How we can helpExplore Our Work
Spotlight on Recent Non‑Profit Projects
Martes Working Group
The Martes Working Group is a global non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation of the Martes Complex. While their original site delivered basic information, it did little to engage visitors, showcase research, or invite community participation. We aimed to change that.
North Valley Gymnastics
Our goal for North Valley Gymnastics in Vernon, BC was to design a clean, mobile-friendly Squarespace website that simplifies registration and showcases their wide range of programs.
Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation
Like many non-profits, the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation depends on the generosity of donors for most of their funding, but their outdated website had become a frustrating barrier between the organization and its potential donors.
Historic O'Keefe Ranch
We redesigned O'Keefe Ranch's website, located in Vernon, BC, to showcase their heritage and promote events. By incorporating a dynamic calendar, intuitive navigation, and utilizing SEO best practices, we enhanced user experience and boosted online engagement.

Don’t Take Our Word For It
I worked with Lesia and her team on a project to both create a new logo and a new website for the Registered Psychiatric Nurse Regulators of Canada. They were extremely good to work with – responsive, professional, patient with our timelines – and produced beautiful work that the organization is very happy with. All this at a very reasonable and affordable cost. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lesia Design and Digital to anyone looking for a quality new web presence!
Lesia Design & Digital's team was able to do some amazing SEO work which resulted in a big jump in our Google ranking!! I would highly recommend their services to anyone.
Lesia and her team were amazing to work with. There expertise, professionalism and vision were first rate and the end result was a warm professional website that drives traffic.Thanks Lesia and team, you are exceptional!!
Lesia and her team are FANTASTIC! As a very small solopreneur, I was unsure about investing in an upgrade for my website. Not only did they respect my very meager budget but they blew me away with the entire experience. As someone who identifies as a 'non-techy' they have provided me a website I'm proud to share and can even do a little of my own updating. EXTRA BONUS points to work with an all women team!
… working with all of you has definitely been a blast. To be honest I was incredibly nervous about this process as I have next to zero tech savvy ability … However your entire team has made this process fun and engaging the entire time and I can honestly say that I have really enjoyed working with all of you. For real!!!!
Lesia and her team did an amazing job re-creating and improving my website. They were also easy to work with in regards to the CDAP rebate.
I love my new website designed by Lesia Design! It is the perfect representation of who we are and what it feels like to be in our space. Everyone agrees the site is so much more ‘us’ now—so inspiring, appealing and inviting.
At no point in time have I felt like I was dealing with a “company”. It very much feels like I am dealing with a trusted friend who is very interactive, very personable, with all the energy and enthusiasm that a trusted friend would have… rather than the disconnected, at-arm’s-length experience you expect from most companies. Your personality is extremely unique in the way that it is heart warming and true, and it has shone through in the finished products you have provided me, and all the interactions along the way!
I started down the road of creating my own website, but quickly realized I was going to need some professional help if it was going to be the site I envisioned. Lesia Design and Digital came to the rescue. One of the things I really appreciated was that even a very small business gets the care and attention needed. I am thrilled with the results, and the training I received will help me manage most of the updates that will need to be made, though I look forward to working with this great team in the future.
This is AWESOME! We had our first full success with the booth last night! I’m playing with my son after dinner… chat notification comes through. I sent a few notes and linked them up with our distributor. They phoned them and are getting a quote! Crazy, absolutely crazy. Exactly like we were hoping the virtual booth would work!
