About K1 Nova

Local focus. Modern web solutions.

K1 Nova is a small web design and local SEO studio based in London, Ontario. We build websites for businesses that need to look credible online and be easy to find, without having to learn the technical side of it.

Why we exist

The gap we kept running into

A lot of good local businesses have a website problem they have been putting off. Either there is no site at all, or there is one that was built years ago and nobody has touched since. The owner knows it needs fixing. They also have a business to run.

The options tend to be a large agency that quotes five figures and takes three months, or a cheap template that looks like every other cheap template. Neither one is what a plumber in London with six good reviews and no website actually needs.

K1 Nova sits in the middle. Professional enough to represent a real business properly, affordable enough for a small one, and simple enough that you never have to learn what a nameserver is.

How we work

Six things you can count on

You talk to the person building it

There is no account manager passing messages along. The person you email is the person doing the work, which is why answers come back quickly and nothing gets lost in translation.

Plain explanations

Domains, hosting, DNS, indexing and SSL all sound more complicated than they are. We will explain what each one does in your project and why it matters, without making you feel like you should already know.

A price before we start

You get a written quote up front. If something changes mid project, we tell you what it costs before we do it, not after.

You approve before it goes live

Nothing launches until you have seen it and told us it is right. The review stage exists so you can change your mind.

Local knowledge

We are based in London and most of our clients are within an hour of here. We know the area you are trying to reach.

We do not oversell

If a smaller job would fix your problem, we will tell you. If we think what you are asking for will not work, we will say that too.

Being small

We are not pretending to be a big agency

K1 Nova is a small operation, and that is deliberate. It means fewer projects at once, faster replies, and no layers between you and the person writing the code. It also means we are honest about capacity. If we cannot hit a deadline you need, we will tell you before you commit rather than after.

Our work

What we have built so far

The best way to judge a web designer is to look at the work.

How it works

Four steps, no surprises

You will always know what is happening and what happens next.

  1. 01

    Tell us about your business

    We start with a conversation. What you do, who your customers are, what you want the website to accomplish and what has not been working. No forms full of jargon.

  2. 02

    We design and build

    We handle the design, the writing structure, the development and the technical setup. You get updates as it comes together, so nothing is a surprise at the end.

  3. 03

    You review it

    You see the finished website before anyone else does. Tell us what to change and we change it. This is the part where we get the wording and the details right.

  4. 04

    We launch

    Once you approve it, we connect the domain, set up the SSL, submit the site to Google and make sure the forms reach your inbox. Then it is live.

Tell us about your business

Whether you know exactly what you want or have no idea where to start, send us a message and we will help you work it out.
