Our Work

Websites that work as hard as you do.

We design and build fast, secure, high-converting websites for businesses across BC, Alberta, and Yukon. Below is real, live client work, from an editorial brand site to a full e-commerce store. Every site is in production and earning for its owner.

Web design is our passion.
Featured work

Three clients, three different kinds of site.

An editorial brand site, a clean animated services site, and a full e-commerce store. Different goals, the same standard of design, speed, and security. Open any one in a new tab and see it live.

What we build

The full range, built to last.

Whatever the job calls for, we pick the right tool and build it properly so it stays fast, secure, and easy to run.

Platform

Right tool for your situation.

WordPress for content-heavy sites, Webflow for design-forward projects, Shopify for e-commerce, or a fully custom build. We recommend based on your requirements, not our preference.

SEO and speed

Built in, not bolted on.

Titles, meta, header structure, schema, and page speed are handled during the build. Search readiness is part of the work, not an afterthought.

Mobile-first

Designed for the device most visitors use.

Layout, typography, and interactions are designed on mobile first. Desktop is the enhancement, not the primary canvas.

Editable

You can update it yourself.

Your CMS is configured so your team can update pages, add posts, and manage products without calling a developer. Training included.

E-commerce

Stores that convert.

From a handful of products to thousands of SKUs, we build search-first storefronts with clean checkout, accounts, and the integrations your operation needs.

Accessibility and care

WCAG, hosting, and ongoing support.

Accessible by default, hosted on infrastructure we secure and monitor, with maintenance plans so your site stays healthy long after launch.

How it works

The order we work in.

A clear sequence so you can budget time, money, and risk against the work.

Step 01

Discovery.

Goals, audience, competitors, content plan, and platform needs reviewed before any design starts.

Step 02

Design.

Wireframes and visual design approved before development begins. No surprises at the build stage.

Step 03

Build.

Developed and tested on staging. Cross-browser, mobile, and accessibility checks before go-live.

Step 04

Launch.

DNS cutover coordinated, redirects set, analytics connected, and a training session for your team.

Why North Star

An IT company that happens to build great websites.

Because we run managed IT and cybersecurity, your site is fast and secure by default, not as an add-on.

Secure by default

Security is our day job.

We are a cybersecurity firm first, so SSL, hardening, backups, and monitoring come standard. Your site is defended, not just decorated.

Integrated

Built in, not bolted on.

Hosting, email, security, and your site live under one roof, so there is one team to call when something needs attention.

Self-serve

You can update it yourself.

You own and control your content. We hand over a site your team can run, with the training to keep it moving.

Local

A local BC team.

Based in Prince George and serving BC, Alberta, and Yukon. Real people who know the region you are selling to.
