What I do

Six services, one person who knows your site

Each service can stand alone or stack with others. Most clients start with a website build and hosting, then add SEO and content as they grow.

Web Design

Hand-built websites tailored to your business — not a template someone else is using too. Clean, fast, and designed to get people to call you, book with you, or walk through your door.

  • Custom design matched to your brand
  • Mobile-first, fast-loading pages
  • Contact forms and booking integrations
  • Google Maps, hours, and local business markup
  • Revisions until you're happy — no clock running

Managed Hosting

Your site runs on managed hosting with daily backups, automatic updates, security monitoring, and SSL — all handled without you lifting a finger. I watch it so you don't have to.

  • Daily off-site backups
  • WordPress core, theme & plugin updates
  • SSL certificate — installed and renewed
  • Uptime monitoring with same-day response

Local SEO

Get found when someone in Duncan, Victoria, or Nanaimo searches for what you do. I set up and tune everything that determines where Google puts you — no guesswork, no jargon.

  • Google Business Profile setup and optimisation
  • Local keyword targeting for your city
  • On-page SEO — titles, headings, schema markup
  • Citation building and directory listings
  • Monthly plain-English ranking reports

Content Writing

Page copy, service descriptions, and blog posts written for real people — not keyword-stuffed filler. Your site should sound like you, and it should give Google something worth ranking.

  • Homepage and service page copy
  • About page that actually converts
  • Blog posts targeting local search terms
  • Written to match your tone of voice
  • SEO-structured without being robotic

Google Workspace

Trade your gmail.com address for hello@yourbusiness.ca. I set up Google Workspace so you get professional email, Google Drive, and Calendar — all working on your domain from day one.

  • Domain-based email (you@yourbusiness.ca)
  • DNS records configured correctly
  • Google Drive and shared calendars set up
  • Migration of existing emails if needed
  • Walk-through so your team knows how to use it
Get professional email

Landing Pages

A single-purpose page for a campaign, a product launch, or a promotion. Fast to build, focused on one action, and easy to hand off to Google Ads or social media without touching your main site.

  • One focused goal — one clear call to action
  • Optimised for Google Ads Quality Score
  • A/B friendly — swap headline or offer easily
  • Lead capture form with email notification
  • Deployed in 3–5 business days
Request a landing page

One person who actually knows your site.

No support tickets. No rotating help desk agents. When you message me about your site, I already know what it runs, what plugins you're using, and when you last updated anything. That context matters.

How it works

From first message to live site

A straightforward process — no proposals that take two weeks, no onboarding sessions, no surprises.

We talk

Tell me about your business, your current site (or lack of one), and what you actually need. I'll ask the right questions and give you an honest take.

I send a quote

A plain-English breakdown of what I'll build, what it costs, and how long it takes. No retainer surprises, no scope creep. Fixed price unless we change direction together.

I build it

Design, content, hosting setup, forms, maps, SEO basics — I handle every layer. You see a preview before anything goes live and get revisions until it's right.

I look after it

Updates, backups, security, and monitoring run in the background. When something needs attention I handle it — you hear about it after it's fixed, not before.

Why not just DIY?

What you get that Squarespace doesn't

Website builders are fine for getting something up fast. They're not designed for businesses that need their site to actually work for them long-term.
