The local context

A useful starting point
for a real brief.

The site should help customers find the information appropriate to their situation. A recurring service may need a quick contact route; a prospective property-related project may need coverage details and an explanation of the assessment process. We agree how seasonal changes will be maintained rather than hiding them in dated announcements.

Illustrative situation—not a client case study

A hypothetical Invermere business serving local residents and property owners could separate routine service requests from new project enquiries. Its coverage page would explain actual valley territory, with direct links to the right next step and no claim of an office in each community.

Local planning notes

A website brief
that starts with the place.

Use these questions to shape a useful project brief for Invermere and the customers you serve.

01 / Consider

Organize different customer journeys

A local repeat customer may know exactly what they need, while someone planning ahead needs more context. Use clear service categories and contact options to accommodate both rather than one overloaded page.

02 / Consider

Clarify your valley coverage

Explain whether services are available in Invermere, Windermere, Radium Hot Springs or other communities you actually cover. Keep territory information specific to your own operation.

03 / Consider

Plan useful seasonal content

For visitor-facing or property-related businesses, review which information changes with the season. Define the update process and any connections to external tools before choosing features.

Before the first conversation

Questions to bring

  • Which customer groups need different information before enquiring?
  • Where does your regular Columbia Valley service territory end?
  • What parts of the website need seasonal updates?
Fit and scope

A good fit when
the work has a purpose.

These are possible starting points, not a fixed package. We will define the right deliverables, responsibilities and sequence together.

This may be useful if…

  • Your current site no longer reflects the business
  • People struggle to understand services or next steps
  • You need a new site, landing page or careful redesign
  • You want a direct working relationship from planning to handoff

Depending on your brief

  • 01Discovery, audience needs and content priorities
  • 02Page structure, navigation and search foundations
  • 03Custom mobile-first design and responsive development
  • 04Enquiry forms, appropriate integrations and launch checks
  • 05Handoff documentation and support defined around the brief
From the first conversation to handoff

A thoughtful process.
No mystery steps.

Each project has its own details. A shared sequence keeps decisions visible and the work connected to the original need.

01 / Discover

Understand the work

We discuss your customers, offer, current site and the change you want it to make.

02 / Define

Set the structure

Agree on content, page priorities, technical approach, responsibilities and scope.

03 / Create

Design and build

Review a considered direction, then develop and refine the experience with focused feedback.

04 / Deliver

Check and hand off

Test key screens and enquiry paths, launch with a clear handoff and discuss what follows.

Questions worth asking.

Can the site distinguish local repeat customers from new enquiries?

Yes. Separate service categories, useful contact options and clear content can support different journeys. The exact structure should reflect how the team currently handles those customers, rather than assume a new account system is needed.

Can you work with my existing website and content?

Often. We can review what is useful, identify gaps and agree on what should be retained, rewritten or rebuilt. Important existing URLs and customer journeys should be considered before a redesign.

Do I need all of my content ready first?

No. Bring what you have. During discovery we identify what is missing and agree on who will provide each part and whether content support belongs in the scope.

How long will a website project take?

Timing depends on the pages, content, functionality and feedback involved. We discuss a realistic sequence and agree on timing before production begins; there is no one-size-fits-all turnaround.
