The SyncDS team in Winnipeg
Sync Digital Solutions

Digital Solutions in Winnipeg, Built From an Office on Portage Avenue.

SyncDS builds websites, applications, search systems and AI infrastructure for established businesses, and does it from an office at 264 Portage Avenue in downtown Winnipeg. Manitoba clients get the same thing everyone else gets, which is a scope built on an audit rather than a package, and the same person on the work from first call to handover. What local adds is a room you can sit in, a production studio down the hall, and a shorter path from a problem to someone looking at it. If your business is at the point where the digital presence no longer matches the operation, the eligibility check is the fastest way to find out whether we are a fit.

Key Takeaways

A real address, not a service-area pin

The office is at 264 Portage Avenue, Winnipeg, MB, R3C 0B6. Phone is (431) 341-0341. Meetings happen in the room.

Manitoba work you can go and look at

Salisbury House, the Ed Dale Team and Hermanos are all Winnipeg businesses with published case studies on this site.

A production studio on site

Photo, video and podcast production runs out of the same building, which matters when a build needs real footage rather than stock.

Founder-led, not account-managed

Jay Hall scopes the work, does the work and owns the outcome. No account layer between you and the practitioner.

Best For

Established Winnipeg and Manitoba businesses whose reputation in the city is ahead of what their website and search presence say about them.

The Office Is at 264 Portage Avenue

The SyncDS office sits at 264 Portage Avenue, Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3C 0B6, in the downtown core. Phone is (431) 341-0341. Meetings are held in person when a project warrants it, which for a rebuild or a scoping session it usually does.

Downtown matters for a practical reason rather than a romantic one. A client who needs to be in the room can be in the room inside twenty minutes from most of the city, and a production day can happen without anyone booking a flight.

Five Disciplines, One Practitioner

SyncDS runs five service lines, and a Winnipeg engagement can use one or all of them:

DisciplineWhat it covers locally
Search and answer engine optimizationAudit-first search work, including the local pack and Google Business Profile signals that decide whether a Winnipeg business shows up on a map
Advanced website buildsCustom builds on a modern stack, scoped to the brand. No DIY platforms and no rented templates
App buildsPurpose-built mobile and web applications, shipped to the stores
AI and modernizationInternal systems and automation for owners who want the operation modernized rather than re-branded
ConsultingProject-based strategy work across operations, marketing and sales programs, run personally

The discipline-by-discipline detail lives on the national services hub. What follows here is the part that is specific to working with SyncDS in this city.

What We've Built for Manitoba Businesses

Three Winnipeg engagements are published in full on this site, with the deliverables and the numbers the clients agreed to publish.

Salisbury House. A Winnipeg institution since 1931, carrying a digital presence that had fallen a long way behind the brand. SyncDS rebuilt the website, put a real search strategy behind it, launched an email program, built a cohesive design system, and launched Sals Market as a new online revenue line. Published outcomes include 600% website traffic growth and $225K cut from marketing spend in the first year.

Ed Dale Team. Manitoba's top-producing real estate team, on a site that was disorganized, thin on legitimate leads and drowning in spam. SyncDS delivered a full rebuild on a new platform with complete IDX integration, new lead-generation tactics and video throughout. Published outcomes include leads rising year over year at an average rate of 11%, with a sharp drop in spam inquiries.

Hermanos. One of Winnipeg's standout steakhouses and wine bars. SyncDS reorganized the website, built a purpose-built events platform, and installed an in-house AI system the team runs themselves. Published outcomes include a 400% lift in event registrations, 4x revenue on the events line, an 18% increase in reservations and a 31% increase in site visitors.

Every figure above is already published on its own case study page. None of it is a forecast, and none of it is a promise about what a different business would see.

The Studio Is Part of the Service

SyncDS runs a photo, video and podcast studio on site, which changes what a build can contain. A website that needs real footage of a real room gets real footage instead of a stock library, and the shoot, the edit and the build happen under one scope rather than three vendors and a handoff problem.

For a Winnipeg client the studio is a half-day rather than a production budget. For the Ed Dale Team build, video ran throughout the site as a core part of the experience rather than a decoration.

What Working With a Local Practitioner Changes

Three things change, and none of them are about time zones.

What does not change is the standard. A Manitoba client is scoped, audited and quoted exactly the way a client anywhere else is.

Winnipeg Is the Base. The Client List Isn't.

SyncDS is based in Winnipeg and works with clients across Canada and any English-speaking country. Being headquartered here is not a limit on who we take, and being outside Manitoba is not a reason we would turn work down.

Worth saying plainly, because some local shops imply otherwise: nothing about the work requires you to be in the city. The local advantages listed above are genuine advantages, and they are additions rather than prerequisites.

Premium Only. No Budget Tier.

SyncDS is a premium-only practice. There is no entry-level offering, no package ladder and no volume model, in Winnipeg or anywhere else. Every engagement is custom-quoted against what an audit finds, which means the number comes after the diagnosis rather than off a rate card.

Which also means we say no. A business that needs a cheap site quickly is better served somewhere else, and hearing that in week one is worth more than hearing it in month three. The eligibility check exists to give that answer fast.

The person who scopes it is the person who builds it. Jay Hall owns the outcome on every engagement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is SyncDS located in Winnipeg?

SyncDS is at 264 Portage Avenue, Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3C 0B6, in the downtown core, with a photo, video and podcast studio on site. The phone number is (431) 341-0341.

Do you meet Winnipeg clients in person?

Yes. Scoping sessions and production days happen at the Portage Avenue office when a project warrants it, and most rebuilds do. Ongoing work runs remotely once the scope is set, because that is faster for everyone than standing meetings.

Do you only work with Winnipeg businesses?

No. SyncDS is based in Winnipeg and works with clients across Canada and any English-speaking country. Local clients get the studio and the in-person option, and everything else is identical.

Can you handle photo and video production, or do I need a separate vendor?

Production runs in-house from the studio at the office, so footage, editing and the build sit inside one scope. Bringing a separate production vendor into a web build is where most timelines break.

Who actually does the work on a Winnipeg project?

Jay Hall, the founder, scopes the work, does the work and owns the outcome. There is no account management layer and no handoff to a junior team after the sales conversation.

Do you build applications for Winnipeg businesses, or only websites?

Both. App builds are a separate discipline from website builds, covering purpose-built mobile and web applications shipped to the stores. Which one a project needs is settled during the audit rather than assumed at the start.

What does a Winnipeg engagement cost?

Every engagement is custom-quoted after an audit, so there is no rate card and no package pricing to quote here. SyncDS is premium-only with no budget tier, and the eligibility check exists so nobody spends a discovery call finding that out.

How does a Winnipeg engagement start?

It starts with the eligibility check, then a discovery call, then an audit that sets the scope. Nothing gets quoted before the audit, because a quote written before the diagnosis is a guess.
