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

I design and refresh clear, modern websites for businesses in Gravenhurst, Muskoka, and beyond. Whether your site needs a focused cleanup or a thoughtful rebuild, we’ll start with what your customers actually need to do.

Featured project

Ember Tiles

Now in beta testing on iOS & Android

A habit tracker built around a simple idea: light a tile each day you show up — and consistency turns into something you can actually see glowing. Everything stays on your phone.

My own product, end to end — the idea, the branding, the interface, the app itself, and the website that introduces it.

  • App development
  • UX & UI

Websites created for businesses and independent brands

A few recent projects — each one planned, designed, and built end to end.

The Mireille & Co. website on desktop — a cream page headed “Where creativity becomes strategy” above a list of PR services
Client website

Mireille & Co.

A calm, editorial site for a boutique PR studio that represents indie artists and emerging brands — built so the right client recognises themselves immediately.

Digital product

Resonark

A music visualizer that turns whatever you’re playing into live visuals — and quietly keeps a record of how each song sounded.

Direct, one-to-one

You talk with the person who plans, designs, and builds your website — no account managers, no hand-offs.

Built around customer actions

Mobile-friendly pages designed around the things your customers actually do: find you, trust you, get in touch.

Clear scope, practical advice

Honest recommendations tied to your goals, with scope, timing, and next steps agreed before work begins.

Support after launch

Ongoing care is available — updates, small changes, and a website that keeps pace with your business.

Services

From a focused cleanup to a complete website

Every engagement starts by understanding what your customers need to do — then doing the simplest work that gets them there.

Website Clarity Review

A focused review of your current site — mobile usability, messaging, navigation, and the improvements most worth making.

Focused Website Refresh

Keep the foundation that works; improve the presentation, content hierarchy, and customer pathways that don’t.

New Small-Business Website

A complete, professional website for a business that needs a proper online foundation.

Landing Page or Product Website

A focused site for an app, product, campaign, event, or launch — one page with one job.

Website Care & Updates

Updates, backups, security reviews, and small content changes, so your site stays current without becoming your job.

Not sure which fits?

Start with a review — it’s the quickest way to find out what your site actually needs.

Why work with me

A personal alternative to the agency process

  • You speak directly with the builder. The person you email is the person planning and creating your website.
  • Recommendations tie to real goals. Advice is grounded in what your business is trying to achieve — not in selling a bigger package.
  • Clear expectations, always. Scope, timing, and next steps are written down and agreed before work begins.
  • Experience you can lean on. Several years of website projects and WordPress experience across businesses, professional services, apps, and creative brands.
  • Modern, AI-assisted development. I use modern AI-assisted tools to work efficiently — while personally directing the strategy, structure, design, content, testing, and implementation.
  • Rooted in Muskoka. I’m based here and understand businesses that serve residents, visitors, and seasonal customers.

Proof Panda

Local-first · no account, no cloud, no tracking

A cozy, private vault for life’s important proofs — receipts, warranties, return windows, tax records and IDs, kept tidy and stored right on your device.

Another product of my own. It scans a receipt and reads the merchant, total and date on-device — no account, no cloud, nothing uploaded.
