A Vancouver website built by hand,
not dragged together.
RZ Web Media builds websites for Greater Vancouver businesses. Every one is hand-coded — no Elementor, no Divi, no page builder — so it loads fast, carries correct structured data from day one, and belongs to you completely. Three renovation contractors in this metro are running on one right now, and you can open all three below.
Weight, and who owns your content
A page built in Elementor or Divi commonly ships more than 900 KB before a single photograph loads. The same page hand-coded stays under 500 KB. On a desktop on fibre nobody notices. On a phone, which is where most of your enquiries come from, that is the difference between a page that opens and a page somebody backs out of.
The second reason costs more over time. A page builder puts your content inside its own format. Stop paying for the plugin, or have it break on a WordPress update, and the pages stop rendering — and you cannot take the site anywhere without rebuilding it. Hand-coded pages are just files. Nothing to renew, nothing to break, and no reason you cannot walk.

Website questions
What does a website cost in Vancouver?
$997 for up to 10 pages, $1,997 for up to 20, $3,997+ for larger builds. One-time, not a subscription. Most Vancouver agencies quote $5,000 to $15,000 for the same scope.
Why not Elementor or Divi?
A builder page commonly ships past 900 KB; hand-coded stays under 500 KB. And a builder owns your content format — if the plugin lapses, the pages stop rendering.
Do I own the website?
Completely. No licence, no subscription, no lock-in. Take the theme to any developer, host it anywhere.
Will it be built for Vancouver search?
Built in, not bolted on. One page per service, the city named where it belongs, structured data that matches what the page shows.
Can you move my existing site?
Yes. Pages, posts and images migrated, every old URL 301 redirected so the search equity carries over. Included.
Do you handle hosting?
We deploy on standard LiteSpeed hosting. You pay the host directly — no markup, and we do not hold the account.
How long does it take?
2–3 weeks Starter, 4–5 Standard, 6–8 Pro. The slowest part is usually photos and copy from your side.
