Web design and web development for Campbell River businesses

Honestly, and with the distance stated up front. Day-to-day support is remote: accounts, Microsoft 365, email, security, backups, device management and troubleshooting all happen over the internet, and that covers the large majority of what comes up. When something needs hands on equipment, we plan the visit in advance and travel for it — a ferry and a drive, not a same-day call-out. For cabling and physical installs we subcontract a local trade. If you need someone able to be on site within the hour, we will say so rather than take the work.

Yes, on the same remote-first basis, and the distance question only gets sharper out there. Remote support does not care about a ferry, so accounts, email, security and troubleshooting work the same way they do in town. What changes is connectivity and spare parts: outside the city the connection is often the weak link, so we plan a backup link and keep a pre-configured replacement machine on site rather than relying on shipping. On-site work is arranged ahead and grouped into one trip. Connected Coast fibre landings are improving the picture, unevenly.

It will if it is written about your actual work and the places you serve. Where the site was built matters far less to a reader than whether it answers their questions: what you do, who you do it for, what it costs to get started, and how to reach a person. We write service and area pages around the work itself, and for web design projects we take photographs and details from you rather than filling the page with stock images of a coastline nobody would recognize.

It depends mostly on scope: the number of pages, who writes the content, integrations like booking or payments, and whether you sell online. A written quote for a defined scope is the only reliable number — our website cost guide explains each cost driver and the ongoing costs to plan for.

Most of the timeline is decided by content, not code. A small business site moves quickly once page copy, photos and decisions are ready; larger sites with many pages, integrations or e-commerce take longer. We set a schedule at kickoff with dates for each review.

No honest designer can guarantee rankings. What we can do is build the foundations search engines reward — fast pages, clear structure, strong titles and descriptions, structured data and genuinely useful local content — and align the site with your Google Business Profile, which drives map results.

Yes. Your domain, hosting account, analytics and content should be registered to your business, with our access granted as a user. If you ever move on, you take everything with you.
