DoodleWeb is a Surrey, BC-headquartered digital agency (founded 2019) that designs, builds, and grows websites and digital platforms on Drupal, WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, BigCommerce, and React for higher education, government, aerospace, healthcare, nonprofit, and growing brands across Canada and the United States.

Where is DoodleWeb based?

DoodleWeb is headquartered at 13655 Fraser Highway, 11th Floor, Surrey, BC V3T 2V6, Canada. We serve clients across Canada and the United States.

What services does DoodleWeb offer?

Custom web design and development, CMS builds and migrations (Drupal, WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, BigCommerce), eCommerce, headless commerce, React/Next.js engineering, React Native mobile apps, rebranding, accessibility (WCAG 2.2 AA, AODA, Section 508), Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), and SLA-backed managed hosting and maintenance.

How much does a DoodleWeb website cost?

Marketing sites start around CAD $16K, CMS rebuilds run CAD $34K–$108K, and enterprise Drupal, headless commerce, and government platforms start at CAD $108K and scale to $340K+. Every project quote is fixed-fee by milestone and returned within 48 hours of the discovery call, with no retainer hidden inside the project fee. Care plans and marketing retainers are separate, publicly priced monthly subscriptions. All figures are starting points, not flat rates — final pricing varies with site size, page count, content volume, integrations, custom functionality, and migration complexity.

How long does a website project take?

Marketing sites launch in 6–10 weeks, mid-market CMS platforms in 10–16 weeks, and enterprise Drupal, government, or commerce rebuilds in 4–6 months. Exact timeline, milestone dates, and acceptance criteria are written into the SOW before kickoff.

Can DoodleWeb get my brand cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude?

Yes. Our AEO/GEO program restructures content into Q&A patterns, ships FAQ / Organization / Article / BreadcrumbList JSON-LD schema, publishes /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt, and runs weekly citation tests across all four major answer engines so engines extract and cite your brand. Initial citations typically appear within 30–60 days.

Frequently asked questions

What platform is best for a Vancouver small business website?

WordPress and Shopify are top choices if you want flexibility and control. For growing startups who want design freedom, Webflow is a strong option. At DoodleWeb, we recommend the platform that matches your business goals and technical know-how—instead of pushing a single provider.

Will I own my website when it's done?

Absolutely. When you work with DoodleWeb Canada, you get full ownership of your website—design, code, and content. You are never locked in, and your business retains complete control, unlike typical website builder subscriptions.

How long does it take to build a custom website locally?

A standard DoodleWeb Canada website takes 4–12 weeks from start to finish for most Vancouver small businesses. This timeline depends on your site’s complexity and how quickly you’re able to review and give feedback. We offer expedited options if you need to launch fast.

Can you migrate my old Wix or Squarespace site to WordPress or Shopify?

Yes, our Surrey-based team manages full migrations. We transfer your old site’s content, set up all redirects, and rebuild your website for performance, mobile, and SEO on WordPress, Shopify, or your chosen platform.

Do you handle site maintenance after launch?

Yes. We manage ongoing support, security updates, backups, and troubleshooting entirely in-house from Surrey. You get direct help from DoodleWeb—never a faceless ticketing system or third-party desk.

How do you support local SEO and AI search results?

Every site is optimized for Vancouver search visibility, with schema markup and technical SEO built in. Our AI website audits boost your presence in ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google’s AI Overview, so new customers find you directly or through AI-powered search.

Can you work with other local Vancouver agencies or designers?

Yes. DoodleWeb provides white-label development and technical services for creative studios and marketing agencies throughout Vancouver. We can work behind the scenes or serve as technical leads—whatever your team needs.

Is DoodleWeb certified or reviewed by a third party?

Yes. DoodleWeb Canada is featured on Clutch and Sortlist and is a certified partner with Drupal, Shopify, Webflow, and WP Engine. You can verify every certification and review on our Badges & Certifications page.
