Trailblazers Local Passport
A pocket guide to local businesses for visiting basketball families, built for my kid's club.
A one-person website studio in Collingwood
Websites as good as your work.
Custom websites for small businesses and organizations around Georgian Bay. Easy to find on Google, easy to book from, and all yours.
Industries I build for: Cleaners, Salons, Barbers, Plumbers, Electricians, Landscapers, Physio and wellness, Boutiques, Cafes, Pet groomers, Painters, Contractors.
The problem
People look you up before they call. What do they find?
Search: house cleaner near me
Result one
Nothing at all.
If you're not on Google, you don't exist to the person with guests coming Saturday and a house that isn't ready. They'll call whoever shows up first.
Result two
A website from 2014.
Tiny text, a dead link, a phone number you have to pinch and zoom to tap. It quietly says you might not be in business anymore.
Result three
A Facebook page and a prayer.
Facebook is lovely for your regulars. New clients want prices, photos and a way to book, without scrolling through your posts from last spring.
You're good at what you do. Your website should say so before you ever pick up the phone.
My work
Work I’m proud of.
Real projects, and concepts that are clearly labelled as concepts. Open any of them for the full story.
About me
Hi, I'm Lisa.
I build websites for small businesses that deserve better than what they've got.
The cleaner who's amazing at what she does but nowhere to be found on Google. The salon relying on a Facebook page. The local tradesperson with a website that hasn't seen an update since 2014.
Sound familiar?
I started by building a website for a local cleaning business and helping my kid's basketball club find a better way to sell sponsorships. It didn't take long to notice how many great businesses around Collingwood were being let down by their online presence. Good people, great services, websites that just weren't cutting it.
I figured I could do something about that. So here we are.
I won't hit you with tech jargon or try to convince you that you need seventeen things you don't. I like making complicated stuff simple, building things that look good, and creating websites that actually do their job.
I'm an introvert, so don't expect a pushy sales pitch. I'd rather build you something great and let the work speak for itself.
When you work with me, you get me. No account managers, no being passed around, no wondering who's actually doing the work. Just a real person who answers her own phone and gives you straight answers.
That's how I think business should work.

How it works
First chat to live, in four steps.
No mystery invoices, no jargon, and you always know what happens next.
- 1
We talk.
A relaxed chat, on the phone or in person. You tell me about your business, your customers and what isn't working. I ask a lot of questions. No jargon, no pressure.
- 2
You get a plan and a fixed price.
You'll know exactly what you're getting and what it costs before anything starts. Half to book your spot, half when it goes live.
- 3
I design and build it.
You see real pages early, on your own phone, and we tweak as we go. Changes happen while they are still easy.

You go live.
I launch it on your own web address, get your Google Business Profile in shape, and walk you through it. You own all of it.
