Castlegar, BC. Serving the Kootenays and beyond.Website design built for your industry.
20industries, each with its own page: the rules and trust signals that field cannot skip, what its customers check before they call, and the build I would start with. I work from Castlegar, in BC's Kootenays, and build for businesses anywhere.
Civic and destination
Public pages, bookings, visitor confidence, and seasonal demand, with the practical details easy to find. How I work with public bodies
Golf course websites
Built for public and semi-private courses, destination and resort golf, municipal courses, and member clubs that juggle tee times, memberships, leagues, the pro shop, food and beverage, weddings, and tournaments, and want all of it to feel like one premium place instead of five disconnected logins.
Municipal websites
Best fit for small and mid-sized municipalities, regional districts, recreation and public service teams, and councils that want more than a locked template: a custom, accessible civic website that earns resident trust and grows with the community.
Tourism and resort websites
Built for destination marketing organizations, regional tourism campaigns, multi-property resorts, attractions, and visitor-facing organizations across the Kootenays that need a whole region or a whole property portfolio to read as one trip worth taking. Single properties are better served by hotel and lodge website design, and guided trips by adventure operator website design.
Lodging and hotel websites
Built for hotels, lodges, inns, motels, cabins, resorts, and short-stay operators in the Kootenays and across BC who want more direct bookings, less OTA commission, and a first impression that matches the rate they charge.
Adventure operator websites
Built for cat ski and backcountry ski operations, rafting companies, hiking and mountaineering guides, backcountry lodges, climbing and mountain bike outfits, and fishing charters across the Kootenays and BC, whether you are replacing a brochure site that has not changed since your last tenure renewal or putting your first one up before next season sells.
Campground and RV park websites
Built for family campgrounds, RV parks, cabin and tenting resorts, and seasonal-site parks across the Kootenays and beyond, whether the current website went stale years ago or the park has never had one and runs entirely on a phone number and word of mouth.
Main street
Clear offers, better local search, a strong first impression, and a short path from a search to a phone call.
Restaurant and cafe websites
Built for restaurants, cafes, bakeries, breweries, food trucks, caterers, and specialty food brands across the Kootenays, whether you are replacing a tired menu-PDF site or putting your first one up before the season starts.
Retail and ecommerce websites
Best fit for boutiques, makers, artisans, gift shops, specialty retailers, local product brands, Shopify stores, market vendors, and hybrid in-store plus online businesses across the Kootenays and BC.
Trades and contractor websites
Built for builders, renovators, electricians, plumbers, landscapers, roofers, HVAC and gas crews, painters, excavators, concrete and finishing trades, and service businesses that win work on trust, proof, and looking established.
Wellness and clinic websites
Built for physiotherapy, chiropractic, massage, dental, counselling and mental health, naturopathic, aesthetics, yoga, and fitness studios. Regulated colleges and independent practitioners both fit.
Craft beverage websites
Built for breweries, wineries, cideries, distilleries, and meaderies, taproom-first or production-first, across the East and West Kootenays and the rest of BC, whether you are replacing a template the brewery outgrew or putting up the first site before the taproom doors open.
Auto repair and tire shop websites
Built for independent garages, tire and wheel shops, mobile mechanics, fleet and diesel shops, and family shops that have run on word of mouth for twenty years and want a website that carries the same reputation to people who have not met them yet.
Salon and barbershop websites
Built for hair salons, barbershops, nail studios, lash and brow bars, esthetics rooms and day spas across the Kootenays, whether you rent one chair, run a busy walk-ins shop, or have three stylists and a booking app that nobody can find from Google.
Farm and agriculture websites
Built for market gardens and farm stands, u-pick orchards and berry farms, CSA shares, ranches selling beef and lamb by the box, butchers and abattoirs, garden centres and nurseries, and feed and farm supply stores across the Kootenays and the Columbia Basin.
Specialized work
Credibility, lead capture, portals, listings, memberships, events, and the workflows a template usually flattens.
Real estate websites
Best fit for luxury agents, serious teams, boutique brokerages, relocation advisors, and local market specialists who want more than a profile wrapped around a search box.
Venue and event websites
Built for wedding and event venues, banquet halls, theatres and performance spaces, conference and community centres, retreat and resort venues, and the organizers and event teams who book and run them.
Membership organization websites
Best fit for professional associations, chambers of commerce, clubs, societies, nonprofits, recreation and trade groups, and member-funded bodies that serve both members and a board, and that run dues, renewals, events, directories, and gated resources.
Professional services websites
Best fit for law firms, accounting and CPA practices, financial advisors and planners, management and technical consultants, engineers, architects, and boutique advisory firms across the Kootenays and BC.
Industrial and B2B websites
Built for machine shops and fabricators, trucking and transport carriers, mining and forestry service contractors, equipment rental and sales, storage and laydown yards, and industrial suppliers who sell to purchasing managers and site supers rather than to walk-in customers.
Childcare and education websites
Built for licensed group daycares and family child care, preschools, before and after school care, independent schools, tutoring practices, music and dance studios, and seasonal kids programs across the Kootenays, including the many that have never had a website at all.
What it costs, whatever the industry.
Every industry page prices from the same ladder, so a salon and a sawmill start in the same place. The page for your field shows where builds like yours usually land.
Websites from $2,000
The Trailhead is the starting point for every industry on this page. Businesses that need to be found for every service in every town usually land in The Engine at $6,500.
Website tiersStores from $5,500
The Storefront is a full custom Shopify store. The Masterpiece, from $10,000, is for a business whose store is the business.
Store tiersSystems from $10,000
The Empire and custom web apps are for bookings, memberships, portals, and the software a business runs on.
The EmpireWebsite and Storefront builds can also go on Own It Monthly. The Trailhead is $2,000 once, or $500 today and 12 monthly payments of $142, which is $2,204 all in, and the site is yours outright at payment 12. How Own It Monthly works
What owners ask before they pick a page.
Do you build for my industry if it is not listed?
Yes. The pages above are the fields I have written up in depth, and the build process is the same for any business. If you take bookings, sell products, run memberships or events, or need to be found and trusted in your town, there is a tier that fits.
What does a website cost for my kind of business?
Every industry starts from the same ladder. The Trailhead is $2,000 and The Engine is $6,500. Stores start at $5,500 with The Storefront, and The Empire and custom web apps start at $10,000. Each industry page shows where builds like yours usually land, and the final number is confirmed before any work starts.
Have you built for businesses like mine?
The portfolio shows real client builds and concept builds, each labelled as one or the other. I only show proof from the same kind of business. If I have not built in your field yet, the industry page says so instead of borrowing work from another one.
Does a specialized industry cost more?
The price is set by what the site does, like bookings, a store, or member accounts. The industry name never changes it, so two businesses in different fields that need the same things pay the same price.
How long does a build take?
The Trailhead takes 2 to 3 weeks, The Engine 4 to 5, and The Storefront 5 to 6. The Empire and The Masterpiece start at 8 weeks. The clock starts once the core materials are ready, and a live preview link lands in the first week.

Don't see your industry? It still fits.
The pages above are the fields I have written up in depth. If your business takes bookings, payments, memberships, listings, or events, I can build for it. Starting from zero or improving what you have, there is a lane for both.
