Responsive Web Design: We Ensure Your Website Works Everywhere
What is Responsive Web Design?
Responsive web design solves a critical challenge for businesses: creating websites that look perfect on every device. W3schools.com defines it as using HTML and CSS to automatically adjust a website's layout, ensuring optimal viewing across different screens.
Why Responsive Design Matters
Modern internet users access websites through:
- Desktop computers
- Tablets
- Smartphones
- Various screen sizes and resolutions
Your website must perform flawlessly on all these devices. A poorly designed site can:
- Drive away potential customers
- Reduce user engagement
- Harm your brand's professional image
The Evolution of Responsive Design
In the past, creating a website that worked across multiple devices was:
- Technically challenging
- Extremely time-consuming
- Expensive to develop
Today, responsive design has become a standard practice. Web development platforms and content management systems like WordPress now include built-in responsiveness features.

Professional Web Design Starts With a Plan
Web designs begin by getting an understanding of your current situation– new business, established businesses, a business adapting to online, or even a new client bringing over their website. We look at your competitors in the field (similar field, neighbouring area). Our findings are compiled in a business review to expose your position in your marketplace. In addition, the review gives a view into weak spots that a competitor may have missed (which we can help with, by capitalizing on those opportunities).
Our Web Design Process
A project progesses like this:
- Fill out the Get Started form.
- We deliver a quote for your approval
- When accepted, we share a service agreement to cover the scope of work and the duration of the support agreement.
- We meet to discuss the specifics of your project.
- We gather what we need (logins, company information, images).
- We arrive at a design for the new site,
- We carry out the work involved, sharing updates as we hit project milestones
- When the design is complete, we carry out testing: messagging, functionality, performance, responsive appearance and other important elements of a successful website.
- After the testing passes, we launch the website.
- Following the site launch, we perform ongoing maintenance and support.
Continuity Of Care
Staying engaged in the success of your website is key to keeping your online presence strong.
We follow-up our design work with a web design subscription: a period of support lasting 12 to 48 months depending on the complexity of the design, the amortized portion of the web design fees and the desire to keep us on the team, supporting your online presence.
Our Pricing Model
The Internet is 24×7. Our websites are designed to serve your audience. Your website needs to be available 24×7.
We quote our web designs with two components: design and maintenance. The design fees reflect most of the costs involved in a project; but some of the expense is amortized into the support phase of your website.
We stay actively involved in the success of your website through our web maintenance program.
