“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 for founders and small teams who want a guided start, clear approvals, and a private portal that carries the relationship from project request through delivery.
Starter Website
A clean, credible web presence with a guided start, clear decision points, and a calm portal-backed path into delivery.
Growth Website
A high-performing website path with structured reviews, full portal access, and a confident move from kickoff into active delivery.
Advanced Website
A fully custom engagement with advanced functionality, premium guidance, and a portal-backed delivery path from scope through launch.

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.
