Web designer & developer in Surrey, BC.
I build durable websites and custom software for Surrey small and medium businesses — from the trades and retail operations around Newton and Fleetwood, to the dental, legal, and professional services in Guildford and South Surrey. Fixed-price, launched in two weeks, built to run fast for years.
Surrey is its own city, not a suburb of Vancouver.
More than 600,000 residents, the second-largest municipality in BC, a customer base that is meaningfully bilingual (Punjabi is the second-most-spoken language in a lot of Surrey neighbourhoods), and an economy that runs on trades, construction, retail, dental, legal, and small manufacturing. It is not Vancouver with cheaper rent — it is a different city with different customers, and your website should reflect that.
Most Surrey SMBs I talk to have one of three sites: a $99 Wix or Squarespace template that looks like every other Wix or Squarespace template; an expensive agency build from 2019 that looked great at launch and has not been touched since; or a hand-coded site from a local developer who has moved on and stopped replying. All three fail in the same way — they do not reliably produce leads, they do not rank, and they are painful to update.
A Five-Year Website replaces all three failure modes with one clean build. A Surrey contractor, a Fleetwood dentist, a Guildford law firm, a Cloverdale retailer all get the same thing: a fast, mobile-first site that actually ranks locally, with a CMS your team can update, on infrastructure that will still be running in 2030.
What works
- LocalBusiness schema pointing at your Surrey address, not a generic Metro Vancouver footprint.
- Google Business Profile optimization keyed to your actual Surrey neighbourhood.
- Geographic keyword mapping: "roofer Surrey," "family dentist Guildford," "commercial law Cloverdale" — specific, not generic.
- Internal linking that reinforces your service + neighbourhood combinations.
- Reviews funnelled through a clean workflow on your site, consolidating social proof.
What doesn’t
- Listing 30 nearby cities on a single page hoping to catch every query — Google penalizes doorway pages.
- Stuffing "Surrey" into every heading at the expense of readability.
- Link-building via directories nobody uses except SEO agencies.
- Paying a monthly retainer for a "report" that never changes your rankings.
- Blocking indexation of the pages that should be ranking (more common than you would expect on inherited sites).
Surrey sits at the mouth of the Fraser Valley.
A lot of Surrey businesses have clients, suppliers, or a second location further east — in Langley, Abbotsford, or Chilliwack — or customers that cross the border at White Rock or use the border-adjacent trade corridor. The Fraser Valley hub page covers the broader regional picture and links down into the other FV city pages as they come online.
See the Fraser Valley regional hub for more on how I work across the valley.
Do you have clients in Surrey currently?
Yes — a mix of trades, professional services, and small retail operations across Guildford, Newton, Fleetwood, Cloverdale, and South Surrey. Most are under NDA; private walkthroughs and references are available on a discovery call.
Can you handle bilingual English + Punjabi sites for Surrey businesses?
Yes. A meaningful portion of Surrey's customer base is Punjabi-first or bilingual. The technical implementation for a bilingual site is standard — the actual translation is usually on the client or a translator, not me. I scope the structure, URL strategy, and schema markup to handle a second language correctly from day one so you don't redo SEO work later.
Will you work with a Surrey contractor, tradesperson, or small retailer?
Happily. A significant slice of Surrey is trades, construction, and owner-operated retail — exactly the businesses that get the biggest lift from a proper Five-Year Website and sometimes a customer or dispatch portal. If your existing site is a template that has never produced a lead, or you are still running intake on paper or text messages, a 20-minute call is usually enough to scope a fix.
