Rough Works

Rough Works is a small web agency based in Vancouver, Canada, founded in 2014, working with businesses that have outgrown earlier, dated websites. Its case studies span sectors including e-commerce, law, insurance and surety, product/B2C, tech and SaaS, manufacturing, trades and construction, energy and utilities, public companies, and alcoholic beverage brands, indicating a client base that spans small businesses through more established or regulated industries needing a full rebuild of their web presence. The agency's declared services cover web development, web design, e-commerce development, SEO, low/no-code development, and market research. On the development side, it works across WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, Adobe Commerce, WooCommerce, Framer, Figma, and a modern stack including Node.js, React, Next.js, TypeScript, Astro, Tailwind, PostgreSQL, Stripe, and Three.js, selecting the platform based on project needs rather than a single default tool. E-commerce work ranges from boutique shops to larger catalog-based stores. Additional offerings include managed hosting with 24/7 monitoring and security, SEO audits, Google Ads consulting, and analytics-led research. For branding, video, photography, and illustration, the agency works with external creative partners while handling technical delivery itself. Its stated process moves through discovery, planning, build, and ongoing post-launch tracking and adjustments, and it notes using AI tools to speed up development work.
