CASCADIA Atelier

A business systems and digital studio for small businesses

Your business,
working better.

We improve processes, strengthen brands, and build digital tools for small businesses.

Build a website designed to help the right customers take the next step, or connect the tools behind your business so information moves where it should. The result should save time, make better use of your data, and feel easy to use and unmistakably yours.

How we work ↗

How we help

Four ways to begin,
matched to the work.

Start with a problem you can already name, a new website, a plan for a larger change, or a connected system ready to be built.

Website Health & Enquiry Fix

Repair the website you have.

Find where customers get stuck, make the right repairs, and test the enquiry journey from start to finish.

Better Front Door Website

Build a website around your business.

A new website with clear service pages, useful information and a straightforward way to enquire.

Working Map

Turn a larger need into a clear plan.

Bring the moving pieces into one client-owned map before deciding what to build, keep or change.

Connected Operations Build

Connect the tools your team uses.

Build the agreed connections between enquiries, records, schedules and the people using them.

Website Health & Enquiry Fix

Check how customers find you, and what happens next.

We check the path from search and service pages through enquiries, follow-up and reviews, then identify where customers or information get lost.

  • Search and service pages

    Check how your business appears in search, whether visitors reach the right service page, and whether each page gives them a clear next step.

  • Mobile use and clarity

    Check that the page is readable, usable and clear about what you offer, with buttons, forms and key details working properly on a phone.

  • Enquiry follow-up, reviews and ownership

    Check whether enquiries have a clear owner and receive follow-up, whether completed jobs prompt review requests, and whether new reviews receive a timely response.

How we work
together.

We begin with what’s happening in your business. The next step follows from that, whether it’s a focused fix or a fuller plan.

When would a Working Map help?

For a connected build, the Working Map brings your processes, tools and priorities into a shared plan. It’s yours to keep and use, including with another builder.

$499 CAD. Implementation is quoted separately. If you sign a build agreement within 90 days of receiving the Map, $250 is credited towards build fees, once per business.
