Business website
Pemberton, BC
A six-page site for a cedar log country house on Ivey Lake near Pemberton, rented only as a whole house, with its Vrbo calendar on the site and both ways to book beside it.
Business website
Nelson, BC
A one-page site for a jeweller on Baker Street in Nelson, built around the five jewellers who have kept the shop since 1896, with its own pieces and a free custom design consultation.
Landing page
How it works.
Seven steps, from your free preview to your first month. A landing page is live within 1 week and a business website within 2 weeks, counted from the day your start kit is complete.
-
The top of your new homepage, one screen at laptop and phone sizes, sent with the price. Nothing to prepare.
-
If you like the preview, a short proposal with the scope and the price. A 25% deposit starts the build. If you don't like it, you pay nothing and that's it.
-
Domain access, your words, photos and accounts, done on your project page. The clock starts the day it's complete.
On your project page -
The whole site, built: 3 business days for a landing page, 5 for a business website.
-
Two rounds of changes, sent from your project page, each back to you within two business days (one business day for a landing page).
On your project page -
Live on your domain, with your dashboard login and the walkthrough video. The balance is due that day.
-
Changes and monitoring are free. At 30 days, your 30-day report and the care plan choice.
What clients say.
Every review on Google is five stars. Here are five of them, word for word, beside the site each client got.
★★★★★
Working with Owen on the Maid in Victoria website was honestly one of the best business decisions we've made.
From the very beginning, he really took the time to understand not just what we wanted the site to look like — but how we wanted our brand to feel. He was incredibly patient with all of our ideas (and changes), super responsive, and genuinely cared about getting every detail right.

Hi, I'm Owen.
I design and build every OBdesign site myself, and I'm the person you talk to from the first message to long after launch.
I grew up on Salt Spring Island and I'm in my fourth year of software engineering at the University of Victoria. Before OBdesign I ran a painting business with a crew of four across Salt Spring and Victoria, so I know how little time a small business leaves for its website.
That's why every site is built to run without me. It's custom-coded, not a template. It comes with a dashboard you can edit from your phone, and I host it for free. When you do need me, you get me, not a support queue.
On the Island, I'm happy to meet in person. Or call me at 250-222-6054.
Questions.
The five every business owner asks first. Anything else? Just ask.

Tell me about your business through the contact form and I'll build the preview from what's already public (your current site, socials, photos and reviews): one screen, the top of your new homepage, at laptop and phone sizes. It's usually ready within a week, and there's nothing to prepare. It comes with the price. If you like it, you get a short proposal, and a 25% deposit starts the build, with the balance at launch. If you don't like the preview, you pay nothing and that's it.

Business websites start at $1,500, and a landing page is $750. Online booking and shops start at $3,500, and custom web applications at $5,000. Every price and term is on the services page.
-
A landing page is live within 1 week and a business website within 2 weeks, counted from the day your start kit is complete. The start kit is your domain, words, photos and accounts, done on your project page. Days a round of changes waits with you aren't counted.
-
Yes. Every website comes with a dashboard where you change your own words and photos and post to your blog, and a walkthrough video that shows you how to change anything, step by step.
-
Hosting is free, always, and changes and monitoring are free in your first month. From the second month, the care plan gives you unlimited small changes to your site and same-day replies for $39 a month or $390 a year, or you can say no to it and run the site yourself from your dashboard for nothing.
Tell me about your business.
I'll build a free preview of the top of your new homepage from what's already public, usually within a week, and send it with the price. Nothing to prepare, and no obligation to go ahead.
