Web design in Dartmouth, Bedford and across Nova Scotia
Antrim Studios is a web design studio in Halifax. We design and build websites for small businesses across the Halifax Regional Municipality and the rest of Nova Scotia, on the same published packages, prices and process wherever you are.
Start a projectWhere we work
- Halifax. The peninsula, Clayton Park, Spryfield and the rest of the mainland side of the city, where the studio is based.
- Dartmouth and Cole Harbour. Downtown Dartmouth, Burnside and the communities across the harbour.
- Bedford and Sackville. Bedford, the Bedford Basin communities, Lower Sackville and Middle Sackville.
- The rest of HRM. Fall River, Tantallon, Timberlea, the Eastern Shore and the other communities of the Halifax Regional Municipality.
- Elsewhere in Nova Scotia. Truro, the Annapolis Valley, the South Shore, Cape Breton and anywhere else in the province, planned and reviewed by video.
How a project runs when you’re not in Halifax
The process is the same for a café in Dartmouth, a contractor in Bedford or a clinic in Truro. You send the short project form or an email, we reply by email, and if it’s a good fit we suggest a short call by phone or video. You receive a written proposal with the pages, price and timeline before anything is booked.
We build the website on a private preview link. You approve the homepage direction first, then review the full site on your own phone and computer before it launches on your domain. See how a project runs for the five steps.
Getting found where your customers are
For local searches, Google weighs how relevant a business is, how far it is from the person searching, and how well known it is. A website can’t change the distance, but it can say clearly what you do and which communities you serve, so the right searches in Dartmouth, Bedford or anywhere else can find you.
- Page titles and headings that name your service and your area in plain words.
- Your address or service area, phone number and hours in text, matching your Google Business Profile.
- A page for each main service, written for your customers rather than repeated for every town nearby.
- Structured data, a sitemap and Google Search Console, set up at launch.

Questions about where we work
Do you build websites for businesses in Dartmouth and Bedford?
Yes. Antrim Studios is based in Halifax and builds websites for small businesses in Dartmouth, Bedford, Sackville and the rest of the Halifax Regional Municipality, on the same packages and prices as in Halifax.
Can you design a website for a business elsewhere in Nova Scotia?
Yes. We plan projects and review designs by email, phone and video, so a business in Truro, the Valley, the South Shore or Cape Breton goes through exactly the same process as one in Halifax.
Do we need to meet in person?
No. You review a private preview of the website on your own phone and computer, and feedback comes in written, consolidated rounds. Calls happen by phone or video.
Will my website help me get found in my own area?
Every package includes local SEO foundations: page titles and descriptions that name what you do and where, your address and service area in plain text, structured data and a Google Search Console setup. We name the places you actually serve, not a list of towns you don’t.
