Web design in Winnipeg for financial services, agriculture and B2B

I'm Elias Chapuis, a design engineer based in Saskatoon. I design and build websites for Winnipeg companies that sell considered products: insurance and financial services, agriculture businesses and B2B firms whose customers do their research before they get in touch.

My recent work includes Kulipa, a fintech infrastructure brand, and Glanceable, an AI platform used by large companies in insurance, telecom and retail. Projects with Winnipeg clients run remotely, and we're on the same clock in winter and one hour apart in summer.

Websites for Winnipeg's insurance, finance and agriculture companies

Winnipeg has long been a centre for insurance and financial services, and agriculture shapes a large part of the regional economy. These are sectors where trust is the product. Visitors want to understand what you offer, check that you're credible and find the right contact, without fighting through jargon or outdated pages.

I design for that kind of visitor: clear hierarchy, plain language, consistent visuals and proof placed exactly where it answers a doubt. The same approach works for a regional insurer, an agtech startup or a family business that has outgrown its first website.

What's included in a project

If your brand also needs an update, I can design the identity and the website together, so they work as one system. A typical project includes:

  • A discovery call and a written scope with a fixed price
  • Sitemap, page structure and messaging
  • Figma design with a reusable component library
  • Development in Webflow or code, responsive and accessible
  • SEO setup: metadata, redirects and performance
  • A handover and editing guide for your team

Built for teams that publish

Financial and agriculture companies often publish a lot: news, guides, product updates, rate or program changes, job posts. I set up CMS collections and page templates so your team can add content without breaking the layout or waiting on a developer.

Most sites I build for this kind of use run on Webflow, though I'll recommend another option if it fits your team better. Either way, you get documentation and a walkthrough, not a black box.

Working together from Saskatoon

I don't have an office in Winnipeg, and I won't pretend otherwise. What I offer is direct, senior collaboration: video calls for decisions, shared Figma files for feedback, and short written updates so nothing gets lost between meetings.

Being one province over helps: same time zone in winter, one hour apart in summer, and a shared understanding of how prairie businesses work and sell.

How a project runs

  1. 01

    Scope

    We talk about goals and constraints, then I send a fixed-price proposal with every deliverable listed.

  2. 02

    Structure

    Sitemap and messaging come first, so design starts from what visitors need to read.

  3. 03

    Design

    Page designs in Figma, reviewed together on video and through comments in the file.

  4. 04

    Build and launch

    Production build, testing and launch, with a walkthrough for the people who will edit the site.

Frequently asked questions

Do you work on-site in Winnipeg?

No, my projects with Winnipeg clients are remote. We meet by video, review designs in Figma and keep in touch through async updates. If an in-person kick-off would really help, we can discuss travel.

Can you work with regulated industries like insurance?

Yes. Regulated industries usually need tighter review cycles and careful wording, and I plan for that in the timeline from the start. Your compliance or legal reviewers can comment on copy and designs directly in shared files.

What platform do you recommend for a Winnipeg financial services website?

Webflow is often a good fit: it's hosted, fast, secure and lets your team edit content safely. For sites that need deep integration with internal systems, custom code may be better. I'll explain the trade-offs on our first call.

Can you redesign our site without losing our search rankings?

I plan redirects, keep the URLs that perform and carry over metadata, so a redesign protects the search visibility you've built as much as possible. I took the same care with Feedier's migration from WordPress to Webflow.
