01 / SERVICES

What I build for Calgary businesses.

Each engagement starts with a business outcome, not a stack of features. The result should either win work, save time, improve a customer experience or make an important operation more reliable.

01

Business websites

Responsive, accessible websites with clear positioning, useful calls to action, technical SEO, analytics and a clean launch.

From $500 CAD
02

Custom web applications

Portals, dashboards, booking systems, ecommerce workflows and internal tools built around the way your organization actually works.

From $7,500 CAD
03

Automation and integrations

API connections, scheduled work, notifications, reporting pipelines and data movement that replace manual copying and follow-up.

From $2,000 CAD
04

AI integration

Focused AI-assisted workflows with human review, useful boundaries and measurement—without pretending every business problem needs a chatbot.

Scoped after discovery
05

Website repairs and modernization

Performance, accessibility, analytics, search visibility, broken workflows and inherited code that needs a responsible path forward.

Quoted to the problem
06

Maintenance and support

Ongoing fixes, improvements, content changes and technical ownership after launch when you need a developer who already knows the system.

Monthly or project-based

02 / PROOF OF WORK

Public systems, client work and real operating constraints.

My selected work includes a live robotics competition platform for schedules, judging, rankings and public displays; a Calgary client website and booking-request flow for The Wandering Picnic; and Millsberry Reborn, a large digital-preservation project reconstructing a discontinued virtual world.

03 / PROCESS

A direct route from problem to launch.

No account-manager relay. You speak with the developer who will scope, build, test and explain the work.

  1. 01

    Clarify

    Define the current problem, desired outcome, users, constraints and what success will look like.

  2. 02

    Scope

    Choose the smallest responsible release, with a clear price, delivery plan and ownership.

  3. 03

    Build and test

    Review progress in working software and test the real workflow, including failure cases.

  4. 04

    Launch and hand off

    Deploy, verify, document the important parts and agree on support only if it is useful.

04 / CALGARY + REMOTE

Local context, remote-friendly delivery.

I’m based in Calgary, Alberta and work with local organizations as well as remote clients across Canada. Local work can include in-person discovery when useful; the build itself stays documented and easy to review online.

I grew up in Crapaud, Prince Edward Island and built my career through community technology, software, servers and Skills Canada robotics. That full background is documented in my PEI-to-Calgary story.

05 / COMMON QUESTIONS

Before you contact me.

How much does a website cost?

A focused one-page starter website begins at $500 CAD. A larger lead-generation business website begins at $2,500 CAD. The quote depends on content, design, integrations and the number of distinct pages or workflows.

Do you only work with Calgary clients?

No. I’m based in Calgary and work remotely across Canada. Most discovery, reviews and handoff can happen online.

Can you improve an existing website or application?

Yes. I can diagnose performance, accessibility, search visibility, analytics, integrations and code problems, then propose a contained repair or modernization plan.

Will I own the website or software?

For normal client projects, the delivered code and content are yours. Any third-party services or open-source components are identified so there are no hidden platform assumptions.

Can you guarantee a number-one Google ranking?

No responsible developer or SEO can guarantee a ranking. I can build a strong technical foundation, useful service content, accurate structured data and measurement, then improve the site using real search data over time.
