Vancouver Island
Web Design
Your Website Designers for Victoria, Vancouver, Western B.C.
and beyond…
Built with Purpose
More Than Just A Pretty Face
Before we start a project, we take the time to understand the goals. It’s a thoughtful and deliberate effort to understand your needs and design a page around them.
We’ll meet with you and guide you through the process. Most of all, we’ll listen and use our expertise as web designers to help realize your vision.
The words and images we choose, the placement of buttons and calls to action, the hierarchy of text, even the site loading speed… all exist in service to those goals – your goals.
Web Design for your Bottom Line™
Break Boundaries, Not Budgets
16 years ago, we started with the concept that by leveraging popular web design and off-the-shelf components, we could find that sweet spot between gorgeous but pricey one-of-kind websites on the one hand and reasonably-priced but uninspired design.
The slogan was “Web Design for your Bottom Line” and the goal was to find that sweet spot for businesses focused on real-world results.
The end result is a website you can be proud to show off, performs well in the search engines, converts visitors into clients, and does it all without breaking budgets.
Gorgeous Design
Polished. Professional. Purdy
When you work with Geeks on the Beach, you’ll have your own design team, each with an experienced design team leader.
These designers spend their off-hours scouring the internet, staying on top of trends, and looking for inspiration, all so they can build something beautiful just for you.
Whether simple yet classy or stylish with a side of “wow,” your new website will reflect your brand, audience, and personal taste and will look equally excellent on phones, tablets, and desktops.
Search Engine Success
SEO Goodness Baked Right In
Solid SEO isn’t voodoo, magic, or chance; it’s more like a recipe for success. Our nerdy team knows all the ingredients and lovingly sprinkles that Googley goodness all over every page we build.
We even built a custom tool that strips your page to its essence so you can see what the search engines see when they view your site. It’s like an x-ray for your website, highlighting what’s important and where work needs to be done. Book a demo with us, and we’ll be happy to review your pages together in real time. We use plain language to demystify the SEO experience. We’ll draft a clear and actionable search engine optimization game plan to get you to the top of the results.
Easy to Maintain, Visually
Day-to-Day Editing for Mere Mortals
The tools that we use, like WordPress and Shopify, have a reputation for being pretty easy to use. But we add extra touches that make it easier. Like Divi, one of our favorite visual page builders. It lets us create just about anything you or our talented design team can imagine but is so easy to use that even non-nerds can easily edit and update photos and text.
Our clients can add new team members, update hours, and add services or specials… all without having to phone us. We do the heavy lifting and you handle the day-to-day edits. And if you run into trouble or want to make more significant updates to your site, we’re a phone call away.
