How to read the work
These are not screenshots for the trophy case. They are proof of decisions.
Each stop shows what changed for the business: clearer trust, better paths, stronger positioning, more useful pages, cleaner calls to action, and a site that feels easier to choose.
01
Proof of taste
The work has to look premium before anyone reads a paragraph. Local does not mean small. Small does not mean sloppy.
02
Proof of strategy
Each case study shows the business problem, the trust gap, the conversion path, and the reason the build was shaped that way.
03
Proof of continuity
The public site is only the visible summit. KMD projects can continue through the Neighbours Lodge, Field School, Ask Brett, and clear update paths.
Newest summit
Luke Mori Luxury Real Estate now leads the trail.
A 741-URL luxury real estate concept built around Nelson-born guidance, Kootenay Lake knowledge, buyer and seller pathways, local guides, and long-tail listing discovery.

Click to trigger the avalanche
Not a video. Not a GIF. Real-time code.
After the showcase
The build goes live. The relationship should not go dark.
The portfolio shows the finished public work, but KMD is built around what happens next too: clearer updates, practical guidance, client resources, and a calm path back to Brett when the next business question appears.
01
Launch is the visible part
The portfolio shows what goes public: positioning, pages, visuals, conversion paths, and technical execution.
02
The Lodge is what keeps it alive
Clients can keep learning, requesting updates, organizing resources, and asking Brett instead of disappearing into a support void.
03
The audit is the next trail map
Before a big build, the free audit shows what is already working, what is leaking trust, and what deserves the first move.
Your next move
Find the first move before you buy the build.
The free audit turns your current site into a practical trail map: what is helping, what is hurting, and whether you need a small fix, a sharper page, or a full custom build.
Audit first. Build only when the path is clear. Lodge support after launch.
