Nostedt Sites / canada-wide, remote
service

Winnipeg based,
Canada wide.

We are in Winnipeg. Most of our clients are not in the same room as us and it has never been the constraint people expect.

the honest pitch

Being local matters less than being reachable

Web design has spent twenty years selling proximity, and for a long time that made sense. It made sense when building a site meant meetings, printed proofs, and someone driving over with a laptop. It does not describe the work anymore.

What actually matters is whether the person who built your site answers when you need something changed. A studio ten minutes away that takes four days to reply is worse than one four provinces away that replies in an hour. We would rather be judged on that than on a postal code.

So: if you are in Winnipeg, come have coffee, we genuinely like that part. If you are not, nothing about the work changes.

how it runs

What a remote build looks like

A fifteen minute call at the start, which is where the copy comes from. Then a private URL with a real draft on it, usually within a few days. Then text messages, because that is how people actually communicate about small changes.

Time zones inside Canada are not a real obstacle. We work Winnipeg hours, which overlaps everyone from Victoria to Halifax for most of a working day.

The one thing we cannot do remotely is take your photos. If you have good ones, great. If you do not, we will tell you honestly whether it is worth hiring someone local for an afternoon, because for some businesses it is the highest return money in the whole project.

where we work

Manitoba first, everywhere after

Our roots and most of our clients are in Manitoba: Winnipeg, Brandon, Steinbach, Winkler, Selkirk, Portage la Prairie, and the towns between them. We also work into northwestern Ontario, and with businesses across the rest of Canada.

We are a small studio and we take on what we can do properly. If we are not the right fit for your project, or if you would genuinely be better served by someone in your own city who knows your market, we will say so on the first call. That is cheaper for everyone than finding out in week three.

questions

Asked often

Do you meet clients in person?

In Winnipeg, yes, whenever you want. Outside Winnipeg, everything runs over a call and messages, which is faster for both of us anyway.

Do you understand my local market if you are not in it?

We ask a lot of questions, and you know your market better than any agency would after a week of research. The copy comes out of that conversation, in your words.

Are you more expensive outside Manitoba?

No. Same work, same number, wherever you are.

Can you work with US businesses?

Yes, and several of our clients ship into the US. Currency works in your favour on a Canadian studio.
