Vancouver web design services for growing businesses
Nirvana Canada designs and builds custom websites for Vancouver businesses — construction firms, clinics, retailers, service companies and online stores. We plan the site with you, test the structure in wireframes, get your sign-off on the design, then build it on the platform that suits your team: WordPress, Shopify, Drupal or Magento.
Founded in 2007, our in-house team of designers and developers makes sure every site we launch works on phones, tablets and desktops.
A measured result: Anderson Vacations
For Anderson Vacations, a guided-vacation company, we tested one design question: would a more prominent Get Quote button help travellers who were ready to ask for a quote?
This was a design change to an existing website, not a full rebuild. It shows the approach we bring to a project: decide what a page needs a visitor to do, design for it, and measure whether it worked. Read the Anderson Vacations case study.
What changed
The Get Quote action was given stronger visual priority. On mobile, Get Quote was added as a button inside the site menu; it had been a floating button.
The metric
Get Quote click rate, measured separately for desktop and for mobile and tablet, with similar traffic in each test group.
The period
March 19 to April 15, 2026.
The result
Desktop rose from 1.83% to 2.43% (+32.9%); mobile and tablet rose from 0.68% to 3.75% (5.5 times).
What’s included in a website design project
Every project is scoped to your business, but most include the following. Related services: wireframing and storyboarding, UI/UX design and, for online stores, e-commerce development.
Discovery and planning
A consultation to understand your business, the technical requirements you need and your goals, plus a review of competitors’ websites to find where yours can stand apart.
Site structure and wireframes
A page map and low-fidelity wireframes that set out the layout, functionality and flow of each key page before any visual design starts.
Custom visual design
Custom-designed pages built from your brand colours, not a stock template.
Responsive build
Development on WordPress, Shopify, Drupal or Magento, tested to work across devices and browsers.
Content
Our content writers can write or edit your page copy so the words are ready when the design is.
SEO groundwork
Sites launch with basic on-page SEO, setting the stage for future digital marketing.
Testing and launch
Testing and quality assurance before the site goes live.
Ownership and brand guide
We hand the intellectual property over to you, and can provide a branding guide for future print or marketing work.
How a project runs, and who does what
Our in-house team includes project managers, website strategists, graphic and UI/UX designers, website developers, content writers and marketing specialists, so one team handles your project from first call to launch.
1. Discovery
We start with a consultation to learn about your business, your customers and what the site needs to do. We review your current site and competitors’ sites.
2. UX and wireframes
We turn what we learned into a page map and wireframes. Where it helps, we test layouts with users before visual design begins.
3. Design approval
We design the key pages and refine them with you over several rounds until you approve the look and the main functions.
4. Build
We build the approved design on your chosen platform and connect the tools you rely on, such as a CMS, booking or a CRM like Salesforce.
5. Testing and launch
We run comprehensive testing and quality assurance, then launch.
6. After launch
We offer post-launch website maintenance, so the site keeps working as your business changes.
What to expect after launch
A new website should make it easier for the right visitors to find what they need and contact you. We don’t promise a set number of leads or a ranking position, because results depend on your market, your offer and what happens after launch.
What we can do is set a baseline and measure. When analytics tracking is in place, we can show how visitors move through the site and which actions they take — calls, quote requests or purchases — and test design changes the way we did for Anderson Vacations.
If search visibility is a goal, our Vancouver SEO services pick up where the launch leaves off.
Before and after: recent website redesigns
Many of our web design projects start with an existing site that no longer fits the business. The case studies below describe what each client came to us with and what we built.

Web design questions, answered
For platform-specific questions, see our WordPress development page.
How much does a custom website cost in Vancouver?
It depends on how many pages and templates you need, the platform, and features such as booking, e-commerce or CRM integration. After a consultation we recommend a scope and give you a clear quote, so you know what’s included before you commit.
Can you redesign our existing website instead of starting over?
Yes. Many of our projects are redesigns — LMS Reinforcing Steel Group, ITC Construction and Vortex Restaurant Equipment all came to us with sites that no longer fit their business. We start by reviewing what your current site does well and what is holding it back.
Which platforms do you build on?
We design and build on WordPress, Shopify, Drupal and Magento, and recommend one based on how your team will update the site and what it needs to do.
Will a new website help our search rankings?
Sites launch with basic on-page SEO in place, which sets the stage for future marketing. A new design alone doesn’t guarantee rankings; ongoing SEO is a separate service.
Do we own our website?
Yes. We hand the intellectual property over to you, and can provide a branding guide for future print or marketing work.
What happens after launch?
We offer post-launch website maintenance, and some relationships run for years: we have supported Vortex Restaurant Equipment’s Shopify store for more than five years.
