Web design and branding studio in Victoria, BC

A one-page site starts at $3,500. Each extra page, such as About, Services & areas or Contact & FAQ, is $450, and project pages are $250 each after the first. The calculator above shows how it adds up. Search-ready structure and keywords are included in every site. Photography is quoted separately by Platinum Creative. You'll have the fixed number in writing before you pay anything. After launch, Tending is optional at $250 a month, or changes are billed by the hour.

Under four weeks from the first call to launch, when your photos and words are ready. If we're shooting the photography or writing the copy, allow a little longer, and a site with a lot of pages takes a little longer again. The launch date goes on the calendar in writing at the start.

Yes, and most projects are redesigns. We move your content across, redirect every old page address so you keep your place on Google, and switch the new site on without downtime. It doesn't matter whether the old one is WordPress, Wix, Squarespace or something custom.

Yes, if you're on Tending. You pay 25% to start, then the rest in equal monthly payments with no interest, added to your Tending bill: over 3 or 6 months for sites under $6K, or over 6 or 12 months for larger ones. Once it's paid off, it's just Tending at $250 a month, and the site is fully yours.

Yes, any time, from the next month. We move the site onto hosting in your name, you keep the domain and every file, and any changes after that are simply billed by the hour.

Tending is the $250 monthly plan for businesses that keep their site moving: new projects and people added, new sections when you need them, text, image and price changes, a seasonal banner. Plus the things nobody remembers: checking Google has indexed your pages, keeping your Business Profile current, speed tests, security updates, backups, and a short monthly report on how you're ranking. Hosting is included.

Yes. After launch you choose. Tending, at $250 a month, suits businesses that want the site kept current and want to know how they're ranking. If your site won't change much, skip it and book changes when you need them, billed by the hour. Adding a new project, for example, is usually about an hour, and you always get a quote first.

The domain isn't included, on purpose. We ask you to buy it yourself so it's always in your name, and we help you point it at the site. On Tending, hosting runs through our account and is included. Without Tending, we set the site up on hosting in your name at launch.

Mostly. Contractors, home builders, renovation companies, trades, architects and interior designers are where we spend most of our time, so we know what those sites need to do: show the work, make it easy to call, and hold up when someone checks you out before asking for a quote. If you run something else and care how you show up, ask.

Yes. We're based in Victoria and work across Greater Victoria, including Saanich, Oak Bay, Esquimalt, View Royal, Langford, Colwood, Sooke, Sidney and the Saanich Peninsula, and up-Island in the Cowichan Valley, Nanaimo, Parksville, the Comox Valley and the Gulf Islands. Calls and previews happen online, so clients further afield work the same way.

Some of it. We don't design logos, but we'll build your site around the one you have, with a colour theme and type that suit your business. We also make short brand videos, shot by Platinum Creative.

Yes. We write or edit the copy with you, and the photography and video are shot by Platinum Creative, our in-house photography and film studio. If you already have good photos of your projects, we design around those.

Yes. Through Platinum Creative we build single-property websites for agents, with the listing photography, film and drone built in. 10814 Beach Road in North Saanich is a recent one.

If you have more time than budget, a builder is a fine place to start. You get a template, a monthly subscription, and the job of keeping it current. We make sense when the site needs to win work: designed around your projects, faster than a builder site, and kept up to date for you.

Every site is built for search: fast pages, proper headings, page titles and descriptions, image descriptions, the structured data that Google and AI search tools read, a sitemap, and Google Search Console set up at launch. On Tending you also get a monthly report on how you're ranking. We don't run ad campaigns or sell monthly SEO retainers.

That comes from your Google Business Profile rather than your website, but the two work together. We help you set the profile up or tidy it, link it to the site, and make sure your name, address and phone number match everywhere. On Tending we keep it current with new photos and projects.

Every site is designed and coded for you rather than assembled from a page-builder template, then hosted on fast, modern hosting: on our account with Tending, or on yours without it. No themes, no plugin bills, no builder subscription. If you ever leave, the code goes with you.
