Studio
A web studio in Vancouver.
MGnetic Designs designs and builds websites for small businesses: the trades, shops and services that people look for nearby.
A small business already has what a good website needs: real work, real prices and a real place. Our job is to arrange it so the right people find it, trust it, and get in touch.
Four rules for every site
You own everything
The code, the files, the hosting account and the domain are yours from the first day.
Fast on a phone
Most people find a local business on their phone. Pages load quickly on a weak signal.
Plain words
Say what you do, where, and what it costs. No slogans a customer has to decode.
The mark
01 / 04
Two arches
The M is drawn as a horseshoe magnet: two arches, three legs, one unbroken stroke.
02 / 04
The second arch becomes the G
Its last leg rolls into the bowl of the G, so the two letters share one line.
03 / 04
North and south
The foot of the M is the north pole, the bar of the G the south. Each has a painted band, like a real magnet.
04 / 04
An iron filing, pulled in
One amber filing above the G. On this site it turns to face your cursor.
Move the poles
Drag the two poles. The filings turn to the field between them, the way iron filings line up on paper over a magnet. Flip one pole and watch two like poles push the field apart.
Colour
Two pairs of opposites
A double complementary palette. North red sits opposite teal on the colour wheel; south blue sits opposite amber. The poles carry the mark, their opposites carry the page.
