Victoria, BC · Working across Canada
People are looking you up and finding nothing.
So I'll build you a website first, before you pay me anything. Message me today and you'll have a link to look at before the week is out. If you want it, your first month is $50 — then $100 a month, and I run the whole thing for you.
Already have a site that looks like it's from 2009, or one that's been sitting half-finished since last spring? Same deal — I'll rebuild it and take the whole job off your hands.

The whole price
Fifty dollars to start. A hundred a month after that.
Then $100/mo
Fifty dollars gets it built and live. After that it's a hundred on the first of the month and I keep the whole thing running.
How this goes
You see it before you buy it
Most people want a website but don't want to gamble on one. So I take the gamble instead.
I build it first
Before we talk about money. I use your real photos and your real reviews, and I send you a link — usually within a few days, and before the end of the week if you message me early in it. One person, no queue, no ticket number.
You look at it
Change anything — the colours, the words, the pictures, all of it. Or say no thanks and walk away. It costs you nothing and I don't chase you.
You pay fifty and it goes live
$50 by Interac e-Transfer once you've seen the site working — not before. That's your whole first month, building it included. After that it's $100 on the first of each month and I handle the hosting, the updates and your changes. It rolls on monthly, and if you ever want to stop you give me three months' notice in writing. It's all in the written agreement, in plain English, so you know exactly where you stand.
The obvious question
Why not just use GoDaddy?
Fair question, and I'll give you the honest answer instead of the salesman one: they're cheaper than me, full stop. Here's the whole picture so you can decide for yourself.
- About $10–$20 a month, forever — and it usually jumps once your first term runs out
- You pick the template, write every word, crop every photo, then lay the whole thing out a second time so it doesn't look broken on a phone
- It's the kind of job that starts on a Sunday afternoon and is still sitting half-finished in a browser tab a month later
- Something shifts out of place and there's nobody to ask — that's your Saturday now
- Your spare time is what pays for the cheap part
- $50 to start, then $100 a month. Hosting, web address and updates all in
- I build it, you tell me what to change, you approve it
- Separate pages for each of your services, so Google can find you for each one
- Four changes a year included, and I do them the day you ask
- You never open a dashboard, a builder or a settings page in your life
- $500–$3,000 for a one-page site in Canada
- $2,000–$10,000 for a small multi-page site
- Weeks of meetings and back-and-forth
- Proper job — if you've got the budget for it
So: I'm not the cheapest, and I'm not going to pretend otherwise. GoDaddy is fifteen dollars a month and I'm a hundred. The difference is what you're buying — with them you build it, fix it and maintain it yourself; with me I do all of that and you never touch it. I'm still a fraction of what an agency charges, and unlike an agency I don't vanish the week after it goes live.
Read this part carefully
What's yours, what's mine
I'd rather you know this up front than find it out later. You're subscribing to a working website, not buying one outright — and that's the trade for there being no big bill at the start. Here's exactly how it splits.
The thing nobody else does
Every site I build gets a little arcade
This is my signature, and it isn't decoration — it's the reason people stay. Someone who came to check your hours ends up two minutes into a high score, and a person still on your page is a person still thinking about calling you. Yours gets built around your business: a truck that drives to your shop, a dog that needs a bath, whatever fits.
On a computer: arrow keys to move, Z to pick, X to pause or go back.

Just me
I'm Carlos. I live in Victoria, and I build websites for small businesses — one at a time, by hand.
When you message me, you get me. Not a contact form, not a ticket number, not somebody in another time zone working off a script. If you want a photo swapped or the wording changed, you tell me and I change it that day.
Before I build anything I go and have a proper look at your business — your photos, your reviews, what your customers actually say about you. The best line on most of these sites is something a real customer already wrote about you years ago. I just put it somewhere people can see it.
I do one thing and I do it carefully: a clean, fast site that works on a phone, made out of what's already yours. You'll know within a week whether you like it, and it costs you nothing to find out.
