    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.

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.

  • producing real results that improved our business

    You will be impressed. Content creation and social media management was something we were struggling mightily with internally. WCD came in, worked with us like true partners, and then went about producing real results that improved our business, all while ensuring ideation, content capture and the approval process were super efficient. They also helped us with trade show materials, brochures, design guidelines and more. A super valuable resource you’ll be glad you brought on board.

  • A pleasure to work with all the way through our project

    The White Canvas Team was a pleasure to work with all the way through our project. Professional from the proposal & strategy sessions, throughout the build, and fast response times with any questions along the way. One item of note that our Group particularly liked was their gentle prompts to keep us on track with our project – we got it complete in the time line we were looking for. Thank you, we would be happy to recommend you!

  • We love working with another local Langley business and plan to continue this partnership.

    We first starting working with White Canvas in November 2020. In the past two years we have had the team create a new website, design email templates, guide us through our SEO, and they are currently designing us an interactive map. The team delivers high quality design in a timely manner and their customer service is exceptional. We love working with another local Langley business and plan to continue this partnership. I highly recommend White Canvas Design Studio.

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.
