Vancouver / Web design

Web design for Vancouver businesses that need the site to sell, not just to exist.

Conversion-focused websites built from analytics, architecture, and proof—not a brochure assembled from a theme.

The problem

What is usually broken is not the design.

A founder has a book, a podcast, three ventures, and no place where the whole story makes sense.

The content exists. The experience does not. Visitors meet disconnected brands and platforms instead of one clear point of view, so adding another page only creates another place to maintain.

“A founder site is an editorial system before it is a technical one.”

That is why architecture comes before components. We decide the narrative order, what each venture is allowed to claim, and what the site needs to absorb next. The design becomes simpler once the story has boundaries.

Selected work

Proof, with the caveats left in.

Two different businesses. No new market, magic traffic source, or convenient rewriting of what happened.

5xonline sales

A terms update removed checkout overnight. We moved 290 products from Wix to WordPress and WooCommerce, integrated Clover POS, rebuilt the catalogue taxonomy, and put authenticity signals where a collector looks before spending four figures.

Honest limitationThis was treated as an emergency, so it rebuilt what existed rather than asking what the catalogue should have been. Service revenue is still uncaptured online, and these lighters get repaired rather than replaced.

7-fignew annual recurring revenue

Three weeks, a fixed launch date, and desktop Figma prototypes with no mobile version. We coded the HubSpot CMS front end, designed the missing breakpoints, and rebuilt navigation for three very different advisor audiences.

Honest limitationThe mobile layouts did not exist. They were designed and built in the same pass while the launch date stayed fixed.
Google reviews / Web design

The website reviews, in their words.

Every review on the Jackai Agency Google Business Profile that specifically mentions website or web-design work.

★★★★★

“No amount of kind words can express the level of satisfaction I have after working with Josh and his team. I had hired three different agencies over the past two years and was met with being charged 50% up front, zero results, and almost no communication. Josh solved all the so-called ‘unsolvable problems’ and was able to make me two perfect sites. Both sites were leaps and bounds over what I ever could have wished for or expected. Highly, highly recommended!”

“I’m constantly impressed by Joshua Jackai’s web and graphic design skills, his ability to quickly create designs that highlight the message, and his personable, thoughtful working style. He thinks strategically about how design can help achieve business outcomes like increasing sales and boosting brand presence. The most common thing I hear him say is, ‘No problem, I’ll take care of it.’ And he does. I recommend Joshua to any business looking to grow their visual brand presence.”

“Joshua can do it all! From his great attention to detail to his communication skills, he can create and facilitate anything you need. He helped me with some social media work as well as website and design work, and always answered my many questions very patiently throughout the process. He also explains things to help you understand for your own future knowledge. All-around great designer and human!”

Services / Platforms

Web design services on the platform you already run.

Migration is worth paying for only when staying put costs more.

01

WordPress & WooCommerce

Custom Bricks builds, catalogue structure, POS and inventory sync — not a purchased theme with the demo content swapped out.

02

Shopify

Storefront design and theme development for DTC brands, with catalogue and product imagery systems built to scale.

03

HubSpot CMS

Figma to production, with HUBL templates a marketing team can edit without opening a developer ticket.

04

Framer & Webflow

Marketing sites where speed to launch matters and a founder needs to edit pages without breaking the layout.

05

Conversion optimization

Click-through, cost per click, bounce, time on page and add-to-cart read as one sequence before design begins.

06

Front-end development

Responsive and accessible on the first pass, with Core Web Vitals measured where they matter: on a phone.

The process

Dates and deliverables. Not a philosophy.

Most builds run four to eight weeks end to end. A single landing page runs one to two.

The call

03
Weeks 1–2

Architecture

Sitemap, page inventory, keyword set, and the decision about what the site should stop doing. Most of the value gets decided here.

Vancouver / Remote

Local when it matters. Portfolio when it doesn’t.

Joshua Jackai is based in Vancouver, British Columbia, and most web design and development work ships across Canada and the United States.

Being local matters when a Gastown retailer’s online inventory has to agree with the till at the counter. It does not matter for a HubSpot front end delivered on a three-week deadline for a client nowhere near this city.

The honest answer: hire locally when the work touches the physical business, and hire on the portfolio when it does not.

Questions we get asked

Straight answers. No qualifying call required.

How much does web design in Vancouver cost?

A five-page small business website starts at CA$4,950, a landing page at CA$3,795, a custom B2B website at CA$7,450, a marketing site of eight to fifteen pages at CA$10,495, and an ecommerce build or migration at CA$15,995. Moving platforms without a redesign starts at CA$2,500. Every price is a fixed quote. If you are not sure the site is the problem, start with the CA$995 teardown, which comes off the project price if you go ahead within thirty days.

What is the teardown?

One week, CA$995. We read your analytics and your funnel, pull the pages apart, and hand you a ranked list of what is costing you money and what to fix first. You keep the document whether or not you hire us. It is the lowest-risk way to find out whether the website is even the problem.

How long does a website take?

Four to eight weeks for most builds. One to two weeks for a single landing page. Six to ten for an ecommerce migration with a catalogue and a POS integration.

How quickly will you reply once the project starts?

Within one business day, usually the same day. You deal with Joshua directly, not an account manager, and each phase has a date on the calendar before it starts. If something slips, you hear about it before the deadline, not after it.

What does the quote include, and will there be extra fees?

The quote is fixed and lists every page, feature and deliverable. It includes two rounds of revisions per phase. Anything new you ask for later gets its own written price before work starts, so nothing appears on an invoice you have not agreed to. You own the finished site, the domain and the hosting account.

What happens after the site launches?

We measure the launch against the baseline taken before the build, then fix what the numbers show in the first weeks. After that, the optional care plan covers updates, security and content edits from CA$279 an hour. The site, domain and hosting stay in your name, so you are never locked in.

Do you build websites for small businesses and startups in Vancouver?

Yes. The small business website covers up to five pages in two to three weeks from CA$4,950, or CA$5,950 on WordPress. It includes a contact form that records where each enquiry came from, local search setup, a video showing you how to edit the site, and 30 days of fixes. If you only need one page for an ad campaign, a landing page starts at CA$3,795.

Will a new website help my business rank on Google and get more leads?

It can, if search is built into the structure instead of added later. Every build ships with schema markup, clear headings, fast pages and the tracking to show which channel each lead came from. No one can promise a ranking. What you get is a site Google and AI tools can read, and numbers to judge it by.

Is a custom web designer still worth it when AI can build a website?

For a simple page, an AI builder is fine. It gets harder when the site has to win work. That takes positioning, proof and pages that answer buyer questions. It also means being named when someone asks ChatGPT or Google who to hire in Vancouver. That part is judgement, and it is what you pay a designer for.

Which platform should I build on?

Usually the one the business already runs. Migration is worth paying for when the current platform can take something away from you, which is what happened to a Gastown retailer when a terms of service update removed the checkout.

Do you work with businesses outside Vancouver?

Yes. The work ships across Canada and the United States. Local presence matters when the site has to talk to a physical store or a point of sale system, and matters much less when it does not.

Can my team edit the site afterwards?

Yes, and this is designed in rather than added after. On HubSpot CMS the templates are coded so marketing edits pages without a developer. On WordPress the build ships on Bricks Builder with editable sections.

Will a redesign hurt my search rankings?

Only if the redirects are not mapped. Every migration ships with the old URLs pointed at their replacements, schema revalidated, and rankings watched for the following ninety days.

Do you do the ads as well as the site?

Yes. Meta Ads, Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn, design and media buying. When both are in scope, the ad promise and the landing path are measured as one sequence so the page answers the reason someone clicked.

What if the problem is not the website?

Then we say so on the call. Sometimes the funnel read shows the offer or the traffic source is the constraint, and a redesign would be an expensive way to avoid the real fix.
