Design, development, and SEO that work together.

Design builds trust. Development supports how the business actually works. SEO helps the right people, and the assistants they ask, find it. One studio keeps the whole system connected from the first page decision through launch and measurement. Shared responsibility keeps the experience consistent, protects performance, and avoids handoffs between vendors.

Start with what is not working.

You do not need to know the solution before reaching out. Start with the problem you are seeing, and we’ll figure out whether the answer is design, development, SEO, or a smaller intervention that solves the immediate constraint without overbuilding.

Design and rebuild

The site no longer reflects the business.

The offer, proof, or experience has fallen behind the company you run now.Plan the rebuild

Systems and operations

The site cannot support how the business operates.

Search visibility

The right buyers are not finding the business.

Technical gaps, weak search coverage, or local visibility are limiting qualified discovery.Improve search visibility

Questions about working with Jardine.

Serious project questions are practical: what it costs, how long it takes, who does the work, what the team owns, and what happens after launch. These answers let the first conversation focus on the actual constraint and whether the studio is the right fit.

What level of investment is a fit?
Focused website builds start at USD 1,500 (CAD 1,875) before tax. Small fixes, development and SEO work are scoped separately. The pricing page shows comparable website examples; a short brief lets us confirm what fits your budget before a full proposal. See how pricing works.
How long do engagements usually take?
Focused work can take days or a few weeks. Larger websites, integrations, migrations, and search programs run across several weeks. The written scope confirms the sequence and timing before work begins, including the client decisions or content needed to keep the engagement moving.
Can we begin with one discipline?
Yes. Design, development, SEO, or a focused review can begin independently. Jardine Studio can also work alongside an internal team, agency, consultant, or existing developer when the project needs one specialist discipline rather than a complete website engagement.
Who will actually do the work?
Alex owns strategy, communication, and final quality on every engagement. Trusted specialists join only when the scope benefits from their craft. You always know who is responsible for the work, how decisions are being made, and who to contact when something changes.
What happens after launch?
The project closes with handoff, documentation, account access, and the monitoring named in the scope. Jardine Studio can return for support, improvements, new features, or search work on a project basis. There is no mandatory maintenance or SEO retainer after launch.
Who owns the design, code, content, and accounts?
Client-specific final deliverables transfer after full payment unless the signed agreement says otherwise. Your materials and business accounts remain yours. Reusable studio tools, methods, libraries, and third-party software or licenses remain exceptions, with the rights needed to use them documented in the project agreement.
