Web design for Canadian businesses, built for how Canada actually works.
Kootenay Made Digital is based in Castlegar, British Columbia, and builds custom websites for small businesses across Canada. Remote-friendly, time-zone aware, and built with the Canadian details that matter: CASL, accessibility, taxes, and the way Canadians actually buy.
A Canadian business needs a website that understands Canadian rules and Canadian customers.
Most website templates are built for a generic, US-first internet. Canadian businesses have to think about CASL consent for email, the Accessible Canada Act and provincial accessibility laws, GST and PST, Canadian payment habits, and sometimes bilingual needs. A website built with those in mind looks more credible and avoids expensive surprises, whether the business is in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, or a small Kootenay town like ours.

What businesses across Canada ask first.
Do you work with businesses across Canada or only in BC?+
Both. KMD is based in the Kootenays in BC and works remotely with small businesses across Canada. The work is custom and built around the client real market, not a generic template with a city name swapped in.
Do you understand Canadian rules like CASL and accessibility?+
Yes. Canadian websites should account for CASL consent on email, the Accessible Canada Act and provincial accessibility laws, GST and PST, and Canadian payment habits. KMD builds with those in mind so the site stays credible and avoids surprises.
Can you set up a store for Canadian taxes and payments?+
Yes. Shopify and custom stores can be configured for Canadian payment methods, GST and PST, shipping, and pickup, so checkout feels normal and trustworthy for Canadian shoppers.
Is pricing in Canadian dollars?+
Yes. KMD pricing is in Canadian dollars. Custom websites start from 2,000 dollars, Shopify builds from 5,000 dollars, branding from 1,000 dollars, and Empire builds from 15,000 dollars.
How does remote work across time zones go?+
Smoothly. KMD works on Canadian time and keeps the process simple: a short discovery, clear approvals at each step, and writing, design, build, SEO setup, and launch all handled for you.
Why choose a Kootenay studio over a big national agency?+
You get senior, custom work without agency overhead or hand-offs. The same person who plans the site builds it, the copy and SEO are included, and the result is a premium custom website, not a templated one.
