N° 03 Field notes — Fort St. John

What we know about building here.

¶ 01

The market

Fort St. John sits a long day's drive north of our studio, and that's exactly why our process was built to work remotely - half our BC clients have never needed us in the room. The Energetic City runs on the Montney: energy services, the trades that support them, and the agriculture that was here first. Sites up here get browsed from trucks, camps, and shop floors, which means fast pages on patchy LTE, tap-to-call numbers, and service areas spelled out plainly. Whether you're a contractor working Charlie Lake to Wonowon or a main-street retailer on 100 Street, we build the kind of site that wins work in a market where reputation travels fast.

¶ 02

The economy

The economy is energy-led but cycle-hardened: gas activity in the Montney sets the tempo, Site C construction wound down into operations, and agriculture on the plateau steadies the base. The practical upshot for a website is resilience - it has to generate leads in the busy years and keep the pipeline warm in the slow ones, because the region swings harder than anywhere else in BC.

¶ 04

A local quirk worth naming

FSJ has one of the youngest populations in BC - a median age around 31 - and the Peace doesn't observe daylight saving, so booking tools and Google Business hours configured for Pacific time quietly display wrong half the year. We set both up properly the first time.

Filed under Index 08 // questions
  1. How long does a typical project take?

    Most websites launch in 4 to 6 weeks. We give you a fixed timeline up front and we hit it. No endless "coming soon" phases.

  2. Do you offer hosting and maintenance?

    Yes. Fully managed hosting on a global edge network with security monitoring, daily backups, and direct access to our team for support.

  3. How much does a website cost?

    Every project is different, but most of our custom builds land between $6,000 and $25,000. We give you a transparent fixed quote after our first conversation - no hidden fees, no surprises, no runaway hourly bills.

  4. Will my website be mobile-friendly?

    Always. We design mobile-first because that's where most of your traffic comes from. Every site we ship is fully responsive, accessible, and tuned for Core Web Vitals.

  5. Can I update the content myself?

    Yes - we can build you a content management system if you want to manage updates in-house. Most clients prefer to text or email us small changes; we usually turn them around within a business day.

  6. Will it actually help me get more leads?

    A pretty site is useless if it doesn't convert. Every page we design has a clear purpose and a measurable conversion goal - calls, quote requests, bookings, or purchases. That's the whole point.

  7. Do you use templates or themes?

    No. Templates are slow, generic, and impossible to differentiate with. We build everything custom from a design system tailored to your brand and your buyers.

  8. Who actually owns the website?

    You do. 100%. You own the code, the content, the domain, and the assets. No licenses, no lock-ins, no hostage situations.

  9. Can you handle the copywriting too?

    We can - and we will when needed. You know your business best, but we'll happily write the whole site for you or work alongside your existing copywriter.

  10. What happens after the site launches?

    We don't disappear. Most clients stay on with us for managed hosting and ongoing improvements. You get priority support, regular performance reports, and a partner who actually picks up the phone.
