Looking for website development in Markham? Better Businesses is a Canadian agency helping Markham companies grow through website development that is measured on results, not activity. Markham is home to more than 1,500 technology and life-science companies, and its technology and life sciences businesses compete in one of Ontario's most active markets. We help you win that competition.

A website for a Markham business has to do three things: load instantly on mobile, communicate trust in seconds and make it effortless to call, book or request a quote. We design every page around those outcomes, with the visual quality Markham's technology and life sciences sectors expect.

Every site we build in Markham ships with technical SEO, structured data and a content management system, so your Markham location pages, blog and portfolio can grow without a developer.

We integrate the tools Markham businesses actually use: online booking, quote calculators, CRM and email platforms, live chat, payment processing and analytics that show exactly which pages generate enquiries.

What is website development?

Website development covers the strategy, design, engineering and launch of a business website, including UX design, front-end and back-end development, CMS integration, performance optimization, SEO foundations and ongoing maintenance.

Source: Statistics Canada, 2021 Census of Population (City of Markham (census subdivision)). Census Profile

Markham counted 338,503 residents in the 2021 Census, up 2.9 percent from 328,966 in 2016, living in 110,867 occupied private dwellings on 210.93 square kilometres. Growth is slow, so a local business competes mainly for existing households rather than newcomers.

Those households are affluent and mature, with a median age of 42.4 and a median household income of $104,000 in 2020. Markham's economy is anchored by corporate head offices and technology firms, which means both consumer and business customers expect a polished, professional presence and are willing to pay for quality once they trust a provider.

A website for Markham's $104,000 median income households can present premium services confidently, provided it is fast, mobile-first and easy to navigate for a median age of 42.4.
