Website Design
Need a website? All of our sites are dynamic and work on every major device. We will help you write the content, gather the photos, and build your site from the code up.
Featured Projects
Want to get started on your website?
Awesome! Many of our website projects are completed with budgets of less than $15,000, and the average is around $25,000. However, we have worked on some (super fancy) sites with budgets as high as $25,000-$50,000. We’re always happy to work within your budget and your time constraints as much as possible.
If you have a values-aligned project and you think we’re the right fit, please get in touch and let’s make a plan!
If your project aligns with our giving back goals and you don’t have the budget for a new website but need one, send us an email, we may be able to support your project with in-kind contributions! Be sure to check out our Social Impact Report to see how we choose to give back.
Our Process
Project Kickoff and Goals
We’ll begin your website project with a kickoff meeting where we will determine goals, timelines, and create a plan so we’re all on the same page. Most of our partners are throughout Turtle Island and we don’t often get to meet face-to-face. We’ve become good at managing website projects using remote tools and ensuring our partners are comfortable working remotely with us. However, if you ever find yourself in lək̓ʷəŋən territory, visit us at the Songhees Innovation Center and we’ll put on some tea.
Content-First Approach
Our content-first approach means we design your site around the content instead of trying to fit your content into a template design. We create a site for your needs with information architecture and content designed to grow with you.
Website Design
Once all of the content is in place, we will start to talk about design and aesthetics. We'll send your team some questions to find out more about your design preferences and provide opportunities for feedback and input from your team. Then, we'll use as much of the input as we can to create a coherent, beautiful, and functional design.
Training
All of Animikii’s websites are built using a content management system (CMS) we developed in-house. This supports our content-first approach to website design. By hosting your site with us, you are supporting Indigenous technology. It's incredibly flexible and user-friendly; anyone who can work with Microsoft Word has the technical skills to work on sites we develop. After we launch your new website, our team will provide training so you can be in full control of your content. But don’t worry, we’ll always be around to answer your questions if you need a refresher.
