Work done right.
Built around your needs.

A Vancouver-based web developer helping individuals and small businesses bring their websites to life.

I’m Ian,

a web developer based in Vancouver, BC. I build websites for individuals and small businesses who want something practical, reliable, and easy to navigate.

Before getting into web development, I spent years working in the automotive trades. That background shaped how I approach my work—paying attention to details, communicating clearly, and taking pride in doing things properly from start to finish.

Outside of work, I like staying active and getting outdoors with my dog and friends. I'm into music, movies, video games, and technology, and I play a range of sports—mainly hockey, along with snowboarding, volleyball, basketball, and golf.

Where My Standards Come From

Red Seal LogoRed Seal Certified Technician

Working in the automotive trades shaped how I approach work. Precision matters. Details matter. Things need to function properly—not just look good on the surface.

That mindset carried over naturally into web development. Diagnosing issues, thinking through solutions, and building things carefully the first time translates directly into how I structure and build websites.

It’s about discipline, responsibility, and building trust through consistency—whether that’s under the hood or in code.

Building Websites

I didn’t set out to become a web developer. It started as curiosity and quickly turned into something I genuinely enjoy. I’ve always been interested in how things work, and building websites felt like a natural extension of that.

I build focused websites that are fast, well-structured, and easy to navigate. No extra fluff, just a thoughtful layout and performance built in from the start.

The mindset is the same: understand the goal, think it through, and build it properly the first time.
