I'm Dave Alden — I live just 35 minutes east of London in Thamesford, and I've watched London small business owners get quoted $3,000-$5,000 for websites that should cost a fraction of that. DMWD Hosting builds you the same quality website for $200 setup + $40/month — Canadian-hosted, no contracts, live in 14 days.
London is Southwestern Ontario's biggest market — which means London small business owners face the most agency competition AND the highest pricing. Every agency in town wants to sell you a $3,000 website and a $200/month maintenance plan. Some are worth it. Most aren't.
DMWD Hosting was built specifically for the London small businesses agencies overlook — the family-run shops, the trades operators, the one-person service businesses, the new restaurants. The ones who need to show up on Google when a London customer searches but can't justify a $5,000 build.
I'm 35 minutes from downtown London. I'm not a faceless Toronto firm or an offshore freelancer. I'm a retired entrepreneur in Thamesford who knows what it takes to rank locally in a city where competition is fierce — and I'll do it for a price that actually makes sense for your business.

Get Started TodayLondon is the largest city in Southwestern Ontario, home to roughly 423,000 residents and the heart of the broader London Metropolitan Area (population ~550,000+). It's a major economic hub spanning manufacturing, healthcare, education (Western University, Fanshawe College), insurance, and a thriving entrepreneurial scene.
But London's size cuts both ways for small business. The market is big, which means more customers — but also more competition, more agencies fighting for those customers, and significantly higher local advertising costs. A small London business trying to compete for online visibility is up against well-funded marketing teams at Western Fair, London Health Sciences Centre, and dozens of mid-sized firms.
That's where DMWD Hosting fits in. I'm not trying to be the biggest agency in London. I'm the affordable, honest, Thamesford-based option for London small business owners who deserve a real website without the agency price tag. Same quality. Better price. Real human you can call.
