If you have an outdated site you've been putting off getting redone — or no site at all — I'd be happy to help.

About me
Hi, I'm Owen.
I'm a software engineering student at the University of Victoria and the founder of OBdesign, where I build modern, responsive websites for small businesses and local brands.
I started OBdesign because I enjoy the full process of turning an idea into something real: understanding what a business needs, designing a clean user experience, building the site, and making sure it works properly after launch.
Most of my work is focused on front-end development — Webflow, custom HTML, CSS, and JavaScript — and helping clients create websites that are clear, reliable, and easy to manage.
Because I work directly with each client, communication is a big part of how I approach projects. I like keeping the process straightforward, honest, and practical so the final site actually supports the business behind it.
Based on Salt Spring Island — working with clients across Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands, and the Lower Mainland.
Client feedback
What clients say.
★★★★★
Working with Owen on the Maid in Victoria website was honestly one of the best business decisions we've made.
He was incredibly patient with all of our ideas and changes, and genuinely cared about getting every detail right. We've already had clients comment on how seamless and polished the experience is.

Projects start at $750 for a Landing Page and $1,500 for a full custom site. The exact price depends on scope — I'll give you a fixed quote after a free discovery call.
-
A Landing Page takes about a week. Starter sites run 2 weeks, Standard sites 3–4 weeks, and Premium builds 4–6 weeks. Timeline depends on how quickly feedback comes back.
-
Yes, if your project includes a CMS. I also record a walkthrough video at handoff so you know exactly how to make updates yourself.
-
Absolutely. I work remotely with clients across BC and beyond. Most of the project happens over video calls and shared docs anyway.
-
Every project includes a 30-day warranty for bugs. For custom sites I build, hosting is free — I host them on my own account at no cost to you — and any future updates are quoted one-off, so there are no monthly fees.
