Hwy 404 & Steeles.
The proposal.
What the review found. Fixes the owner could use straight away. A working concept and a clear plan for the next step.
Self-initiated proposal · October 2026.
Not commissioned or approved by the market.
Fix these first.
Six practical recommendations from the review. Useful to the owner and their existing developer, whether or not ALLOIC builds anything.
Correct the phone link.
The contact page displayed a 905 number, but its tap-to-call link dialled 906. Make the link target match the displayed number.
Put Sunday back in the hours.
The contact page listed Saturday twice and left Sunday out. Correct the days and the misspelling of “Steeles” in the heading.
Load the video when asked.
A 10 MB promotional video downloaded on every homepage visit. Show a poster first and load the video when a visitor presses Play.
Use one vendor count.
The antiques page and several blog posts said “over 400 vendors”; other pages said 200+. Confirm the current figure, then use it consistently.
Make the location consistent.
Pages used Thornhill, Markham and Toronto differently. Confirm the address and local area wording, then apply the same version across the site.
Link the privacy policy.
The review found tracking tools and forms, with no policy link in the navigation or footer. Make the existing policy easy to find.
Historical findings from the public site, not a claim about its current condition. Sources: the homepage, contact page, vendor list, antiques page and blog at 404steelesfleamarket.com.
A direction you can try.
Opening status, vendor search and directions come first. Seven linked pages use the market’s public content.
The concept is a demonstration. Forms send nothing, the floor map is illustrative, and indoor rates are left for the leasing office. The content reflects the October 2026 review.
A scope you can decide on.
The proposed live build, set out before committing. The concept makes the direction concrete; the agreement defines the work.
- The build
- Home, vendor directory, vendor pages, events, food court, sell here and visit. Search by product or booth; keep directions and a call link within reach.
- The content
- The owner supplies the complete vendor list, approved photos and confirmed rates. The concept uses the 31 vendors in the public list, rather than inventing the rest.
- The launch
- A live build would include an editing setup, working enquiry delivery, old-link redirects, device checks and a staff walkthrough. These are proposed deliverables; the concept is a static demonstration.
- The agreement
- Scope, price, payment dates, revisions, timeline, handover and any care in writing. Changes are priced and agreed before extra work begins.
This seven-page example is bespoke work, quoted to its scope. Focused websites start from $4,500 CAD; see scope and payment options. The $49.99 CAD analysis provides a written review and next steps. A full concept, website build and ongoing management are separate services.
Build details and recorded checks
The concept uses HTML, CSS and JavaScript. A Python build pre-renders the vendor and event data. Search, the illustrative map and Toronto-time opening status work in the browser; the forms are demonstrations.
Two mobile-preset Lighthouse lab runs of the unhosted homepage scored 98 and 99 for performance, and 100 for accessibility, best practices and SEO. These describe the prototype test, not a live client result or a future performance guarantee.
