Custom web design for small businesses across Canada.

Four to six weeks from kickoff to launch for a full custom site. A single landing page is faster. The code is rarely the slow part. What decides the timeline is how fast I get the things only you have: your service list, your prices, your photos, and access to your domain and Google Business Profile. Businesses that have that ready tend to land at four weeks. Businesses still deciding what to say tend to land at six or later. There is no queue either. Your project is not passed to a junior, so the weeks in the middle are build time, not waiting time.

No. I'm in Lake Country, BC, and most of the work happens over calls, screen shares, and texts anyway. You see the design before you commit, check it on your own phone, and send changes by text or email. You never have to drive anywhere or sit in a meeting room. The one thing being local changes is an in-person photo shoot, and there is a way around that too (see the photo question below).

I'm on Pacific time. For a business in Ontario or Quebec that means I'm three hours behind you, and four or five for the Atlantic provinces. In practice it rarely matters. Calls get booked in the overlap, usually late morning or early afternoon for me, which is afternoon for you. Everything else runs on text and email, which does not care what time zone you are in. You can book a call at a time that works for you on the booking page, or text 604-817-1069.

The design, the hand-coded build, and the copy. SEO set up from day one, aimed at the city or region you actually sell to. Structured data so Google and AI tools read your business correctly. Contact forms, your Google Business Profile sorted out properly, and a site that loads fast on a phone. You sign off before anything goes live. Hosting and edits after launch are the care plan, $79 to $249 a month. Ads and ongoing SEO are separate monthly services if you want them: ads from $750 a month plus a $500 setup, SEO and AI search $750 to $1,900 a month.

You do. There is no lock-in and no proprietary editor holding the design hostage. A Wix or Squarespace site only exists as long as the subscription does, and leaving means rebuilding. A hand-coded site is yours to keep and yours to move. Your domain should be in your name too. If it is registered to a previous developer, say so on the first call and we will work out how to move it. Same goes for your Google Business Profile, which often turns out to be attached to an old agency.

Photos are decided per project. Most clients send me their own, and I edit them for the site. If you are in the Okanagan, I can come shoot on my iPhone, or set up a professional photo or film shoot. If you are somewhere else in Canada, we use your own photos, or arrange a shoot with a local photographer for that job, quoted separately. Either way the site uses real photos of your business, not stock.
