Web design in Gravenhurst, Muskoka

Websites that make local businesses easier to trust and easier to choose

I’m Glen. I build and refresh clear, fast sites for shops, cafés, galleries and seasonal businesses in Muskoka and across Ontario. You deal with me from the first chat to launch, and every project starts with a fixed written quote.

Client work

Websites I’ve built for owner-run businesses

I planned, designed and built each one around the client’s own brand, customers and photos.

Why work with me

What you get when you work with me

  • You deal with me, start to finish. The person you talk to is the person who plans, designs and builds your site.
  • A fixed written quote first. Before any work starts, your quote says what’s included, what it costs and when it’ll be done.
  • Rooted in Muskoka. I live in Gravenhurst and build for businesses that serve locals, cottagers and visitors.
  • You can update it yourself. Change your own text, hours, menu and photos. I’ll walk you through it at launch.
  • It’s yours. You own your domain (your web address, like yourshop.ca), your content and every login.
  • Built for everyone. Usable by people with disabilities and tested on real phone sizes. Sites are built to WCAG 2.1 AA, the standard behind Ontario’s accessibility law (the AODA).

How it works: a short chat, a written quote, design and build with check-ins along the way, then launch and a walkthrough. See how projects run →

My own products

Apps and a game I made start to finish

I designed, built and launched each of these myself, along with the site that sells it. It’s where I try ideas before I bring them to client work.
