FAQs
What does NONBASIC do?
NONBASIC is a creative digital house specializing in website design, content, and digital branding for brands, entrepreneurs and real estate developers. We create visually distinctive websites built to look good, communicate clearly and turn attention into business.
1
Who do you design websites for?
2
We work primarily with brands, entrepreneurs and real estate developers who want a digital presence that feels elevated, distinctive and authentically theirs.
Where are your clients located?
3
We work with clients across Canada and the United States. Our work is location-independent, so you don’t need to be in the same city to work with us.
What kind of websites do you design?
4
We design modern, visually driven websites with strong typography, imagery and editorial-style layouts. Every project is shaped around the business behind it rather than forcing the brand into a predetermined template.
Do you design websites for real estate developers?
5
Yes. We create websites and digital content for residential and real estate developments, combining project positioning, photography, design, and clear information architecture into one cohesive digital presence built to help sell the project.
Do you build websites for entrepreneurs and personal brands?
6
Yes. We work with founders, entrepreneurs and personal brands whose website needs to reflect the quality of the work behind their name. That can include strategy, website design, copy, photography and ongoing digital content.
Do you work with established brands?
7
Yes. Sometimes the brand already exists and simply needs a better digital home. We can take an existing identity and translate it into a website through design, photography, content and creative direction without unnecessarily reinventing the brand.
Can you create the content and photography too?
8
Yes. NONBASIC brings website design, content, photography and creative direction together under one roof. It means the words, images and design are developed as one experience instead of being assembled from five different places.
Do you use AI in your creative process?
9
Yes. We use AI as a creative assistant where it makes sense — from speeding up parts of the process to building custom visual scenes from a single photo or headshot. It allows us to create more variety, stronger concepts, and polished visual content without losing the human direction behind it.
Are your websites built from scratch?
10
Almost never — and that’s deliberate. There’s no reason to reinvent the wheel when a strong framework already exists. We use proven foundations as a starting point, then customize the design, content, imagery, and functionality around each project. It keeps the process efficient, the timeline realistic, and the cost sensible — without making your website feel like a template.
What website platforms do you work with?
11
We work with Squarespace, WordPress, Shopify, Framer, and Webflow, choosing the platform based on what your business actually needs, how the site needs to function, and how easily you’ll be able to manage it after launch.
How much does a website cost?
12
We offer set pricing for personal brand and real estate development websites, with custom add-ons available depending on what you need. You can find the details on our Pricing page. Brand websites are custom quoted based on the scope, functionality, content, and creative requirements of the project.
How long does a website take?
13
For websites with set pricing, we also work with set timelines. Those timelines depend on receiving the required content, information, approvals, and feedback from the client on schedule. Delays in those materials can push the launch date accordingly.
Where is my website hosted?
14
Hosting depends on the platform. Squarespace websites can be transferred to the client after launch, so you have direct ownership and access to the site. A valid credit card is required for the platform subscription to keep the website active.
For WordPress, Shopify, Framer, and Webflow, hosting and account setup are handled according to the platform and project requirements, with ownership and access clearly established before launch.
How do I hire NONBASIC?
15
Start by telling us who you are, what you're building and what you need. We'll review the project, recommend the right scope and send you a quote. We work with clients across Canada and the United States.
