Watch the new canadianrail.ca move.

Every first visit opens with the Canadian Railway Solutions logo drawing itself in. After that, every page change sweeps a railway curtain across the screen and names the stop you are heading to, all the way back to "Next stop: Home."

This is a real screen recording of the live site at phone size, nothing sped up. Phones also get an app-style tab bar and a one-tap call or text button, because a lot of their visitors are out in the field.

Same tracks, brand new train.

The new canadianrail.ca is live. Canadian Railway Solutions trains crews, audits industrial rail sites, inspects track and investigates derailments, on-site anywhere in Canada from Calmar, Alberta. Their clients are safety managers and procurement teams, so the site had to look as serious as the work.

What we built:
• A cinematic, scroll-driven homepage that rolls down an industrial spur toward a tank car loading rack
• Mega menus with a photo for every service and guide
• An app-style tab bar and a one-tap call or text button on phones
• A railway page transition that names the next stop
• A new Baseline Assessments page and a rewritten COR and SECOR page
• Accessibility and SEO scored 100 in Lighthouse on every public page at launch

Congrats to Shaun and the whole Canadian Railway Solutions team. Link in the first comment.

Twelve years in, and the thing that has changed least is the part that matters most: somebody has to actually finish the work.

We started in the North Okanagan in 2014 and we are still here, in Spallumcheen, a few minutes north of Vernon. The clients are not all here anymore. There are sites of ours running in Ontario, Alberta, and Pennsylvania, and none of those projects were harder because of the distance.

Tools change constantly. Frameworks, platforms, whatever the acronym is this year. What does not change is whether the thing loads fast, gets found, and makes the phone ring.

Still the same job. Still the same address.

We do not put a lot of stock in awards nobody has heard of. Reviews are different. They are written by people who paid us and had to live with the result.

Twenty of them so far, all five stars, from BC to Ontario to Pennsylvania.

If you are shopping around for anyone right now, web design or otherwise, that is the section to read. Not the portfolio, not the about page. The reviews, and specifically the ones that mention what happened after the project ended.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to leave one.

Three cards. One fits. ✨

Meet Vetta, a new Canadian app for finding local pros you can actually trust: therapists, dentists, realtors, accountants and more. Every regulated pro is licence-checked against their provincial regulator before they show up. It's one of ours. We're building the app and the website, and now the brand.

The logo is a fanned deck: two pros you passed on, and the one you chose. Lime is the only colour in the whole system, and it always marks the one thing to do next.

What's in the box:
✔ Five colourways, five logo layouts
✔ Business cards, letterhead and a "Verified on Vetta" window decal
✔ Stitch-ready embroidery files
✔ App icons, favicons and social covers
✔ A 25-page brand guide covering logo, colour, voice and imagery

You look at your website on a big monitor, on office wifi, logged in, on a browser you have used for ten years. Your customer does not.

They are outside. One thumb. Half their attention. Two bars of signal. They are going to give you about eight seconds before they decide whether you look like a real business.

So go do the test properly. Grab your phone, turn off wifi, and open your own site like a stranger would. Try to find your phone number. Try to fill out the form. Try to close the menu.

If any part of that annoyed you, it is losing you work right now.

Meet the new OnGuard. .solutions 🛡️

Dean and the OnGuard team handle mold remediation, water damage and reconstruction for property owners across Metro Vancouver. Their shield was already known, so we kept it, redrew it as clean vector, and built a sharper logo and a full brand package around it.

What's in the box:
✔ Five colourways, four logo layouts each
✔ Print-ready business cards, lawn sign and letterhead
✔ Stitch-ready embroidery files
✔ Social covers, favicons and an email signature
✔ A 13-page brand guide so it looks right every time

Read the exit clause before you read the pricing page.

Plenty of website platforms are genuinely good. The catch is never the monthly fee, it is what happens when you want out. Can you take the code? Do you own the domain, actually, in your own name? Is your customer list exportable or does it live in their box forever?

We have moved businesses off platforms where the answer was no to all three. It is not fun and it is not cheap, and it is entirely avoidable at the start.

Your website is not a subscription. It is a piece of equipment your business runs on. Own it like you own the truck.

The boost button is designed to be easy, not effective. Those are different goals.

Here is what happens when you boost. The post goes to the people most likely to like it, because engagement is what the button optimises for. You get likes. You feel good. Nobody calls.

A real campaign is boring by comparison. Pick one thing you want more of. Send the traffic to a page built for that one thing, not your homepage. Track whether the phone actually rang. Turn off what did not work and put the money into what did.

That is the whole difference. It is not clever, it just requires deciding what you want before you spend.

Every few months somebody sends us a brand new website and asks us to add the SEO.

It does not really work like that. The parts that matter most got decided before a single word was written. How the pages are structured. What each one is actually for. Whether the URLs make sense. Whether Google can read the thing at all.

Bolting SEO onto a finished site is like adding plumbing after the drywall. Possible, expensive, and never as good as doing it in the right order.

If you are planning a rebuild right now, this is the cheapest moment you will ever have to get it right. Six months from now it is a renovation.
