OUR AWARD WINNING DESIGN PROCESS
Web Designer & Branding Studio for Small Businesses
Your work is meaningful. Your website should be too.
At The Good Canvas, we believe design isn’t just about looking good; it’s about feeling aligned, showing up with confidence, and creating a lasting connection with the people you’re meant to serve.
Most clients come to me when they’re ready to invest in a website and brand that feel professional, sustainable, and aligned with the direction their business is growing.
Through a thoughtful, collaborative process, we help you shape a visual identity that feels true to who you are and where you’re headed. From brand discovery to website design (and even email marketing that nurtures connection), every element is intentionally crafted to support your growth – not just your presence.
Our design style is clean, intuitive, and elevated – led by your story, not trends. Because your brand deserves more than a template. It deserves a home that reflects your vision, holds space for your next chapter, and helps your audience feel instantly at home.
From brand clarity to website confidence, you’ll walk away with more than just beautiful visuals; you’ll gain a strategic, sustainable foundation that works for you and works hard with you.
Below you’ll find a selection of package options to help you find exactly what you need – and not anything less. We’re always able to design exactly to your business and needs. When you’re ready to learn more or feel free to book a call to chat about your dream website.

Your work is meaningful. Your brand and website should be too.
We believe design is more than visual – it’s experiential. When your brand identity and website work together, your audience feels it. They understand who you are, what you offer, and why it matters.
Our process combines strategy and artistry to bring your vision to life, creating a brand and online home that feels cohesive, elevated and completely you.
WHO WE WORK WITH
The Good Canvas is for creative entrepreneurs who care deeply about how their work is experienced, both online and off. This is for you if you’re craving clarity. If your ideas feel scattered across platforms, your website feels hard to manage, or your brand no longer matches where your business is heading. You value intention over trends, longevity over quick fixes, and a website that feels like a steady, supportive foundation rather than something you’re constantly fighting with. Most of my clients are based in Burlington, Ontario and across Canada, and are looking for a thoughtful, collaborative design process that honours both the practical needs of their business and the quieter, more human side of their work.
If you want a brand and website that grows with you, supports your work behind the scenes, and feels like an honest extension of who you are, you’re in the right place.
We’ve worked with:
Event planners, photographers, artists, designers, wellness practitioners
Small business owners who want fewer, better-fit clients
Creatives ready to invest in a website that evolves over time
Service and product based businesses looking to add meaning and thought to their online presence.
Looking for Something a Little Smaller?
If you’re not quite ready for a full-scale brand and website project and would like to organize and plan out your website design, content and copy yourself we’ve build a digital planner to help you with exactly that!
Whether it’s a one-page website, a design refresh, or a specific digital piece that needs thoughtful attention – our website planner is designed to help you every step of the way and guide you to the most beautiful and powerful version of your site possible.

EXAMPLES OF WEB DESIGN AND BRANDING
A Collection of our Recent Work
“Donata provided invaluable insights into the world of SEO, emphasizing its significance for my art business. She was both informative and encouraging and I am excited to implement her strategies on my website.

Reflections from Those We’ve Created With
We’re proud to have partnered with entrepreneurs and creatives who trust us to bring their vision to life. Here’s what they’ve shared about their experience working with The Good Canvas.
Working with Donata and The Good Canvas has been an absolute game-changer for my business. From the very beginning, their approach was strategic, thoughtful, and deeply aligned with my brand values. In just a few months, they helped refine my website, elevate my overall brand presence, and implement smart, impactful changes that drove real results.
Since working together, my website sessions have increased by over 60%, and organic traffic has increased almost 40×, with a strong increase in organic keyword visibility. Several key pages are now performing exceptionally well, driving consistent, high-quality traffic to my site. Beyond the numbers, what truly sets Donata and her team apart is their clarity, efficiency, and ability to translate strategy into measurable, meaningful growth. I genuinely couldn’t have taken my business to this next level without The Good Canvas.
“Donata provided all of this and more! I needed something affordable, in simple terms, with visual help and that could be done quickly.
I’d recommend Donata to anyone who’s looking to expand their business and really understand how things work. Her information was thorough, easy to understand and I can refer back to it when I get stuck. Thank you so much!“
I really appreciated Donata’s help! Before my sessions with her, I wasn’t really sure what my goals where or what my WHY was. After my sessions with her, I had clarity and clear vision on where I was going with my textile art business! I would absolutely recommend her!
Donata is SO TALENTED and goes the extra mile to make sure that everything she creates is completely aligned with you and your brand. She is intentional with every detail and there is nothing plug-and-play about her approach. If you are looking for expert, customized, and strategic support – The Good Canvas is your answer! Thank you Donata for my stunning AND functional website. You’re amazing!
I’d been DIY-ing my website for years—kind of like the “before” scenes in a Real Housewives glow-up. Functional, sure, but it never felt like me. It was more Old Navy than Zara—practical and approachable but missing that extra polish to truly stand out.
Enter Donata at The Good Canvas. She was my branding fairy godmother: she understood the vibes. Now, my website reflects my brand and showcases my artwork exactly the way I’ve always envisioned. It’s still relatable and accessible, but with a clarity and confidence that screams “this is me.”
If you’ve been side-eyeing your own website and wondering if it still fits your brand, take this as your sign to refresh. Donata’s expertise will have you asking, “Why didn’t I do this sooner?” Trust me, the transformation is worth it.
My experience with Donata for website design and graphics exceeded all my expectations. She took the time to ask the right questions in order to understand my needs, expectations and preferences. Throughout the entire process, she was responsive and always available for questions and modifications. She was able to deliver our finalized product within the aggressive timelines I had set out. Her knowledge, expertise and creativity at every stage were key ingredients for a successful outcome. Absolutely recommend!
