Why Choose a Website from Web Design North?
Web Design North is a website design company based in Northern Ontario. We’ve built websites since 1999 – long before mobile optimization, drag-and-drop editors, or cloud hosting were standard terms. Over the years, hundreds of web design firms have come and gone.
Many enter the market thinking website design is an easy way to make money. They build a small client list but quietly close their doors when the monthly income proves unsustainable. The result? Businesses are left stranded, with no access to their domain names, no way to update their websites, and no one to turn to for support. That “cheap” design quote costs far more in the long run.
On the other end of the spectrum are large corporate agencies. While they may offer stability, the experience is often impersonal. Clients are assigned to developers who’ve just completed a few hours of onboarding. You’re a number in a system, receiving a generic, overpriced solution from someone who doesn’t understand your business.
Web Design North offers a better alternative
At Web Design North, we offer a unique approach. We’re big enough to handle your diverse marketing needs, yet small enough to know your name. We work at a pace that ensures quality without unnecessary delays. Your website will be standard enough to be easily navigated, but unique enough to stand out from the crowd.
Competitive Advantages of Responsive Web Design
Responsive design isn’t just a nice-to-have-it’s a must. We make sure your site works smoothly on all devices, adapts to future changes, and aligns with current web standards. That means lower bounce rates, higher credibility, and a site that’s easier to manage long-term.
Enhanced User Experience
Your website shouldn’t feel like work. If someone must think too hard to use it, they’re probably not coming back. We build sites that are easy to use and make sense at once, so visitors can find what they need and move forward without hassle.
Consistent Brand Presentation
If your branding looks different on every screen, it sends the wrong message. We ensure your site looks sharp and consistent everywhere-from desktop to mobile-so people see a professional business that knows who it is and takes it seriously.
Reach the Right People
You don’t need more traffic-you need the right traffic. We help you speak clearly to the people who want what you offer. That way, your message lands where it counts, and you stop wasting time and money on the wrong audience.
Accessibility for Everyone
Everyone should be able to use your site. We build with accessibility in mind, so people with disabilities don’t get left out. And if you need complete ADA or AODA compliance for legal or industry reasons, we can quote that and get it done properly.
Faster Load Times
Nobody likes waiting for a slow site to load. We streamline your site, so it runs fast, especially on mobile. That means more people stick around, fewer leave out of frustration, and your rankings boost too.
Run Smoother
When your site is built correctly, everything works better. Pages load faster, updates go smoother, and you won’t need to keep calling for fixes. We keep things clean under the hood so you can focus on your business, not your website headaches.

References
When you’re shopping around for a professional web designer, don’t forget to ask for at least three references. Often, just by viewing the portfolio page, you can contact someone at that company to ask about their experience with the web designer. Create a list of relevant questions like, “Were they professional?”, “Are they Reliable?”, “Did they come in on budget and on time?”
Web Design North is confident in its products and services and treats each project as its best work, so you’re encouraged to contact our references. To find out what business owners are saying about WDN, read our testimonials.
Request a QuoteSkills and Qualifications
Some firms only specialize in one area like graphic design or website development, while others are more versatile, and offer both website designing and hosting. It’s important to ask questions about professional qualifications, accreditations, and memberships to find out about organization experience, both technically and creatively.
Web Design North offers the complete package, from consulting, development and search engine optimization to graphic design, marketing writing, and web hosting. From small business to large corporate websites, from a static HTML website to a database driven Content Management System, Web Design North can create a custom site suited to your unique needs.

Past performance predicts future performance. A portfolio will give you a good idea of the type of work you can expect from that particular company. When you’re looking at the portfolio, pay particular attention to the look and functionality of the site. Is it attractive? User-friendly? Professional-looking? Is there a consistent quality to the work? Web Design North is proud of every website it develops. Check out our portfolio.

We will listen to your ideas and then come up with some on our own. You know your products and services better than anyone and you need a web developer who will listen to what you want designed and how you want it displayed. There are times however when you will need some insight into what works and what doesn’t. With our knowledge of website design and your knowledge of your business we can present your ideas in an exciting and professional website.
Request a QuoteLongevity
WDN has been programming websites since 1999. There are thousands of website design startups every year and in that same year just as many close their doors. We have helped many clients recover their websites from companies that just shut down their servers, leaving their customers’ websites lost to cyberland. We love what we do, and being open for over 20 years shows our longevity.
Request a QuoteCurrent with Trends
Some web developers get stuck in a development rut. They design sites that worked five years ago but are missing the current design trends and features. Some companies can make a graphically appealing website but don’t think about search engines. Some sites look amazing on a desktop but not on a mobile device. Some companies add new technology just because it is the latest fad, instead of techniques that have a track record of getting positive results. Our professionals know how to design a site with a modern look, while remembering that its primary function is to attract customers for your business.
