are you thinking of your website properly?
growth-focused websites that increase your bottom line.
Just making people go weak in the knees with fancy graphics isn’t enough to generate business.
Neither is just telling people what you do.
For your website to make an impact, it has to be designed to attract, nurture, and convert your customers – otherwise it’s just an expensive billboard.
At ethos, we analyze customer behaviour patterns, look at search trends, and apply our understanding of behavioural psychology to design a digital journey that leads to conversion and growth for your business.
We believe in creating lead generating, customer experiences – not just a website.
Our Focus
attract, educate, & convert your customers
We focus on building websites that convert your customers by focusing on being:
Search-Engine
Ready
SEO best practices are implemented from within before we launch to ensure it's doing all it can to grow traffic.
Customer-Focused Design
Our websites not only generate leads, but are built around what your customers actually want, need, and are looking for.
Conversion-
Optimized
We build every page with an understanding of how we want the customer to act on it and what a conversion is.
This means you get a website that does your work for you and converts leads into customers.

How We Work
our process
Review Current Site & Data
In a world flooded with data, we start every project conducting research and interviews that gives us invaluable insight into what your brand is and should become.
Customer-Focused Goals
Based on what we learn during research, we set specific, customer-focused goals for each section of the site, making sure that everything we deliver makes an impact.
Create Designs & Outlines
At the centre of a great brand is a bold idea and a clear philosophy that resonates with people. This becomes the pillar that everything brand (and company) is built around.
Create Conversion-Focused Content
This is the flag you fly. Your BIG IDEA. The value you bring to customers. But it isn’t just what you want it to be. It’s a combination of your opinions and those of your customers. We express this with a clear mission and purpose, values we co-develop, and keywords that drive your messaging.
Incorporate Your Brand Identity
We make sure your logo, imagery, and brand identity are guided by your value proposition. All the designs we build and naming recommendations we make are backed by research and justified with compelling explanations – not fluff.
Launch The Site!

When I came to Ethos, I didn’t really know what I wanted. All I knew was that it had to be simple, beautiful, and showcase my photography. The team there blew me away and my site has paid itself off 1000x over. Seriously, they are amazing.

How much does a good website cost?
There are a lot of variables at play when it comes to building a great business website, but we do our best to simplify it for you.
Our basic business websites begin around $4,000 and go up from there, depending on your specific needs such as messaging, SEO, marketing funnel design, etc.
How long does it take to design and develop a website?
Most websites take between four and six weeks to complete. However, this depends on the complexity of your needs and the speed at which you get us the right content. We supply a customized timeline as a part of our proposal process.
Do I need a domain name?
Every website needs a domain name to be found. If you don’t already have one, we can assist you in setting this up.
Will my website work on mobile devices?
100%. Because of the way Google ranks websites, we build all of our websites with a ‘mobile-first’ approach. Your site will specifically be designed to look and work great on all device types including mobile, tablet, and desktop.
Do you do E-commerce/Online Store websites?
Yes we do! We specialize in E-commerce websites on both WooCommerce and Shopify.
What is a Content Management System (CMS)?
A Content Management System is a web-based tool that makes it easy for you to update your website, without needing to know any code or technical skills. With a good CMS (such as WordPress) you can add and edit pages, images, products and blog entries easily.
Do you provide training for your websites?
Absolutely. For every build, we provide all of our clients with website training to help you keep your website updated.
What is Search Engine Optimization (SEO)?
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is all about making sure that your website shows up high in the Google rankings for your selected topics, when people are searching for them. There are many factors that go into achieving great SEO, but one of the most important is the quality and relevance of the copywriting on your website. It is considered organic marketing.

How long will it take to get on the first page of Google?
Your SEO timeline depends on a number of factors including your content, location, and the competitors in your field. We provide initial SEO configuration on all the websites we build, but it’s more than likely your website will require more than this to be competitive.
