The builder above asks about your business, roughly how many pages you need, the style you're drawn to, and whether you want extras like copywriting or photography. It prices each answer as you go, using the same published rates you'll find on the pricing page. Standard selections are priced at those published rates and I do not mark them up afterwards. Anything custom — and Growth and Business builds in general — is scoped with you first, and the written quote follows that conversation.

Nothing is sent to me until you choose to send it. Your answers are kept in your own browser as you go, so you can close the tab and pick it up later. It takes about two minutes, it's free, and there's no obligation at the end of it.

Every site is hand-coded from the ground up for your business — no page builders, purchased themes, or drag-and-drop. I bring a proven process to each project, but the site itself is built for you. Pricing is by project tier rather than by the hour: the scope is the thing being priced, not the time it happens to take me.

• Custom Website Design and Development — Hand-coded websites and web applications built from the ground up for each business, priced by tier rather than by hour. No page builders or purchased themes.
• Website Care and Management — Acuity Care covers the work a website needs after launch: small changes to what is already there done as needed, priority in the queue, routine oversight, and a lower hourly rate on larger work. Optional if you bought the website upfront — without it a site stays live and hosted. On a Foundation, Growth and Business monthly plan it is included for the whole term instead, and becomes optional once that term is paid in full.
• Local SEO — Acuity Local SEO — ongoing search optimization for local businesses that want to improve their organic visibility.

Managed Hosting keeps deployment, security, SSL, DNS, and monitoring under one setup. Managed Hosting is $30/month, billed separately on every plan and on an upfront build. It is not bundled into any plan price. Once it is paid in full, your permanent licence lets you host the site anywhere, custom tools included — moving hosts may still break some of that functionality, so ask which parts first.

Reasonable. Here is real, finished work rather than a gallery of mockups:

• State of Mind Roleplay — A custom site for an 18+ FiveM roleplay community — built around the three things that actually persuade someone to apply: the rules in full, the charge index, and a courthouse that sits.
• Martin Woodworking — A brochure site for a veteran-owned, three-generation family firewood business — built around the kiln-drying process that sets their wood apart, and real local trust.
• Traffic Jams Car Tunes & Toys — A custom site for a Nanaimo car audio and 12V install shop — built around posted pricing, real install photography, and inquiries that arrive ready to quote.
• Comfort First Early Learning — A custom web application for a regional childcare center — built around program discovery, fee transparency, and enrollment.
• Salty Sea Bookkeeping — A website move, not a redesign — a Port Alberni bookkeeping practice’s existing site, rebuilt page for page in code and taken off GoDaddy’s Website Builder with every link and inbox intact.
• Live demos — working interactive products you can click through yourself, not screenshots.
