SEO. Social Media. CMS. Templates. Blogging. Responsive Design. eCommerce. The list of buzzwords goes on and on. Developing a website - whether that means creating a new web presence or redesigning an existing site - can be a daunting proposition, but one that is essential for any business. We understand this, and we like to try and make things as straightforward as possible for you.
Too often people assume that a website is going to be prohibitively expensive and hesitate about moving forward. Primarily servicing the areas around Toronto, ranging from Niagara Falls to Stratford to Peterborough and back, Global Village Design works with you to maximize your budget. A custom design that is created for your business and tastes is more affordable than you may think.
We focus on helping small- to medium-sized clients. We believe that a personal touch is important to the success of your project, and as such we enjoy building a relationship that will go beyond the inital development of your website. We begin with an analysis of your goals and needs, your likes and dislikes, and your timelines and budget, and then together plan out the solution that is right for you.
Call us anytime at 905.244.6208 to chat about your needs.
Some people have wondered about this catch-phrase or slogan. Design. Social Conscience. Not what you usually put together, and seemingly unrelated to a website design company. We disagree. Our philosophy is Reach Globally, Design Locally, paraphrasing a well-known saying intended to reflect the idea that our local community is part of the global community.
One way we like to Reach Globally is by donating a portion of our earnings to Kiva, a non-profit organization with a mission to connect people through micro-lending to alleviate poverty. Leveraging the internet and a worldwide network of microfinance institutions, Kiva lets individuals lend as little as $25 to help create opportunity around the world.
After all - we're all in this together...
Word & Deed Publishing is dedicated to providing resources for educators seeking to address challenges and inequities so that every learner can reach their full potential.
They needed a website that makes it easy for users to understand the mission, while being able to easily navigate their growing roster of books and authors. A custom administrative back end / Content Management System was built to accommodate them also.
Following the "we're all in this together" philosophy, Global Village Design offers hosting that is 100% renewable-energy powered. By taking advantage of hosting where the power is sourced from Bullfrog Power, which then leads to the purchase of offsets from ClimateCare, we are proud to say that each of our clients is acting as a good corporate citizen. If you are interested in utilizing a company that works to minimize our collective carbon footprint then we look forward to chatting.
Our most recent loan recipient is Mable, a 69-year-old married Ugandan with 10 children. She is a farmer of beans, coffee, bananas, and she also does goat rearing with the help of her husband.
One significant challenge she faces is low yields due to lack of proper mulches, and her plantation is always affected by soil erosion; Mable is requesting a loan to purchase mulches for her coffee plantation so as to reduce erosion and increase their yield.
At Global Village Design we work with you to create a site you feel happy representing your business.
Here is a small cross-section of some sites we have built for our clients.
