Here is a listing of the some of the simple websites I have designed. Please note that although they share a similar structure, they are each quite unique in their own way.

Harrison Hot Springs Marina

Although I have never met Warren from Harrison Hot Springs Marina, he easily communicated to me what he was wanting in a website and a couple of weeks later it was launched! His many photos of the gorgeous mountain backdrop by his marina made beautful header images - again this was one of those websites that flew together quite easily. If you are in the Vancouver area in February - be sure to visit their booth in the Vancouver Boat Show!

Driving For Life Academy

Chris Schulz wanted to redesign his driving academy website. He came to Simple Sites because he wanted a clean, simple look. It was such a delight working with someone who was so well organized - his website practically designed itself! The Driving For Life Academy website was launched mid December 2011.

Travel Croatia

George Kos was born in Croatia and loves nothing more than sharing his beautiful birth country with others. He has created a fabulous website that highlights many of the cities and don't-miss sights of Croatia. Each year he takes a small group of lucky tourists on an engaging tour of Croatia - this is not your average tour and George is definately not your avaerage tour guide! His website was carefully crafted to display the beauty of Croatia using photos as well as videos. Travel C roatia was launched mid December 2011.

Fort Machine Works

Fort Machine Works is based in Fort St. James. They wanted a redesign of their website. It was lovely working with people who knew exactly what they wanted. This website went together very smoothly and they have a website that reflects who they are and what they do, very simply. This website launched in December, 2011.

Nia In The North

Rosy has brought Nia to the North! Nia is sensory based movement that leads to health, wellness and fitness. Rosy wanted a website that was very simple, yet effective - much like Nia movement itself. Because Nia is SO much more than just dancing barefoot to soul-stirring music, Rosy also wanted a place on her website to explain her philosophy and her musings. It was a lot of fun making this website!

Sassafras Savouries Cafe and Catering Company

April from Sassafras Savouries wanted to have an updated website that would feature some of her mouthwatering dishes. We made each page header feature a different delicious recipe. We also created a special section for April's catering customers who can now easily access her different menus for business meetings, those very special occasions and gatherings of all sorts. If you haven't had the opportunity to have breakfast, brunch or lunch at Sassafras Savouries yet, you are missing a super treat!

RN Consultants

RN-Consultants was created to help health care professionals and organizations move more easily through the ever-changing landscape of health care. This website is similar in design to her other business "Engage in Change" below. Again - keeping things simple was the most effective method with this web design.

Engage in Change Coaching and Consulting

Charlene wanted a website for her new business, "Engage in Change" which helps individuals through life transformations, businesses with transitions. Her new venture is very appropriate for today since "change" seems to be a survival skill. Charlene knew exactly what she wanted in her website and provided me with all the graphics and content - this website practically created itself!

Cranbrook Hill Bed and Breakfast

Angela wanted a simple web presence for her new - yet very unique bed and breakfast located on beautiful Cranbrook Hill. Her guests can step out of their private suite into the northern wilderness where may see an abundance of our local wildlife. We incorporated Angela's Facebook feed into her main page so when she updates her Facebook page, it updates on the website as well. This website was launched on April 18th. 2011.

Summerfield Farms

Summerfield Farms raises all natural, grass fed, fullblood Limousin beef and sells (and delivers!) their amazing beef products to customers in the greater Prince George area. This was a fascinating website to build - I learned so much about the history of this very, very old breed of cattle. Cave paintings of Limousin bulls in the south of France date back well over 30,000 years! Limousin beef is renowned because of its leanness, its much larger yield and higher percentage of expensive cuts along the loin. This website has a unique background which depicts a Limousin bull drawing from the famous Chauvet Cave in France. It was launched at the end of March, 2011 and comes up one of the first in Google with the search of "grass fed beef prince george"!

Canyon Tree Farms

I discovered Lynn and Canyon Tree Farms at the UNBC Craft Fair. She and her husband sell a fabulous selection of all natural beef products as well as quality Angus cattle and paint horses. They wanted a website that would explain their all natural philosophy, feature their herdsire bulls and genetic testing results, list upcoming cattle sales and offer their sides of beef, full range of ready to eat and fresh sausage, jerky, hamburger patties and lean ground beef for sale. Canyon Tree Farms is proud to be the only producer in this area that has become a part of the Canadian Verified Beef Production Program. This website was launched at the end of January, 2011 and already comes up FIRST on a Google search for "Angus Breeder Fort St. James"!

Marine Plus

Trent and Kelly wanted a simple website for their successful marine parts business in downtown Prince George. Although the website itself is small, there is a link to their entire marine catalog online which allows customers, even ones from outlying areas, to view and easily contact Trent or Kelly to order their products. It also lets people look them up online and contact them directly. Trent chose to own several domains that all point to his website: marineplus.ca, marineplus.com and marinewest.com. Although the website is very new, is already comes up on the first page of Google with a search of "marine parts prince george"!

To The Core Pilates

It was a treat working with Emily to make this website for her Pilates classes. She knew exactly what she wanted and the website literally created itself. One of the most amazing things about this particular website is that Emily herself is the model in all the photographs! This adds such a personal touch since most websites like this have stock graphics. The website was only launched in mid November, but is already coming up on the first page with a search of "Pilates Prince George"!

Prince George Work at Home Moms

Originally this website was in Content Management, but needed constant security upgrades because of the complex coding. So I recently redesigned it into a simple site and the feedback I have had is that it is much cleaner and easier to navigate than before. This website was completely search engine optimized and in Google, the search of "WAHM Prince George" brings it up first!

Wild & Free Outdoor Photography

Darwin Paton is an outdoor and nature photographer - and also is an amazing artist and poet. He combines all these talents into his incredible photographs which he wanted to feature on a simple website. Darwin worked very closely with me and together we have come up with a striking website that showcases his photographic works of art. The photographs are all watermarked and click from the smaller images to very large to show great details. The photos are also separated into individual categories. And you can contact Darwin for a custom order, or order any of his photographs as fine art cards, photographs with frames or on canvas. This website was launched in July, 2010 and comes up very quickly in Google with the search "outdoor photography Robson Valley"!

Kermodei Adventures - Jet Boat Tours

The owner of this exciting adventure tour company came to me wanting a simple website that would market his wilderness jet boat tours on the beautiful Exchamsiks River, located between Prince Rupert and Terrace. Because he offers several variations on these tours, we chose to have a different page for each one, including a special page only for Cruise Tour passengers. This page is only linked from the Cruise Ship website since he created a jet boat shore excursion specifically for the Alaska bound cruise ships in Prince Rupert. Jason supplied me with the text and all his amazing photographs. If you find yourself looking for a little excitement in your life, you should really give him a call! This website was launched in June and already comes up first in Google with the search "jet boat tours Prince Rupert"!

On The Move Personal Fitness

Kris & Brianne Russell started On The Move Personal Fitness several years ago but came to me because they wanted a fresh new look for their website. They don't offer the usual fare in their gym - their goal is to teach your body to work in perfect balance. Classes are held indoors and out and they even have a program for brand new moms to get back into shape! They wanted a website that was clean and easy to navigate for their clients to find information on all the different programs they offer. With all the lovely photos they provided me, this website was up and running in very short order! Visit their website and sign up for a free Drop In session! I'm happy to say that On The Move Fitness comes up on the first page when searching for "Fitness Prince George" in Google!

Sew North Gifts

Tamara of Sew North Gifts is an amazing fabric artist who uses recycled materials to create her one-of-a-kind aprons, bags, beanbags, bibs, blankets and more. She had a very particular idea of what she wanted her website to look like and I was so happy to help make her dreams come true! Her website is a scrapbook of memories - beginning with the fabric background which came from a dress her mother had made for the three of them (herself, Tamara and her little dolly, Suzie). The photos in this website have all been carefully framed to appear as though they are in a scrapbook. The images have been saved in layers so that they can be updated in the future a little easier. You can order any of the items on her website, or she can sew new life into your own memorable fabric. "handcrafted tote bags prince george" brings up this website 1st in Google!

Ridgeview Gardens Bed & Breakfast

If only all my customers were this organized! Geoff and Patti have a beautiful Bed and Breakfast overlooking the Nechako Valley and they wanted their own website to help promote it. They kept things very simple which makes it easy for a potential customer to see the features of their luxurious Garden Suite and Birch Bedroom. Their website was launched in January, 2010 and after suggesting that they place themselves on Google Maps, by February they were coming up 4th on Google Maps with this search: "bed and breakfasts prince george, bc".

dish Personal Chef Services & Outside Catering

dish Personal Chef Services and Outside Catering wanted a simple website that would showcase her mouth watering dishes! It was just wonderful working with Trish! She wanted a website with very simple lines so that her gourmet food would be featured. She was involved in every detail of making this website and we worked back and forth until the website reflected the food stylist she was! Her food photographs were a feast! We hoped to get across the point that Trish does not only do the usual fare - she also creates gourmet meals for you to reheat at your home or office! This website is completely search engine optimized and was only recently launched. A Google search using "food catering prince george, bc" brings this website up on the first page!

Mead Manor Bed & Breakfast

Laura had a number of listings with bed and breakfast directories, but she wanted to have her very own website so she could feature her lovely bed and breakfast in her own way. It was important for her to have a photo gallery so that she could show potential guests her rooms and their private living areas. And the photo of her sun room is worth more than a thousand words! It looks out to her glorious garden filled with the most interesting bird houses. This website is completely search engine optimized and comes up nicely in a search for "bed and breakfasts prince george, bc" on Google Maps.

Project Friendship Society

I was delighted to find myself working on another project with Sandra Nahornoff! The Project Friendship Society is a registered charity that connects people isolated with various disabilities into the community, by encouraging the citizens of Prince George to welcome them into their local associations. Along with information about the Society and coming events, the finished website provides a complete listing of local organizations and their contacts as well as many of the stories behind these special connections. This was a very large project with a great deal of information. To cut down on design costs, we chose to format the PG Connector Directory and Stories as PDF files which could be easily updated by the Society without paying for web design time. This website is completely search engine optimized and comes up 1st in a search for "project friendship" on Google.

The Proper Construction of Lawn Bowling Greens

This website describes a bit of the revolutionary technique to build a lawn bowling green properly and provides a link to order the manual, with all proceeds from sales of the manual going to the US Lawn Bowls Association.

This website was originally launched in 1997 but recently was redesigned into a Simple Site.
