Selected work

Projects I'm
proud of.

Custom websites I've built for real businesses across Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands and the rest of BC, and a few sites I look after.

New websites

Built from scratch.

Sixteen sites, each designed for its business and live on its own domain, run by its owner.

Every price and term
