What we know about building here.

¶ 01

The market

Kamloops sits at the crossroads of the Thompson-Nicola - and businesses here serve everything from ranching country to the city's growing tech and education sectors. We build Kamloops sites that handle that range: ag and trades sites with no-nonsense lead capture, professional services with TRU-area polish, and tourism sites built around the city's outdoor and tournament identity.

¶ 02

The economy

Kamloops runs on three engines: Royal Inland Hospital (the city's single largest employer), Thompson Rivers University, and the BCLC head office downtown. Beneath that sits a heavy resource economy - New Afton, Highland Valley Copper, Domtar pulp, Tolko - all of which need B2B vendor sites and procurement-friendly content. The 2025 Coeur Mining acquisition of New Gold (US$7B) put New Afton on a longer runway and meaningfully boosts the local mining-services market.

¶ 04

A local quirk worth naming

Kamloops is the only Canadian city officially branded the 'Tournament Capital of Canada' - 100+ amateur tournaments a year. Hospitality and service businesses time campaigns around the tournament calendar, not the retail one. A site that bakes tournament-weekend SEO and booking-funnel logic into a hotel or restaurant client speaks the local economic language fluently.

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.
