E-mail Print

We have been serving the Durham Region since 2001. Deer Creek Enterprise was conceived in the Town of Ajax, Ontario by Michael Bernardo, and named after a nearby creek. Michael has been building and project managing websites, servers, databases, and local area networks since 1996. Today, Deer Creek Enterprise is a privately held corporation with employees in Oshawa, and business partners and alliances located in several cities in Ontario including Kitchener, St. Catherine's, Hamilton, Toronto, Pickering. 99% of our websites are made in Canada for Canadians by Canadians. Our combined years of experience will ensure your project is delivered on time, and on budget. Call us today.

 

I have this great idea for a website but it's very vague. Can you help me define it?

E-mail Print
Sure we can. Many of our clients have very vague descriptions of their ideas. Our job is to ask the right questions that will allow both us and the client to discover what the end result may be. If the project is very large, we can take a phased approach which allows us to set smaller but achievable objectives towards the final goal. You have ideas, we can turn them into reality. Talk to us today.
 

I already have a website and only need someone to be entering content for me every now and then. Do you provide such a service?

E-mail Print
Yes we do. Most of our customers would rather focus their time on building their business instead of spending the time learning HTML and web programming. That is why we offer Service Contracts that will guarantee you a certain number of hours at a discounted rate over the term of the contract. You will receive prompt service as if you had a full-time webmaster but without the costs associated with a full-time employee. You only need to provide us the content you wish to add, the frequency, and we will do it for you. The Service Contract can be used to update content, add additional content, add additional features, or general consulting.
 

My webmaster disappeared on me halfway through the project. Can you take over the website project?

E-mail Print
Yes, we can take over projects that have already been started by other developers. Some of our clients have experienced the horror of being abandoned by their webmasters midway through the project. Other times, the project has been completed, but the webmaster has disappeared or has become unreliable to provide on-going support. Deer Creek Enterprise is unlike these other webmasters. We are there to make sure your project is completed from start to finish, and will provide on-going support if you need to change things later on.
 

How long does it take to design a website?

E-mail Print
The average turn around for a web site with a customized CMS is about 7 days. This includes meeting with the client over the phone or in person, documentation, specifications signoff, back-and-forth communications throughout the development process, bug checking, and final sign off. However, each website is unique. For example, our fastest E-Commerce website delivery was completed in 3 days (see testimonials).

E-mail Print
