Better Businesses provides website development for businesses in Whitehorse, Yukon. Whitehorse is the Wilderness City and Yukon's capital, with a population of about 28,000 and an economy driven by government, tourism and mining. Whether you serve customers in Downtown Whitehorse, Riverdale or Porter Creek, our team builds website development programs designed for how people in Whitehorse actually search, compare and buy.

A website for a Whitehorse business has to do three things: load instantly on mobile, communicate trust in seconds and make it effortless to call, book or request a quote. We design every page around those outcomes, with the visual quality Whitehorse's government and tourism sectors expect.

Every site we build in Whitehorse ships with technical SEO, structured data and a content management system, so your Whitehorse location pages, blog and portfolio can grow without a developer.

We integrate the tools Whitehorse businesses actually use: online booking, quote calculators, CRM and email platforms, live chat, payment processing and analytics that show exactly which pages generate enquiries.

What is website development?

Whitehorse grew 12.4 percent between 2016 and 2021, from 25,085 to 28,201 residents, one of the fastest rates of any Canadian city. Its 11,436 occupied dwellings are spread over 413.94 square kilometres, and the median household income was $112,000 in 2020, well above the national level.

For a local business, that means a small, affluent and growing market that holds most of Yukon's businesses and jobs, with government, health care and retail as the anchors and a strong summer tourism season. Newcomers arrive every year, and they are actively looking for local providers.

A Whitehorse website needs to work well on slower northern connections and mobile devices, serving 11,436 households that shop locally and tourists planning trips from far away.
