The Web Smith

Based in Campbell River on Vancouver Island, this small web studio (team of 1-10, founded in 2015) works with small and mid-size organizations, including local businesses and non-profits. Clients mentioned in its portfolio include a glass company, a literacy association, a social justice non-profit, and an e-commerce start-up, reflecting a focus on regional Vancouver Island clients rather than a specific industry niche. Services are delivered in both English and French, and the studio positions itself around close client collaboration and on-time, on-budget delivery. The core offering centres on WordPress development, covering both simple brochure-style sites and more complex, results-driven digital builds. Alongside this, the studio provides search engine optimization with ongoing performance follow-up, e-commerce solutions, graphic and web design, and digital marketing/content support. Work with non-profit clients has included guidance on visual elements, website add-ins, fundraising platform integration, social media direction, and features supporting diverse ability inclusion. The process is described as collaborative, with attention paid to a client's written content, brand voice, and site structure, and projects typically begin with a consultation to define goals before design and development work proceeds.
