At Geeks on the Beach, we specialize in beautiful, custom-crafted website design with a distinct Vancouver Island spirit. Proudly local and fiercely creative, our mission is simple: to empower small businesses, nonprofits, and community champions through smart, accessible, and effective websites that help them shine online.
We’re not just coders — we’re communicators. We listen closely, strategize thoughtfully, and build websites that are as functional as they are visually compelling. Whether you’re just starting out or ready to level up, we’re here to make your online presence feel like home.
Who We Are
We’re Geeks — but the friendly kind. Based on Vancouver Island and deeply connected to the communities we serve, our team is made up of designers, developers, SEO specialists, and content pros who love working with good people doing great things. From Qualicum Beach and Parksville to Nanaimo, Victoria, and beyond, we’ve worked with hundreds of businesses who value clarity, reliability, and results.
Our company started with a simple belief: technology should serve people, not confuse them. That belief guides every project we take on. We’re here to demystify the digital world and build tools that help your business grow.
Our Services
We offer full-service website design and development tailored to your specific goals and audience. Our packages are flexible and scalable, ideal for small businesses, artists, tourism operators, service providers, trades, and nonprofits.
Here’s what we do best:
✦ Website Design & Development
We design from the ground up, building visually engaging websites that work seamlessly across devices. Our sites are fast, mobile-friendly, secure, and easy to update — and we never use cookie-cutter templates.
✦ Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

✦ Website Hosting & Maintenance
We don’t disappear after launch. Our robust hosting and maintenance plans keep your site running smoothly and securely, with regular updates, backups, and proactive support.
✦ Content Strategy & Copywriting
Words matter — especially online. We can help you find your voice and communicate your message with clarity, warmth, and precision.
