Our Home Town

Why local actually matters

The difference between a good website and a frustrating project usually isn’t technical. It’s whether you can get hold of the people building it. Here’s what working with us actually looks like.

An office you can visit

Our office is on International Boulevard in Burlington. Whether it’s for an initial discovery meeting or a mid-project status update, we welcome the rapport of in-person meetings.

Meet the people building your site

Avoid a faceless account manager relaying messages to someone you never speak to. Our office is in Burlington and you’ll be able to meet with the team managing your project.

We’ve worked with your neighbours

From shops on Brant to warehouses on Mainway, ask around and there’s a good chance someone you know has worked with us.

References you can go and visit

Our clients are not just logos on a page, they are actual Burlington businesses you can walk into and ask how they enjoyed working with Leaf Design.

Who We Work With

Are we a good fit?

We work best with specific types of clients. We’ve outlined what makes for a good match, and what isn’t a good fit.

Most likely


  • You run a Burlington-based business whose website is not pulling its weight
  • You are looking for a team to handle everything from planning and strategy through to design and launch
  • You’re looking for a long-term partnership, not a quick one-off fix
  • You have a starting budget of at least $5,000

Probably not


  • You are a brand-new business with a limited marketing budget
  • You are looking for someone to fix, update, or maintain an existing website built by another web development team
  • You are looking for ongoing social media, paid ads, or content marketing
  • You are looking for instant results without putting in any effort
There are no hard feelings. We’d just rather be upfront with how we work best. Email us anyway and we may be able to point you to someone local who is a better fit.

Ian and Leaf were amazing to work with. Responsive, professional, and helped add little touches we didn't even think of. Our website wouldn't be where it is without them.

Good To Know

FAQs

We’ve compiled a collection of questions that cover most of what our Burlington-based customers really want to know.

Don’t see the answer you were looking for? Please send us a message and we’d be happy to help.
Can I just come by the studio?

We love in-person meetings. While we are happy to meet at our Burlington office, to ensure we can offer our full attention, we require you to schedule an appointment in advance. Either send an email to hello@leafdesign.ca or give us a call at 289-427-0172.

What does a website cost?
We work on many different projects with a wide range of budgets. Generally speaking, our smaller websites for local businesses usually start at around $5,000, whereas our more complex B2B websites are usually priced in the $15,000 to $30,000 range.
Do you work with small local businesses?

Absolutely! Many of our clients are single-location Burlington businesses. Regardless of your size or presence, our priority is to make sure we build a website that achieves the goals your business has set out.

Do you do charity work?
Since our inception, we have always offered a 10% discount for all not-for-profit organizations. For specific causes that are close to our heart, we have been known to provide further assistance on pricing.
Will a new website help me show up on Google?

We build every site to be found properly through the search engines. That includes a solid code structure, optimized speed, and local details that matter in getting your business found. While we don’t currently offer ongoing SEO campaigns, we can point you in the right direction if you need such services.

Do you handle accessibility?

Yes, we are able to help you build an accessible website. While not legally required for smaller businesses, we always recommend that your website be built for WCAG 2.2 Level AA as it helps everyone in the community.

Can I update the website myself afterward?
Yes, and most of our clients do. We build on a platform that allows you to make day-to-day edits without needing to learn any code. Before your site launches, we’ll walk you through a training session so you are well prepared.
What happens after the site launches?

You won’t be on your own, that’s for sure. Whether you are hosting your website with us or not, we are always around for questions afterward. Should you wish to have us handle the ongoing maintenance for your website, we have a variety of maintenance plans available.
