Web design Vancouver: sites built remotely, in Pacific time
We design and build websites for Vancouver businesses, remotely, from Casablanca. Vancouver is eight or nine hours behind us, so we share one short call window and move the rest of the work in writing. BC sales tax, privacy rules and languages are settled before any code.

Vancouver, from Casablanca
Why Pacific time still works
Web design Vancouver teams can book from Casablanca works best when you plan for the gap instead of hiding it. Vancouver is eight hours behind us in summer and nine in winter. Your end of day lands before the start of ours, so a full day of work is waiting when you log in.
Pacific time is UTC-7 from the second Sunday of March to the first Sunday of November, and UTC-8 the rest of the year. Casablanca stays on UTC+1, or UTC+0 during Ramadan, which narrows the gap by one hour.
Count a 09:00 to 18:00 day in Casablanca. In summer your 09:00 to 10:00 is our 17:00 to 18:00, one shared hour. In winter your 09:00 is already 18:00 here, so the call sits at the very end of our day.
We are not a Vancouver office. Decisions go into the shared hour, and everything else is written down with screenshots and a preview link. This page sits inside our website design services for Canadian businesses, part of the Canada hub.
British Columbia rules
What a Vancouver site has to get right
Tax and payments. British Columbia charges 5 % GST and its own 7 % PST. Which items carry PST follows BC rules, so your accountant decides and we configure and test it. Checkout connects to providers that serve Canadian merchants, such as Stripe, PayPal, Square and Moneris. For a self-hosted shop, see RAIN Store.
Privacy and accessibility. BC has its own private-sector privacy law, PIPA. PIPEDA covers federally regulated businesses and data that crosses borders. Public bodies in BC have separate rules about where data may be stored, so tell us early if you sell to them. The Accessible British Columbia Act starts with public-sector organisations. Confirm the details with your lawyer.
What we build
One site in more than one script
Metro Vancouver has large Chinese-speaking and Punjabi-speaking communities, and some businesses sell to both. Scripts differ in fonts, line breaks and text length, so we test the design with real text. A native writer supplies the words.
- A language switch and one URL per language
- Fonts and line breaks tested for each script
- Language tags, so search engines show the right version
- GST and BC PST set up and tested at checkout
How a project runs
One live hour, then a build while you sleep
Send your notes at the end of your day. A full working day of build time passes while you sleep, and the next preview is waiting when you log in. Calls stay short and are kept for decisions.
- A written update after every working day
- A preview link that always shows the latest build
- A decision log, so nobody repeats a discussion
Services
Services for Vancouver businesses
Vancouver’s economy mixes port and trade, film and television production, technology and tourism. Those sites carry heavy images, enquiry forms and visitors from other countries, so we build fast media and clear forms first.
- Website design: layouts and visual design for studios, tourism, trade and technology businesses.
- Custom web development: Next.js, React and Laravel builds for sites, portals and APIs.
- Ecommerce development: stores with GST and PST zones and payments through Stripe, PayPal or Square.
- SEO services: titles, structured data and language tags, so each version of the site can rank on Google.ca.
- Business automation: connect forms, orders and spreadsheets, so staff stop retyping.
- Managed hosting: SSL, daily backups and monitoring after launch.
Other Canadian cities: web design Calgary (Mountain time) and web design Toronto (Eastern time).

FAQ
Questions from Vancouver buyers
What businesses in Vancouver ask before they book a call.
No, if you plan for it. We share one hour in summer and none inside our normal day in winter, so calls are short and written updates carry the work.
2
Can you build a site in Chinese or Punjabi as well as English?
We build the structure: the language switch, one URL per language, fonts, layouts and search tags. A native writer should supply the copy, because tone matters more than a literal translation.
3
Can the store charge both GST and BC PST?
Yes. We set up tax zones, test checkout totals against examples from your accountant and connect payment providers such as Stripe or PayPal. Your accountant confirms which items carry PST.
4
Where will my website data be stored?
We agree the hosting region with you before any customer data is stored. Tell us early if a contract or a public body requires data to stay in Canada.
5
Does a Vancouver site need to meet accessibility rules?
It depends on your sector and size, and some customers set their own rules. We write the target into the scope. WCAG 2.1 AA is the usual choice.
6
Do you have an office in Vancouver?
No. We work remotely from Casablanca and meet on video. If an in-person meeting matters most to you, a local studio is the better fit.
