Small Business Websites
Clear websites built around what customers need to understand and do.
That might mean a new website, a redesign, or improving a site that has become difficult to use or manage.

Web Design for Richmond Small Businesses
Richmond businesses serve many different customers — and sometimes more than one language.
Whitespace Studio builds practical websites for restaurants, local services, independent professionals, and other Richmond businesses that need a clearer path from discovery to action.
Working in Richmond
Different businesses need different customer paths.
A restaurant may need customers to find a menu, hours, location, and ordering link within seconds.
A professional service may need to build trust before someone feels ready to call or book.
A retail or destination business may simply need to make the decision to visit easier.
Richmond also has many customers who move between English and Chinese when they search, compare, and ask questions.
That doesn't mean every business needs a fully bilingual website.
It means language should be considered when it genuinely affects the customer journey.
The objective is not to fit every Richmond business into the same template.
It's to make the next step easier for the people the business actually serves.

We can discuss your project in English, Mandarin, or Cantonese.
If your customers use more than one language, we can also help decide whether a full bilingual website or selected Chinese-language content actually makes sense.

Real businesses. Different problems.
We don't approach every project the same way.
Start with the problem, not the page count.
You don't need a finished brief. Tell us what's getting in the way — in English, Mandarin, or Cantonese — and we'll help figure out what actually needs to change.

Questions before you start.
A few things people usually want to know before starting a website project.
Do you work with businesses in Richmond?
Yes. Whitespace Studio is based in Vancouver and works with businesses in Richmond and across Metro Vancouver.
Most projects can be handled remotely, and we can meet locally when seeing the business or workflow would help.
Can we discuss the project in Mandarin or Cantonese?
Yes.
Project communication is available in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese.
If your customers use both English and Chinese, we can also discuss whether a fully bilingual website or selected Chinese-language content makes more sense.
How much does a small business website cost?
It depends on what the business actually needs.
A focused website is very different from a project involving ordering, booking, multilingual content, integrations, migration, or custom functionality.
We understand the project first, then recommend a practical scope.
How long does a typical website project take?
A focused small-business website can often be completed within a few weeks.
Projects involving multilingual content, integrations, larger migrations, or custom functionality may take longer.
We confirm the expected scope and timeline before work begins.
Do I need a new website, or can you improve what I already have?
You may not need a rebuild.
If the current website still has a useful foundation, improving its structure, performance, content, or customer journey may be the better option.
We prefer fixing the actual problem rather than replacing a working setup automatically.
Can you help with SEO, booking, ordering, or other business tools?
Yes.
We can help with SEO foundations, analytics, booking and inquiry flows, restaurant ordering, forms, and integrations with existing tools.
For businesses serving English- and Chinese-speaking customers, we can also consider how language affects content structure and search behaviour.
Need a clearer website for your Richmond business?
You don't need to know exactly what to build.
Tell us what's getting in the way and what you want customers to be able to do.
English, Mandarin, or Cantonese is fine.
We'll help you find a practical starting point.
