The company's Thunder Bay website design work starts with how people in the city look for local services. Every site is mobile-friendly and loads quickly on a phone. Page structure is planned around the search terms that customers in areas such as Port Arthur and Westfort type into Google. Search work happens during the design stage, so a new site goes live with its page titles, headings, descriptions and local content already in place. Photographers and videographers work on location in Thunder Bay, so each site can use original photos of the client's team and premises.

"We like to start every Thunder Bay project by sitting down with the owner and listening to how their customers find them today," said a Web Design North spokesperson. "A plumbing shop in Current River and a tour operator near Kakabeka Falls get their calls in different ways. Once we understand that, we can plan the pages and the search work around it. Our goal is a site the owner is proud to share, and that keeps bringing in new inquiries."

Web Design North provides consulting, marketing writing, development and web hosting, so one team looks after a site once it is live. Sites can be simple static pages or a full content management system, depending on how often the owner plans to make updates. Design choices often draw on natural colours and familiar Northwestern Ontario scenery, which local customers tend to respond to.

Businesses in Thunder Bay and nearby communities such as Murillo and Red Rock can request a quote for a first website or for the redesign of an older one through the company's online form.
