Yes! We build all of our websites to ensure that they’re WCAG compliant and test for things like colour contrast, keyboard accessibility, semantic headings, and more. We also have a few tools in our toolbox if you need your site to go that extra mile.
Good things take time. We follow an 8-step process that we’ve refined over years of client projects and we’ve found that we’ll typically need at least 8 weeks to work together to bring your website to life. Beyond project complexity, some things that can affect timelines include any information we need to collect from you and how quickly we get your feedback. As part of the homework phase we’ll give you a list of everything we’ll need so that you can get a headstart.
We know that the cost of a new website can be intimidating for many small businesses so we have 6 and 12-month payment plans available. Message us for details.
We certainly can! Before we launch your new site we provide you with a training session where we show you how to edit anything you might want on your site. But we don’t disappear.

Yes! We never lock down our sites so prior to launch we’ll provide you with a training session to show you how everything works on your site and how you can manage your content going forward.

We’ll ask for things like your current web hosting details, domain registration, a high-quality version of your logo, a list of your competitors, and any high-quality photos or videos you have.

Search Engine Optimization
The long and short of it is, it depends. A lot of factors will go into SEO timelines including how competitive your market is, how long your website has been around, and where you’re starting from in terms of current rankings. In general, SEO is a long game, and Google is in no rush to determine your authority so it’s not uncommon for it to take a few months to see real gains.
Keywords are the phrases your potential clients would type into a search engine when looking for you, or a business like yours. Choosing the right terms in your content is crucial since it will help Google to understand your website better and identify you as a relevant result for a specific search.
Local SEO refers to specific actions taken in order to appear in search results when someone is looking for a business in your area, for example “shoe repair in St. John’s.” Boosting your local SEO is a great way of attracting prospective customers from your surroundings as most of them are looking for you online. One goal would be to show up on Google Maps, so that you’ll have a better chance of showing up in the ‘Local Pack’ (the three results you see below the map on search results).
SEO or Search Engine Optimization involves everything you can do in order to obtain a better position on search engines’ (like Google) results and thus get found more easily. SEO encompasses in particular (but not limited to): fixing technical issues on your website, getting backlinks to your site, creating valuable content, and more.
Yes, your business should be investing in SEO. Search engine optimization offers a way to increase traffic without paying for each and every click. If you’re able to rank your website at the top of the search engines, you’ll benefit from a stream of traffic that won’t have click costs associated with it, and that won’t stop when ads are turned off. Rank organically, and you’ll enjoy 24/7 visibility.
Both SEO and SEM (Search Engine Marketing) involve increasing a site’s visibility on search results. The main difference is that SEM includes paid promotion tactics and while SEO focuses on organic (unpaid) tactics to grow traffic.
Backlinks are links from external sites to your own website (or any of its pages). They are an important part of your SEO strategy. Indeed, the more links you are able to get, the more your website is considered trustworthy and authoritative in Google’s eyes. Getting them isn’t a simple task, but we have tested strategies to connect with sites most likely to link back to your business.
Ah, the age-old SEO vs PPC question. In an ideal world, a business should balance multiple marketing channels to avoid a reliance on any single source of traffic (and conversions). But, especially for smaller businesses, budget is often a challenge, and resources must be allocated efficiently. We believe it’s essential to balance a long-term SEO strategy with a small but targeted PPC campaign.

We’ll make a recommendation on what our experience has shown is a minimum budget to achieve your goal, but there is no hard and fast minimum. Each new campaign requires some setup and management time on our end but beyond that, you determine how much you want to spend on digital ads. While there is no minimum spend, it’s tough to benefit from a $2 or $5 daily budget. If your budget is limited we recommend doing a larger campaign for a shorter timeframe to get the most bang.
The cost of ads will vary depending on the platform and your industry and goals, but our goal is to get you in front of the right people.
