Who we are

Who runs Back9 Digital

Back9 Digital was founded by Ola, a web developer with over 12 years of hands-on experience building websites for law firms, healthcare providers, trades and manufacturing companies. Ola leads the design, build and launch of every project. The work centres on custom WordPress builds, eCommerce and technical SEO. You can read more on Ola's author page.

We've built websites for contractors, law firms, healthcare providers, restaurants, retail stores and tech startups across Hamilton. No matter your industry, we tailor every website to your specific customers, goals and market, because a one-size-fits-all approach simply does not work in a competitive local market like Hamilton.

Ola has spent over 12 years building websites that rank on Google and generate leads. Design, development and SEO happen in one process, handled in-house from quote to launch. Back9 Digital is based in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, and is not affiliated with other companies that use the Back9 name.

Why choose us

Why do Hamilton businesses trust Back9 Digital?

01

Increased web traffic

Every website we build is fast, mobile-friendly and structured for local search. We focus on the technical and content foundations that help Hamilton businesses show up when their customers are searching. Our 2026 study of Hamilton small business websites shows how often those foundations are missing.

02

Higher conversion rates

A website that looks good but doesn't convert is a missed opportunity. We design with clear calls to action, strong site structure and a user experience that turns visitors into enquiries.

03

Long-term success

We build digital foundations that grow with your business. From the initial launch to ongoing SEO and support, Back9 Digital is a long-term partner, not a one-time vendor.

Our difference

What makes Back9 Digital different?

We go beyond just building websites. Every project starts with understanding your business, your customers and your goals. We then design, build and optimise a website that works as a genuine marketing asset, not just an online brochure. You work with one point of contact from the first call through launch and every change after it.

A real marketing asset

We build websites that work as a sales tool. Every page is designed to generate leads and grow your business, not sit online as a digital brochure nobody reads.

Built by senior talent

Every project is led by a senior developer with 12+ years of experience who understands the technical and marketing sides of the web.

Genuinely local

We know Hamilton and the cities around it. Every project gets local knowledge and long-term thinking, for clients across Hamilton and nearby Ontario cities.

Based in Hamilton

A service-area business, not a downtown agency

Back9 Digital is based in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. There is no storefront: most meetings happen by video call, and we meet clients in person anywhere in the city. Alongside our main web design in Hamilton work, we serve businesses in the surrounding cities. We are not connected to the agencies with similar names in Hamilton, New Zealand.

Our stack

Why WordPress, and why Elementor?

Most of our sites run on WordPress because it lets you edit your own content without calling us for every change. We build custom themes and use Elementor for page layout where it keeps the site easy for you to update. We do not resell templates: each design is drawn for the business it belongs to.
