Watch a rebuild

  1. Before: built for a desktop, years ago

    Tiny text, no call button, coupons that expired in 2013. On a phone, people give up and call the next shop.

  2. We rebuild it from what’s already true

    Your services, hours, phone number and service area, taken from your current site and public business information. No passwords, no homework.

  3. After: clear on any phone

    A call button always in reach, your hours and area up front, and a quote form that lands in your inbox.

Before: an old desktop-style website for Kestrel Auto and Tire, shrunk to tiny text on a phone After: the rebuilt Kestrel Auto and Tire homepage on a phone, with a large headline and a call button

Illustration. Kestrel Auto & Tire is a fictional business.

Before and after

Drag across the screens to compare, on a laptop, a tablet and a phone. Same business, same facts, rebuilt by Glassfront Web.

Sample designs for fictional businesses.

Kestrel Auto & Tire

Before: an old desktop site, shrunk to fit a phone.

  • A call button that’s always in reach

How it works

You see your new homepage before you pay anything, and nothing goes live until you say so in writing.

  1. Ask

    Ask for a call-back below, or email us. Avid calls you back, Monday to Friday, 9 to 5.

  2. See your free preview

    If you want one, a preview of your new homepage comes by email, built from your current site and public business information.

  3. Say yes

    Sign the short client agreement, pay once by card, and send your logo, photos and any changes.

  4. Check every page

    Review the whole site on a private link. Two rounds of changes are included. It goes live when you reply “approved, go live”.

  5. Live, and yours

    Within 3 business days of your OK and payment. Your domain is in your name, with hosting and edits for 12 months.

    invented reviews, testimonials, facts or numbers on your site. Everything on it must be true. Our own site has no reviews yet, because we won’t make any up.

    Terms: What we promise

You deal with me, not a call centre.

I’m Avid. Glassfront Web is my studio, here in the GTA. I direct every build using modern tools, including AI, and I check every page myself on a real phone before it goes live.

From the first call to launch day, and every edit after, you deal with me.

AvidFounder, Glassfront Web

How I work

  • AI-assisted, founder-directed and tested. The tools are fast. The judgment and the final check are mine.
  • A person sends every email. Drafts can come from software, but every message is reviewed before it goes out.
  • No passwords. We connect your domain with you, step by step.
  • Plain answers. If something isn’t included, you hear it before you pay, with a written price.

This page is the work.

Measured just now, on your device: this page loaded in 0.00 seconds, weighs 0 KB, made 0 requests, set 0 cookies and called 0 trackers.

Built from scratch in plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript, then checked on a real phone. No page builder, no plugins, nothing watching you. Your site gets the same care.

Every file this page loaded, and when each one arrived.

    Questions

    Straight answers. Anything else, ask Avid on the call, or read the service terms.

    Is the preview really free?

    Yes. If you don’t want the site, ignore the email. We delete the preview within 30 days, or sooner if you ask.

    Can I see sites you’ve built for real clients?

    Glassfront Web is new, so the examples on this page are samples for fictional businesses. Your free preview is the real test: you see your own site before you pay anything.

    Will my email keep working?

    Yes. Only the website part of your domain points to the new site. Your email works exactly as it does now.

    I don’t have a website or a domain yet.

    That’s fine. Avid helps you register a domain in your business’s name, so it belongs to you. The yearly domain fee goes to the registrar, not to us.

    Is there a long-term contract?

    No. You pay once for the build, after we both sign a short client agreement. After 12 months, keep hosting and edits for $29 a month + HST, month to month, or take your files. No exit fee.

    What if I want changes later?

    In your first 12 months, 30 minutes of small edits a month are included: hours, prices, text and photos on the pages you have. Unused minutes don’t carry over. Anything more gets a written price first: $50 for each extra 30 minutes, or $150 for an extra page, plus HST.

    What isn’t included?

    Online booking, more than 5 pages and other extra features. Ask, and you’ll get a written price first. We don’t build online stores or take payments on your site.

    Do you use AI?

    Yes, along with other modern tools. Avid directs every build and checks every page himself on a real phone before it goes live. Nothing on your site is invented: you approve every claim before launch.

    Will my site track my customers?

    No. Your site uses no tracking, analytics or advertising cookies. Our hosting provider may set a strictly necessary security cookie for some visitors.

    Do you need my passwords?

    No. Nobody needs your passwords. Avid connects your domain with you, step by step.

    How do I pay?

    Once, by card, through a secure Stripe payment link, after we both sign your client agreement. No deposit. Prices are in Canadian dollars, plus 13% HST.

    Any look you want.

    A plumber and a salon shouldn’t look alike. Keep scrolling, and this page turns into six homepages we designed for fictional local businesses.

    Skip the style samples

    Yes, we can do it all.

    Quiet or loud, classic or playful. Tell Avid the feel you want, and your free preview starts there.
