxes. Final scope and price are confirmed in your written quote.

Why custom?

Why we build every site from scratch.

Your business isn't a template.

Template builders give every business the same bones: the same layout, the same navigation, the same stock photos and stock copy. We design around yours, starting with what your customers need to see first and how they actually move through your site.

We don't build websites. We build websites for the business.

A restaurant and a barbershop don't need the same site. A restaurant puts its menu and reservations up front, a barbershop puts booking first, a shop leads with its products, and a service business makes it easy to ask for a quote. We lay yours out around what your customers came to do.

Why local businesses pick ELO

Why pick us?

Most customers look you up on their phone before they ever walk in or call. If your site is missing, outdated or hard to use, they move on to the next business. We build you a site that turns those searches into calls, visits and orders, at a price a local business can actually afford.

Customers find you, then call you

People check a business on their phone first. Your site puts your hours, services or menu and a tap-to-call button right where they're looking, so interest turns into a real contact.

Priced for local business

A genuinely custom site without the big agency bill. Plans are listed on this page in Canadian dollars, and you get a written quote before we start. The price on it is the price you pay.

Built around your business

No templates and no copy-paste. Tell us what you picture and we build it. You see everything and approve it before the public does.

Changes, handled

We revise your site until you're happy with it, at no extra cost. On the Hosting and Growth plans, small updates like new hours, a new menu or a sale are included. Just send them over.

Zero tech headaches

Hosting, security, certificates and backups can all be handled for you, and we'll explain any of it in plain English. Your site is built to load fast and look sharp on every screen.

A real person replies

You talk straight to the three founders who build your site. No call centre, no account manager. We reply to every message within 24 hours.

If we called you, here's why.

We only call businesses that caught our eye and have real potential. It doesn't mean your business is doing anything wrong. Today, when a tourist or a local wants a quick bite or a service, they search on their phone before they ever walk in.

If you don't have a website, those people can't find you as easily. We can't promise sales, but we can help make sure you show up when they look.

What happens after you contact us

Seven steps. One studio.

No account managers, no black box. Here's exactly what happens from your first message to your site going live — and beyond.

01

Tell us about your business

You reach out — email, phone, or the form below. Tell us what you do, who your customers are, and what you need.

02

We plan the experience

We work out what your site actually needs to do — what customers should see first, and how they should move through it.

03

We design

A layout built specifically around your business — not a theme, not a page-builder template.

04

We build

The design becomes a real, working website — hand-coded, responsive, and fast.

05

You review

You walk through the site before anything goes live. We adjust based on your feedback — it's your business, your call.

06

We launch

Your site goes live at your domain. With Website + Hosting or Growth, we handle every technical part of that.

07

We keep it running — or help you grow

With a hosting or growth plan, we don't disappear after launch. We keep the site secure and, on Growth, keep it actively promoted.

Who's behind it

Three founders. One studio.

We're a young, software-focused design studio building modern digital experiences for businesses that deserve better than a template. Every site we build is designed around the business it represents — nothing outsourced, nothing off-the-shelf.

Who we are

Ethan Deering, Lucas Collins, and Owen Careen — the three co-founders and developers behind ELO Websites. We handle every part of a project ourselves: design, development, hosting, and support. Nothing outsourced, nothing templated.

02

What we do

We build fully custom websites for local businesses, then — if you want it — host them, maintain them, and help promote them. Three plans, one studio, no handoffs to someone else along the way.

03

Why we started ELO

Too many local businesses were stuck choosing between an expensive agency and a generic template builder, with nothing solid in between. We started ELO to offer real, custom-built websites at a price that actually makes sense for a small business.

04

How we work

We learn about your business, plan the site around your customers, design it, build it, and walk you through it before it ever goes live. You're involved at every stage — not just the first and last.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

How much does a website cost?

Our Website plan is $399 CAD one-time. Website + Hosting is $799 CAD plus $149 CAD per month. Website + Growth is $1,250 CAD plus $249 CAD per month. On the monthly plans, the first month is charged upfront together with the setup fee. See the Plans section for the full details of each.

Are there any extra costs?

Plan prices exclude applicable taxes, and you get a written quote before we start. On Website + Growth, a promotion runs for 30 days and renewing it costs $50. Ad platform spend is separate because we don't buy ads. On the Website plan, you arrange and pay for your own hosting and domain.

Do you use templates?

No. Every site is custom designed and built for your business, with unlimited pages and a responsive layout.

Will I see the site before it goes live?

Yes. You see everything and approve it before the public does. If something isn't right, we keep working on it until you're happy, at no extra cost. On the Hosting and Growth plans, small updates after launch are included too. On the Website plan, our work ends when we hand over the finished site.

Will it work well on phones?

Yes. Every site is responsive, so it adapts to phones, tablets and computers, and it's built to load quickly. Your hours, your services or menu and a tap-to-call button sit where people look first.

Who owns my website?

On the Website plan, we hand over your finished source code in full and it's entirely yours. Because we then no longer control the server, hosting, or domain, keeping the site online and secure becomes your responsibility.

Do I need hosting and a domain already?

Only on the Website plan. If you'd rather not deal with that, the hosted plans handle it for us to manage. Not sure which fits? Use the two-question plan finder in the Plans section.

What does "promotion" include?

On Website + Growth, we create and manage recurring promotional content such as sales, new products or services, seasonal events, special offers and announcements. We don't buy ads or guarantee results.

I already have a website. Can you help?

Yes. Send us your current site and we'll point out 2 to 3 concrete things likely costing you customers, with no charge. See the audit section above.

Can you add takeout, delivery or phone ordering?

Yes. If your business takes takeout, delivery or call-in orders, we can add a tap-to-call button and link your DoorDash, Uber Eats or other ordering pages right on your site. You'll need your own account with those services, and we link your customers straight to them.

How long does it take?

Most sites take about 2 to 3 weeks from the day we have what we need from you. Bigger projects can take longer, and we'll tell you up front.

What do you need from me?

Your logo if you have one, any photos you'd like used, your hours and contact details, and the basics of what you offer (a menu, a service list or your products). If you're missing some of it, tell us and we'll work with what you've got.

How fast will you reply?

Within 24 hours. You'll hear back from one of the three founders, not a sales team.

Where do you work?

We're based in Newfoundland & Labrador and work with local businesses in St. John's, Mount Pearl, Paradise, Conception Bay South and across the province.
