Web designer & developer in Chilliwack, BC.
I build durable websites and custom software for Chilliwack small and medium businesses — from dairy, greenhouse, and specialty agriculture out past Rosedale and Yarrow, to trades and retail along the Yale Road and Vedder corridors, to professional services around downtown and Sardis. Fixed-price websites, scope-per-engagement apps, launched in two weeks.
Chilliwack operates on local-first.
Chilliwack is at the far end of the Fraser Valley — 90 minutes from Vancouver on a clean Highway 1, longer when the pass backs up. It’s the largest population centre in the upper valley and serves as a commercial anchor for the smaller communities around it — Hope, Agassiz, Harrison, Rosedale, Yarrow. That position changes how business works here. Most Chilliwack SMBs I talk to serve a genuinely local customer base, and the proportion of their revenue coming from word-of-mouth and Google Business Profile is higher than in Metro Vancouver.
A Chilliwack website has a specific job: load fast on the kind of connection a customer actually has (some of the catchment is on 3G or slow DSL), rank locally without pretending to serve cities it doesn’t, and build credibility with a customer who values seeing a real address, a real phone number, and real photos of the work. A Five-Year Website handles all three by default — performance-first, schema-backed local SEO, clean handover so your team can keep the site current without calling anyone.
The other dimension unique to Chilliwack and the upper valley is agriculture. Dairy, berry, greenhouse, and specialty farming are a big slice of the regional economy, and a lot of these operations have an online presence that hasn’t been updated since 2015. A modern site with proper schema for agricultural businesses, a clear product or service offer, and contact paths that work for a farm-direct customer is a meaningful upgrade — and it’s the kind of work a Five-Year Website is actually built for.

Upper valley coverage included.
Chilliwack businesses typically serve the upper valley — Hope, Agassiz, Harrison, Rosedale, Yarrow — and often across to Abbotsford. See the Fraser Valley hub for the regional view, or the Abbotsford page for the neighbouring market context.
My farm has a website from 2014 that doesn't rank for anything. Is this fixable?
Usually yes. A 2014 farm website is almost always on a platform Google has since deprioritized, with missing LocalBusiness schema, no mobile optimization, and content that has never been updated to match search intent. A Five-Year Website rebuilds from scratch on modern infrastructure and costs less than you'd guess — often $4,500 fixed for a focused farm marketing site with farm-direct contact and product pages. An audit first can tell you whether a full rebuild is necessary or whether a lighter fix moves the needle.
Do you drive out to Chilliwack for in-person meetings?
For kickoff and launch reviews, sure — it's a manageable day trip and a good project benefits from a face-to-face at those moments. Day-to-day is async with daily preview links, which means neither of us is burning 3 hours on Highway 1 to review something that's two minutes on a screen.
We're outside Chilliwack — Agassiz, Hope, Harrison. Are you too far to be useful?
No. Remote-and-adjacent work fine. Upper FV clients usually get the same engagement structure as a Chilliwack client — kickoff in person or over Zoom (your call), async build with daily preview links, launch review in person or remote. Location affects meeting logistics; it doesn't affect whether I can build a site or an app for your operation.
