N° 03 Field notes — Richmond

What we know about building here.

¶ 01

The market

Richmond's economy runs on logistics, food, retail, and trade - and a huge portion of it is bilingual. We build Richmond sites that serve English- and Chinese-speaking buyers equally well, that load fast on mobile (because Richmond shoppers compare on the spot), and that present your business with the polish the local market expects. From import/export firms near YVR to the restaurants on No. 3 Road, we know what wins here.

¶ 02

The economy

Richmond has the highest proportion of ethnic-Chinese residents of any Canadian city - over 50%. That changes the digital playbook in real ways: simplified Chinese language pages, WeChat-friendly social proof, and review sources like Dianping or RedNote matter as much as Google. English-only sites systematically leak qualified traffic here.

¶ 04

A local quirk worth naming

Richmond is built on a river-delta floodplain - average elevation around 1 metre. Hosting providers and CMS platforms that publish edge locations should be a factor in any conversation about uptime here, because storm-season power events happen and the city's businesses have low tolerance for downtime.

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.
