Where we come in
Your website matters. It has stopped keeping up.
-
Your agency is gone, or costs too much
Nobody knows how the site works, or the bill keeps growing. We take it over, document it and keep it running, as we did when we took over a group of mortgage brands from a US agency.
-
Your team can’t update it
Every change waits on a developer. We rebuild it so your team edits pages in both languages on its own.
-
It is slow or out of date
We modernize the site and keep what already works, including the Google traffic you have earned.
-
A review is coming
An IT, security or procurement review needs evidence. We document the standards, accessibility and hosting for it.

The studio
Senior from the first email to the last update
A senior lead scopes your project, builds it with the team and supports it afterwards, so nothing gets lost in a handover.
When a project needs more hands, we bring in senior specialists for the parts that call for them. Your lead stays the same from start to finish.

How to Write a Website Redesign RFP
An RFP is a filter. Publish the budget, give the content and document volumes, separate mandatory from rated criteria, state the contract terms, and never request speculative design.

What Canadian Public-Sector Accessibility Requirements Actually Ask For
Canada has a federal standard, an Ontario statute and a Quebec standard, and procurement cites all three imprecisely. Here is what each one asks for, and what evaluators expect to see.

8 Signs You Need a Website Redesign, and 3 Signs You Don’t
A redesign is a large, disruptive instrument. Eight signals that say rebuild, three that say do something cheaper, and the five measurements that tell you which situation you are in.
Questions
What people ask before they start
Can a senior studio handle a project our size?
Yes. A senior lead runs your project from start to finish, and senior specialists join when the work calls for them. Every project runs on a written plan and a shared staging site, so you always see where it stands.
Do we need to be near you?
No. The studio works remotely, by email and on a shared review site, so a project runs the same in any city or time zone. We work with organizations across Canada and the United States.
How is a project priced?
Every project is quoted from its written plan. The cost depends on the number of page types, the systems to connect, the content to move and the languages. The quote lists each part, so you can see what drives it.
WordPress or TYPO3: which one is right for us?
WordPress suits most companies and nonprofits. TYPO3 suits organizations where many people publish, such as cities, universities and large public bodies. The written plan recommends one and explains why.
Will we lose our Google traffic in a redesign?
We map every existing page before the redesign, keep what already ranks and redirect anything that moves.
