The EXPERIENCED web firm
As of July, 2020, we have upgraded our web hosting to include Enhanced Server Resources, Super-fast Premium Servers, Increased Performance, and a Greater Number of Allocated Resources. We are not raising our rates, but are providing these benefits to our existing web hosting clientelle at no additional charge.
We've been building websites to serve all of Eastern Ontario for over twenty years. By using authored html, (rather than generated) your website will load faster, rank higher, and be more unique.
The time-tested method of authoring code (also known as hard coded) results in faster pages which function correctly. This results in a higher-ranking website that more people may find, and which will work on virtually any browser or device out there.
Since 1996, we've been hand-authoring web pages to serve clients all over North America. We prefer to serve customers located in Eastern Ontario. Whether your business is located in Alexandria, Arnprior, Belleville, Brockville, Cornwall, Gananoque, Kemptville, Kingston, Merrickville, Ottawa, Perth, Peterborough, Renfrew or Smiths Falls, we can build you a fast loading, custom, responsive website that will bring your business the attention it deserves.
A note to our customers: Although we provide website hosting, we are unable to assist you with your website if it is one you developed and maintain. We provide email accounts, but also cannot assist with email settings on equipment at your end. (other than providing the initial settings to use) If you have a problem, we will establish that the mail server is functioning properly and let you know, and in the unlikely event that it isn't, we'll get things working again quickly.
I was really pumped (pun intended) to see what John had come up with for my newly launched fuelpumpsupply.com site.
I was not let down, The results surpassed my expectations.Working with John was easy and things progressed very quickly, best of all cost came in at the LOW end of the estimate ! I look forward to having John revamp my other website in the very near future.
The Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs District 1 Snowmobile Association uses John Lister (of Webberman), not only as the webmaster that developed our site, but also for instant updates to our site that could change daily due to trail and weather conditions.
One of our most popular projects, which was a joint project with John Lister, Tourism Ontario and the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs office, was the development of the Trail Loops marketing project and art work to market our trails to North American Snowmobilers. John developed the now catchy cereal box Trail Loops cover which is posted on our website and on our snowmobile trailers that travel throughout District 1, as we go to events, shows and fairs. Thousands of visitors have visited our website, with many requesting more info about this innovative Trail Loops trip planner
I had been searching for someone to redesign my website and implement an SEO plan. John was an absolute pleasure to work with. His patience, creative ability, and efficient work ethic far exceed my expectations. Any ideas I had he would expand on them to make them better and more search engine friendly. He constantly showed a positive attitude and made me feel like my concerns and website were his first priority. Only weeks following the site going live we have already seen a significant improvement in the traffic to our site as a result of his SEO efforts.
We had some set backs with the old website and had to go a different direction.
I just saw a sneak peek of what my new web designer (Webberman) has done and I must say the Cue Sport Nation website is looking sharp.
John is well-organized, proficient and very professional. John's work reflects his multi-talents and dedication to each and every one of his clients. The design of your website will either be the starting point of your business or the collapse of it. John puts much of his energy and determination in creating the perfect website tailored to your business. I especially appreciate the service he continues to provide even after he has completed your website. John applies all his talent to the task at hand and I would recommend John to anyone looking for a detailed website.
We are thrilled with the web page John developed for our new clinic, Cornwall Spine Care Plus+.
John worked with us, tying in his creativity and expertise with our main vision, to create an innovative and professional design.
Thanks again John!
John Lister (of Webberman), is one of the main reasons for our success. John has been our website developer and hosting provider for our website since the spring of 1999. He is always ready and willing to assist us with changes to our website on a moments notice without hesitation.
We have received numerous telephone calls in regards to our website's display and layout from total strangers who just wanted to let us know that they loved our website. This proves to us only one thing, That we have the best web developer in the business. You've done a great job, John, taking care of us. Working with you has not only been a privilege, it's also provided peace of mind.
The main advantage to choosing us to develop your website using professional html, css and js code. We NEVER generate code!
Generated code often results in serious problems. It may be bloated code the search engines can't read, or sites that display wrong or don't work properly on all devices. For example, Wordpress plugins are often developed by hobbyists, and there is no support available when things stop working.
Because all of our code is professionally authored, there is nothing to break down. There is no platform it runs on, other than your browser. But this is only one of the many reasons to choose us.
In addition to web design, we provide search engine optimizing, site maintance, reliable web hosting, email and more. The following graphs show what percentage of addition services our website clients enjoy:

Our Policies and Terms of Use
Web Development
Webberman.ca, otherwise referred to as "we" or "us", reserve the right to refuse or terminate a customer relationship at any time, and for any reason. This protects other clients who are sharing the same server space, and also entitles us to choose who we wish to have as clients. For example, we refuse to develop websites with pornographic or illegal content, or those that promote hate.
Web Hosting
We host websites for our own clients, to have a place where the website we have developed may be hosted in a secure, fast environment. As an additional security measure, all of our clients' websites share a common IP address which we have purchased in order to eliminate potential problems which may happen with a shared hosting environment. For this reason, we do not make our website hosting available to third party web developers, as that could open a door that could adversely affect all of our clients on our shared IP address.
Cancellation
If for any reason you wish to terminate your ongoing hosting with us, we require a minimum thirty (30) days notice BEFORE your billing period arrives. This is because web hosting is most economical when prepaid one year in advance. Because of this, no refunds are available for early cancellation. If we don't hear from you by the end of your billing cycle, we renew the hosting and bill one month in advance. If we are also renewing your domain each year, the same holds true. You cannot cancel AFTER we have renewed it, and if you fail to cancel in time, you will still be required to pay for the coming year.
Privacy Policy
Our customers' business and their dealings with us is their own business. We will never share any knowledge or other information about any client with anyone else, and all email addresses are never used for marketing or any other purpose. We don't even keep your passwords on file, to increase security and respect privacy. We do have the right to show your website in our portfolio. This is the only way anyone will see that you have dealt with us to develop your website.
Website Development Charges
We will discuss your website needs and offer a quote. Providing you do not change or add to what we discussed, we will honor the quoted amount in all cases. We do require a 50% deposit in order to get started on your website. As we progress, we will show you how it is coming along, in order to provide you with a way to request changes as your website is built. In some cases, we may request an interim payment, especially if a lot of work is required, or if you have added to the original amount of work required. If this happens, we will quote for the completion cost and may ask for an interim payment. Once complete (or nearly complete) we will invoice you for the balance. Because some business owners stall the completion by being slow to provide the final information, we will consider your website "completed" once it is able to be put online. If there are a few additional items to complete, we will do so with no further charge, providing they are things that we had originally quoted on.
Accuracy and Liability
Although we pay great attention to accuracy, some mistakes may happen from time to time. Your only recourse is to let us know if we have made an error or omission, and we will correct it as fast as possible. For example, if we update your website with a wrong price, our only responsibility will be to correct the error in a timely manner. We accept no further liability.
Third Party Content
In some cases, we will be asked to create a website that uses some content from a third party. For example, a real estate website may show a feed from a third party which shows their listings, or the weather may be shown through a third party source. If a third party discontinues a page or application, we have no control over it, other than to remove the feature, unless there is an updated version provided to us. Also, any links to outside websites are outside of our control, and we cannot guarantee other website page addresses won't change. If you let us know, we will try and find an updated link, or we can remove the link from your website until you can provide us with an updated one. We cannot and do not monitor every link to ensure it is working. You need to look at your own website from time to time and let us know if a link has stopped functioning.
Intellectual Property
When we are sent content from a client, we assume they are the copyright owners, or have a license to use such materials. If we are approached for using someone else's copyrighted content, which you have provided to us, our only responsibility will be to remove said content from your website. We have access to image libraries, so before you send a photo you found on Google, perhaps we can find one that has copyright clearance to be used on your website. The same stipulation applies to video or any other content you might ask us to include on your website.
Licensing
When we develop your website, we are the copyright holders for the coding and structural elements. We grant you a licence to use that code as a part of your website, while you retain copyright of all of your own content. For this reason, you may not sell, give, or share our code with another party, or use it to create another website without our consent.
