Websites & digital presence for small business owners in BC

A website built from strategy, not a template.

Clariva Studio is the firm's third practice: we turn the positioning and roadmap from your business plan or Growth Audit into a working digital presence — site, brand, local SEO, booking and payments — built by the same firm that wrote the strategy.

Built for BC small business owners: websites wired for booking and payment · brand kits that scale · found on Google where clients actually look

Most small-business websites are bought blind.

Strategy dies in translation
The audit says who to target and what to say. Then a web studio that never read it builds a generic site — and you become the translator between your consultant and your contractor.
Studios sell pages, not clients
The invoice counts pages shipped and revisions used. Nothing connects the design to bookings, calls or sales — so a pretty site can lose money quietly for years.
Invisible where clients actually look
For a local business the search results page is the first impression: your Google profile, reviews, speed on a phone. When those basics are weak, your ad money finishes the job for a competitor.

A presence that executes the strategy — and proves it.

Structure

Strategy-First Architecture

Page structure, copy and offers come from your positioning and client segments — from the Growth Audit when you have one, from a focused intake when you don't. You approve the blueprint before design begins.

Conversion

Built to Convert

Booking, payments, maps, forms, click-to-call — the actions your best clients need, wired in and tested before launch, not bolted on later by a third contractor.

Visibility

Found Where Clients Look

Technical SEO, local landing structure, a Google Business Profile set up properly, a reviews flow — and page speed that passes Google's own benchmarks on a phone.

Ownership

Yours, Measurably

Domain, hosting and analytics registered to you from day one, with conversion tracking wired at launch. Under Site Care you see a monthly report of what the site actually produced. Leave anytime — the site goes with you.

Your website is your hardest-working employee — or your most expensive one doing nothing.

The difference is whether strategy decided what it says, and whether anything measures what it produces.

Four steps. Structure approved before design begins.

Two live products. Built by the same hands.

Our portfolio starts at home: two products we designed, built and run ourselves — the same strategy-first structure, conversion wiring and speed discipline we sell. Don't take screenshots on faith; both are live. Click through.

getflapp.com · AI sports-tech
Flapp — “Your technique, measured.”

Product landing for an AI form-analysis tool for runners and cyclists. Report-first structure that shows the actual deliverable before asking for anything, a three-step how-it-works, tiered pricing with a free entry point, and FAQ — the full conversion path from first visit to signup.

Visit getflapp.com →
getmotus.fit · sports-science SaaS
Motus — the sports-science engine for triathletes

Landing for a training-analytics platform: feature architecture across six product areas, dashboard-led visual proof instead of adjectives, a free-beta signup funnel, and a bilingual EN/RU build — one dark design system carried through every section.

Visit getmotus.fit →

Both are our own products, designed, built and operated in-house. Client Studio work will appear here as it ships — under the same anonymization rules that protect our consulting clients.

Start with the checkup. Every dollar is credited toward the build.

Site Care
CA$190/mo billed quarterly · cancel any quarter

The site stays fast, secure and current — and you see, monthly, what it actually produces. The recurring half of the practice, like Model Care on the finance side.

  • Hosting, software updates & backups
  • Up to 2 hours of content changes per month
  • SEO & Google Business Profile monitoring
  • Monthly traffic & conversion report
  • Priority turnaround: 2 business days
  • Ad campaigns & content marketing (that's Growth Partner)

Start Site Care
Blueprint gate: you approve the sitemap and wireframe before design begins — if we can't agree on the structure, you stop there and owe nothing beyond the Checkup.

Fixed-scope pieces. No hourly meters.

Brand Kit CA$1,490

Logo, palette, typography, voice and a usage one-pager — the same brandbook discipline this site is built on, sized for a small business. Your site, socials and print stop looking rented. Two weeks.

Feature Pack from CA$390

One fixed-scope improvement to the site you already have: a booking form, a payment link, a map & directions block, a new offer page, a Google Business Profile set up properly. Quoted flat, delivered in under two weeks.

Presence Bundle CA$5,190

Growth Audit + Site Build from a single intake — CA$5,190 instead of CA$5,680. The strategy decides what the site says; the site makes the strategy real. One firm, no translation loss.

Brand + Build CA$3,990

Brand Kit + Site Build together — CA$3,990 instead of CA$4,480. The identity and the site are designed as one system instead of two invoices that have to be reconciled later.

The CA$490 Digital Checkup

One week, no meetings required — a written scorecard of your entire digital presence, each gap priced by what it likely costs you. Credited in full toward any build within 30 days.

  • Your site scored on the 20 points that decide whether a visitor becomes a client — speed, mobile, message, action
  • Your Google presence: Business Profile, reviews and local search — what actually shows up when a client looks for you
  • A competitor presence scan: what the businesses winning your clients do differently online
  • A prioritized fix list: what to fix yourself for free, what's worth paying for — and what to ignore
Order a Digital Checkup

If the checkup shows your presence is fine, the report says so — and stops there. No build is pitched that the scorecard doesn't justify.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can't I just use Wix or a freelancer for less?

Yes — and for some businesses that's the right call; the Checkup will tell you if it is. What you're buying here isn't pages, it's the decision layer applied to your site: structure, message and offers taken from strategy, conversion actions wired and measured. A cheap site that says the wrong thing to the wrong people is the most expensive kind.

Do I need a Growth Audit before Studio?

No. Every Site Build includes a focused strategy intake. But if you have an audit, the site is built straight from its positioning and roadmap — that's the point of one firm. Want both? The Presence Bundle — Growth Audit + Site Build — is CA$5,190 instead of CA$5,680.

I already have a site — can you improve it instead of rebuilding?

Yes. That's a Feature Pack: one fixed-scope improvement — a booking form, a payment link, a map, a new offer page, a Google Business Profile set up properly — quoted flat from CA$390. The Checkup will tell you honestly whether your site needs a fix or a rebuild.

Show 4 more questions Show fewer questions
What platform do you build on?

Fast, lightweight sites on modern hosting — the same stack this site runs on — or your existing platform when staying put makes sense. Either way the domain, hosting and every account are registered in your name from day one. No lock-in: leave anytime and the site goes with you.

Who writes the copy and takes the photos?

Copy comes from your positioning — we draft it, you correct facts, not blank pages. Photos: we work with what you have, license stock only where it's honest, and brief a local photographer when the business genuinely needs one (billed at cost, agreed in advance).

What does Site Care cover — and what doesn't it?

Covered: hosting, updates, backups, up to two hours of content changes a month, SEO and Google-profile monitoring, and a monthly traffic-and-conversion report. Not covered: running ad campaigns and content marketing — that's the Growth Partner retainer on the marketing side — and structural rebuilds, which are quoted flat before any work starts.

Can you also write the plan or the growth strategy itself?

Yes — those are Clariva's first two practices: bank-ready business plans and financial models, and growth audits and marketing strategy built from your own client data. Studio exists so that what they recommend actually gets built — by the same firm, from the same numbers.

Stop renting your presence. Own it.

One week and CA$490 — a scorecard of where your digital presence loses clients today, and what fixing it is worth. Credited in full if you build.
