View Our Website Portfolio Serving Barrie and Simcoe County remotely from our Lively, Ontario headquarters.
Headquartered in Lively, Greater Sudbury. Serving Barrie / Simcoe County, Vaughan / York Region, Northern Ontario, and businesses across Ontario.
Barrie has grown quickly, and so has the competition for local customers searching from their phones. Many Simcoe County businesses still rely on a site built years ago, a DIY builder page, or only a social media profile. That makes it harder for a homeowner in Innisfil or a facilities manager in Orillia to understand what you do and contact you.
We build websites that explain your services clearly, show the communities you serve along the Highway 400 and Lake Simcoe corridor, and make calling or requesting a quote easy. Content is structured so search engines and AI-powered search tools can understand your business accurately.
Because Nickel City Tech Solutions is also a managed IT provider, the technical work many designers hand off—domain and DNS, business email, hosting, security and backups—stays with the same team. If you also need business IT help in the region, see our IT Support Barrie page.

Frequently asked questions
Do you have an office in Barrie?
No. Nickel City Tech Solutions is headquartered in Lively, Ontario. We deliver website projects for Barrie and Simcoe County businesses remotely through video meetings, shared drafts and email, which is how most website work runs well anyway. Scheduled in-person visits can be arranged when a project genuinely needs one.
What kinds of Barrie businesses do you build websites for?
Trades and home services, clinics, professional offices, retailers, hospitality and B2B service companies across Barrie, Innisfil, Bradford West Gwillimbury, Springwater, Essa, Oro-Medonte and Orillia. Each site is planned around the services you sell and the communities you actually serve.
Can you redesign my existing Barrie website without losing search visibility?
We follow an SEO-preserving process: inventory existing URLs, keep them where possible, map changes to 301 redirects, carry over titles and structured data, and monitor Google Search Console after launch. Nobody can guarantee rankings, but careful migration avoids the common causes of lost traffic.
Do you build custom web applications and portals too?
Yes. Beyond marketing websites we build booking workflows, client portals, dashboards and integrations. See our Website Developer page and portfolio for examples of custom web applications we've built.
How is pricing handled?
After a free consultation we send a written scope and quote for the agreed work, so you know the cost before anything starts. Price depends on page count, content, integrations and SEO needs.
Can you look after hosting, domain and maintenance after launch?
Yes. We can manage domain and DNS, business email records, hosting, SSL, backups, updates and security monitoring, and set up Google Analytics and Search Console at launch.
