I build websites for builders, renovators and excavation contractors: your jobs in a gallery you add to from your phone, a quote form that lands in your inbox, and a number customers can tap to call.
[Trades sites from $1,500]
Word of mouth
Most trades work comes from people who already know your name: a past client, a neighbour, another trade on the same job. Before they pick up the phone, they search that name.
What comes up is their first look at your work. A site with your own jobs on it, the work you take on, the towns you cover and a number they can tap answers the first questions before the first call.
The average home renovation permit in BC
$114,700
August 2025 to July 2026. That's a lot of money to hand to a builder you haven't looked up.

Two builders and an excavating company on Salt Spring Island, each on a page of its own site, the way their customers see it on a phone and a laptop.
Builder Salt Spring Island
A builder's first website, with every project in its own gallery, so a customer can walk through one build from start to finish.
On this page
Excavation and septic Salt Spring Island
Septic and excavation are different calls, so the site answers both, and every photo on it is one of their own jobs.

Custom homes Salt Spring Island
Custom homes and renovations sorted the way builders think about them, by type and place, with the BC Housing builder licence on every page.

Trades sites start at $1,500, and the preview is free.
From your first message to a site you run yourself, in one to three weeks. The price comes with your free preview, and it's fixed before the build starts.
A short message through the contact form: who you are, what you do, and what you have now. Nothing to prepare.
I build the top of your new homepage, one screen at laptop and phone sizes, from what's already public about your business. It comes with the price. No meeting needed, and nothing to prepare.
If you like the preview, you get a short proposal with the scope, the timeline and a fixed price, and a 25% deposit books the build. If you don't like the preview, you pay nothing and that's it.
I finish the build with your feedback along the way, launch with you, and hand off a recorded walkthrough plus a month of free edits.
One price, fixed before I start, on the same terms your proposal would carry.
Already have a site you're happy with? The Google & AI setup gets it found by Google and AI, $500, one time. See what it includes
Know another contractor who needs a website? Send them my way. When they go ahead, I'll send you a thank-you worth 5% of the project price. How referrals work
Every review on Google is five stars. Here are eleven of them, word for word, beside the site each client got.
We worked with Owen to build our business website, and the entire experience was outstanding from start to finish.
The process was seamless, his communication was excellent, and the attention to detail he put into every aspect of the site was exceptional. He made everything easy and delivered a website that exceeded our expectations.

Not much. A short message to start, then the photos you have and a list of the jobs you want shown. I write the first draft of every page from that and from what's already public about your business, and you review it: two rounds of changes are part of the price. A trades site usually takes two to three weeks, and the biggest variable is how quickly feedback comes back.
Start with what you have. Phone photos from the job are fine: Charlie's Excavating's site is built from photos taken on their phones at the end of the day. New ones go up from your phone whenever you have them, so the gallery grows with the work.
Yes. The domain is registered in your name. The code and the hosting move to your own account whenever you ask, and hosting it yourself runs about $20 a month. Your site doesn't depend on me to keep running.
Yes. Log in at yoursite.ca/keystatic with your email, add a project or change a line, add its photos one at a time, and press save. The live site updates in about a minute. Charlie's Excavating made their first edit themselves, and it published without me touching anything.
Nobody can promise a ranking, and I won't. What I do: build it fast, put your services and the towns you cover on the page and in the data search engines read, and link your Google Business Profile, or set one up with you. The map results mostly come down to that profile: how close you are, how well it matches the search, and your reviews.
No. I'm in Victoria and grew up on Salt Spring, and I build for trades anywhere in BC. Most of the work happens over email and a call or two, so distance doesn't change much.
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.
