(07) — Common questions

Things prospects
ask before the call.

How much does web design cost in BC?+
Most established BC small and mid-sized businesses spend CA$15,000–CA$45,000 for a real marketing website. Simple landing pages start near CA$3,000; larger platforms and rebrands run CA$80,000+. Local SEO retainers add CA$800–CA$3,500/month. The detailed breakdowns are linked above.
Should I hire a Vancouver agency or a Langley / Fraser Valley studio?+
Geography matters less than fit. Larger Vancouver agencies have scale and senior names; smaller Fraser Valley studios get you the makers directly. We're biased — but the framework in our 'best web design studios' guide will get you to a good answer whichever way you go.
Do you work with clients outside BC?+
Yes. We're based in Langley and most of our clients are in BC, but we ship projects with teams across Canada, the US and Europe. The work doesn't care where the meeting happens.
What CMS or stack will my site end up on?+
The one that fits your team. We build most often on WordPress + WooCommerce, Webflow, Framer, and Next.js + Sanity or Contentful. We recommend a stack in week one based on who'll own the site after we leave.
How long does a typical BC project take?+
Eight to twelve weeks from kickoff to launch for most full website projects. Single landing pages land in two; larger platforms land in twelve to sixteen. We share a week-by-week plan before we start.
