Your website isn’t just a design project.

It’s the hub of your marketing.

Before we build a site, we take the time to understand your brand — your positioning, your audience, your goals. Because a website should support your business, not just look good.

We design on Squarespace for a reason:

• Professional and polished
• User-friendly for ongoing updates
• Flexible and creative
• Built to grow with you

Even our startup websites are never “just a template.”
They’re structured, intentional, and aligned with your strategy.

From budget-friendly launches to full-scale company builds, your website should be a foundation — not an afterthought.

Rooted in strategy. Built to grow. 🌳

Congratulations Scottduncan Music for your nomination! Well deserved. We are happy and proud to help share your amazing talent with all your fans.

Well, I think the cat is out of the bag a bit.. but this is a first for me. I have been nominated for Instrumental Solo Artist of the Year from the Canadian Folk Music Awards / Prix de musique folk canadienne for my Album Grandpa & Me!

This little ol’ sideguy/fiddler is pretty chuffed.. it feels amazing to be recognised for a project that means so much to my family and me.

Thanks to Ray Schmidt, from the The Wardens , for producing and bass-ing, Nico Laroche-Humby and Miles Zurawell for guitar-ing/mandolin-ing & banjo-ing, and Laura Dunkley from Acorn Studio Marketing & Co. for marketing/promo-ing and incredible moral-supporting!

Thanks also to the CFMA for the nomination.. I’m so stoked!
