A Vancouver website redesign that begins with us walking into your building
Most agencies bidding on your redesign will never stand in the room your customers stand in. Our office is in Burnaby, twenty-five minutes from most of this city. We come and look at the business first, then rebuild the site around what we saw rather than around a template.
What changes when the agency can drive to you
A remote redesign runs on a questionnaire, two calls and whichever photos you already own. The result is competent and interchangeable — swap the logo and it could be anyone in your trade.
Ninety minutes on your premises removes the guessing. Which door people use. What they ask at the counter before committing. The three things your staff explain daily — those are your headings, and no brief contains them. Whether the phone outrings the contact form, which decides what goes at the top of every page.
Proximity is no superpower. It removes the invented part, and invention is what makes a rebuilt site feel like nobody's.
Photographs of the actual place, not a stock library
The biggest visual difference between a rebuild that earns enquiries and one that only looks tidier is whether the pictures are of your business. Visitors arrive from a Google listing full of honest, unflattering photographs of your premises. When the site then shows a glossier, different place, the mismatch reads as doubt.
Because we are here we can book the shoot, attend it, and steer it toward the frames the layout needs: the exterior in the right light, the counter, the people who greet them. On a small budget we shoot it on a phone while standing there. Both beat stock.
How much redesign demand exists here, honestly
Three figures we pulled for this market, so you can judge the page you are reading.
| Search term | Monthly searches | Cost per click |
|---|---|---|
| website redesign vancouver | 720 | $12.44 |
| website design vancouver | 1,300 | $15.64 |
| website development vancouver | 1,300 | $15.64 |
About 720 people a month look for a rebuild here — half the plain design term, and plainly a modest search. Nobody builds an agency on it. What it has is the buyer: someone typing redesign owns a site already, knows what is wrong, and sits closer to spending. A search this size deserves exactly one honest page.
Three rooms in this region, rebuilt
Open them full screen and scroll. Elisa and Black+Blue are concept redesigns of dining rooms downtown; Oceanside is a clinic in Ambleside. Each is somewhere you could walk into this afternoon.
Elisa was assembled from the restaurant's own imagery rather than stock, which is much of why it holds together. Browse the full set →
The half of a rebuild nobody photographs
Most redesign disasters are not design disasters. A business relaunches, every page address quietly changes, nothing points the old ones at the new, and years of search visibility drain away in a fortnight. Nobody can prove what was lost, because nobody recorded what the old site did.
So before anything is switched on we write down what you earn today: which pages bring people in, which produce enquiries, how many arrive by telephone. Every address worth keeping gets a redirect by hand, and afterwards you get those numbers again beside the old ones.
Straight answers before you brief anyone
Can we actually sit down together?
Yes. We are in Burnaby and meet clients across Vancouver, the North Shore, Richmond and the Tri-Cities. The first visit is free.
Will a rebuild cost us the rankings we have?
It can, and that is how most go wrong. Every address earning traffic gets a redirect before launch, and ranking pages keep their wording.
Do you handle the photography?
We arrange and direct it. We are not a photo studio, so we bring a photographer or shoot on a phone on site. Both beat stock.
How long does a redesign take?
It depends on page count and how fast the words arrive. Content is the bottleneck, and an afternoon in your office beats six weeks of email.
What does it cost?
We scope it after seeing the site and the business. Anyone quoting a rebuild before that is guessing, and the guess is never in your favour.
Show us the site you have. We will say what is worth keeping.
Send the address over. We go through the current build, what it earns and where it leaks — then, if you are in the Lower Mainland, come and see the business itself.
