Web design · Ottawa
Web design in Ottawa, built to win the client.
Custom-designed websites for Ottawa businesses. Fast on every screen, set up for search, and hosted and looked after by the same people who built them.
What's included
Everything a business website needs
A website has one job: turn a visitor into an enquiry, a booking or an order. This is what goes into every one we build.
02
Fast on every screen
Built mobile-first on a modern stack, so pages load quickly on the phone most of your visitors are using.
03
Set up for search
Clean page structure, titles, descriptions and structured data, so search engines can read what you do and where you do it.
04
Content you can edit
Change text, photos, news and schedules yourself from a simple admin. No developer and no page builder to fight.
05
Booking and payments
Online booking, quote requests, deposits and checkout when the site needs to do more than describe your business.
06
Hosted and looked after
Managed hosting from $10 a month with SSL, daily backups, monitoring and updates handled for you.
Why Poki Labs
One team, start to finish
We're a software agency based in Ottawa. The team that designs your site also builds it and hosts it.
A fixed quote before work starts, so the price is known up front.
You see the design and approve it before it's built.
Working previews along the way, so you're never left guessing how it's going.
We host and maintain what we build, so there's one team to call when something needs changing.

Questions
Asked before every project
How much does it cost?
It depends on the scope, so every project is quoted individually. The quote is fixed: you know the full price before any work starts, and it only changes if the scope does. Hosting starts at $10 a month. Prices are in Canadian dollars, before tax.
Can I update the website myself?
Yes. We build content management into the site so you can change text, images, news and schedules without a developer. St. Mary's Parish, for example, posts its weekly schedule, bulletins and news from its own admin.
Can you redesign or replace my existing site?
Yes. St. Mary's Parish came to us with an aging WordPress site that was hard to navigate and harder to update. We rebuilt it on a modern stack that the parish now keeps current itself.
Will my site show up on Google?
We build in the technical groundwork: fast pages, clean structure, metadata and structured data. Rankings also depend on your content and your competition, so we don't promise positions.
Do you only work with Ottawa businesses?
No. We're based in Ottawa and have built sites for clients in Toronto and Carleton Place as well. The whole project can be handled remotely.
