See Application FoundationPretty sites that do not generate calls or forms are decoration, not design. You Go Media’s web design is a UX and conversion service for Canadian and US businesses that need clarity, trust and inquiry paths, followed by a clear plan for building it in WordPress or custom PHP is a server-side programming language that runs many websites and web applications. We pair it with JavaScript, AJAX, jQuery and MySQL through PDO, and also work in Python, C++ and C# when a project needs them. Our focus is web-based applications. through Application Foundation.
Web design is often the first step into Application Foundation, our website and application service.
Dated mobile layouts and buried calls to action
Owner-operators inherit dated mobile layouts, buried CTAs and brand mismatch while competitors look more credible, or they buy award-chasing redesigns that never fix lead paths. The other common mistake is piling SEO, Ads and application engineering onto a design engagement until nobody owns the inquiry problem.
If the job is conversion-minded design (discovery, information architecture, visual system, mobile UX and inquiry paths), You Go Media scopes it with you.
What web design includes (and what we handle separately)
- Includes: discovery, information architecture, UX, visual system, content structure, mobile-first lead paths
- WordPress build: when WordPress is the right fit, we build the site and theme through WordPress development
- Custom application: when a standard CMS is the wrong tool, applications and portals are built through custom PHP development
- Stack rescue and modernization: if you are a CTO who needs plugins, cloud apps or an ageing stack sorted out, see Application Foundation
One engagement from design through build and launch
You Go Media designs your site and then builds it, so you never manage a design studio and a separate developer. The same accountable team takes the work from design to a WordPress or custom build, through launch and into care if you choose it.
Calls, forms and bookings are set as design goals in the first conversation, and each later decision is checked against them: page order, what a phone shows first and how many steps an inquiry takes. Your sign-off points are named in the written scope.
What each stage of the project settles
Each stage settles one set of decisions before the next begins:
- Discovery: what you sell, who buys it, which inquiries you want more of and what the current site gets wrong
- Information architecture and content structure: which pages exist, what each must say and the shortest route to a call or form
- Visual system: type, colour, spacing and reusable components that fit your brand
- Mobile inquiry paths: tap-to-call, short forms and booking steps designed for phones first
- Build: the approved design built in WordPress or custom PHP is a server-side programming language that runs many websites and web applications. We pair it with JavaScript, AJAX, jQuery and MySQL through PDO, and also work in Python, C++ and C# when a project needs them. Our focus is web-based applications. on a staging site you can review
- QA: forms, calls to action, links and layouts checked on phones and desktops before launch
- Launch: the site moved live, with redirects planned for any old addresses that change
Anything handled separately is listed in your scope before work starts, along with the schedule for each stage.
Maintainable builds and founder accountability
- Built to last: we design the experience, then recommend WordPress or custom PHP is a server-side programming language that runs many websites and web applications. We pair it with JavaScript, AJAX, jQuery and MySQL through PDO, and also work in Python, C++ and C# when a project needs them. Our focus is web-based applications. based on what will be easiest to maintain
- Founder accountability: founder-led craft from Winnipeg, for clients across Canada and the US
- No copy-paste city pages: no neighbourhood doorway pages or cloned city design pages
WordPress or custom PHP: the build path after design
Most marketing sites we design are built with WordPress development, with ongoing WordPress care after launch. When roles and workflows outgrow the CMS, we build with custom PHP development, including full-stack delivery across Canada. CTOs can see all the stack options on Application Foundation.
Ownership and handover at launch
You should be able to leave any vendor, including us, without rebuilding your site. Who holds the domain, hosting account, design files and code is settled during scoping and written into the scope, with accounts kept in your name where possible and access granted to us.
Sites are built on maintainable templates, so another developer can pick them up later.
Care, support tickets and changes after launch
A new design needs looking after once it is live. WordPress care keeps a WordPress site updated and secure on a monthly plan, and design or content changes are requested as tickets. Prices are in CAD, plus applicable taxes:
- Basic, $49.95/month CAD: updates and security, plus form spam and bot management
- Plus, $99/month CAD: everything in Basic, with backups, uptime monitoring, malware scans and 1 ticket hour per month, with no carry-over
- Support tickets, $150/hour CAD: copy updates, title changes and other site changes, billed in 15-minute increments
- Prepaid blocks, $125/hour CAD: a 5-hour minimum per purchase, for a planned run of changes
Custom PHP is a server-side programming language that runs many websites and web applications. We pair it with JavaScript, AJAX, jQuery and MySQL through PDO, and also work in Python, C++ and C# when a project needs them. Our focus is web-based applications. builds are supported through the same tickets and prepaid blocks.
Your first step and what it costs
Your first step is an initial consultation, a non-refundable retainer to build your plan: $399 CAD plus applicable taxes, credited toward your program if Pay on Results is approved.
Bring your current site address, the inquiries you want more of and a few sites you like, with a note on why. After the consultation, we confirm the next step and its price in writing.

Web design questions
Is web design the same as Application Foundation?
No. Web design covers UX and conversion. Application Foundation is our wider service for CTOs who need to rescue or modernize their stack.
Do you only design WordPress sites?
No. We design the experience, then build it on WordPress or custom PHP is a server-side programming language that runs many websites and web applications. We pair it with JavaScript, AJAX, jQuery and MySQL through PDO, and also work in Python, C++ and C# when a project needs them. Our focus is web-based applications., whichever is easier to maintain.
Is this a DIY web design tutorial?
No. This is a consult-led service, not theme or builder how-to content.
Do you publish a design page for every city or neighbourhood?
No. We do not publish copy-paste neighbourhood pages. Your strategy may justify a few focused landing pages, but never empty neighbourhood shells.
Do you design sites for clients in other cities?
Yes. Winnipeg is home, and we also design sites for clients elsewhere in Canada and in the US when the project fits.
