How We Reviewed

1. HRVST

Website:http://www.gohrvst.com/

Address: 4020 Saint Ambroise St Ste 489

Contact: 1-844-464-7878

Hours: Monday – Friday: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM

If you’re frustrated with slow corporate processes, HRVST brings a much faster and more efficient style. 

Their designers cover a lot: logos, print materials, and ad campaigns. They’re also experts in Shopify Plus and Webflow, so they can handle anything from simple theme edits to bigger, custom builds. 

We interviewed a client who worked with them on a branding update, and they shared how the team kept things moving quickly without cutting corners on quality. 

Just a heads up, they mainly focus on Shopify and Webflow projects, so if you need something outside of those platforms, they might not be the best technical fit. 

Still, they’ll look at your project and let you know if they can help based on your needs.

2. Anna Goodson Illustration Agency

Website:http://www.agoodson.com/

Address: 38-11 Place du Commerce Suite 611

Contact: +1 514 482-0488

Hours: Contact for details

If you want eye-catching, high-end visuals that tell a story, Anna Goodson Illustration Agency has been a go-to choice since 1996. 

They’ve created art for some of the biggest global brands and publishers, and they still make sure the creative process is open and collaborative. 

Once your project starts, you get to work one-on-one with the illustrator, so your ideas come to life just how you pictured. 

Plus, they take the stress out of paperwork and contracts, handling all the legal stuff like copyright and usage rights for you. 

But keep in mind that their pricing can get complicated since it depends on how and where you’ll use the artwork. They’re usually a better fit for bigger campaigns rather than small, local jobs.

3. Social Media 55

Website:https://socialmedia55.com/

Address: 1200 McGill College Ave Ste 1100

Contact: 1-844-633-4255

Hours: Monday – Sunday: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM

Social Media 55 really stands out for their “nano-targeting” approach. This means they can zoom in on super-specific audience groups and make your marketing visuals even more effective. 

They’ve got a full setup that combines graphic design with UX and UI design, so your graphics look great and work well in digital spaces. 

Plus, their “à la carte” services are perfect if you don’t want a fixed package and just need something custom.

During a recent consultation with an advertising agency, we saw one of their campaign layouts and were genuinely impressed by how much thought they put into connecting with the local market. 

The only thing to keep in mind is that their full-service agency setup can be a bit much if you just need something simple, like a business card design.

Customer Reviews

4. NWM Canada

Website:https://nwmcanada.com/

Address: 600, Boul. de Maisonneuve Ouest Bureau 1700

Contact: 514-883-3705

Hours: Monday – Friday: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM

If you’re after a “one-stop shop” that can handle everything from web development to performance marketing, NWM Canada should definitely be on your radar. 

Their graphic design work is closely connected to how your website functions, making it easier to keep your branding and online store in sync. 

Plus, they’re super responsive. In fact, we’ve seen them send out quotes in less than a day, which is awesome if you need to get things done fast. 

That being said, their main focus is on digital marketing and web development, so they aren’t the place to go for super specialized artistic projects like fancy editorial layouts or unique typography. 

Still, they’re a solid choice if you want your branding and web strategy to fit together perfectly.

5. Design Shopp

Website:http://designshopp.com/

Address: 5455 De Gaspe Ave, Suite 710

Contact: 514-303-8327 | 877-648-2631

Hours: Monday – Friday: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Design Shopp brings a smart, data-driven approach to creativity, focusing on user experience and marketing insights to help your visuals actually drive conversions. 

They don’t just make stuff look good; they make it work hard for your business goals. 

And with over 16 years in the game, their process is super organized, covering everything from pre-launch testing to API integration checks, which really cuts down on technical problems after launch.

Their disciplined workflow makes things predictable and smooth, which is great for people who like clear project management. 

On the other hand, if you’re someone who prefers to experiment and make changes on the fly, their style might feel a bit too strict. 

Customer Reviews

We couldn’t be happier with the finished product

“I worked with the Design Shopp team on a 6-month complete website redesign for our company and was thoroughly impressed with their project management skills from day 1 of the initial proposal straight through the design and development phases to our recent launch. The team were extremely helpful, organized, responsive, knowledgeable and receptive to feedback and we couldn’t be happier with the finished product. Two thumbs up.”
