Graphically Speaking

Custom websites for businesses across Western Canada

Graphically Speaking is a web and ecommerce agency based in Vancouver, British Columbia. It designs and builds websites and online stores for companies and organizations across the region, and by its own account it has worked on digital products for more than twenty-five years, from mid-size firms through to major brands. The agency describes itself as an award-winning digital team and as one of the largest ecommerce agencies in Western Canada.

Website design and development is the first service in its offer. The agency builds sites intended to tell a client's story, sell its products and keep visitors on the page for longer. Its designs aim for clear navigation, layouts that adapt to phones, tablets and desktop screens, and a visual style that matches the brand. Development follows the design stage, with the goal of a site that performs well once it is live.

Online stores on Magento and WooCommerce

Ecommerce work covers both business-to-business and business-to-consumer selling. Its online stores are built to raise revenue, reduce operating costs and build customer loyalty, and that the shopping path is planned to turn a first visit into a repeat purchase. The platforms it works with are Magento and WordPress with WooCommerce, so a client can choose the system that fits how its store will be run and maintained.

Magento builds are offered for Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Saskatoon and Regina, while WordPress and WooCommerce work is listed for the Alberta cities, Winnipeg, Saskatoon and Regina. Ecommerce website design is offered in the same centres, which places the agency's store work across Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba as well as its home province.

Connecting websites to legacy systems and third-party software

Integration is the third service. The agency links a client's website to older internal systems and to third-party applications so that routine processes run automatically rather than by hand. It presents this as a way to improve customer service, lower costs and keep daily operations running smoothly. The work is framed as part of a wider effort to make a business's digital platforms function as one system.

Search, paid advertising and content for targeted visitors

Digital marketing and SEO combine search engine optimization, pay-per-click advertising and content marketing. The stated purpose is to bring more targeted visitors to a client's website, improve its position in search results and make marketing spend return more. The agency treats these channels as parts of one plan, so that a site's search presence and its paid advertising support each other rather than competing for the same budget.

Support after launch

Once a site or store is live, Graphically Speaking provides continuing support and maintenance, which it describes as keeping digital platforms performing well over time. It works with companies and organizations that sell, serve or inform the public. Each engagement begins with an understanding of the client's goals and audience, so that the solution is shaped to the business rather than taken from a standard template.

Cities served across four western provinces

The agency lists work across British Columbia in places such as Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Mission, Burnaby, Coquitlam, Delta, Kelowna, Langley, Maple Ridge, North Vancouver, Prince George, Richmond, Surrey, Victoria and Whistler. It also covers Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, with ecommerce and web development offered for Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Regina and Winnipeg. Its base is in Vancouver, and its clients range from mid-size businesses to large brands.
