What do StoryBrand, Yoda and Luke Skywalker have in common?

Luke = your customer
Yoda = your brand

The key is guiding them to each other.

(And defeating an evil empire, obvi.)

Nominate a Local Business in the Comox Valley for a Free Website!

Our community is full of amazing entrepreneurs, creators, and businesses that make the Valley shine. We want to say thank you by giving away a FREE full website design or re-design package to one local business. We will be doing this once a year as our way of giving back to our community.

💙 Here’s how to nominate your favourite business:

3️⃣ Stay tuned! Nominations close on September 30th
We'll be drawing the name and announcing the winning business on our socials in early October.

✨The fine print:

1️⃣ All nominations must be located in Comox Valley or be owned by someone who calls the Comox Valley Home (psst…its totally okay to nominate yourself)
2️⃣ No need for a new site? No problem. If a business wins and they want a fresh new look … fantastic! If not, that’s okay too. They can choose to pass on the win to a business of their choosing or ask us to re-draw
3️⃣ Only one submission per account

When we start any web project, it’s never just about picking a template, it’s about asking the right questions:

→ What does your audience need to see first?
→ What story is your brand trying to tell?
→ How can we design this site to do something—not just look good?

Because behind every great website is strategy, intention, and a few dozen open tabs ✨

Ready to build a site that works as hard as you do? Let’s talk 💻

Happy Long Weekend! 🎉

How are you planning to spend your weekend? While I’ll be spending quality time with family, I’ll also be brainstorming up some future content ideas 🌟

Here’s a mistake we see all the time: business owners tucking their best content away on internal pages.

If you’ve got something important, like a rave review or a unique selling point, don’t make people dig for it!

Put your best content where it matters most:
✔️ Above the fold (think before they have to scroll)
✔️ On your homepage (likely the first page they’ll land on when they visit your website)
✔️ Near your CTAs
✔️ Repeated in key spots throughout the site (this is great for testimonials!)

Your audience is busy. Lead with impact, and make the scroll worth it. You’ve only got a few seconds to capture their attention! 👩🏼‍💻

We’ve had the absolute pleasure of working with this client across both of their businesses—designing and managing their websites for over four years (and counting!) 🐾

“Hannah provided an incredible service. We have two different businesses and both websites for our companies are designed and managed through Black Dog Creative for over 4 years now. Hannah is extremely attentive, creative and professional at a very competitive price. Highly recommended.”

Long-term partnerships like this are what we’re all about ✨

Your design might be polished, but if the words don’t reflect your voice… your message can fall flat.

Website copy should sound like you—not like a robot, or someone who lives inside a thesaurus. People want clarity and connection. Not confusion.

If your site sounds stiff, overly formal, or just… off? It might be time to revisit your messaging.

Pro tip: Read it out loud. If it doesn’t sound like something you’d say, rewrite it! ✨ 👩‍💻

Nipîy Tu Research & Knowledge Centre came to us pre-launch, looking for a website that felt rooted in nature and aligned with their mission: protecting the environment and advancing Indigenous knowledge systems.

They wanted something professional, but not overly polished—something that felt grounded and reflective of their land and work.

We collaborated to build a custom Webflow site that:
🌿 Highlights their growing programs and accomplishments
🧭 Incorporates a blog and CMS to support future content
💻 Reflects their values through thoughtful design and storytelling

This one was a true honour to be a part of.
