Web Design for businesses in British Columbia
Web design is planning the structure, layout and visual design of a website so visitors can find what they need and act. We deliver it for Canadian businesses in British Columbia, with pricing in CAD and the local rules below built into the work.
A website redesign usually fails in one of three places: it is designed before anyone defines what visitors need to do, it ignores search (so traffic drops after launch), or the design can't be built to perform. We design with SEO, accessibility and Core Web Vitals in the brief from day one.
What's different about web design in British Columbia
The fundamentals are the same everywhere. These are the local rules and habits that change how we set the work up for Canadian businesses.
- B.C.'s Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) applies instead of PIPEDA to most private-sector organisations operating within the province.
- Accessibility law
- Ontario's AODA requires WCAG 2.0 AA websites for organisations with 50 or more employees, and the Accessible Canada Act covers federally regulated sectors. We build to WCAG 2.2 AA.
- Language requirements
- English and French. Quebec's Charter of the French Language, strengthened by Bill 96, requires commercial websites and advertising aimed at Quebec consumers to be available in French.
- Consent banners and forms
- PIPEDA applies federally. Quebec's Law 25 is stricter: technology that can identify, locate or profile a visitor must be off by default, which changes how analytics and ad tags are set up for Quebec traffic.
- Checkout and pricing display
- Cards, Interac, Apple Pay and Google Pay, and PayPal. GST, HST and PST differ by province, so tax handling at checkout depends on where the customer is.
What our web design covers
UX research and information architecture
Analytics review, user journeys and a sitemap planned with keyword research, so the new structure keeps and grows search traffic.
Wireframes and prototypes
Clickable Figma prototypes tested before visual design, which is where most usability problems are cheapest to fix.
Visual design and design systems
Brand-aligned UI with reusable components, tokens and variables, so every future page stays consistent.
Accessible design
Colour contrast, focus states, readable type and keyboard flows designed to WCAG 2.2 AA, not retrofitted.
Conversion design
Landing pages, forms and calls to action designed for one job each, with A/B test plans for launch.
Redesign with SEO protection
URL mapping, redirect plans and content parity checks so a redesign doesn't cost you rankings.
