Toronto's web design agency built to convert.

A custom site is hand-coded for your brand from the ground up — no page builders, no pre-built theme, no plugins stacked on top of plugins. That means faster load times, cleaner SEO, total design freedom, and no vendor lock-in. You own every line of code. We still do WordPress and Shopify when the job calls for it — but 'custom' is now our default.

Both, depending on your team's needs. For content-heavy sites we plug in a modern headless CMS (Sanity, Contentful, or similar) so your team can edit pages without touching code. For landing pages or tightly-scoped marketing sites, flat content is often the faster, cheaper path. We'll recommend the right fit in discovery.

You do. Full source code, full access, zero lock-in. You can walk the project to any developer on earth and they can pick up tomorrow. We're not in the business of holding your site hostage.

Yes. Content migrations, URL + 301 redirect maps, and SEO preservation are standard parts of our launch playbook. We've migrated sites off WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Shopify, and custom legacy stacks.

We recommend — and usually set up — modern edge hosting (Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare). It's fast, reliable, and inexpensive. If you'd rather we manage it for you end-to-end, our Hosting & Care retainer covers hosting, backups, updates, and a monthly hour bank.

That's our default — we are those teams. Creative Scope is a full-service agency, so the site is built in lockstep with SEO, paid, and lifecycle from day one. If you have in-house or other agency partners, we integrate with them cleanly.

It depends on scope — a tightly-scoped marketing site is very different from a multi-locale e-commerce build. We scope every project custom and quote based on what the site actually needs to do. Book a discovery call and we'll walk you through rough ranges within the first 15 minutes.

Everything is in-house at our Toronto studio: web designers, front-end developers, SEO and copy. Nothing is subcontracted overseas, so the people you meet on the discovery call are the people building your site — and the same team is still here when you need changes a year later.

If your organisation has 50 or more employees in Ontario, yes — the AODA's Information and Communications Standards require public-facing websites to conform to WCAG 2.0 Level AA. Below 50 employees you are not currently captured by that requirement. We build every site to the standard regardless, because it overlaps almost entirely with the accessibility and mobile work Google already rewards.

Yes. The whole team works out of one studio on Lisgar St. Discovery sessions, content and photo days, and launch walkthroughs can all happen face to face. Plenty of clients never come in and that is completely fine — but the option exists, which it does not with an offshore team.

Local ranking comes down to proximity, prominence and relevance. We handle the on-site half: service pages, neighbourhood pages, LocalBusiness schema, consistent name-address-phone details, and a site fast enough to hold a mobile visitor. We also set up and structure your Google Business Profile, which is where most of the remaining leverage sits.

Per hour, usually. Per outcome, usually not. Offshore quotes rarely include strategy, QA, accessibility or SEO scaffolding, and the rework tends to land back on you. We quote the project rather than the hour, so the number you are given is the number you pay.

No. We are based in Toronto and most of our clients are in the GTA, but we build for businesses across Ontario and Canada — Ottawa, Hamilton, Calgary, Vancouver — and in the US. The local advantages simply matter more when you are selling locally.
