Web design and web development for Courtenay businesses

Honestly, and with the distance stated up front. Almost everything we do is delivered remotely — Microsoft 365, email, security, backups, device management, cloud and web work — and that is the same whether you are in Courtenay or Coquitlam. What we cannot do is turn up the same afternoon. Getting to the Comox Valley means a ferry and roughly an hour and a quarter north of Nanaimo, or a flight into Comox. So on-site attendance is planned in advance, and anything urgent that needs physical hands is better handled by a local trade we coordinate with.

For the build itself, no. Web design is done remotely almost everywhere now, and the work is the same: planning the pages, writing the content, building the site and reviewing it with you over a call. What does matter is that the site reflects the valley accurately — the right service area, correct hours, and photographs of your actual premises rather than stock images of somewhere else. We ask you for those, and we will say so plainly if the site would be better off with a local photographer.

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.

Yes, if the move is planned. We inventory your existing pages and search performance, keep or improve the pages that rank, set up permanent redirects from every old URL and monitor search console after launch.
