Yep, I’m the guy who answers your email. A quick note from Ian
“You’re trusting me with how people see your business. I don’t take that lightly.”
I’m not an account manager selling work somebody else will do. I design the site, build it, tune the SEO, run the server, and stick around after launch.
You get one person who knows the whole thing and actually picks up when you need help.

your code, content, and data
Sites people trust in the first three seconds.
Custom design built around your customers and your offer, no recycled templates, no page-builder bloat. Just a site that looks like the best version of your business.
Custom builds, or hand-coded WordPress themes.
Hand-built on modern, lightweight foundations, or a custom WordPress theme coded from scratch when that fits better. No page-builder bloat, no plugin house of cards. It loads in under a second and passes every Core Web Vital.
Be the answer, on Google, and inside ChatGPT.
Technical SEO, local search, and content that ranks, plus AI search optimization so you show up in Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity. Measured against revenue, not vanity metrics.
Wherever your customers are
I work directly with businesses across Canada and the US. When local context matters, I build it from real places, real work, and real customer language, not a pile of copy-pasted city pages.
Real local SEO experience across Hamilton, Niagara, Brantford, Burlington, and the towns in between.

Most businesses end up with a designer, a developer, a hosting company, and an SEO vendor who have never spoken to each other. When something breaks, they point at each other and you pay for the meeting.
Here, every layer is mine. One person, one number, zero finger-pointing.

Custom design built around your customers and your offer.

LiteSpeed and Apache I build and run myself. Nothing outsourced.

SEO plus visibility in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI Overviews.
05 · Tend
Updates, backups, and steady optimization, month after month.
Four phases, no mystery. You always know what I'm doing, why, and what it's moving.
I map where you stand today: speed, rankings, and the gaps your competitors are filling and you aren't.
Design and development in tight loops, with you in the room. You see it take shape, not a big reveal at the end.
Once the site ships, I optimize: content, technical fixes, and Google Business Profile, until you're on page one.
Search rewards consistency. A monthly care plan keeps the site fast, fresh, and climbing.
