About
A neighbour who happens to build great websites.
The short version
Kootenay Made Digital started with a simple observation: the businesses in the West Kootenays are incredible — but their websites? Not so much.
I'm a Castlegar-based developer who's spent years building digital products and learning what actually works online. Not just what looks pretty — what brings in customers, builds trust, and makes the phone ring.
What makes Kootenay Made different? I use modern AI-powered tools alongside traditional design skills. This means I can deliver the quality of work you'd expect from a big-city agency — but faster and at prices that make sense for a Kootenay business. No bloated teams. No six-month timelines. No $15,000 invoices.
But technology is only half the story. The other half is being here. Being part of this community. Understanding that the plumber in Trail has different needs than the yoga studio in Nelson. Knowing that "let's grab a coffee and figure this out" is worth more than a hundred Zoom calls.
Every business in the Kootenays deserves a digital presence that matches the quality of their work. That's what we're here to build.
What we believe

Modern Tools
We use AI and the latest technology to deliver faster, better results — and pass the savings to you.
Genuine Care
Your success is our success. We're building a reputation in a small community, and we take that seriously.

No jargon, no upsells. Just clear communication and honest advice — even if it means telling you what you don't need.
Why "Kootenay Made"?
"Made" is intentional. It implies craftsmanship — something built with care, skill, and intention. Not assembled from a template. Not churned out by a factory. Made.
And "Kootenay" isn't just geography. It's a promise. It means we're here. We understand this place, these people, these businesses. When you work with us, you're not a ticket number at a remote agency. You're a neighbour.
Let's talk about your business.
No pitch. No pressure. Just a conversation about where you are and where you want to be.
