Research the searcher, then design.
Before a single Figma frame, we map the queries your buyers actually run, the SERPs they see, and what your competitors are missing. The site outline is a search strategy in disguise.
We design and ship custom websites for Vancouver brands that demand more than a template. Conversion-engineered. Search-optimised from the first line of code. Built so the page starts compounding the day it goes live, not six months after.
A website is a system, not a deliverable. We sequence research, design, build and search so the work compounds across launch and the years after it.

Editorial typography. Asymmetric layouts. Whitespace as the loudest element. Every page is wireframed twice and designed once. Never a template stretched to fit. The result is a site that looks like the brand you want to be in three years.
Hand-crafted code. Semantic HTML. Schema in the right places. Core Web Vitals in the green before the first paint. SEO is not a phase that happens after the site is "done." It is in the markup, the meta, the heading order and the link structure.
Every site we ship comes with the GSC, Analytics and AI-citation tracking already wired in. Three months in, you do not need to ask what is working. The rankings answer for themselves. This is the part most studios send you somewhere else for. We do it in-house.
Most studios design first and hand the SEO off to a different team six months later. Our designers and our SEOs are the same people. The page is engineered to rank from the first commit.
Most marketing sites ship in four to seven weeks. E-commerce builds take eight to twelve. Multi-location sites with thirty-plus pages run twelve to sixteen. We do not race to a deadline that compromises the build, and we do not stretch a four-week project into four months to pad the invoice.
For Vancouver brands, local context shows up in copy, in case studies, in the testimonials we know are real, and in the GBP and citation network we already know how to navigate. For brands outside Vancouver, the location is a useful tag for our SEO work. It tells Google we are a real studio with a real address, not a content farm.
Whichever fits the brief. Static custom HTML is our default for marketing sites where speed and SEO depth matter most. Framer or Webflow when the client wants to update copy themselves without engineering help. Headless Shopify for premium e-commerce. Stack is a tool, not a religion.
Yes. Pre-launch we crawl the existing site, map every URL, build a 301 redirect plan, and migrate schema and metadata page by page. Post-launch we monitor GSC for indexation drops and fix anything that surfaces inside the first month. Done right, a redesign lifts rankings instead of resetting them.
Two paths. Either we hand you a documented build and step out, or you continue with a monthly SEO retainer where we run GSC indexation, striking-distance work, content velocity and AI citation engineering. Most clients pick the retainer because the build is the start of the work, not the end of it.
Quoted per project after a discovery call. Pricing depends on scope, page count, custom animation work, and whether we are also running the keyword research and post-launch SEO. Book a call and we will scope something concrete inside thirty minutes.
