The studio
small businesses
grow on.
Websites, products, and automation built for small businesses that need real digital infrastructure — not another agency retainer.
Most small businesses
are losing customers
they should be winning.
You're invisible online
Your business doesn't show up where customers actually look — Google, Maps, the local directories that drive calls.
Your website is a brochure
It explains who you are. It doesn't get you booked, called, or paid.
You are the system
Every lead, follow-up, and invoice runs through your head. Growth means more of your time — not less.
A Vancouver studio
for the businesses
agencies overlook.
Big agencies want the seven-figure retainer. Freelancers disappear at scale. Novus is the in-between — a local studio for Vancouver and Lower Mainland businesses that need senior digital work without the agency overhead. Local clients meet in person. Everyone else, on a call.
Four things we build
for small businesses.
Engagements range from a one-week landing page to a multi-month product. We'll scope what your business actually needs.
Websites & local presence
Fast, conversion-tuned sites and the SEO that makes them findable. Built so you actually rank where your buyers look.
- Marketing sites
- Landing pages
- Local SEO
Digital products & MVPs
From idea to first paying user. Customer portals, booking systems, internal tools, marketplaces.
- Web apps
- MVPs
- Customer portals
Automation & AI
Replace manual work with reliable agents. Lead intake, follow-ups, reporting, and the integrations between systems you already use.
- Workflows
- AI agents
- Integrations
Growth & analytics
Know what's working. Tracking, dashboards, and the experiments that compound revenue over time.
- GA4
- Dashboards
- Attribution
Four steps,
no surprises.
You shouldn't need a technical background to work with a studio. Every step is legible to a busy owner from day one.
Talk
A focused call — in person if you're in Vancouver, on Zoom anywhere else. We learn your business and tell you honestly whether we can help.
Scope
A fixed-scope proposal with deliverables, timeline, and price — before any work starts.
Build
Tight loops, frequent check-ins, visible progress. No black box that surfaces a month later.
Launch & grow
We ship, you own it. Stay engaged month-to-month for growth, or take it all in-house — your call.
The kind of outcomes
we build for.
Northpoint HVAC
No website, all word-of-mouth. We launched a fast site with online booking and call tracking.
Cedar & Bloom Dental
A new practice that needed patients fast. Conversion-focused site plus local SEO put them on the map.
Harbour Coffee Roasters
Selling only in person. We built an online store and automated wholesale order intake.
Common questions,
honest answers.
Depends on scope. After the 30-minute call you'll get a fixed-scope proposal with a specific number. Most engagements land between $4k and $40k.
Most websites launch in 2–4 weeks. Bigger product builds run 6–12 weeks. SEO and conversion gains show up in analytics within 30–60 days of launch.
Only if you want to. Most projects are fixed-scope with a clear end. After launch you can keep us engaged month-to-month, or take it in-house.
You do. Codebase, hosting, analytics, domain — all transferred to you on launch. We don't hold business-critical assets hostage.
Most owners don't, and that's fine. Half the value of the call is helping you figure out the actual bottleneck — sometimes it's a website, sometimes automation, sometimes something we'll talk you out of building.
