VDT SITESTwo small business website packages and nothing hidden between them. Bigger builds cost more and we tell you the number before any work begins, so nothing arrives as a surprise on an invoice.
$899
one time, then $40 a month
$1299
one time, then $40 a month
Whichever you pick, the monthly is what keeps it running. There is no separate hosting bill and no renewal spike in year two.
Tell us about the business, by phone or email, and we will come back with a fixed written price. If it suits you it is 50% to start and the balance when the site goes live. The quote is free and there is nothing to sign to get one.
Once we have your content, most sites are live in three to four days. That is the $899 website package; extra work bought alongside it is quoted and scheduled separately. The main variable is how fast we get your photos and feedback, not the build.
Day one
A free quote, then a written breakdown of the site: every page and what sits on it. Home carries the intro, services, testimonials and the rest; a projects page carries your projects. You see the whole structure before anyone designs anything, so there are no surprises about what you are getting.
Day two
Design begins once we have everything we need from you: your text, photos and any details we asked for. You review it, and revisions happen here. This is also the step that decides the timeline, because the clock only really starts when your information arrives.
Day three
The site gets built out, and anything that comes up along the way gets changed as we go. You watch it take shape instead of waiting for a reveal you either love or quietly do not.
Day four
If everything is on track, we point your domain at the site, test your contact form, and send you a short info sheet: how to reach your admin panel, how to edit your own pages, and details for anything extra you bought alongside the site.
The full list
The numbered sections below are the complete list of what VDT does: websites, hosting and care, local SEO and search, design and brand, and custom apps. If the thing you need is not on it, ask anyway. The list grows when clients do.
Every site is built for your business rather than assembled from a template. Fixed price quoted up front, so you know the number before anyone starts.
The full price list, published →A website designed from scratch around your business, not a template with your logo dropped in. We plan the layout, write the structure and build a site that looks like nobody else's, then make sure it loads fast on every phone.
Turn a slow, dated or hard-to-edit website into something modern. We rebuild the site, keep the pages and rankings you already have, and move you onto hosting that does not break every time something updates.
Complete websites for local businesses, from a clean one-page site to a full multi-page build. Fixed price quoted up front, built to load fast and turn visitors into phone calls, with everything set up and ready to go live.
Online stores with secure payments, product management and a checkout that works properly on a phone. We set up the products, shipping and payment processing, then show you how to manage orders yourself.
A single focused page built to convert, for a campaign, a new service or an ad. Fast loading, mobile first, with one clear call to action and a contact form that lands straight in your inbox.
The monthly fee covers everything it takes to keep the site online, current and safe. One bill, one person to call.
What the care plan covers →Fast, secure hosting on Cloudflare's global network. Your domain, SSL certificate, backups, security monitoring and ongoing support are all included in one flat monthly fee, with no surprise renewal spikes.
Ongoing updates, edits, security patches and support so your site never goes stale. Text and image changes handled for you, plus monitoring so problems get fixed before your customers notice them.
We register and manage your domain name for you, including DNS setup, renewals and email routing. No juggling logins with a registrar you signed up for years ago and can no longer get into.
A site nobody can find is a poster. The search groundwork is built into every project, and we go further when you need to compete locally.
How we sell SEO in Nanaimo →Get found by customers searching in your own city. We optimise your website and Google listing for local searches, fix the technical basics, and build the location signals that get you into Google's map results.
Claim, verify and fully build out your Google listing: categories, services, service areas, description, photos and posts. This is what decides whether you appear when someone nearby searches for what you sell.
On-page SEO built into every site: clean page structure, fast load times, proper titles and descriptions, structured data and a sitemap Google can actually read. The groundwork that lets you rank at all.
A site and a brand that were designed apart always look it. We do both, so yours match.
Logo design in Nanaimo →A custom logo built for your business, delivered in every format you need for web, print and social. Designed to sit properly on your website rather than as a separate file that never quite matches.
Colours, typography and visual style pulled together into one consistent look across your website, signage and social media, so your business is recognisable wherever a customer runs into it.
VDT is two people. Sem runs the websites side, Phillip runs the app side, so a project that outgrows a website does not have to change companies.
If what you need is closer to an app than a website, tell us what it has to do and we will scope it with you properly. That includes telling you when a website would do the same job for less, which is more often than most agencies will admit.
These normally turn up as separate charges from separate companies, each renewing on its own date. All of them are inside the $40.
Definitely recommend these two amazing guys. Great delivery time and performance!!
Tell us about the business and we will come back with a straight answer on what it needs and what it costs. The quote is free and there is no pressure attached to it.
Once we have your content, most sites are live in three to four days.
Want numbers before a conversation? Fair. The pricing is published, including where the affordable web design price comes from. Site exists but shows its age? Start at website redesign.
Running a non-profit or a registered charity? The build changes enough that it has its own page: non-profit website design.
Right here in town? Most of our work starts at home: website design in Nanaimo.
Based down-island? We build for Victoria and the Capital Regional District too: website design in Victoria, and if the site exists but nobody finds it, SEO in Victoria.
Elsewhere on the island? We build in Parksville, Duncan and the Cowichan Valley, the Comox Valley, Campbell River and across Vancouver Island.
