Every website Parachute builds runs on WordPress with fully custom theme development. We don’t use page builders like Elementor or Divi, and we don’t build on Shopify. Custom themes mean cleaner code, faster load times, and no bloat from features you don’t need.

Our standard tech stack includes:

Core platform: WordPress with custom PHP theme development, Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) for flexible content management, and Custom Post Types for structured data.

Front-end: HTML5, CSS3, and vanilla JavaScript. We avoid heavy JS frameworks for marketing sites where page speed and Core Web Vitals are a priority.

eCommerce: WooCommerce for custom online stores, with payment gateway integrations via Stripe, Moneris, and others, depending on the project.

Performance and Core Web Vitals: Every build is optimized for Google’s Core Web Vitals — Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), Interaction to Next Paint (INP), and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS). We optimize images at build time, implement lazy loading, minimize render-blocking resources, and configure server-side caching. Sites are hosted on Kinsta or WP Engine for enterprise-grade performance.

SEO infrastructure: Rank Math for on-page SEO, schema markup built natively into custom themes, and XML sitemaps configured on every project.

Security and maintenance: SSL, automated backups, WordPress core and plugin update management, and uptime monitoring are included in all maintenance plans.

We don’t inherit other agencies’ codebases. Every project is built from scratch, which means we know every line of code and can support it properly after launch.

Parachute is one of the top web development companies in Toronto, as recognized by Clutch. Our team consists of 6 web designers and 8 website developers, which allows us to tackle projects of all shapes and sizes from small businesses to enterprise-level solutions.

Our website development company went virtual in 2009 and has enjoyed a greater work-life balance that keeps our team engaged, expanding their knowledge and always passionate about their work.

Contact us and speak to one of the top web developers in Toronto to learn more about our experience and what makes Parachute one of the best web development teams around.

Our web development company is based in Toronto, Canada. Transitioning to a virtual agency in 2009, our team now ranges from Ontario to British Columbia, also including a few very talented web designers in the United States. This flexible agency structure has allowed our certified developers to grow from the best talent in the web design industry without relying on the Toronto area alone.

As virtual web developers in Toronto and across Canada, our talented team offers web support across several time zones. This flexibility offers significant value for our clients across Canada and the US to support their business with ongoing maintenance services to ensure their visually appealing website continues to captivate their target audience and generates leads. Our maintenance and support services also ensure your site is running smoothly for long-term success.

Every project starts with a discovery phase where we define your goals, audience, and technical requirements. We then move to wireframes, design, and development in sequential phases with client review at each stage. You have one project manager throughout and access to project management tools so nothing is a surprise.

Pricing a web development project requires some key details from you to provide an accurate quote. We must understand your goals, digital marketing needs and unique functional requirements for your website. Every site is unique and requires different features and functions to provide flexibility and support various page layouts. We break down web development projects into four tiers to tailor a proposal to your unique needs.

Our web development company works with small- to medium-sized businesses and enterprise-level clients. Parachute has been a thought leader in the web development industry since 2003 and has worked with some of Canada’s most exciting brands to help grow their business.

We work with brands and businesses of all sizes to deliver custom digital solutions across industries, from professional services and tech companies to law firms and healthcare organizations. No matter your industry, we have the experience to uncover what makes you unique in your niche and deliver creative solutions that deliver measurable results.

We believe in approaching web and graphic design projects with hand-crafted design to help each client meet their goals rather than offer a one-size-fits-all solution. This approach leads to a great long-term relationship with our clients.

Paired with our creative and technical expertise, this approach makes Parachute a great partner.

Do you work with companies outside of Canada?

Yes, as a global leader, we are exposed to exciting global opportunities across various industries. We work with international businesses and organizations in the US, Europe and Australia to turn ideas into revenue for our clients.

Our deeply knowledgeable web development firm uses the latest e-commerce software solutions in the open-source arena accepted by the global economy. We use innovative solutions powered by the latest technology known to all e-commerce industries. WooCommerce is our e-Commerce development platform of choice for building custom business solutions. The WordPress platform allows each website developer to dream up highly customized online stores to drive new business for our web design clients.

We sometimes employ other PHP-based platforms and software services, such as Magento; however, the most flexible and powerful solution is usually custom WordPress e-commerce development. When partnering with a third party for social media marketing, mobile app development and other digital marketing services, we offer the most effective business solutions by relying on creativity and collaboration.

Our expert website developers often create customized payment gateways integrated with our websites using accessible payment processors such as Stripe or Moneris, among many others, where a more complex eCommerce solution may not be necessary.

We do not work with the Shopify eCommerce platform because it is a closed system that, unfortunately, limits our ability to customize the experience, functionality, and unique design opportunities.

Contact us today to learn more about our custom e-Commerce website design services.

Yes! We support every website we build and offer a wide variety of maintenance plans tailored to each website’s individual needs. Regular web maintenance is essential for a positive user experience, cybersecurity and search engine optimization.

Website support and maintenance may vary depending on your website’s unique makeup and your marketing needs. eCommerce web development and membership sites often require a little more attention than lead generation websites due to the nature of the information they process and store.

Contact us today for a free consultation and learn more about our website maintenance packages.

As much as we love helping people, we no longer accept projects that require working on websites created by other web development companies. A web developer must invest significantly in understanding how your website is built and how it functions, which is likely different from our approach. In many cases, what may seem like a simple update or change can create a snowball effect that can take many hours to diagnose and resolve. This results in added costs for the website owner and, by our web development company’s standards, a patchwork solution.

eCommerce development, in particular, can be quite time-consuming, as adjustments to website architecture and functionality pose much greater risks without a thorough understanding of the site’s inner workings.

The cost of these scenarios is often comparable to a new web development project, yet yields only limited improvements. Rather than create a scenario that doesn’t reflect the level of customer service our firm prides itself on, we’ve opted to avoid fixing websites that another software development company has created.

When you hire our web developers in Toronto, you’ll be paired with our passionate web design team, led by an experienced project manager, to see it through to the end.

We’ve streamlined our communication process and workflow, so you always understand what comes next. We use various project management tools that provide clear access for all project stakeholders and visibility into key project milestones.
