Website Design Process
01. Discovery & Research
Chat with us over coffee as we uncover your user goals, design vision, and functional requirements. Consult with our in-house team if Shopify or WordPress platforms are a good fit for your business.
02. Sitemap & Stylesheet
Next, we will work with you to determine what pages are needed on the website and map out the site architecture in the form of a sitemap. This is delivered in hand with a stylesheet, to start visually bringing your brand elements together.
03. UX + UI Web Design
After mapping out the user experience journey, our UX/UI designers will wireframe and design each page for desktop and mobile views using Adobe XD. These designs are delivered to clients as a prototype link, with two proofing stages for your feedback.
04. Web Development
Once the designs have been approved, we then submit them to our in-house developers to code the site on our test server. All of our websites are fully responsive and include in-house copywriting and keyword research.
05. Testing + Publish
Before publishing, we will perform thorough testing across major browsers as well as desktop, tablet, and mobile devices. Once approved, we transfer the files to your hosting server and facilitate a training call to show you how to use your new site!
Who we work with
From startups to established small businesses, national and global brands, we work within your canvas. Our best work happens when we are able to create a collaborative and energizing client relationship. We care deeply about the brands we get to work with – everything from food & beverage and CPG brands, professional services, non-profit organizations and land developers, every canvas is unique.
Easy to update
You shouldn't have to pay an agency to do basic content updates if it's been built properly. We make the backend of your website easy to use, and empower your team with education and training to make content updates after we hand over the keys.
Own your website
Your website hosting should always always be set up in your name, with a provider of your choice. We build your website in a staging environment and then once approved can publish it wherever you like. If you need guidance, we have hosting partners we can refer to.
No mandatory maintenance fees
We have maintenance packages available to support you post-launch, but they are absolutely optional and will never be attached to the scope of your website build. Choose from technical maintenance packages, or add on support for content entry too.
Get the website you actually want
No templates, no third party themes, no page builders. Our WordPress websites are built from scratch and can be designed 100% unique for your business to match your vision. We use Gutenberg within WordPress and custom code it to do the heavy lifting.
Included with every website project:
On your project you will have a project manager, web designer, web developer and copywriting expert. Ask us about adding a photoshoot to elevate your web imagery.
Research, user profiling, auditing, sitemap creation and website strategy kick off are where we begin the website process journey together.
In-house user experience and user interface designers create a high fidelity desktop and mobile prototypes that are available to you to leave collaborative feedback.
The coding stuff! After your design is approved, it is sent to our local, in-house developers to build out the site and add in any required functionality.
Throughout the development process we conduct thorough user testing across devices and browsers to ensure everything is working as it should.
Training is included when we hand over the keys to your new website – ensuring your team is empowered to make content and image updates post-launch.
Our website estimating process is comprehensive, ensuring we have the full scope of the project before getting started. No hidden maintenance fees, either.

Frequently asked questions
- Yes! All of our websites are designed with SEO best practices in mind, which means they are 100% mobile friendly and responsive. We design all UX/UI with a mobile first approach.
- White Canvas Design offers web hosting by our local partner to provide Canadian-based hosting through Danory Technology Partners in Langley.
- No. All of our design and development is performed in-house by employees who live and work in your community.
- The number one question you need to ask yourself when picking a platform is this: what is the purpose of my website for my audience? Is it online sales? Is it leads? Once you’ve figured out what it is you want to achieve through your website, you can start narrowing down your options by your budget and functionality expectations. At White Canvas, we love working with WordPress because it’s the most customizable; it’s mobile-friendly; and it allows third party hosting; but if you’re a start-up or service based business in need of a visual or photo heavy website, Squarespace may be a good option for you as it will make you a beautiful site, quickly. If you’re an e-commerce business, we absolutely recommend Shopify as it boasts some amazing sales features and tools, allows you to easily manage your products and inventory, and is semi-customizable so we can make it fit in with your brand. Book a complimentary consult with our team and we can help advise you on the best options available for your business.
- Every website project involved 4 people from our team collaborating together on your finished product. This typically includes a web designer, web developer, content writer and client relations representative.
- For e-commerce, our go-to platform is Shopify, as it has built in features that make it a great all in one solution for businesses. WordPress is also an option if we include specialty WordPress integrations such as Commerce7 and WooCommerce. Please let's connect with one of our digital experts to learn more.
- We have your back. Copywriting is included with every website package.
- At White Canvas, we do business differently. We deeply value the relationships we create with our clients and the purpose of each brand we collaborate with. We collaborate best with open-minded, intentional businesses looking for a creative sidekick and have experience working with a wide range of companies in a wide range of industries. From construction, food and beverage, and tech companies, to seniors living, clothing brands, and physiotherapists - we’ve done them all.
- We are located in Langley B.C., just outside of Vancouver.
- You bet. As a creative agency we excel in all things creative: branding, graphic design, brand photography, social media content creation, video, art direction and more.
