Services · The offering in depth

Website design and brand built for service businesses

Archie is an independent design and web studio in the Greater Toronto Area. We do one thing: design and build a brand-led website for your service business, with brand identity and a working design system bundled into every single project.

No retainer-only traps, no surprise scope. One product, three sizes, a fixed price you see before you sign.

One bundled product

Brand, system, and site. Never sold apart.

Most studios sell you a logo, then a website, then ask you to glue them together yourself. We do not. Every Archie project is a single engagement that produces three things designed to work as one.

Your brand identity defines how you look. Your design system makes that brand reusable on every page you will ever add. Your website is the place that turns a searcher into a booked client. Built together, they stay consistent. Built separately, they drift apart within a year. That is the entire reason we bundle.

One product · Three sizes

Pick the size. Not the parts.

The deliverable is the same shape every time: brand, design system, and a custom site. The size scales with how much you need. Every tier includes your first month of maintenance and SEO free.

What's in the price

Honest about what we don't bill.

A clear line between what every project includes and the few third-party costs that are genuinely outside our control.

Always included
  • Brand identity (logo, type, color)
  • Design system sized to the project
  • Custom Next.js build, mobile-first
  • WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility
  • On-page SEO + analytics setup
  • Lighthouse performance budget (90+)
  • 30-day post-launch monitoring
  • First month maintenance + SEO, free
Billed separately
  • Hosting (usually free on our Vercel builds)
  • Domain registration + email forwarding
  • Stock photography or custom shoots
  • Third-party tools (Cal.com, Resend, etc.)

These are pass-through costs paid to other providers, not Archie markups. We tell you the real numbers up front.

After launch · One bundled plan

Stay live. Stay growing.

$199/ month · all-in

Every Archie project includes your first month free. After that it is a single $199/mo plan that bundles site maintenance with monthly SEO blog work. It is the full plan or nothing. We do not split it apart.

We recommend continuing. A fresh blog post every month signals to Google that your site is active, which compounds your ranking over time. There is no contract and you can cancel whenever you want.

What the $199/mo plan covers

  • Monthly SEO blog post

    Researched, written, and published on your site

  • On-page SEO optimization

    Keyword tracking, meta refreshes, schema upkeep

  • Site uptime + performance

    Monitoring, dependency updates, security patches

  • Content + small design tweaks

    Copy edits, image swaps, minor design adjustments

  • Search Console + analytics review

    Monthly report on rankings, traffic, conversions

Bundled together. Maintenance and SEO blog work as one plan, not separately. Skip it entirely if you would rather.

How we work

A three-act process. No surprises.

Each phase ends with a tangible deliverable, an approval moment, and a clear handoff to the next. You always know where the project stands and what comes next.

01

Discover

We meet, scope the work, audit what exists, and write the brief. Your fixed price is locked before anything is signed.

02

Design

Tight feedback loops in Figma with real, clickable prototypes. You are never guessing what the finished site will look like.

03

Deliver

Production-ready code, an asset library, and a launch we run with you. We monitor for 30 days, then the work is fully yours.

See how this played out on a real project: the HyperTherapy case study, brand and website shipped in 14 days.
