A straight-talking look at your website

Why your site should look like this.

This page isn't a sales pitch. It's a plain-English look at what your current website is doing well, what it's doing poorly, and what Launchpad would change if you gave us the green light.

Your website today
Here's what's holding it back
  • Your website is offline right now

    When someone types forratschocolates.ca, nothing loads. That domain has gone dark, and the back-up at forrat.ca has been unreliable too. For a brand Londoners have known for twenty years, that means people who search for you find a dead end instead of your chocolates.

  • Two different addresses are floating around online

    Some listings show Boler Road, others show Commissioners Road. When the details do not match, customers get confused about where to actually go. The new preview states one clear address, phone, and set of hours, everywhere.

  • Your chocolates barely show up online

    The handmade truffles, the fondue, the crepes, this is a feast for the eyes and almost none of it is visible to someone deciding where to spend their evening. The new preview puts big, warm photos of the chocolate and the lounge front and centre.

  • There is no easy way to order or plan a visit

    You are on Uber Eats, but the website never sends people there, and the cheese-fondue 24-hour notice is easy to miss. The new preview puts Order on Uber Eats in the header, and spells out the hours and what to call ahead for.

  • It works, but it blends in

    The site does the job, but nothing about it makes someone stop and say “this place looks great.” You're doing the work, the site just isn't showing it off.

What you'd get with Launchpad
  • A warm, premium site that finally matches the chocolate

    A cream-and-cocoa design with a full-width hero, your real handmade chocolates on display, and the Brazilian chocolatier story told properly. It looks as high-end as a Dragons' Den brand should.

  • One menu page with every price you publish

    Coffee, bakery, the chocolate case, and the lounge favourites like fondue and crepes, all in one clean place, with Order on Uber Eats one tap away.

  • Owned outright, no monthly fees

    Pay $250 once and the site is yours. No Squarespace or Wix subscription, no expired domain leaving you offline again. Hosting is included, and Launchpad keeps it live.

  • A site that actually looks like a real business

    Modern design that matches how your business actually feels, not a clicked-together template that looks like everyone else's.

  • Works perfectly on phones

    Most people looking for you are on a phone. This site is built for phones first, then tablets, then laptops, in that order.

  • Everything you already have, better organized

    Your hours, your services, your photos, your prices, your booking link, your menu, all of it, in one clean place that people can actually find.

  • Fast, secure, and runs itself

    Hosted on Cloudflare, the same network that powers Shopify and Discord. Always online, always secure, always fast. No plugins to update.

  • You own it. Pay once. Forever.

    $250 one time. No monthly fees for hosting. No subscription. No lock-in. The site is yours to keep, forever.

What the other guys charge

The monthly fees you'd be paying elsewhere.

Most website builders charge you every single month. The day you stop paying, your website is gone. Here's what that actually looks like over a year:

Squarespace
$23 to $36 / month
That's $276 to $432 per year, every year
Wix
$17 to $45 / month
That's $204 to $540 per year, every year
WordPress hosting
$15 to $30 / month
Plus domain fees. And the cost to fix it when it breaks.
Launchpad
This preview
$0 / month
$250 once. That's it. Ever.
