SEO. Social Media. CMS. Templates. Blogging. Responsive Design. eCommerce. The list of buzzwords goes on and on. Developing a website - whether that means creating a new web presence or redesigning an existing site - can be a daunting proposition, but one that is essential for any business. We understand this, and we like to try and make things as straightforward as possible for you.
Too often people assume that a website is going to be prohibitively expensive and hesitate about moving forward. Primarily servicing the areas around Toronto, ranging from Niagara Falls to Stratford to Peterborough and back, Global Village Design works with you to maximize your budget. A custom design that is created for your business and tastes is more affordable than you may think.
We focus on helping small- to medium-sized clients. We believe that a personal touch is important to the success of your project, and as such we enjoy building a relationship that will go beyond the inital development of your website. We begin with an analysis of your goals and needs, your likes and dislikes, and your timelines and budget, and then together plan out the solution that is right for you.

Some people have wondered about this catch-phrase or slogan. Design. Social Conscience. Not what you usually put together, and seemingly unrelated to a website design company. We disagree. Our philosophy is Reach Globally, Design Locally, paraphrasing a well-known saying intended to reflect the idea that our local community is part of the global community.
One way we like to Reach Globally is by donating a portion of our earnings to Kiva, a non-profit organization with a mission to connect people through micro-lending to alleviate poverty. Leveraging the internet and a worldwide network of microfinance institutions, Kiva lets individuals lend as little as $25 to help create opportunity around the world.
After all - we're all in this together...
This not-for-profit provides a scholarship to a student from the Olcott Memorial School in Chennai, India. They needed a web presence to both communicate their mission to the public as well as create an easier way for people to contribute suggestions for scholarship recipients or to assist financially. The design is meant engage the user and features a simple, easy-to-navigate layout.
Following the "we're all in this together" philosophy, Global Village Design offers hosting that is 100% renewable-energy powered. By taking advantage of hosting where the power is sourced from Bullfrog Power, which then leads to the purchase of offsets from ClimateCare, we are proud to say that each of our clients is acting as a good corporate citizen. If you are interested in utilizing a company that works to minimize our collective carbon footprint then we look forward to chatting.
Our most recent loan recipient is Sarah, who is 20 years old and lives in the Kiyinda region of Uganda. She is married and has 2 children who are currently in school. For the past 4 years, Sarah has been working hard to manage her retail store, which sells sugar, soap, maize flour, cooking oil, and rice.
