Build a Digital Presence
That Works as Hard as You Do
Websites, apps, automation, CRM, e-commerce, SEO, and physical security systems — Solaris delivers the complete digital foundation every Canadian business needs to compete and grow.
Your Digital Infrastructure Is Your Business Infrastructure
In Canada’s competitive market, your digital presence is not a marketing add-on — it is the operational backbone of your business. Before your first customer walks through the door, they have already evaluated your website, searched for your reviews, and decided whether you look like a serious operation.
For immigrant entrepreneurs and foreign investors entering Canada, this matters even more. A professional, fast, and well-structured digital presence signals legitimacy to customers, partners, landlords, lenders, and immigration authorities alike. It is the difference between being taken seriously and being overlooked.
Solaris’s Digital Development pillar delivers every layer of your digital infrastructure — from the website that represents your brand to the backend systems that run your operations — built specifically for Canadian market conditions, PIPEDA privacy compliance, and the needs of a business that is growing fast.
Every Digital Service We Offer — Explained in Full
Each service is available standalone or bundled. All builds include full handover, documentation, and a 30-day post-launch support window.
1. Website Design & Development
Your website is your most important business asset. It works 24/7, reaching customers, partners, lenders, and immigration authorities anywhere in the world. For new businesses entering Canada, a professionally built website immediately communicates that you are a serious, established operation.
Solaris designs and builds websites that are visually professional, technically fast, mobile-first, and optimized for Canadian search engines from day one. We work on WordPress, Webflow, and custom frameworks. Every site includes schema markup, Google Analytics, on-page SEO, PIPEDA-compliant cookie consent, and a full CMS so you can update it yourself without developer support.
We do not use generic templates. Every Solaris website is custom-designed around your brand identity, target audience, and conversion goals — whether booking consultations, selling products, capturing leads, or attracting investors.
2. Mobile & Web App Development
When your business model requires more than a website — when you need customers to book, order, track, or interact through a dedicated application — Solaris builds the product. We develop mobile apps for iOS and Android and web applications that run in any browser, engineered for Canadian users with Canadian data residency requirements in mind.
Our process starts with a product discovery phase where we define user flows, core features, and technical architecture before writing code. We work in agile two-week sprints, delivering working software incrementally so you can test and adjust in real time. We specialize in apps for service booking, delivery, retail, healthcare, and professional services.
| Phase | Deliverable | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Discovery | User flows, wireframes, tech spec | Week 1–2 |
| Design | UI/UX prototype (Figma) | Week 3–4 |
| Dev Sprint 1 | Core functionality, auth, database | Week 5–8 |
| Dev Sprint 2 | Features, integrations, admin panel | Week 9–12 |
| QA & Testing | Bug fixes, performance testing | Week 13–14 |
| Launch | App store submission / deployment | Week 15–16 |
3. Business Process Automation
Every hour your team spends on manual, repetitive tasks is an hour not spent on growth. Automation is the most effective way for a small or medium business in Canada to scale without proportionally scaling headcount. Solaris maps your current workflows, identifies the highest-value automation opportunities, and builds systems using no-code and low-code platforms that integrate with the tools you already use.
Common automations we build include: lead capture and follow-up sequences, invoice generation and payment tracking, appointment scheduling and reminders, inventory alerts, employee onboarding workflows, and customer support ticket routing. Every automation is documented and trained into your team so it keeps working long after handover.
4. CRM Setup & Integration
A Customer Relationship Management system is the memory of your business. Without it, every customer interaction exists only in someone’s inbox or head — and when a team member leaves, that relationship history disappears. With a properly configured CRM, every contact, conversation, proposal, and transaction is tracked, searchable, and actionable.
Solaris selects, configures, and deploys the right CRM for your business — not the most popular one, but the one that fits your team size, industry, budget, and workflow. We configure your pipeline stages, automate your follow-up sequences, set up reporting dashboards, integrate with your email, calendar, and accounting tools, and train your team to use it consistently from day one.
| Business Type | Recommended CRM | Starting Price | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small Service Business | HubSpot Free / Starter | $0–$25/mo | Lead tracking, email sequences |
| Retail / E-Commerce | Klaviyo + Shopify CRM | $45/mo+ | Segmentation, revenue attribution |
| Professional Services | HubSpot Pro / Zoho | $45–$90/mo | Proposals, pipelines, billing |
| Health & Wellness | Jane App / Cliniko | $54/mo+ | Appointments, records, billing |
| Enterprise / Multi-team | Salesforce / Monday CRM | $165/mo+ | Complex pipelines, team management |
5. E-Commerce Setup
Canadian e-commerce reached over $63 billion in 2024. Whether you are launching an online store as your primary channel or adding e-commerce to an existing physical retail operation, Solaris builds the infrastructure you need to sell effectively — with Canadian payment methods, tax compliance, shipping integrations, and French-language readiness where applicable.
We build on the platforms best suited to your product catalog, volume, and growth trajectory. For most small and medium retailers, Shopify offers the best combination of functionality and manageability. For businesses requiring deep customization or integration with existing systems, WooCommerce on WordPress provides the flexibility needed. We handle everything from product upload and photography optimization to checkout flow design, abandoned cart recovery, and Canada Post / Purolator shipping integrations.
6. SEO & Online Visibility
Search Engine Optimization is the long-term engine of organic customer acquisition. While paid advertising delivers immediate traffic at a cost, SEO builds compounding visibility that grows in value over time — without ongoing ad spend. For a new business entering the Canadian market, being found organically for the right search terms in your city and industry is one of the highest-return investments you can make in your first year.
Solaris delivers technical SEO, on-page optimization, local SEO for Canadian cities, and content strategy — all aligned with Google’s current algorithm priorities. We set up your Google Business Profile, optimize for local pack rankings in Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary, or wherever you operate, and build the content architecture that establishes your topical authority over time.
| Month | Focus Area | Expected Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Month 1 | Technical audit, keyword research, on-page fixes | Site fully indexed, Core Web Vitals resolved |
| Month 2 | Google Business Profile, local citations | Local pack visibility begins |
| Month 3 | Content creation (4–6 landing pages) | First keyword rankings appear |
| Month 4–6 | Link building, content expansion | Organic traffic grows 30–60% |
| Month 6–12 | Authority building, conversion optimization | Top-3 rankings for primary search terms |
7. CCTV & Access Control Setup
For retail businesses, restaurants, supermarkets, pharmacies, and any physical commercial space, a professional security system is both a practical necessity and an operational intelligence tool. Modern CCTV systems provide more than theft prevention — they provide customer flow patterns, peak hour analysis, and staff performance visibility that help owners make better operational decisions.
Solaris designs and coordinates the installation of commercial-grade CCTV and access control systems for Canadian businesses. We work with vetted, licensed security installers across British Columbia, Ontario, and Alberta to deliver end-to-end systems: from camera placement planning and NVR server configuration to remote access setup so you can monitor your business from anywhere in the world. All systems are configured for Canadian privacy law compliance.
| Business Type | Cameras | Storage / NVR | Access Control |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small Retail / Café (≤1,500 sq ft) | 4–6 cameras | 2TB NVR, 30-day retention | Keypad / fob entry |
| Restaurant / Food Service | 6–10 cameras | 4TB NVR, 60-day retention | Staff PIN access |
| Supermarket / Large Retail | 12–24 cameras | 8–16TB NVR, 90-day retention | Card reader + alarm |
| Office / Professional Space | 4–8 cameras | 2–4TB NVR, 30-day retention | Smart card / mobile |
| Warehouse / Industrial | 8–20+ cameras | 16TB+ NVR, 90-day retention | Multi-zone access control |
⚠️ Note: CCTV installation requires licensed security contractors under provincial regulations. Solaris coordinates with regulated, licensed installation partners across BC, Ontario, and Alberta. Pricing includes system design, project management, and partner coordination.
