Independent web studio in Nanaimo, BC

Good design, built to work.

I design and build websites for small businesses and organizations: clear on a phone, quick to load, and easy for you to update. You work with me from the first call to launch.

The problem

Why isn’t your website pulling its weight?

It probably looked fine on launch day. Since then it has fallen behind, and nobody is sure who to call when something needs changing. That’s common, and it’s fixable.

  • It looks dated next to the businesses you compete with
  • It’s hard to read and slow to load on a phone
  • Only the last developer knows how to change anything
  • Enquiries arrive in the wrong inbox, or not at all
  • I build sites that fix all four, and set them up so you can run them.

    A website designed around your business and built properly, so it makes a strong first impression and is easy for you to keep up to date.

After launch

Can you update it yourself?

Yes. I set your site up so you can edit text, images and pages without calling me, and I walk you through it before handover. If you’d rather not, I can look after updates, fixes and new pages for you.

More about me

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Can’t find yours? Email me directly.

Who will I actually be working with?

Me. Workwell is a studio of one, by design. I’m Jeridan, and I handle your project from the first conversation to launch and beyond. No account managers or handoffs.

How much does a website cost?

It depends on how many pages you need and what the site has to do. Book a free introductory call, tell me what you have in mind, and I’ll explain how I’d approach it and what it would involve before you commit to anything.

Can I update the site myself?

Yes. I build on platforms you can manage yourself and show you how to edit pages, swap images and post updates without needing to call me.

Will it work properly on phones?

Every page is designed and tested for phones, tablets and desktops, with accessibility and speed in mind from the start.

I already have a website. Can you work with it?

Often, yes. Sometimes the right move is improving what you have, sometimes it’s starting fresh. We’ll look at it together on the intro call.

Can you connect forms and bookings to the tools I already use?

Yes. When it’s useful, I connect forms, booking, email and the software you already rely on, so enquiries land in the right place and less gets copied by hand.
