We build the site,
get it found, and make it grow.
How we work
Let's craft your story, wherever it will take you.
We're a Victoria, BC studio working with businesses across Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland. Every engagement follows the same arc: build a site that works, get it found by the people searching for you, then add the systems that let you grow without more admin. Each stage is built on the last, and every site we build is optimized for search from day one.
Featured Work
Whetham's Books
Whetham’s Books is a Victoria bookkeeping and tax practice that needed its first website. We built one that explains clearly what the practice offers, attracts the right local clients, and screens out poor fits before the first call.
Nik Poli
Nik Poli is a Calgary country artist who had outgrown his first website. His new site is built from scratch to grow with each release. Fans can find the next show and join his mailing list, and venues and press get what they need to book him.
Stop 2030 Barclay
Stop 2030 Barclay is a Vancouver community campaign responding to a proposed rezoning. We built a website that explains a complicated issue in plain language and makes it easy for supporters to act, from writing to City Council to spreading the word.

Insights & Ideas
What a Bookkeeper Actually Needs From Their First Website
Most first websites are business cards that happen to live on the internet. In this case study, I break down what I built for a Victoria bookkeeper instead: four pages, local-first SEO, structured data, and analytics, and why the site's real job is filtering leads before the call.
The Quiet Reshaping of Web Design & Development in the AI Economy
Generative AI isn’t replacing web designers and developers; it’s reshaping where the value sits, shifting more work toward strategy, systems, and integration. As clients use AI for first drafts, the real edge is still human judgment across infrastructure, performance, security, and launch accountability.
SEO in 2026: AI Overviews, Local SEO & What Still Works
SEO in 2026 isn’t just about rankings; it’s about earning visibility inside AI Overviews and generative answers and still nailing the fundamentals.

FAQ
Common Questions
Most projects take 4-8 weeks from kickoff to launch, depending on complexity. We'll provide a detailed timeline during our initial consultation.
Pricing varies based on project scope and requirements. I offer custom quotes after understanding your needs through an initial no-cost consultation. Contact me today to schedule yours.
Yes! I offer maintenance packages to keep your site secure, updated, and performing optimally after launch.
I use modern, proven technologies, including page builders like WordPress, Wix, and Squarespace, with the most modern plugins for maximum customization. Additionally, I can create fully-custom projects using React, TypeScript, and cloud-based infrastructure for scalable, maintainable solutions.
I handle UX/UI design, responsive build, basic on‑page SEO (titles, metas, H1/H2, alt text), Core Web Vitals tuning, and a guided handover with training. If you need copywriting, brand consulting, or graphic work done as well, I can add those additionally to the project scope.
For website and software projects, I provide a fixed‑scope quote after a no-cost consultation with two revision rounds per major phase (design & build). If the scope changes throughout the project, I’ll confirm any add‑ons before work continues, so no surprises.
Most local SEO campaigns for businesses begin to show noticeable ranking improvements within 3–6 months. The exact timeline depends on factors such as your industry's competitiveness, your website's current health, and the speed of implementation. For higher-competition keywords (like “restaurants near me” or “music events this weekend”), it may take 6–12 months to reach page-one positions.
