Async first
Written scope, written updates, written commitments. Synchronous time is reserved for the brief call and a mid-build review — not for weekly meetings that produce nothing. Works across timezones without strain.
§ RemoteRemote EngagementsAcross Canada
Remote web design & software development — across Canada.
I’m based in Vancouver and primarily serve clients in British Columbia, but I take on remote engagements across Canada for the right projects. If you’re a small or medium business anywhere in the country building a new website, custom software, or restructuring your SEO — and you’re comfortable working remotely — I’d be glad to talk.
§ Remote.1How remote worksThree principles
Daily preview links
Instead of "progress reports," every working day you get a live preview URL showing the current state of the build. Click, scroll, test. See the work happening, not read about it later.
Single-timezone flexibility
I am on Pacific Time. For Eastern, Central, and Atlantic clients, I shift a small window early or late as needed for real-time conversation. For regular work, async keeps us both productive.
§ Remote.2Why this worksDistributed by design
Software work is already remote work.
The difference between a client in Vancouver and a client in Calgary, in practice, is about 30 minutes of shifted morning time and a preference for Zoom over coffee meetings. Almost every part of a website or application build is async work — design decisions documented, code written, preview links reviewed, revisions implemented. There is no hidden communication overhead that only emerges in person.
What matters for a good remote engagement is whether both sides are comfortable being specific in writing, decisive on video calls, and patient with small timezone moments. If you are, remote works cleanly. If you prefer a weekly in- person check-in and on-the-fly conversations, an agency in your city will suit you better and I will tell you that during the brief.

§ Remote.4Questions
Can you build for a business outside British Columbia?
Yes. I take remote engagements across Canada — Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, the Atlantic provinces, the territories. The work is the same: durable websites and custom software. The only thing that changes is we are operating asynchronously with scheduled calls rather than occasional in-person check-ins.
Do you need to meet in person?
No. Every project is deliverable remotely. For BC clients near Vancouver or the Fraser Valley I'll occasionally meet in person if the project genuinely warrants it — a site walk for a manufacturer, a kickoff coffee — but it's never required. Remote engagements are fully remote, start to finish.
How do you handle timezone differences?
Async-first. Written scope, written updates, and daily preview links do most of the communication — so a client in Halifax (AST) and a developer in Vancouver (PST) can both work normal hours without waiting on each other. For the small amount of synchronous time each engagement needs (brief call, mid-build review, launch walkthrough), I shift early or late as needed. In practice, this works smoothly.
What does remote onboarding look like?
The same as any engagement, just over video. Brief call (20 minutes, we do the scope conversation), signed scope document, kickoff call on day one where I walk you through the preview link and communication rhythm. After that: daily preview link, written updates as things land, and a scheduled mid-build review call. Launch is a final walkthrough call and a documented handover.
Is the pricing the same for remote clients?
Yes. Prices are the same for clients in Vancouver, Chilliwack, or Halifax. Five-Year Website from $4,500 CAD, SEO Audit from $1,800 CAD, Custom Apps scoped per engagement (flat-fee or monthly depending on the build). Remote engagements sometimes go slightly faster because there are no travel moments pulling my time, but I do not mark prices up or down based on location.
In Toronto, Calgary, or Halifax? Let’s talk.
20-minute call. I’ll adjust early or late for your timezone. You’ll leave with a clear sense of whether remote is the right fit for your project and what scope and price look like.
