Web design / Salt Spring Island, BC

Custom web design,
built on Salt Spring.

I grew up on Salt Spring Island, and I build custom websites for the businesses that make this island run.

The local option

grew up here.

Most island businesses that want a website end up hiring an agency they never meet. I'm the other option. I grew up here, my family is still here, and I'm back on the island often, so we can sit down over a coffee in Ganges, look at your business together, and talk through what a site should actually do for you.

A lot of my island clients ran for years on reputation and word of mouth alone: no website, or one that hadn't been touched in a decade. That works until a visitor searches for you and finds nothing. My job is closing that gap with a fast, secure, custom-built site you can update yourself from your phone.

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.
