Not sure which fits?

Most projects don't map perfectly to a package.

Every business is a bit different. Maybe you need a landing page now and an online shop later. Maybe you're not sure whether what you need is a website or an application. If none of these quite fit, just reach out. I'm happy to talk through what actually makes sense.

Prefer a platform like Squarespace or Wix? I can build on the platform of your choice. Just reach out for a quote.

Book a call

Common ones I hear

  • "I think I need something custom built, but I'm not sure what to call it"
  • "I just need to be findable online, nothing too complicated"
  • "I'm between two of these packages and can't decide"
  • "I have a budget in mind. What's possible?"
After launch

Hosting is free. The care plan is your call.

Every site I build is hosted on my account at no cost, and any changes in the first month are on me. After that, the care plan keeps your site current and monitored, or you can run it yourself from your dashboard.

How the monitoring works

What it costs after launch

  • Hosting Free, always
  • Changes and monitoring in your first month Free
  • Care plan, from month two $39 a monthor $390 a year Changes up to an hour a month, same-day replies, monitoring twice a month with any fixes covered, and your site's numbers every month (visits, calls, messages). Cancel anytime.
  • Or run it yourself $0 Edit it in your dashboard. Anything bigger is quoted one-off.

You run it.
I host it.

Every package comes with an editing dashboard and free hosting. Here's what that looks like once your site is live.

Charlie's Excavating's dashboard, with the homepage intro they rewrote themselves the day the site went live.

Change it yourself, without calling anyone.

  1. Log in at yoursite.ca/keystatic with your email. No developer account, no code.
  2. Change what you need. Your pages are listed section by section, in the same order they appear on the site.
  3. Press Save. The live site updates in about a minute.

You can change

  • Headlines and text
  • Photos
  • Prices and hours
  • Projects, posts and news

Stays locked

  • Layout
  • Fonts and colours
  • Spacing

So a late-night edit can't break the design.

Charlie's Excavating made their first edit the day the site went live. It published without me touching anything.

Hosting's on me.

No hosting bill

Your site runs on my hosting account at no cost to you, for as long as you want it there. There's no hosting plan to pick and nothing to renew.

No lock-in

If you ever want full control, I'll move the site to your own account and hand over the code. Hosting it yourself runs about $20 a month with the host.

Yours from day one

  • Your domainRegistered in your name, not mine.
  • Your contentEditable any time from your dashboard.
  • A recorded walkthroughA short video tour of your dashboard, yours to keep.
  • A month of free editsAny changes or fixes in the first month after launch are on me.

Yours whenever you ask

  • The codeThe full source of your site, handed over on GitHub.
  • The hostingThe site moved onto your own account, domain and all.

If I'm ever not around

You still have everything. The domain is already in your name, and the code and hosting move straight to you. Your site doesn't depend on me to keep running.

Free hosting covers sites I build; a site on Squarespace, Wix or Shopify stays on that platform's own plan. A very photo-heavy site, like a large shop, can need a $10/month image plan for the dashboard, and if yours would, you'll know before the build starts.

I keep watch.

On the care plan, your site is monitored twice a month. Eight checks run, and if one fails, I hear about it before you do.

A month, with the care plan

If a check fails, the email comes to me, not you, and the fix is part of the plan. Changes are covered too, up to an hour a month.

  • The email the monitoring sends Owen after a check: two new problems since the last check, each with what to do about it.

    The email I get. Only when something changed, and it says what to do about it.

  • A monthly monitoring report for Harbour and Hearth Bakery: up at one of two checks, what happened, and everything that was watched.

    A report each month. Your site's checks in plain words. Ask and it's yours.

The pictures are from the live demo, which runs on invented businesses. Real dashboards are private.

For updates, fixes and ongoing maintenance. You only pay for the time it takes, and for a bigger job I'll give you a fixed quote before I start.

Tell me what needs fixing

Needs replacing rather than fixing? That's a new website: see the packages.

“Since taking on managing our website, Owen has proved to be invaluable, knowledgeable, organized, and personable. He's solved some long-standing issues and he keeps us up-to-date with his actions and responses to our questions.”

Send someone
my way.

If you send me someone who goes ahead with a website, I'll send you a thank-you worth 5% of the project price: $75 on a $1,500 site, by e-transfer as soon as they book. You don't need to be a client, and it doesn't cost them anything extra.

How referrals work

Common questions.

Anything else on your mind? Just ask.

Get a free preview

Tell me about your business through the contact form and I'll build a real preview of your new homepage from what's already public: your current site, socials, photos and reviews. Usually within a week, nothing to prepare, no obligation. If you love the direction, sites start at $750 and the preview becomes the foundation of the real build.

Landing Pages typically go live within a week. Business Websites usually take two to three weeks. Custom applications are scoped individually, so the timeline comes with the quote. In every case the biggest variable is feedback speed. The faster you review, the faster we ship.

Not much. A rough idea of what you need, any existing branding or logo files, and the content you want on the site (or a willingness to write it together). I'll walk you through everything else on the first call.

No. I work remotely with clients across BC and beyond. Most projects are handled entirely over email and video calls. Being local is a bonus, not a requirement.

Yes. Every site comes with an editing dashboard where you change your own text, photos and prices without touching code. I record a walkthrough video at handoff so you know where everything is.

Changes and fixes are free for the first month after launch. After that, the care plan covers changes up to an hour a month, with same-day replies, for $39 a month or $390 a year. You can say no to it: most things you can change yourself in the dashboard, and anything bigger I quote one-off at a flat rate.

25% deposit to book your spot, and the rest on launch day. I'll send a proper invoice. Hosting is on me and edits are free for the first month. After that, the care plan is $39 a month or $390 a year, and you can say no to it.

Yes, and for sites I build it's free. I host them on my own account, so there's no monthly hosting bill. If you ever want full control, I'll move it to your own account (about $20 a month with the host) and hand everything over. Sites on Squarespace, Wix or Shopify stay on that platform's own plan.
