Web design for
Ottawa businesses.
Strategic web design for the nation's capital.
When a potential client in the Glebe, Westboro, or Kanata searches for your service — or asks an AI tool for a trusted provider — your website needs the structural authority to be the answer.
The Ottawa problem.
Ottawa's business landscape is unique — a mix of government-adjacent professional services, thriving tech companies in Kanata, established healthcare practices, and a growing creative economy. What they share is a need for digital presence that communicates authority, trustworthiness, and competence. In Ottawa, credibility isn't optional.
Still Lake Studio builds websites for Ottawa businesses that don't just look the part — they earn their keep. Every site is architecturally engineered with Schema.org structured data, semantic HTML, E-E-A-T authority signals, and AI discoverability — so your business shows up when it matters most, in both Google results and AI-generated answers.
Why businesses in Ottawa choose Still Lake Studio.
