Accommodation and vacation rentals
Direct booking or a clear enquiry form, so more guests come straight to you instead of through a platform that takes a cut. Photos first, rates second, directions third.
Oceanside, Vancouver Island
Web design for Parksville and Qualicum Beach, in season and out
Summer brings visitors searching from the ferry, the campground and the beach. The rest of the year brings locals comparing trades, clinics and services. We build sites that handle both, from our base in Nanaimo, about half an hour down Highway 19.
Two audiences, one website
Businesses along the Oceanside coast serve two very different groups. From late spring to early fall, visitors look for places to eat, stay, rent a kayak or book a tour, usually on a phone and often before they arrive. The rest of the year, the customer is a local homeowner looking for a roofer, a landscaper, a dentist or a bookkeeper.
A good site for this area answers both. Seasonal hours that are right in July and in January, an enquiry form that works on a phone at the beach, and pages for year-round services that can rank for searches like “landscaper Qualicum Beach”. Our Hosting & Care plan covers those seasonal changes for CAD $129 a month: you send the new menu or the winter closing dates, and we put them up.
Who we build for between Nanoose Bay and Qualicum Bay
Tours, rentals and outdoor activities
A schedule, a price, a booking button and a cancellation policy, all readable on a phone with weak signal. Online booking is an add-on from CAD $350.
Restaurants, cafés and bakeries
A menu written as text rather than a blurry PDF, hours that match Google, and a map pin that puts people at the right door.
Trades and home services
Service pages that name Parksville, Qualicum Beach, French Creek and Errington, a gallery of local jobs, and a quote form that asks for photos.
Health and professional services
Qualicum Beach in particular has many retirees. Clinics, practitioners and advisors do well with larger text, a phone number in plain sight and no pop-ups.
A season-ready site has
- A banner for seasonal hours, closures and holiday changes
- Booking or enquiry forms that work on mobile data
- Google Business Profile hours that match the site
- A page for each service and each community you serve
- Photos compressed so they load on campground Wi-Fi

Off-island searches start weeks before the trip
Many Oceanside customers find you long before they arrive. Someone planning a week at the beach searches from home on the mainland, compares three places, and books the one whose site made it easy. That search is not “near me”. It names the town, so your pages need to say Parksville or Qualicum Beach in the title, the heading and the copy, the way people type it. Our local SEO service covers that structure and the Google Business Profile behind it.
If you also sell things people want to take home (preserves, art, gear, gift cards), an e-commerce website from CAD $4,500 keeps sales coming in the quiet months when walk-in traffic drops.
One of our clients, Athecon Projects, has framed townhomes on Hirst Road in Parksville, and their project gallery shows how a contractor can present local jobs town by town.
Meeting in Parksville or Qualicum Beach
We are in Nanaimo, about 30 minutes south of Parksville. Most projects run by phone, email and video, and when it helps to see the shop, the rental or the product, we drive up. The price is the same as at home: CAD $790 for a one-page site, CAD $970 to $2,000 for a Starter site, CAD $2,500 to $4,500 for a Business site. More on how we work with clients close by is on web design in Nanaimo, and further north on web design in Courtenay and Comox.

Questions people ask
Do you meet clients in Parksville and Qualicum Beach?
Yes, when it helps. We are based in Nanaimo, about half an hour south, and can visit your business. Most of the work happens by phone, email and video call, so projects move just as fast without a visit.

A one-page website is CAD $790, a Starter site of 1 to 5 pages is CAD $970 to $2,000, and a Business site of 6 to 12 pages is CAD $2,500 to $4,500. Online stores start at CAD $4,500. Every quote is fixed and in writing before work starts.
Can my website take bookings for my rental or tour?
Yes. Online booking is an add-on from CAD $350, and it works on phones. If you only need enquiries, a form that asks for dates and group size is included in every site.
Who updates my website when the season changes?
We do, on the Hosting & Care plan at CAD $129 per month: send the new hours, prices or photos and we update the site. Small edits are free for 30 days after launch, and you can add a plan at any time after that.
Do you work with businesses in Nanoose Bay, Errington and Coombs?
Yes. They are on the same drive from Nanaimo and we treat them the same way as Parksville. We can give each community you serve its own section or page, so Google connects you with searches there.
