One of six promises

One person answers

Warren Groom, Toronto. Twenty years of this, one business at a time. The person you talk to is the person who does the work, and the one who answers when something needs attention.

No account manager, no portal, no “we’ll get back to you within 3 to 5 business days.” You email me. I know your site because I built it, and I’m the one who looks after it.

What that means in practice

One conversation, start to finish. The person who scopes the project designs it, builds it, launches it and stays on. Nothing is lost in a hand-off because there isn’t one.

Plain answers. Clients describe me as patient with less technical people and clear about what’s being done and why. You’ll never be made to feel you should already know something.

When something needs attention, you email a person who can fix it, not a queue that will route it.

Remote by default. Most of my clients are across Canada, the US and the UK. A staging site you can see and regular check-ins make distance irrelevant.

Think of it as a department, not a supplier

For a business that works in person and has nobody in-house for digital, I become the online growth arm: the one accountable person for being found, trusted and called in every place you operate, and for keeping it that way. Budget-wise it’s a fraction of a hire; attention-wise it’s a specialist who only does this.

Who I am

Building websites since 2005, hand-building WordPress sites since 2008. Norwich, then Toronto since 2009. Clients include Procurify, Aukema & Associates and a portable sanitation group operating across North America, plus a few agencies who use me as their quiet web department.

Questions people ask me about this

I’m an agency. How does working with you go? I act as the quiet web department for a few agencies: white-label or client-facing, your call, NDAs standard, no minimums, month-to-month care you can resell. This site is written for businesses; the fastest route for an agency is to email me. What do you need from us to quote properly? Five things: what the site has to do for the business and what success looks like a year after launch; who will edit it and what it must connect to; whether designs or brand assets exist; who provides words and photos and when; and a rough budget and timeline. Open questions are fine, stated openly. Who is Warren Groom? A Toronto web developer who has built websites since 2005 and hand-built WordPress sites since 2008, working as the online growth arm for businesses that do their real work in person. One person: the one you talk to is the one who does the work and answers when something needs attention.
