A web developer and designer who actually lives in Ucluelet.
Not a call center, not a dev shop three time zones away — I'm based here, and I can meet in person if that's useful.
Building for Ucluelet, West Coast Vancouver Island, BC
Ucluelet runs on a mix that most web templates don't understand: commercial fishing and marine trades that have been here for decades, alongside the whale-watching operators, fishing charters, lodges, and restaurants that have grown up around Pacific Rim National Park and the Wild Pacific Trail. Traffic swings hard between summer and winter, and a lot of bookings and quote requests happen on a phone, often from someone who's never been to town before and is deciding between you and the next search result.
Who I build for in Ucluelet
Fishing charters & guiding
Booking-first sites that turn a browsing tourist into a real inquiry.
Lodges, B&Bs & vacation rentals
Availability, rates, and photos that actually load fast on a phone.
Restaurants & cafes
Hours, menu, and location that Google gets right — not buried in a PDF.
Marine & trades services
Straightforward sites built to generate calls, not win design awards.
Why work with someone local
Being based in Ucluelet means I understand the seasonal cash-flow swings this town runs on, and I can sit down in person to talk through a project instead of doing everything over email. If your business depends on the same tourist season everyone else's does, that's not a foreign concept to me — it's the reason a fast, mobile-first, easy-to-update site actually matters here.
Ucluelet questions
Regularly — lodges, charters, and restaurants that live and die by the summer season are a big part of what I build. Booking flow, mobile speed, and being easy to update yourself between seasons all matter more here than they would for a year-round downtown retailer.
Yes. I'm based in Ucluelet, so an in-person meeting is on the table if that's easier than a call — most projects still run fine over a quick video consultation either way.
Yes. Every site ships with an SEO-ready foundation, and Acuity Local SEO is available on top of it as an ongoing service on any website — at the Starter level a monthly review of your Google Business Profile and your site with exactly what to change, and hands-on changes and keyword research at the higher levels — from $149/month on a 3-month initial commitment. No one can guarantee rankings, and SEO is an ongoing process rather than a one-time switch, but being based here means I already know which Ucluelet searches carry tourist intent versus local intent, and the ongoing work is scoped around that difference.
