Most of the websites I build use WordPress — a flexible platform that makes it easy to manage your content, grow your site over time, and stay in control without needing a developer for every small change.
Your website should do more than “exist.” It should load quickly, explain what you do clearly, and make it easy for customers to get in touch or buy from you. Whether you’re launching your first site or replacing an outdated one, I focus on building something that actually works for your business.

Nanaimo is one of the fastest-growing cities in Canada, with steady growth among residents aged 25 to 44 driven by jobs, lifestyle, and easy ferry access to Vancouver and Victoria. That growth shows up downtown, where three distinct business districts sit close together: the Old City Quarter’s heritage shops and dining, the Waterfront District along the Harbourfront Walkway, and the Arts District in the city core. Add in the steady flow of business tied to Vancouver Island University and the Departure Bay and Duke Point ferry terminals, and Nanaimo businesses are competing for customers who are increasingly finding them online first.
