📍 Based in Southwestern Ontario — but if you're anywhere in Canada, you're welcome here. Same honest service, same fair price. Reach out anytime.
Tell me a bit about your business and I'll be in touch within 24 hours.
I'm Dave Alden — owner of Digital Marketing With Dave in Thamesford, Ontario. I built DMWD Hosting to do something specific: help new Ontario small business owners build a credible online presence at a price they can actually afford — without the contracts, hidden fees, and bloated agency packages that lock people out of digital marketing entirely.
The $200 starter site isn't a stripped-down placeholder. It's the same SEO-ready, mobile-responsive, schema-optimized build my premium clients get — just without the automation tools a brand-new business doesn't need yet. I make money when you grow. Not before.
Built for new Ontario small businesses. Designed to be the most affordable real website in Southwestern Ontario.
Everything a new business needs. Nothing it doesn't.
You won't find these things bundled together at this price anywhere else in Ontario.
Your website lives on Canadian servers run by an award-winning Ontario hosting company that's been in business since 1995. Your site stays in Canada.
You email or call me — Dave — directly. I respond within 24 hours, every time. No tickets. No outsourced overseas reps. Just me.
Every page is optimized for Google, AI search engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity), and local "near me" searches. Schema markup is included on every site.
Month-to-month. Cancel anytime, keep your domain, and I'll help you migrate if you ever leave. I earn your business each month — that's how it should be.
Need a chatbot? AI voice agent? Monthly blogs? Google Business Profile help? Add what you need, when you need it. Never pay for tools you're not using.
I'm in Thamesford. I serve Oxford, Middlesex, Elgin, and Perth counties. When you have a question, you're talking to a neighbour, not a call centre.

Don't take my word for it — here's a real client result from Southwestern Ontario.
📍 Oxford County, Ontario
Nate runs a one-man excavating operation serving Oxford County. He had no website, no Google presence, and was getting all his work through word of mouth — which was slowing down.
After a full site build with 24 service area pages, schema markup, and Google Business Profile optimization, Nate landed in the Google Maps top-3 pack for excavating searches in his area.

I'm retired, but I'm not done working. I started Digital Marketing With Dave because I watched too many great small business owners give up on getting online — priced out by agencies charging thousands for what should cost hundreds.
This isn't a side hustle. It's a real, growing business with real clients across Southwestern Ontario. But it's built on a simple promise: do honest work, charge fair prices, and help people who need it most. I don't have salespeople. I don't have a marketing team. You get me.
