Web Design & Development

Websites built to work after launch.

For Canadian organizations and companies whose website has outgrown the way it was built.

CLIENT LOGOS

Over 200 websites built across Canada

We’ve built websites for universities, non-profits, health clinics, dental offices, charity organisations, factories, shops, engineering firms, law offices, online retailers, unions and advocacy groups, multinationals as well as local businesses making their community better.

 

Here are some examples below!

Why websites fail quietly

A website can look great and still fail quietly. People end up on your website but leave before taking the action you need from them.

The issue is usually deeper than design. There are a lot of pitfalls! In some cases, the navigation confuses people and does not lead them to contact someone; in some others, the fields in the contact page discourage filling it out. Two examples out of many that might be stopping you from hitting your goals.

A website needs a clear goal first. We define that goal, then design around it.

A few numbers from our web projects:

A decade of building websites. Here’s what that looks like.

THE PROCESS

How web projects work with us

You see what we are building before it becomes expensive to change.

Step 1

Discovery & Strategy

We look at your goals and anything that already works. Then we turn it into a clear plan.

Step 2

Design & Build

You review the mockups before development starts. Once approved, we build a site your team can manage without calling us for every small edit.

Step 3

Launch & Support

Before launch, we test the site and train your team on the CMS. After launch, some team want us to handle updates while they work on SEO. Others want the opposite. You’re not locked in.

Tell us what you have. We'll make sense of it.

Old website, an idea, a brief, an RFP, a short deadline, or a half-built WordPress site. Send it over and we’ll tell you what the next step should look like.

Web Design & Development Services

What we can build

Website Development

New websites and redesigns for teams that do not want to need a developer for every small edit.

E-commerce

Stores built to sell in Canada and abroad, with secure checkout, clean shipping rules, and a dashboard you can use without a developer.

Planning & Mockups

You see the important pages before we code them. This way, you can give us feedback and avoid saying “wait, that’s not what we meant.”

Content & Copywriting

Clear copy is for humans first. The structure we use also helps search engines and AI tools understand what each page is about.

Accessible Websites

Web design and development services compliant with WCAG standards. We have hands-on experience with deaf-blind accessibility.

Responsive Design

Mobile-friendly designs that look good on phones, tablets, laptops, and the oversized screens in boardrooms.

Speed Optimization

Our websites are fast by default, because performance should not become a post-launch emergency.

Website Maintenance

Monitoring, security updates, backups, small content edits, and someone to call when your website needs attention after launch.
WHY APONIA

Why teams choose us

We start with the real job

Every page needs a goal. Sell, book, explain, reassure, recruit, donate, apply. We design around the action that matters.

You'll retain control of everything

You keep control of your code, hosting, domain, and content. No vendor lock-in.

Built to last longer

Websites with clean code, fast performance and without excessive plugins. Built so the next update does not turn into a rescue mission.

Clear communication

You get direct answers and practical guidance without the marketing agency theatre.

One team, fewer loose ends

Website, marketing, automations, integrations, maintenance. You don’t have to translate the same project to five vendors.

Deaf-blind accessibility support

Every website is built with WCAG standards in mind. We also developed solutions for the deaf-blind community, giving us practical experience most agencies don’t have.

Industries

We know your world

A clinic, a manufacturer, a foundation, and a school board do not need the same website. The structure, language, privacy concerns, accessibility expectations, and calls to action change.

Manufacturing & Industrial
Non-Profit & Community
Professional Services
E-Commerce & Retail
Healthcare & Dental
Construction & Trades
Government & Institutional

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you protect our SEO during a redesign?

Yes. We review current pages, metadata, redirects, analytics, and content that already performs before rebuilding. A redesign should not wipe out years of search visibility.

Yes. More than half of our websites are built in English and French with appropriate SEO settings for each language. We have also built websites in Spanish and Arabic.

For Québec organizations, yes, we can help with the website side: forms, consent flows, cookie tools, privacy-page structure, hosting choices, and data-handling basics. Legal compliance should still be reviewed by your legal advisor.

Typically 6 to 10 weeks. Complex builds can run longer. We give you a clear timeline upfront and stick to it.

Yes. The code, hosting, the domain name and all content are yours, no vendor lock-in.

Yes. Your website can be hosted on our own infrastructure in a Canadian datacenter, with a free SSL certificate, twice daily backups, continuous monitoring, and server-side security.

Feel free to use any hosting provider of your choice as well.

We provide ongoing maintenance for your website including security updates, backups, performance monitoring, and content updates.

Yes. Many clients continue with SEO or Google Ads after launch, with the same team already familiar with the project.

Half of our clients are organizations: non-profits, foundations, associations, public-sector groups, health teams, schools, and community services.

The other half are private companies that need a website for leads, sales, recruitment, or operations.
