Web Design Toronto

Ankit Designs (founded in 2010) brings a blend of creativity, technical expertise, and deep experience to every project. We’re not a template mill, even though we use templates at times, we typically craft custom solutions. Our sites aren’t just pretty – they’re optimized for user experience (UX), speed, and SEO. We stay on top of the latest design trends and coding standards, ensuring your site looks modern and performs exceptionally. And with our focus on client collaboration, you get transparency, reliability, and a personal touch that big-box agencies can’t match. We’re proud to be known for the best web design Toronto has to offer!

Yes! Our talented team is based right here in Ontario, Canada. When you work with us, you’re working with local designers and developers who understand the Toronto market and values. We believe in face-to-face (better known as video chat haha!) collaboration and do not outsource our projects. Our local focus means better communication, accountability, and quality for you.

Our process covers everything from the first brainstorm to post-launch support. It starts with an initial discovery call (to ensure we’re a good fit and understand your vision) followed by a deep-dive needs analysis. We then create wireframes and design mockups, incorporate feedback, and proceed to development. We handle content integration, animations, and responsive behaviour. After thorough testing and your final approval, we will launch the site. Post-launch, we offer training on how to use your new site and include 1 month of complimentary support to handle any tweaks. Learn more about our detailed process here.

We offer three tiers of web design packages to fit different needs and budgets:

• Starter Template Websites (from $5,000): We customize a premium WordPress template with your content and branding. Ideal for startups or first websites, it’s professional and budget-friendly. Here’s an example.
• Custom Template Websites (from $25,000): A hybrid approach. We start with a robust template but design custom mockups and make significant adjustments. You get a unique site without the full custom price tag. Perfect for businesses upgrading their existing site. Here’s an example.
• Full Custom Websites (from $50,000): The sky’s the limit! Completely bespoke design and development from scratch. This is our white-glove service with maximum customization for a truly one-of-a-kind website. Best for organizations that want to stand out boldly online. Here’s an example.

After understanding your needs in a free discovery call, we’ll provide a detailed quote. Transparency is key – no surprise fees, just a plan that fits your vision and budget.

Absolutely! Our relationship doesn’t end at launch. We offer ongoing WordPress support through our CareKit service. This includes regular backups, security updates, plugin/theme updates, performance optimization, and minor content changes. Whether you need occasional help or a fully managed solution, we have plans to keep your site secure and up-to-date. Think of it as peace of mind for your digital investment. Read more about CareKit in our blog or check out the CareKit service page for details and plans.

It’s easy, schedule a free 15-minute discovery call with us! During this chat, we’ll discuss your project goals, timeline, and any specific features you need. Our experienced Toronto web designers will then prepare an estimate tailored to your project’s scope. Contact us today to book your call. No obligation, just friendly advice to get you started in the right direction.

Definitely. If you have a specific premium WordPress theme you like, we can use it as a starting point and customize it extensively. Our developers will tweak the theme’s design – fonts, colours, layouts, animations, you name it – to match your brand and preferences. The advantage is a faster turnaround and lower cost compared to full custom, but with a bespoke look and feel. We’re careful to maintain the theme’s responsiveness and cross-browser compatibility while making it uniquely yours. It’s a great option for many small to mid-sized projects.

Fun Fact: Many of our “Custom Template” projects follow this approach – blending off-the-shelf and custom design.

Our primary e-commerce solution is WooCommerce for WordPress. It’s powerful, flexible, and integrates perfectly with the content side of your website. We build online stores that are easy for you to manage (add products, track orders, etc.) and delightful for customers to shop. We implement secure payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal, etc.), inventory management, shipping calculators, and more. Whatever your store needs, we can build it. If you prefer another platform, we can accommodate various needs, but WooCommerce is our usual choice for the seamless control it offers alongside your main website.

We’re industry agnostic, meaning we work with all kinds of businesses and organizations. Whether you’re a tech startup, a local restaurant, a law firm, or a nonprofit, we adapt our skills to your needs. Our portfolio spans construction, charity, retail, education, government, and more. The common thread is our passion for quality and client success, regardless of industry. Check out our portfolio to see examples of our work across different sectors.

Yes, we often help clients rescue or revamp their current sites! Whether it’s improving page speed, updating the design, fixing broken features, or refreshing content, we can transform your existing website. Our approach may involve a thorough site audit, identifying quick wins and long-term improvements. Sometimes a clean-up is enough; other times, a redesign is recommended for best results. We’ll give you an honest assessment. Plus, we ensure all updates follow best practices for SEO, accessibility, and modern web standards. If your site is on WordPress, we can also enroll it in CareKit support to keep it performing well.

You’ll have a dedicated project team from Ankit Designs, including a lead designer, developer, and project manager. This team will be your go-to for all communications. Rest assured, our crew is experienced and passionate, it’s the same folks behind our award-winning projects. We don’t outsource. Everyone working on your site is part of our in-house team. Meet our team to learn more about our skills and friendly faces!

We include foundational SEO in every web design project. That means your site will have proper meta titles & descriptions, well-structured content headings, optimized images (with alt tags), and clean code, all of which search engines love. We also ensure fast load times and mobile optimization, which are crucial for SEO rankings. While we don’t offer monthly SEO packages or advanced SEO campaigns, we set you up for success. Many clients engage a specialized SEO/digital marketing agency after launch, our sites provide the perfect solid base for them to build on.

We primarily specialize in WordPress, it’s our go-to CMS for its flexibility and user-friendliness. Our team is adept at custom theme development, plugin customization, and leveraging WordPress to its full potential. Need something beyond WordPress? We’ve also worked with static HTML/CSS builds and custom-coded solutions, but WordPress covers most use cases for our clients in Toronto. In addition, for e-commerce, we rely on WooCommerce (for WordPress) to create robust online stores, complete with custom features and integrations.

Yes, integration is one of our strong suits. Whether it’s a CRM like HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho, or other marketing tools (email newsletter systems, analytics, live chat, etc.), we’ve got you covered. We make sure your website talks to your business tools, so you can capture leads, manage contacts, and analyze traffic seamlessly. Streamlining your workflows is part of building a smart website, and we’ll ensure everything works together smoothly.
