Thirty years of award-winning work, finally on a site that shows it.
Shakespeare Homes & Renovations build custom homes on some of the most difficult terrain in the Lower Mainland. Eighty-seven industry awards since 2013. A site that said almost none of it.
A company the industry already respected.
Shakespeare Homes has been building on the North Shore since the early 1990s. Mark Cooper founded it after training through BCIT and three decades as a journeyman carpenter. In 2024 HAVAN gave him its Chair of Honour Award for contribution to the industry.
The company holds eighty-seven recognitions from HAVAN, the Georgie Awards, Ovation and the CHBA National Awards, counted one by one from 2013 to 2024. Georgie Custom Home Builder of the Year. A CHBA national win for best whole home renovation. Fifty client testimonials, written by name.
Their website reduced all of it to a single number in a sidebar.
They build where other people decline the job.
Most builder websites show kitchens. Shakespeare's real expertise is the part nobody photographs: geotechnical coordination, engineered foundations, slope stability, retaining wall systems and stormwater management on steep, forested North Shore lots.
That is the hardest thing they do, the reason architects call them, and it was nowhere on the old site. It became the spine of the new one.
Retaining wall systems
The engineering page most builders do not have, on the subject most of their competitors decline to quote.
Five pages, rebuilt.
The old site on the left of the wipe. The new one behind it.
Fifty pages, four weeks, built from scratch.
A custom theme
No template, no page builder. A bespoke layout engine written for this company's work.
Eight service pages
Including a dedicated page for complex site development, the thing that actually sets them apart.
Seven location pages
North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Vancouver, Sea to Sky, Whistler and the rest, each written for the place rather than spun from a template.
A project portfolio system
Their projects, their photography, structured so their office can add the next one without calling us.
The awards archive, finally told
Eighty-seven recognitions, by year, by awarding body, wins distinguished from finalist nods.
A full SEO migration
Every existing URL mapped to its new equivalent, so three decades of accumulated search authority survived the move.
Tested before it shipped
Every change ran through an automated check before it reached the live site, so the launch was a non-event.
You have more to show than your website is showing.
If you build custom homes, run a renovation firm or a premium trade in BC, the free audit is the same one Shakespeare started with. Thirty minutes, your business run live through the answer engine, and a clear picture of what AI search can and cannot see about you right now.
