Website redesign: before and after.

Most local businesses aren't losing customers because of their prices. They're losing them in the four seconds it takes to judge a website. Here's a typical starting point next to what we ship.

.comdesign / why-us

Why businesses choose us over a typical web design agency.

Plenty of studios can make something look nice. Here's what actually changes when you work with us.

The typical agency
Common
  • A template with your logo dropped in
  • Twelve weeks, and you chase them for updates
  • Page builder bloat that loads in five seconds
  • SEO sold as a separate retainer, later
  • You need a ticket to change a phone number
  • Launch day, then silence
.comdesign
Our way
  • Designed from your offer, your photos, your market
  • Two to four weeks, with a shared build link from day one
  • Hand-coded and lean — 95+ Lighthouse at launch
  • Technical SEO and schema included, not upsold
  • An editor built for you, plus a walkthrough video
  • 30 days of post-launch tuning on every project
.comdesign / about

A web design studio built around local businesses.

.comdesign is a web design studio in Kitchener–Waterloo, Ontario, and the work we do is simple to describe: we build a website that turns visitors into customers. We are a web design and development studio based in Kitchener, Ontario. We work with owner-operated businesses across Waterloo Region and beyond — the trades, clinics, salons, restaurants and online brands that need a website to actually bring in work, not just exist.

Most of our clients come to us with the same problem. They have a site that was built years ago, or thrown together on a template, and it isn't earning anything. It loads slowly on a phone, it doesn't show up when someone searches their service and city, and it gives visitors nowhere obvious to click. We rebuild those sites from the offer outwards: what you sell, who buys it, and what has to be on the page before someone picks up the phone.

Every project is hand-coded rather than assembled from page-builder blocks, which is why our builds typically launch above 95 on Lighthouse and stay fast as you add content. Technical SEO, schema markup and Google Search Console setup are part of the build, not a separate retainer sold to you later.

Where we work. We take on projects in person across Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph, Elmira and Brantford, and remotely for clients in Toronto, Hamilton, Mississauga, London and throughout Canada and the United States. Local projects usually start with a coffee; everything after that runs over email, a shared build link and scheduled calls.

.comdesign / process

Our web design process: eight steps, no mystery.

You always know what's happening, what's next, and what we need from you. Most projects run two to four weeks end to end.

STEP 01
Discovery call

30 minutes on your customers, your competition and what a lead is worth to you.

STEP 02
Research

We audit your current site, your top three competitors and the keywords worth ranking for.

STEP 03
Wireframes

Structure before decoration. We agree on what each page has to prove before we style anything.

STEP 04
UI design

Full homepage design in Figma, plus a type and colour system for every inner page.

STEP 05
Build

Hand-coded and responsive, on a staging link you can watch fill in day by day.

STEP 06
Testing

Real devices, forms, tracking, accessibility and Lighthouse. Nothing ships on a "should work."

STEP 07
Launch

DNS, redirects, SSL, sitemap and Search Console — so rankings carry over cleanly.

STEP 08
Optimise

30 days of watching real behaviour and tuning the pages that aren't pulling their weight.

.comdesign / clients

Web design reviews from local business owners.

We went from maybe two quote requests a week to six or seven. Same ads, same crew — the website is the only thing that changed.

They found three things in our checkout nobody had flagged in two years. Revenue per visitor more than doubled in the first month.

Two salons, one site, and I can edit both myself. My old developer took a week to change a price list. This takes me a minute.

Clear pricing, clear timeline, and it launched when they said it would. That alone put them ahead of the last two agencies we used.

.comdesign / faq

Web design questions, answered.

A landing page takes 7–10 days. A full business site runs two to four weeks. The variable is almost never us — it's how quickly we get your content, photos and feedback. We'll tell you exactly what we need on day one so nothing stalls.

Most business websites land between $499 and $4,999 CAD depending on page count, e-commerce and integrations. You get a fixed quote in writing before any work starts, and we invoice 50% up front and 50% at launch.

Yes — this is the most common project we take. We map every existing URL, set up 301 redirects, keep your indexed content intact and submit a fresh sitemap at launch. In most redesigns rankings hold steady and then improve as speed and structure get better.

Yes. We move your content, domain and email to a platform you actually own — usually WordPress or Shopify. You keep your domain and your inbox; we handle DNS, SSL and the cutover, typically with no downtime.

That's the point. Every build ships with an editor set up around your actual content — services, staff, prices, gallery — so you're changing text in plain fields, not fighting a page builder. You also get a walkthrough video recorded on your specific site.

Regularly. We're based in Kitchener, Ontario and work with clients across Canada, the US, the UK and the UAE. Everything runs over email, shared build links and scheduled calls in your timezone.

Every project includes 30 days of tuning — we watch real traffic and fix what underperforms. After that you can self-manage or move to a care plan from $79/month covering hosting, backups, updates, monitoring and monthly edits.
