Campbell River · North Island

Website design for Campbell River businesses.

Custom websites for charters, trades, tourism operators and shops in Campbell River, from $899 CAD plus $40 a month with hosting, domain and support included. Built on-island in Nanaimo, priced in writing before we start, and made to be found by locals and visitors alike.

Built for how Campbell River does business

The Salmon Capital runs on seasons, bookings and word of mouth. A website here has a different job than one downtown Vancouver, and we build for that job.

Built for a seasonal, visitor-driven town

Campbell River businesses live on two clocks: locals year-round and visitors in season, planning from far away. We structure sites for both, so a local finds your hours and phone number instantly, and a visitor researching the Salmon Capital from another province gets photos, prices and a way to book before they arrive.

One call away, same island

We are a small company by choice, and the thing we sell hardest is service. When you have a question, you reach Sem or Phillip, the two of us who actually built your site, by one email or one phone call, and you hear back within a day. No ticket queue, no account manager relaying messages up and down the island.

Built to be found, not just to look good

A site that never appears in search is a poster. Every build ships with the search groundwork already in it: clean page structure, fast loading on a phone, proper titles and descriptions, structured data and a sitemap submitted the week you launch. Not an upsell on a later invoice.

You can update it yourself

Change text and images directly on your live page: click the text, type the new version, save. Swap the catch photos, update the season's prices, mark the boat as booked. No dashboard to learn, and no invoice for a five minute edit.

What we have actually built

A coffee roaster with a real online store. A Japanese vehicle importer in Parksville. A counselling practice that left Squarespace, a food truck run from the owner’s phone, and an accounting firm whose old site had been invisible to Google for years. Every build is written up properly, and the reviews are reproduced word for word.

Every one of those businesses reaches us the same way you would from Campbell River: one message, answered by the person who built their site. We also serve the Comox Valley just down the highway, and the rest of Vancouver Island.

Who you’d actually be working with

Every site we ship is designed and built by the two of us, no subcontractors and no account managers in between.

Common questions

Do you really work with businesses as far up as Campbell River?
Yes. Our clients are spread across Vancouver Island and almost none of them have ever needed us in the room: everything runs by phone, email and video call, and questions get answered within a day by Sem or Phillip, the two of us who build every site. Campbell River is a morning's drive up the highway from us in Nanaimo, same island, no ferry, so if a meeting ever genuinely matters, it happens.
How much does a website cost in Campbell River?
Ours start at $899 CAD for the build, plus $40 a month covering hosting, your domain, SSL, backups, monitoring and support. The price is fixed and quoted in writing before any work begins, and it is the same in Campbell River as it is two blocks from our desk in Nanaimo.
Can a website really bring in tourists and visitors?
For a Campbell River business it is often the whole game. A visitor planning a fishing trip, a whale watching tour or a week on the North Island books from a phone, weeks ahead, from somewhere else entirely. If your site loads fast, shows real photos, answers the obvious questions and takes the booking or the call, you win trips that were decided before anyone reached town. That is exactly the kind of site we build.
How long does it take?
Once we have your content, most sites are live in three to four days. The slow part is almost never the build, it is waiting on text, photos and approvals, so the fastest projects are the ones where the owner has those ready. For seasonal businesses we plan around your calendar: the right time to build is before the season, not during it.

Tell us about your Campbell River business.

What you do, who you want to reach, and what your current site is getting wrong if you have one. You get a fixed written quote back, free, with no obligation attached to it. If we are not the right fit we will tell you and point you somewhere that is.
