Charlie & Co. is a design & development shop nestled in a suburb of the GTA.
We create forward-thinking websites and web applications for organizations that value quality, performance, and long-term sustainability.
With over two decades of experience — including work inside the University of Toronto ecosystem — we combine design clarity, technical depth, and strategic insight to bring complex ideas to life.
We’re not a large agency — and that’s by design. When you work with us, you get direct access to the people who design, code, and launch your project.
Built for Today, Not Yesterday.
While others still rely on dated CMS technology, we build with modern frameworks like Next.js, GraphQL, Tailwind, and Alpine.js — paired with the reliability of WordPress.
Boutique Attention. Enterprise-Level Expertise.
You’ll never be handed off to an account manager. Our founders work directly with you — from strategy to deployment — ensuring your goals never get lost in translation.
Accessible by Default.
Accessibility isn’t an add-on; it’s baked into our process from the first design to final launch.
Cloud-Ready Infrastructure.
We plan and deploy scalable solutions across Azure and other cloud platforms, ensuring your site runs fast, securely, and reliably under any load.
Honest Partnership.
We don’t do cookie-cutter projects or quick wins. We build relationships and solutions that last.
We handle everything from concept to deployment with a hands-on approach that ensures clarity, speed, and quality.
UI/UX Design & Accessibility
User-focused interfaces that look great and meet WCAG standards — because good design should be usable by everyone.
WordPress Development
Custom themes, plugins, and multisite builds using ACF, Gutenberg, and Alpine.js — built for maintainability and scalability.
Headless & Full-Stack Development
Next.js front-ends powered by WordPress or Supabase backends, connected through GraphQL for seamless content delivery.
Infrastructure & Hosting
Optimized hosting, Azure deployment planning, and cloud infrastructure that scales with your business.
Consultation & Support
From system architecture to digital strategy, we provide the insight and expertise to help your projects succeed long-term.
