02 — What you get

A website is the start. Never losing a lead is the point.

Every Stoa build can include the systems that turn visitors into calls, and calls into jobs.

Missed-Call Text-Back

On a roof when the phone rings? The caller gets a text right away, and the job doesn't go to the next name on Google.

Review Engine

After every job, your customer gets a simple request to leave a Google review. More reviews, more calls.

Lead Router

Every form on your site goes straight to your phone. No inbox to check, no lead left sitting overnight.

Websites

Fast, mobile-first sites built to make the phone ring. Clean design, local SEO and your Google profile set up properly.

Marketing & social

Flyers, social graphics and monthly Google posts that keep your business visible without eating your evenings.

Business systems

Intake forms, booking, client onboarding and simple CRMs wired together, so the admin runs itself.

03 — Pricing

Fixed prices. Published. No surprises.

All prices in CAD, plus tax. What you see is what you pay.

Jon McKinnon, founder of Stoa Solutions

04 — Who builds it

I'm Jon McKinnon. I've served this community for over a decade.

For ten years I was a Deputy Sheriff here in Sydney. When I left, I went all in on software engineering, marketing and the systems that make businesses run.

Since then I've helped take organizations from day one to multi-million-dollar companies. The systems that got them there are the same ones I build for you.

Stoa is named for the covered colonnades that lined the marketplace of ancient Athens. Merchants did business in their shade, and the Stoics taught there in the open, to anyone who stopped to listen. A stoa was built to stand for generations and to draw people in.

That's what I build for you: something solid at the centre of your local market, where customers find you, trust you and keep coming back. Straight answers, no wasted motion, work built to last.
