Web design
Vancouver
Web design in Vancouver has to pay its way. Rent is high, ad clicks are not cheap, and every visitor counts. I build sites that turn those visitors into bookings, without a monthly builder fee on top.
Free: a 30-minute call, an action plan and a price range in writing.
What a Vancouver
website needs to do
Metro Vancouver is a cluster of cities with different customers, languages and habits. The site has to work for all of them.
If you pay for clicks, the page they land on must load quickly and lead to one action. I design every key page around that action: book, call, request a quote.
Many Vancouver businesses serve customers who prefer Chinese, Punjabi, Korean, Tagalog or Persian. A properly built second-language section reaches them far better than an auto-translate button.
A customer in Coquitlam wants to know you come out that far. Clear area information, and pages where it makes sense, cut wasted calls in both directions.
British Columbia has its own private-sector privacy law, PIPA. Forms collect only what you need, and the site carries a clear privacy policy.
Reviews that
win the next customers
Before calling, customers read reviews. I help you collect them and reply in a way that builds trust.

Web design in Vancouver when every visitor costs money
Web design in Vancouver usually starts with a hard look at money. Commercial rents are steep, staff are expensive, and competitive Google Ads clicks are not cheap either. Owners I talk to rarely want a showpiece. They want a site that brings bookings, quotes and orders for what it costs. So I build backwards from that: what one action should a visitor take on each page, and what stops them today?
Often it is something small. A quote form with twelve fields. Prices hidden behind "contact us". A menu or booking link that opens a PDF on a phone. Each one costs enquiries every week, and in a pricey market that adds up quickly.
One region, many cities
Vancouver itself is only part of the picture. Customers come from Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, the North Shore, the Tri-Cities and the Fraser Valley, and they often search with their own city name. A renovation company based in East Van that works across the region benefits from clear area information and, where it is honest, short pages for the places it covers. That supports SEO in Vancouver without creating thin copy-paste pages.
If most of your customers are in one suburb, the site can say so plainly. I also work with businesses in Surrey and Burnaby directly.
Languages that matter on the West Coast
Metro Vancouver is one of the most linguistically diverse regions in Canada. A clinic in Richmond, a restaurant on Kingsway or a trades business in Surrey often serves customers who feel more confident reading in another language. A real second-language section, with its own pages and navigation, usually works much better than an automatic widget. Google can index it, and customers can trust it.
Why I do not use page builders
I build hand-coded sites or a custom CMS made for each business. There is no monthly builder subscription, the pages are light on a phone, and the site connects to your booking tool, CRM or WhatsApp without a stack of plugins. The domain, code and content are registered to you.
| What you need | What I build | From |
|---|---|---|
| Test one service with ads | Landing page | $1,300 |
| A real presence for a local business | Business website | $3,000 |
| Sell products online | Online store | $4,800 |
Seasons and the rain
Vancouver demand moves with the weather and the tourists. Patios, tours, moving companies and outdoor services peak in summer; roofing, gutters and indoor activities pick up when the rain sets in. I make it easy to switch seasonal offers on the homepage yourself, so the site never shows a summer special in November.
After launch, many clients add Google Ads in Vancouver to bring traffic from day one. If you want to talk through options first, the 30-minute consultation is free.

questions
What does a website cost in Vancouver?
With me, a landing page starts at $1,300, a business website at $3,000 and an online store at $4,800, in Canadian dollars. Those are my final prices for design, build, analytics and training. Local agencies often quote more because of offices and staff; I work alone and remotely, so you pay for the work itself.
Can you build the site in English and Chinese?
Yes, the structure supports any language: separate pages, proper language tags, its own navigation. I write English and check Polish, Russian and Ukrainian myself. For Chinese, Punjabi or other languages, the text comes from your translator or a trusted partner, and I make sure it is set up correctly for Google.
Is the time difference a problem?
Not in practice. I schedule Zoom calls during your Pacific Time business hours and reply to messages within one business day. Most of the work happens between calls anyway, and you can see progress on a test link whenever you like.
Do I need a privacy policy?
If your site collects names, emails or phone numbers, yes. BC's PIPA and the federal PIPEDA both expect you to explain what you collect and why. I add a privacy policy page and keep forms short. If you run ads with tracking, a cookie notice is usually part of it too.
My current site is on a builder. Can you fix it?
I do not repair other people's sites. I build a new one, keep your domain, move the content worth keeping and redirect old addresses, so your Google history is not lost. You also stop paying the builder subscription.
