Helping Local Businesses Thrive in a Modern World
We help businesses modernize and create beaiful brands.
What We Do for Local
Business
Crate Biz is built for the backbone of our communities — the local business owners, builders, and service providers who keep the world moving. We help you stand out in a crowded market with branding that’s sharp, websites that sell, and content that makes people stop scrolling.
Whether you're starting fresh or reinventing what you’ve built, we create brands people recognize and remember.
Branding (Logo, Colors, Brand Guide)
We craft full brand identities that speak clearly and confidently. From logo design to color palettes and typography, we build a consistent, memorable look — and provide you with a brand guide so everything stays aligned.
Website Design + Development
Your website is often the first impression — so we make it count. We design and build custom sites that are fast, responsive, visually sharp, and easy to update. From booking systems to menus, we tailor it to your business goals.
Social Media Content & Management
We help you show up online with purpose. That means branded posts, reels, stories, and campaigns that match your voice and reach your audience — plus, strategy and scheduling if you need full support.
Print & Promo Materials
From business cards to flyers, signage to packaging — we design all the physical pieces your brand needs to get noticed, shared, and remembered. High-quality files and print-ready formats included.
Photography & Video
Professional visuals matter. We capture your business, products, people, and space in a way that builds trust and tells your story — perfect for websites, social, and marketing use.
Strategy + Consulting
Need help figuring out what’s next? We offer 1-on-1 guidance on brand positioning, marketing strategy, digital tools, and growth opportunities — all tailored to small business realities.
Work That Speaks for Itself

Step 3: Launch
We roll it out together and make sure you're set up to keep growing with tools, templates, and support.
We Know Small Business — Because We Are One.
Why Work With Us
We’ve worked with restaurants, clinics, trades, and retail shops across Northern Ontario. We know your time is limited, your budget matters, and every detail needs to work. That’s why we make the process smooth, collaborative, and clear — with no fluff or wasted time.
You get big-agency results with small-business care.
The Crate Biz Advantage
Modern Conversion
We help traditional businesses evolve into modern brands — with websites, booking systems, and online presence designed to drive sales, not confusion.
Automation, Simplified
No gatekeeping here. We set up systems that save you time — and teach you how to use them. Because automation should feel like autopilot, not a mystery.
Clarity Over Complexity
We skip the jargon and fancy fluff. Our designs and strategies are clean, functional, and focused on helping customers find and trust you online.
Affordable, Transparent Pricing
We believe in fair pricing that works for real businesses. No bloated quotes. No unnecessary upsells. Just the essentials done exceptionally well.
