You work with me, not a junior.
I'm Chris Patten: 18 years as a CIO, accounting- and finance-trained, and I built and sold my own company. I live in Collingwood. This is my home town, and these are the businesses I walk past every week.
I run ShoreGrade, the public report card for this region's business websites, and I fix what it finds: web design, missed calls, systems that don't talk, and senior technology judgment without the full-time hire. All of it starts with a free hour in your Collingwood business.
The most common problems are not exotic. Of the 622 Collingwood sites graded:
Source: shoregrade.ca, measured on design, speed, SEO, accessibility and practical checks. Newest measurements August 2026. Look up your own site there.
Web design that books jobs and takes payments, built to rank locally.
Every missed call gets an instant text back that captures the job.
Quotes, invoices and payments flowing between systems.
Fractional CTO judgment, a few days a month.
One free hour in your business. You keep everything I find.
