Pattern analyses of high-converting Canadian business websites across 15+ industries. Each guide covers the design patterns that drive conversions in that specific category, plus the gotchas to avoid.
Most "best website designs" roundups are screenshot galleries that age badly. A site that looked great in 2022 might be dead, redesigned, or no longer good 18 months later. The screenshots stay; the relevance fades.
These guides take a different approach. Each focuses on the design PATTERNS that consistently work for a specific industry — patterns drawn from analyzing dozens of high-performing Canadian sites in each category. Patterns age better than examples.
Use these guides to either evaluate your current website or brief a designer on what high-converting sites in your industry actually do.

Specific website examples age badly — sites get redesigned, rebranded, or abandoned. Pattern analysis (what works structurally) ages well. The patterns described in these guides have been consistent over 12+ years of testing across hundreds of Canadian business websites.
Many patterns are universal, but Canadian-specific elements include: NAP consistency for local SEO, French-language considerations for Quebec markets, provincial license/insurance disclosures, Canadian payment processor preferences, and regulatory considerations specific to each industry's Canadian context.
Yes — that's a primary use case. Share the relevant industry guide with your designer or agency at project kickoff. Use the patterns and gotchas as evaluation criteria for design proposals.
