Downtown and the Inner Harbour
Tourism, hospitality and retail, with visitors off cruise ships, ferries and float planes. Fast mobile pages, clear hours, and booking that works for someone who arrived an hour ago.
Greater Victoria, served from Nanaimo
Web design for Victoria businesses, from a studio 1.5 hours north
We are not in Victoria. Island Web Design Studio is a Nanaimo studio that works with Greater Victoria businesses remotely and drives down the Malahat when meeting in person is worth it. In return you get the person who builds your site on every call, and prices that are published.
Why a Victoria business would hire a Nanaimo studio
Victoria has plenty of web agencies. The reason to work with us is not location, it is the setup: you talk to Konstantin, the person who designs and codes your site, from the first call to the last fix. Nothing is passed to a junior or sent overseas. Prices are on the pricing page, and every quote is fixed and in writing before work starts.
Remote work is normal for us anyway. Even clients in Nanaimo mostly prefer email and short calls. For Victoria nothing changes except the occasional drive, and at about an hour and a half each way, we make the trip when there is a real reason: a kickoff, a look at your premises, or a walk-through of the finished site.
How a remote project works
First call
By phone or video. We go through your current site, your Google listing and the sites you compete with for the same searches.
Written quote
One fixed price, 50% to start and 50% at launch. It changes only if you add something.
Design on a shared link
You see the design on your phone and laptop, leave comments, and get two rounds of changes.
Build and launch
Hand-coded in Next.js, hosted on a global CDN, with Search Console, Analytics and structured data. Most small business sites take 1 to 3 weeks once content is in.
After launch
30 days of free fixes, a 12-month warranty, and an optional care plan from CAD $35 per month.
Different parts of Greater Victoria, different searches
Langford, Colwood and the West Shore
Fast-growing suburbs with new homes and young families. Trades, childcare, fitness and health services that need to show up for “dentist Langford”, not only for “Victoria”.
Saanich, Oak Bay and Esquimalt
Established neighbourhoods with professional services, clinics and home services. People often search by neighbourhood, so the site should name the areas you serve.
Sidney and the Saanich Peninsula
Close to the Swartz Bay ferry terminal and the airport, with independent shops, marine businesses and farms. A mix of local and visitor traffic.
Standing out in a bigger market
Search results in Victoria are more crowded than in smaller Island towns, and a generic five-page site has a hard time standing out. Depth is what helps: a page per service, a page per area you really serve, real project photos, and answers to the questions customers ask on the phone. That is the core of our local SEO service and of a Business site from our website design service, at CAD $2,500 to $4,500.
If you already rank for something and want a better site, a website redesign keeps the URLs and content Google trusts and rebuilds the rest. Moving from Wix, Squarespace or WordPress with rankings kept starts at CAD $300.
For more than a brochure site, such as a client portal, a booking system or an AI assistant that answers questions after hours, see web apps and AI.

Our work, and where it is
Our published case studies are from central Vancouver Island and beyond, including P3 Mechanical & Electrical and UPGREAT Home Renovations in Nanaimo. None of them is a Victoria business, and we would rather say so than imply otherwise. Open them on your phone and judge the speed and structure for yourself.
If your business is in the Cowichan Valley rather than the city, see web design in Duncan. Our home page for clients close by is web design in Nanaimo.
Questions people ask
Are you based in Victoria?
No. We are based in Nanaimo, about an hour and a half north of Victoria, and work with Greater Victoria businesses by phone, video and email. We visit in person when it is useful, for example for a kickoff meeting or a walk-through of the finished site.
How much does a website cost in Victoria?
Our websites cost CAD $790 for one page, CAD $970 to $2,000 for a Starter site of 1 to 5 pages, and CAD $2,500 to $4,500 for a Business site of 6 to 12 pages. Online stores start at CAD $4,500. Prices are the same across Vancouver Island, and every quote is fixed and written.
Do you work with businesses in Langford, Saanich and Sidney?
Yes, anywhere in Greater Victoria, including Colwood, Oak Bay, Esquimalt and View Royal. We often give each area you serve its own page, because people search by neighbourhood and suburb, not only by Victoria.
Can a new website help me rank in Victoria?
It can help, but nobody can honestly guarantee rankings. We build the foundations Google looks for (structured data, fast pages, a page per service and area, a matching Google Business Profile), and our Monthly Local SEO plan from CAD $150 per month keeps that work going.
How long does a website take if we never meet in person?
The same as for local clients: 1 to 3 weeks for most small business sites once the content is ready, and about a week for a one-page site. Everything is reviewed on a shared link, so distance does not add time.
