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.

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!

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 andn 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!

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.

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.

It looks out to her glorious garden filled with the most interesting birdhouses.

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.
