We Handle the Moving Pieces.
Timelines, deliverables, developers, details. We manage the process so you're not stuck playing project manager.
Creative Meets Technical.
Design, development, SEO and AEO aren't separate conversations here. We consider how everything works together.
We're In Your Corner.
We care about the work, the relationship and what happens after launch. We're here to be a resource, not just another invoice.

-
Professional website design in Canada can range from a few thousand dollars to $20,000 or more, depending on the size, complexity, functionality and level of customization required.
At Olive Grey Creative, new website design and development projects start at $5,000 CAD.
We focus on creating strategic, thoughtfully designed websites that support your business goals, not just something that looks pretty on a screen.
-
Most small to medium-sized business websites take approximately 4–8 weeks to design, develop, test and launch.
Larger websites, e-commerce stores or projects requiring custom functionality may take longer.
The timeline also depends on how quickly content, photography and feedback are provided.
At Olive Grey Creative, we manage the design and development process from start to finish, so you're not left wondering what happens next.
-
Because a pretty website is only half the job. And we're pretty damn good at the other half, too.
Olive Grey Creative is a Vancouver-based boutique web design and development agency combining creative thinking, technical expertise and digital strategy to build websites that actually work for your business.
From custom website design and development to SEO, Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), user experience and conversion optimization, we look at the bigger picture.
We work across WordPress (Elementor and Divi), Shopify, Squarespace and Wix, finding the right solution for your business rather than forcing you into one platform.
With over 10 years of digital project management experience, we know how to take an idea and turn it into something great, without leaving you to manage all the moving pieces.
And there's a reason our agency has grown primarily through referrals. We're good at what we do, our clients know it, and they're happy to tell other people about it.
No unnecessary complications. No cookie-cutter websites. Just really good creative and technical work from a team that knows what they're doing.
-
DIY website builders can be a great starting point, especially for businesses with limited budgets.
But if you've spent hours adjusting layouts, fighting with mobile formatting or Googling why something isn't working, it might be time to call in a professional.
Hiring a web designer and developer gives you access to expertise in user experience, responsive design, functionality, SEO and conversion optimization.
More importantly, it gives you your time back to focus on running your business.
-
Look for a web design agency that understands both design and business strategy.
A good agency should have a strong portfolio, experience with your preferred platform, a clear project process and knowledge of SEO/AEO, user experience and website performance.
At Olive Grey Creative, we combine creative design with technical development and ongoing optimization.
We're based in Vancouver, BC, and work with businesses looking for a creative partner who can take the lead and actually execute.
-
If your website looks outdated, isn't mobile-friendly, loads slowly, is difficult to navigate or isn't generating inquiries, it might be time for a redesign.
Another big sign? Your business has grown, but your website still reflects where you were three years ago.
A professional website redesign can improve your visual identity, user experience, website performance and conversion opportunities without necessarily starting your entire online presence from scratch.
-
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) helps improve your website's visibility in traditional search engines like Google.
AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) focuses on making your website's content clear, relevant and useful for answer-driven search experiences, including AI-powered tools like ChatGPT.
Both matter. SEO helps search engines discover and understand your website, while AEO focuses on answering the questions your potential customers are asking.
At Olive Grey Creative, we incorporate SEO and AEO strategies to help businesses improve their visibility across traditional and AI-powered search experiences.
-
There's no single best website platform. It depends on your business, your goals and how you plan to use your website.
Shopify is a strong choice for e-commerce businesses, while WordPress /Elementor or Divi offers flexibility for content-heavy and highly customized websites.
Squarespace and Wix can be excellent options for businesses that prioritize design, usability and content management.
Olive Grey Creative works across WordPress, Elementor, Divi, Shopify, Squarespace and Wix.
We'll help you choose the platform that makes sense for your business, rather than forcing you into one particular system
-
Absolutely. Businesses still need professional websites, but expectations have changed.
It's no longer enough to have a website that just looks good. Today's websites need to be fast, mobile-friendly, easy to navigate and optimized for search engines and AI-powered discovery.
With more businesses competing online, professional web design, development, SEO and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) remain important for building credibility, attracting customers and growing a business.
