We’ve researched all the major plugins and have a solution to almost all development requirements. Because WordPress has multiple themes and plugins, it’s easy to customize your WordPress site to make it look and function the way you like.

About Langley
The City of Langley is a dynamic urban centre located about 45 kilometres east of Vancouver with a population of 26,000. It is adjacent to the historic suburb of Cloverdale and is surrounded on the north, east and south by the Township of Langley (pop. 104,00) in the agriculture-rich Fraser Valley.
Agritourism is one of Langley’s major economic drivers considered a flourishing wine and culinary destination. From fresh produce and preserves to award-winning grape vintages, agritourists can pick berries and visit orchards, or experience life on a working dairy farm. Local wineries offer vineyard tours, too, to help promote the art of winemaking. Additionally, the Township of Langley is considered the horse capital of BC with approximately $50 million contributed annually to its booming equine industry.
In an Ipsos Community Survey, residents expressed what they liked most about the City of Langley, which included its central location, proximity to amenities, lush green spaces, community spirit, and peaceful neighbourhoods. Home to six established residential neighbourhoods, high-density residential development, and a revitalized pedestrian-oriented downtown, Langley recognizes the long-term, positive impact of redeveloping underutilized land and revitalizing its downtown core, and as a result, created a Downtown Master Plan to guide redevelopment into 2029. The award-winning plan will encourage investment and act as a catalyst for economic activity.
People reside in Langley for the high standard of lifestyle and the low cost of living; it’s significantly lower than downtown Vancouver. Office space, land, and housing costs are considerably lower than other cities in the Lower Mainland and housing is about 58% less than Vancouver while retail space is about seven times lower. Langley also boasts the largest square footage in commercial retail outside of Vancouver, from big box stores to specialty shops and boutiques.
Many businesses and developers have turned to Langley for easy access to affluent markets and a higher return on investment. Langley’s history as a major hub of trade, transportation and commerce is reflected in the city’s current booming economy.
A major contributor to the economy is Langley’s world-class educational system, which produces an abundance of talented and skilled workers. The Ministry of Education’s Provincial Review team have placed Langley as one of BC’s “highest performing” areas. A broad spectrum of post secondary institutions including Kwantlen Polytechnic University, the globally recognized Langley Community Music School, and Trinity Western University in the surrounding township, among others, contribute to the educational demographic.
The number of jobs in Langley exceeds the size of its resident labour force and the City enjoys one of the highest ratios of jobs to population in the entire Metro Vancouver region. The City actively works to keep and improve their stimulating business climate, which was recently acknowledged when Langley won the BCSmall Business Roundtable’s “Open for Business Award” for being one of the most business-friendly communities in the province. Small business is valued in Langley, and the City is particularly invested in promoting its growth and success; in 2013 Langley was given the NAIOP Most Improved Municipality Award. A testament to the award, Langley endeavours to place a strong emphasis on infrastructure development so it can continue to thrive in all major industry sectors.

What our clients are saying
Kevin and his team are fantastic. We’ve been working with them for some time now. They’ve built out some awesome landing pages for us that have been able to generate some solid conversions via our SEO. Big thanks to Kevin and his team for making digital marketing, something we know very little about it, a much easier process than I had initially imagined it would be :)
After 15+ years of dealing with a national firm, we moved to Kevin at Yardstick Services for our website redesign and digital marketing campaign. What a refreshing change…we received professional guidance and expertise from their team and they made the migration process seamless. After 3 years, we continue to receive excellent and timely service. They are a pleasure to deal with and I highly recommend them.
Our team has had an amazing experience working with Yardstick on our new website build. Very organized, professional and personable. Highly recommend and cannot say enough good things about this crew! Looking forward to continuing to work with Yardstick. THANK YOU for helping to bring us into the 21st Century!
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Yardstick Services for the past two years. They have used their expertise to optimize our website, implement SEO strategies to drive traffic to our website and to improve our social media reach. The results have been exceptional. Their creative approach, flexibility and commitment to data-driven ideas have significantly enhanced our online presence. I have appreciated Kevin and the entire team at Yardstick for being able to deliver high quality work that has produced amazing results for us, all within the constraints of our budget.
Our company, International Yacht Training Worldwide, has worked with Yardstick for over a decade and are more than satisfied with the design of our website, collaboration when designing, and, of course, their support over the years. Owner, Kevin McLeod, and all of the Yardstick team are there to offer assistance when the need arises. Yardstick has created a second website for a new division of our company, Global Yacht Club, which is in an infancy stage. Their design and support teams are amazing and I highly recommend their services!
Our organization has worked with Yardstick for many years and have found their services to be attentive and thorough. They provide excellent advice on security and web development. We are extremely happy with Kevin and Brendon and their expertise.
I have worked with Yardstick for several years now on multiple website development projects, SEO, and web security, and cannot recommend them enough. Through the development of each site, Kevin has provided expert guidance and cost-conscious alternatives. Everyone on their team has been very knowledgeable and shown their commitment to meeting our needs, expectations, and timelines.
The website has totally revolutionized our organization. It’s a total game changer. We’ve gone from 4,000 people a month viewing our site to 24,000 people a month. We’re overwhelmed with the number of inquiries and requests we’re now getting.
Thank you for your unwavering support, leadership and patience in prep for this timely launch. On behalf of the JDS team, we are so appreciative of, not only Caitlin’s work (over the long weekend to ensure our deadlines were met), but your dependable and honest guidance.
We have been collaborating with Yardstick for a few years now for website development, SEO strategy and web security. Kevin and the Yardstick team are great – they provide professionalism and expertise but with a human touch that make it all the more enjoyable to work with them.
Also, for those of us who are metrics-driven, Yardstick’s regular updates on our firm’s online performance are fantastic!
