  • I've had the pleasure of working with Doug for a couple years, and three things that come to mind are: his dedication to strategy, the web design that he provides, as well as his digital marketing. When it comes to strategy, he'll reverse engineer what your goals are, and then show you how he can help. And he'll go through every single step, send you informational videos, etc. So it's not just him telling you what you need to do, but he'll also educate you along the way, which I appreciate.

Web design in Elliot Lake

A former mining town with a second act.

Elliot Lake was built around uranium mining, which ran here for about 40 years. Since the mines closed it has become known as a retirement community, with lakes and trails that draw visitors too. New residents keep renovators and service trades busy, and the lakes bring campers, anglers and cottagers. People who are new to town don't know who to call, so they search.

I'm based in Stony Plain, Alberta, and build websites for trades and owner-run businesses across Canada. For an Elliot Lake business, the goal is a site that puts you in front of newcomers and visitors, with real work and reviews that make the choice easy.

FAQ

Questions Elliot Lake business owners ask.

How do I reach people who are new to town?

New residents search before they ask anyone. A site with clear services, real photos and reviews is how they find you first.

Can an Alberta web designer work with an Ontario business?

Yes. The work runs by phone, video and email, with sign-offs at each stage, so an Ontario business gets exactly the same process as one down the road from me.

What does a website cost?

From $2,999 for a one-time build. What it comes to depends on the size of the site and how much custom functionality, writing and strategy it needs. You get a final number before anything starts.

Do you only work with Elliot Lake businesses?

No. I work with trades and owner-run businesses across Alberta and beyond. Most of the work is remote, so it runs the same way wherever you are.
