Use Cases of Clio Websites

Local Business Digital Transformation

A Calgary-based brick-and-mortar shop with an outdated, non-mobile-friendly website partners with Clio for a complete overhaul. They receive a modern, responsive WordPress site with local SEO optimization, clear calls-to-action, and an easy-to-update content management system. The result is a significant increase in local search visibility, in-store foot traffic from online leads, and a professional brand image that converts casual browsers into customers.

Launching a Scalable eCommerce Store

An entrepreneur ready to sell products online needs a secure, high-converting digital storefront. Clio Websites builds a custom WooCommerce (WordPress) solution with a streamlined checkout process, integrated payment gateways, and product management tools. The site is optimized for speed and SEO, driving targeted traffic through strategic digital ads, ultimately transforming the venture into a profitable, scalable online sales channel.

Rebranding and Establishing Market Authority

A professional services firm with a generic online presence seeks to elevate its brand and attract higher-value clients. Clio provides comprehensive branding and design services, creating a distinctive visual identity and a content-rich WordPress website that showcases expertise. Combined with ongoing SEO and content strategy, this establishes the firm as a thought leader, generating qualified leads and strengthening its competitive position.

Ongoing Website Management for Non-Technical Teams

A growing mid-sized business lacks a dedicated IT department and struggles with website updates, security concerns, and slow performance. They subscribe to Clio's Website Maintenance service. Clio's team takes full responsibility for updates, security monitoring, backups, and technical support, ensuring the website remains a reliable, fast, and secure asset 24/7, freeing the internal team to focus on core operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to hire a web designer to build a website?

Pricing is not one-size-fits-all and depends entirely on the project's scope, complexity, and specific features required (e.g., eCommerce, custom functionality, number of pages). Clio Websites emphasizes flexible and affordable pricing options tailored for small and mid-sized businesses. They focus on delivering exceptional value and scalable solutions, so the investment aligns with your business goals and expected ROI. The best way to get an accurate quote is to discuss your specific vision and requirements with their team.

Do you use templates to develop websites?

Clio Websites prioritizes custom, unique design over generic template-based solutions. While they may use robust, custom-coded themes as a foundation for efficiency and security, every website is heavily customized to reflect your specific brand identity, goals, and user experience needs. The result is a bespoke website that stands out from competitors and is tailored for your target audience, not a cookie-cutter template look.

Do you offer digital marketing services?

Absolutely. Digital marketing is a core part of their full-service offering. Beyond SEO, which is integrated into website development, Clio provides top digital advertising services. They use advanced, precision-targeting techniques across platforms like Google Ads and social media to connect your brand with ready-to-buy customers, turning your ad spend into a consistent stream of qualified leads and sales opportunities.

Do you develop and maintain WordPress websites?

Yes, WordPress development and maintenance are central specialties. They have helped over 300 clients with custom WordPress setups, from blogs to full-scale eCommerce sites. Furthermore, they offer dedicated Website Maintenance plans to ensure your WordPress site remains updated, secure, backed up, and performing at its best long after the initial launch, providing true peace of mind.
