I'm Dave Alden — I grew up on a farm near Mitchell, right in the heart of Perth County. St. Marys is home turf for me. Now I build real Canadian-hosted websites for St. Marys small businesses for $200 setup + $40/month. No contracts. No agency markup. Just a fellow Perth County person helping local businesses get found online.
St. Marys earns its nickname — the Stonetown. The limestone heritage buildings along Water Street and the historic downtown make it one of Southwestern Ontario's most distinctive small cities. Roughly 7,500 residents, a proud agricultural heritage, and a business community that runs deep in the community fabric.
But being distinctive doesn't automatically translate to being found online. Many St. Marys businesses — the trades, the services, the shops that keep the downtown alive — are invisible to anyone searching Google from Stratford, London, or Kitchener. They're doing great work. Nobody outside their existing customer base knows it.
That's the gap DMWD Hosting closes. I'm from Perth County. I know St. Marys. I build affordable, Canadian-hosted websites that put St. Marys small businesses on the map — literally. $200 setup. $40/month. No contracts. Live in 14 days.

Get Started TodaySt. Marys is a small city of roughly 7,500 residents in Perth County, situated at the junction of the Thames River and Trout Creek. Known as the Stonetown for its distinctive limestone architecture, St. Marys is one of Ontario's best-preserved Victorian-era downtowns and home to the world's largest outdoor freshwater swimming pool.
The local economy blends agriculture, light manufacturing, and a tight-knit service sector. St. Marys sits near the intersection of Highway 7 and Highway 19, giving it reasonable access to both Stratford (20 minutes north) and London (45 minutes south). That corridor is where most customer search traffic flows — and where St. Marys businesses need to show up.
I grew up in Perth County and know St. Marys well. DMWD Hosting was built for exactly the kind of small businesses that make the Stonetown worth visiting — and worth living in. Affordable, hand-coded, Canadian-hosted websites that actually rank in local searches.
