Who I build for

Local businesses that live on word of mouth — and deserve to be found online too.

If you're a plumber, electrician, contractor, salon, café or shop owner in Western Canada, you don't need a corporate website. You need one that loads fast, looks sharp on a phone, and turns searchers into phone calls and quote requests.

What you get

Everything handled, start to finish.

No jargon, no hidden extras, no "we'll get back to you in three weeks". Here's exactly what's included.

See all services

Custom website design

A site that looks like your business, not a template. Built to fit your trade, your town and your customers.

Mobile-first build

Most searches happen on a phone. Your site will be fast, clickable and easy to read on any screen size.

Google visibility setup

Google Business Profile, local keywords and the on-page basics that help nearby customers actually find you.

Quote & contact forms

Enquiries land straight in your inbox — no logins, no apps, no missed messages while you're on a job.

Setup & domain handled

I register or connect your domain, set up hosting and email, and hand you something that just works.

Edits & support after

New price list, new photos, new staff member? Send it over and I'll update it — included in the monthly care plan.

Not sure what you need? Tell me about your business and I'll suggest the simplest option.

You keep working. I'll keep you posted at each stage and won't move on until you're happy with what you see.

Web designer working on a website prototype
About me

Hi, I'm Ethan — I build websites for people who are too busy to think about websites.

I'm a web designer based in Canada, and Northwind Web Co. is how I work with small businesses across the West. I started it because far too many good trades and shops were losing work to competitors with a fraction of their skill — simply because they weren't findable online.

So I keep it simple. Affordable pricing, plain-English explanations, and a free mock-up so you can see exactly what you'd be getting before committing to anything.

  • Plain-English, no jargon
  • Free mock-up, no obligation
  • Affordable fixed pricing
  • Built mobile-first, always
  • Local SEO included
  • Edits after launch

Simple pricing

Affordable, fixed, and explained up front.

No hourly surprises. You'll know the price before I start, and the mock-up costs you nothing.

Common questions

Answers before you have to ask.

What does the free mock-up actually include?

A real design of your homepage — your business name, your services, your colours and photos. You see it in a browser on your phone and desktop before deciding anything. There's no cost and no obligation to continue.

How long does a website take?

Most small business sites are ready in about a week once I have your details and photos. A one-page site can be faster; larger sites with a gallery or menu section take a little longer. I'll give you a clear timeline up front.

Do I need to know anything about websites?

No. That's the whole point. I register or connect your domain, set up hosting and email, and hand you a finished site. If you can send a text message, you can work with me.

Will my site show up on Google?

I set up the foundations that matter for local searches: your Google Business Profile, your town and service keywords, page titles, descriptions and clean mobile performance. Local visibility builds over time, and I'll show you what to keep doing.

What happens if I need changes later?

Send me a message with what you'd like changed — a new price, a new photo, a new service. If you're on the care plan, edits are included. If you host it yourself, I'll still help and tell you exactly what to do.

Can you work with businesses outside Western Canada?

Yukon, BC and Alberta are where I focus, and where I know the local search landscape best. If you're just outside that area, get in touch and I'll let you know honestly whether I'm the right fit.

Free mock-up
