What your website should do
for your business.
Clear messaging, credible design, fast performance, and a site that's easy to grow with.
Custom Website Development
A site that feels credible from day one.
Custom websites built around your business, your offer, and the kind of first impression that helps clients feel confident reaching out.
High-Performance Optimization
Fast enough to feel effortless.
We remove friction so pages load quickly, browsing feels smooth, and visitors stay focused on your message instead of waiting for the site.
Conversion-Focused Design
Clear journeys, stronger next steps.
Every section is shaped to guide the right action, whether that means booking, enquiring, purchasing, or simply trusting you faster.
SEO & Site Foundations
Easy to find, easy to trust.
We build strong structure behind the scenes so your site is easier to discover, easier to understand, and ready to support long-term growth.
CMS & E-Commerce Development
Simple to manage, ready to sell.
From editable content to online selling, we create setups that feel polished for clients and practical for your team to update over time.
Need something a little more tailored? We'll help you scope the right starting point.
Real launches.
Clear proof.
Client work shows the kind of experience people actually get. Concept builds show how far the system can go.
MindHub Therapy
A calm, trust-first website for a therapy practice — designed to help hesitant visitors feel safe and ready to reach out.
Atelier

Want something like this built for your business?
A calm process you can
actually follow.
You always know what's being worked on, what's next, and how the project is moving forward.
Discovery
We understand your business, your audience, and what visitors need to feel before they take action.
Strategy & Structure
We map pages, content flow, and priorities early — so the site is clear before design begins.
Design & Build
The site takes shape with thoughtful design, clean code, and a steady client review process.
Launch & Handoff
We launch cleanly, stay close through handoff, and make sure everything feels solid and ready.
“Every great studio starts with a single project done exceptionally well. That's exactly where we are — and we're proud of it.”
New studio.
Serious craft.
Glacio is a Toronto-based web design and development studio built for small businesses and founders who want something more thoughtful than a template, without jumping straight to agency overhead.
I've completed my first client project and I'm actively taking on new work. If you want a studio partner who cares about how your site feels to clients as much as how it performs behind the scenes, let's talk.
Founded by Sean HackettClarity before complexity
The site is shaped around what your visitors need to understand quickly, not around trends that create confusion.
Built to be easy to manage
Everything is created to feel solid, maintainable, and simple to hand off once the project is live.
Focused on what moves your business
Success is measured by clarity, trust, and better client action, not by how much visual noise gets shipped.
A structured engagement.
Designed around your goals.
Three website paths, each with guided onboarding and a private portal that carries the experience from kickoff through delivery.
Starter Website
A clean, credible web presence with guided onboarding and a calm, structured portal experience.
Growth Website
A high-performing website with full portal access, built for growth and lead generation.
Advanced Website
A fully custom digital experience with advanced functionality and a fully guided delivery experience.

Not sure which path is right for you?
Common questions,
straight answers.
How much does a website cost in Toronto?
Glacio website engagements start from $2,900 for a Starter Website, $6,500 for a Growth Website, and $12,500 for an Advanced Website with custom functionality. Each package includes guided onboarding and a private portal that carries the project through delivery.
How long does it take to build a website?
Timelines vary by scope and are agreed upfront during onboarding. Starter engagements are typically the most compact. Growth and Advanced builds follow a milestone-based workflow so you always know where the project stands.
Do you work with clients outside of Toronto?
Yes — while I'm based in Toronto, Ontario, I work with clients across Canada and internationally. Everything is managed remotely with clear communication at every stage.
What's included in your web design packages?
Every package includes strategy, design, development, mobile-responsive layout, basic on-page SEO setup, and post-launch support. Higher tiers add CMS integration, e-commerce functionality, and performance optimisation.
Will I be able to update my website myself?
Yes. The Growth Website and above include CMS integration so you can edit content without touching code. A structured handoff is included so you're confident managing your site after launch.
Do you use templates or build from scratch?
Everything is built from scratch — no page builders, no themes, no bloat. Custom code means faster load times, cleaner design, and a site that's fully yours.
