Let’s Make Things Simple
I can’t wait to work with you and bring your ideas to the web. Before we get started, let me share a bit about myself…
How It All Started
I grew up in Pembroke Ontario; a small town located about an hour and a half northwest of Ottawa. I was an average early 80’s kid! Rollin’ down the street on my Big Wheel (this wasn’t actually MY Big Wheel…I just rented it for the photoshoot).
At this point my social network was made up of me, my sister and my parents!
Working with People
When I eventually left my home town it was to spend 4 years training to be a pastor. And from 2001 until 2019 that’s what I did! (and still do!) I naturally found myself working around technology and started building and maintaining websites and social media accounts. I think even from the beginning I knew that websites were tools meant to connect people. Also, we can totally add fun pictures like this one to your website! People LOVE IT! (Hahaha – just kidding!)
The Authentic Life
I can’t (and won’t) pretend to be someone I’m not. I like wearing goofy glasses and convincing my dad to wear them too! I like to laugh and have fun. I like to sing and play piano. I like to listen to music and have coffee dates with my wife. I like sci-fi and action movies, but I also like musicals and will cry if the moment requires that response. There is no other path for me then to be my authentic self.
Reach for the Stars
I believe that the most valuable item that we have is time. Money is nice, but can be lost as quick as it’s found. Fame may seem nice, but it’s fleeting – if you live for the praise you may die by the criticsm.
One of my favourite speeches was given by Jim Carey. He was speeking about his dad who had settled for a mediocre job instead of pursuing his dream to be a comedian. As an accountant his dad worked hard for someone else because he thought that’s what the responsible thing was. Then, his dad got fired – which prompted Jim to say, ‘You can fail at what you don’t want. You might as well take a chance on doing what you love.”
My greatest joy is helping people work on the things that they love and seeing them succeed. If you’d like to an authentic person sharing their gift with the world, we might be a good fit!
My job is to help you connect with your audience so you can help them change their lives!
“How exactly can you help me?”
I’ll work with you to build a website that showcases what you have to offer your clients. There are a lot of things to consider when building a website and while there are some ‘free’ website building software options, they tend to end up costing more in the long run. We’ll go over your goals and look at your website for what it is: a tool to help you connect with and convert your customers!
There are three main ways I can help you:
Web Design
You don’t have to struggle with everything needed to get your website up and running. I’ll work with you to determine the style and substance of your project, and help you bring your ideas to the people who need to hear them most.
Web Care
A critical par of having a website is maintaining all that goes into it. I’ll work with you to make sure your website is optimized, secure and up-to-date. Spending time crafting and presenting the right message doesn’t mean much if your site ends up being buggy! I’ll help you take care of the tech, so you can run your business!
Web Growth
Your site is built and being maintained – now is just the beginning! Keep a website alive means ongoing support and strategy to make sure you’re growing with your audience. I have many tools to help you grow your online presence and deliver exactly what your audience is looking for!
