Building websites and systems for different industries is so much fun. 😍👌

You get to learn about things you otherwise never would have. It truly makes you respect & appreciate the differences between them.

I'm continuing to work on my portfolio and regularly update and make additions to the concepts and work I've already completed!

If you're interested in geeking out a little bit about what I do day to day, check out my portfolio and let me know your thoughts!

Real builds, from civic concepts and local brands to AI platforms.

I have applied to this program as a service provider!

This mission was exactly what I set out to do when I opened up Kootenay Made Digital a few months ago. Help modernize local businesses in an ever-changing world.

Very excited to chat and see if it's a good fit. Have a read if you get a few moments.

RealtyNinja is a genuinely good Canadian real estate website builder. It gets an agent online fast with live IDX listings. The question is not whether it works, it is whether a template agent site is still the right call once you are competing on brand, SEO, and trust.

RealtyNinja is great for getting online fast with IDX listings. Here is when a custom real estate website wins on brand, SEO, authority content, and ownership.

I just published the Vale Realty concept case study.

It’s a fictional luxury real estate website built to show what a premium agent or boutique brokerage site can be when listings, area guides, visuals, trust, and conversion paths are treated like part of the sales process.

Highlights:
• 43 public pages
• 10 detailed estate listings
• Cinematic hero video
• Buyer and seller advisory paths
• Waterfront, acreage, luxury, and area-based listing structure
• Guide content for relocation, valuation, and private estate decisions

The point: high-value real estate deserves more than MLS uploads and a contact form.

Read the case study & view the concept:

If you know a real estate agent, brokerage owner, developer, or property professional who should see this, please tag them or send it their way.

A fictional luxury real estate advisory site built as a polished Vale Realty brand, with private-showing positioning, estate inventory, coastal area guides, buyer and seller pathways, and cinematic property storytelling.

Okay, I'm pretty stoked about this one.

I just finished building the City of Silvermere, a full municipal website concept from scratch. It's a fictional mountain lake town (not a real place!) but the whole thing is a real working build. 175 pages. Pay a bill, report a pothole, find a service, council agendas, permits, emergency info, community support, all of it.

Here's the thing that bugs me about most city websites: you basically have to figure out the whole org chart before you can get anything done. So I built this one around what residents actually need first, not which department owns the page.

And honestly this is part of a bigger plan. I picked 12 different industries to build full concepts for, just to push myself to really learn each one. Nobody asked me to, I just figure the best way to do great work for a business is to understand their world inside and out before I ever touch the real thing. Municipal is one of them, and there's more on the way.

Have a look & let me know what you think:
