London, Ontario
Web design for London, Ontario businesses
K1 Nova is a web design studio based in London. We build professional, mobile friendly websites for local businesses and set up the SEO groundwork so nearby customers can find you. Websites start at $299.
Local web design
A website built for the customers you actually want
London is a city of small businesses. Trades, shops, service companies and family operations that have been running for years on reputation and word of mouth. Plenty of them are excellent at what they do and almost invisible online.
That matters more than it used to. When someone new moves into the neighbourhood, or a customer needs a service they have never bought before, the first thing they do is search. If your business has no website, or one that looks like it was built a decade ago, you are not really in that conversation.
We build websites that fix that. Not enormous projects with six month timelines. A properly designed site that says what you do, shows that you are real, works on a phone and makes it easy to call you.
Who we work with

Why it matters
What a professional website does for a local business
It makes you look real
A customer who has never used you before is deciding whether to trust you with their house, their car or their money. A clear, current website answers that question before they call. An outdated one raises it.
It answers questions for you
What you do, what you do not do, where you work, your hours, your prices, how to book. Every one of those answered on the site is a phone call you do not have to take twice.
It gives search something to find
Search engines cannot recommend a business they cannot read. A website with real service pages and a stated service area gives them something to work with.
Mobile design
Most of your customers will see this on a phone
For a local service business, the majority of visits come from a phone, often while the person is standing in front of the problem they need solved. That is the version of your website that has to work hardest.
We design the mobile layout deliberately rather than shrinking the desktop one. Text is readable without zooming, buttons are easy to tap, and your phone number is never more than a thumb away.
- Designed for phones first
- Tap targets sized properly
- Phone number always reachable
- No sideways scrolling
- Fast on mobile data
- Tested on real screen sizes
Local SEO
Being found in London takes more than a website
A good website is the foundation. Local visibility is what happens on top of it: clear service pages, a stated service area, a complete Google Business Profile if your business qualifies, real reviews from real customers, and a site that Google has actually indexed.
We handle the parts that live on your website and walk you through the parts that do not. What we will not do is promise you a ranking position, because that is not something anyone can control.

How it works
Four steps, no surprises
You will always know what is happening and what happens next.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.

Questions from London business owners
If yours is not here, send it over. We answer every one.
Ask a questionDo you only work with businesses in London, Ontario?
London is where we are based and where most of our clients are, but we work throughout Southwestern Ontario. St. Thomas, Strathroy, Woodstock, Ingersoll and the surrounding communities are all within easy reach, and we have built sites for businesses further out as well.
How much does a website cost in London, Ontario?
Our small business builds start at $299 and most land between $299 and $1,299 depending on the number of pages and how much custom design is involved. You get an exact quote before anything starts. Prices for local web design vary a lot, so it is worth comparing what is actually included rather than just the number.
Can we meet in person?
We can usually arrange to meet locally if that is easier for you. Most projects run over email and phone because it is quicker, but if you would rather sit down and go through it, just say so.
Will my website help me show up for London searches?
It gives you a fair chance. We build the site so search engines can understand what you do and where you serve, we set up Search Console and submit your sitemap, and we make sure your service area is stated clearly. Ranking positions depend on relevance, distance and how well known your business is, and nobody can guarantee a spot.
How long does a website take to build?
A small site is usually ready in about a week. A larger one takes longer, mostly because of the review rounds and gathering photos and content. We give you a timeline before we start, and the biggest factor is normally how quickly we can get information back from you.
Can you redesign my current website?
Yes, and a redesign is often the right call. We look at what you already have, tell you what is working and what is holding it back, then rebuild the parts that need it. Sometimes a smaller fix is enough, and we will tell you if that is the case.
