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.

(Mobile Friendly websites have been identified below with this icon: Mobile Friendly!)

PG Alateen Mobile Friendly!
This very worthwhile wanted to offer online support meetings for teens and tweens in our community whose lives had been adversely affected by the use of alcohol by a close friend or family member. I created this one page website for them and they are able to publicize this service to those who ,ay need the support. This website was launched in April 2020.
Rubus Woodworks Mobile Friendly!
This website was created to showcase the amazing talents of Shane Patterson. He is a master woodworker so we created a page just to display some of the custom pieces he creates. He also does renovations, which often feature many of his custom touches. It was a pleasure working with Shane. This website was launched in February, 2018.
Norcan Consulting Ltd. Mobile Friendly!
Norcan Consulting Ltd is an archaeological and cultural heritage consulting firm located in Prince George. Owner Normand Canuel wanted to update his existing website with a modern, fresh look. He also wanted a mobile friendly website since much of his website traffic came from mobile devices. We kept most of the original colour scheme since it complimented his business logo, but we made the site navigation a little more intuitive and easy to view using small screens. This site was relaunched in November 2017.
Summerfield Farms Mobile Friendly!
Summerfield Farms raises all natural, grass fed, full blood 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 comes up one of the first in Google with the search of "grass fed beef prince george"! Website originally launched in March 2011, however, it was recently revamped to became Mobile Friendly in November, 2017.
Quellen German Shepherds Mobile Friendly!
Joanne originally had a website hosted with a different company, but it closed its doors and she had just 3 weeks to find a new host. She was referred to me by another client and in a matter of days, I managed to convert her existing website into a new Simple Site. Joanne's website is about her careful breeding of German Shepherds. She combines the best of European show lines and working lines to produce the complete German Shepherd. Her dogs perform a treasured family members, and excel in the show ring as well as on the Schutzhund Field. Her website tried to educate prospective buyers on what makes her particular dogs unique. This Mobile Friendly website was launched October 1, 2017.
PG Firearms Course (PAL & RPAL) Mobile Friendly!
For those who need to pass the Canadian Firearms Safety Courses (PAL & Restricted PAL), this is the place to contact! Don Willkins and his son, Bill, have been teaching these popular courses for years. They wanted a simple website, so I began with just a single page that gives links to the free electronic manuals, lists where to borrow or buy the manuals and also provides contact information for registration. One of the most exciting parts of this website is the embedded blog which allows Don to update that particular part of his website himself! In the future this website could expand to online registration and payment. This Mobile Friendly website was launched October 2016 and already comes up on page 1 for the Google search "firearms course prince george"!
On The Move Personal Fitness Mobile Friendly!
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! Website launched: March 2010. Upgraded to become Mobile Friendly in August 2016.
Marc Patrick LaCaille - Artist Mobile Friendly!
Marc Patrick LaCaille wanted a website that would showcase his amazing paintings. We decided that a black background would set off the vibrant colours he uses in all his artwork. Each of his paintings enlarges to provide a detailed view. We also watermarked all his art so that if it ended up on social media (Facebook, Twitter, Pintrest etc), viewers would still be able to trace the works back to the artist and know where it could be purchased. Website launched: August 2013. In April 2015, this website was relaunched as a Mobile Friendly website.
Lamacoid Plates Mobile Friendly!
Ralph emailed me from Ontario and asked it I could create a simple website for him. He had tried to create his own website many times, but realized that doing it properly required skill and expertise he didn't have. I was pleased to help him advertise his engraving business of lamacoid plates. He deliberately chose the electrical colours of yellow and black. Although he originally only wanted one page, he had so many great examples of his past engraving works that it required its own page. This website was launched in March 2014. In April 2015, this website was relaunched as a Mobile Friendly website. This website comes up on page 1 of a Google search for "lamacoid plates".
District 27 Al-Anon Family Groups Mobile Friendly!
I was asked to create a simple website for this world renowned 12 Step support group and was delighted to do so. They asked for a one page website that would be essentially identical to their posters. This website flew together in a matter of hours and launched March 2014. In April 2015, this website was relaunched as a Mobile Friendly website. This website comes up on page 1 of a Google search for "alanon prince george".
Ridgeview Gardens Bed & Breakfast Mobile Friendly!
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". Website launched: January 2010. In April 2015, this website was relaunched as a Mobile Friendly website.
Canadian Country Cabins Mobile Friendly!
Mark contacted me to see if I could revise his existing website into a Simple Site. Mark runs a lodge in the glorious Robson Valley which is a haven for photographers, fishermen, hunters and others who love to be in the wilds of British Columbia. His website was a treat to design since his photos of the magnificent valley and abundant wildlife lent themselves perfectly to the larger header photos. We also added large photos at the bottom of most of the pages as well. All the other photos on the website are able to be clicked to enlarge. This website was redesigned and launched in March 2014. In April 2015, this website was relaunched as a Mobile Friendly website.
Charis Counselling Services Mobile Friendly!
Brian was looking for a very simple website for his counselling services. He had some hand drawn bears that he wanted incorporated into the website. We found a way to feature the bears in the blue background and also watermarked behind the content of each page. This website went together very quickly - from inception to launch took less than 3 weeks when it went live. A Google search for "counselling services prince george " brings up this website on the first page! Website launched: October 2012. In April, 2015, this website was relaunched as a Mobile Friendly website.
Sunny Slope Bed & Breakfast
Did you know that there is a simply beautiful bed and breakfast on nearby Cluculz Lake? When I met with Gerry and Pearl Knechtel and saw their magnificent custom home built on a sunny slope of Cluculz Lake, I was so excited to create their website for them. The home is practically all glass - there is a glorious view from practically every room in the home. And there is a private rental cabin. Be sure to visit their Photo Gallery! A Google search of "bed and breakfast cluculz lake" brings this website up quickly! Website launched: January 2014.
Gateway Accounting & Bookkeeping Services
Leigh asked for a very simple website that would allow potential clients to contact her easily. Being a Simple Site, her website is very clean and well laid out. Her header photo is a stock image chosen because it contained a gateway and also had her favourite colours in it. This website went together very quickly and was up and running well before the tax season began. A Google search for "accounting Prince George " bring up this website on the second page. Website launched: December 2012.
House To Home Design Mobile Friendly!
Kathy wanted a website to illustrate what a tremendous difference the right window coverings can make. She obtained some beautiful photos from her supplier "Shadomatic" and displays them throughout her website. Kathy worked closely with me to find colours that complemented her lovely photographs. A Google search for "window treatments prince george " brings this website up on the second page. Website launched: September 2012.
Birch Bay Resort
Neil & Jackie wanted to have a website that would illustrate what a beautiful piece of the world this fishing resort is in. Although we had never met, we easily put this website together - they provided the stunning photos and descriptions and all I had to do was put it all together. This website took only a couple of weeks from start to finish - a testament to how beautifully organized Jackie is! A Google search for "fishing resort francois lake " brings this website up first! Website launched: March 2012.
Harrison Hot Springs Marina
Although I have never met Warren from Harrison Hot Springs Marina, he easily communicated to me what wanted in a website and a couple of weeks later it was launched! His many photos of the gorgeous mountain backdrop by his marina made beautiful header images - again this was one of those websites that flew together quite easily. If you are in the Vancouver during Vancouver Boat Show, be sure to look for their booth! A Google search of "hot springs marina british columbia " brings this website up on the first page! Website launched: February 2012.
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 comes up quickly in Google with the search "jet boat tours Prince Rupert"! Website launched: May 2010.
Sandra Nahornoff Wildlife Artist
Sandra Nahornoff is an award winning wildlife artist in BC. She wanted a website that would showcase her art and also make it available for purchase. I carefully watermarked each of her images so that they might not be copied illegally and presented them in categories of Original Art, Prints, Commissions and a gallery of her private collection. Sandra worked with me throughout the website development by viewing my progress on a temporary website. This website is completely search engine optimized and a search of "wildlife prince george" bring this website up on the first page! Website launched: December 2008.
