North Bay businesses and organizations get the same thing I give every client: one person who designs, builds and maintains the whole digital side of the operation. My workshop is in Sturgeon Falls, a 30-minute drive up the highway, so most projects run online with video calls, and I drive down when an in-person visit genuinely helps.
Around Nipissing I know the kind of clients I work best with: trades and professional offices, tourism and recreation operators, and francophone and community organizations. If your audience reads in both English and French, the site is built that way from the start. Content is entered once and published in both languages, not machine-translated after the fact.
What I build for North Bay businesses
- Websites & web applications: Custom sites that sell, book or inform, designed so your own staff can edit them: custom websites.
- Automation & workflow: Forms that register, confirm, remind and file themselves: custom systems.
- Private local AI: A model on a server you own that answers your customers' questions in your voice: AI & automation, explained.
- Support & maintenance: Updates, backups and fixes before they become emergencies: support.
Local proof, close to home
Two projects sit right in your neighbourhood. Les Compagnons des francs loisirs is the francophone hub for the Nipissing community. Their bilingual Drupal site runs childcare program registrations, the event calendar, online sales and volunteer communications through CiviCRM. Fit Check Group, the gym-equipment experts serving North Bay among other Northern Ontario communities, takes orders through a site their own team manages end to end, with enquiries landing straight in their system. Full case notes.
Serving the whole region
North Bay is one stop on my regular route: Sturgeon Falls and West Nipissing, Verner, Mattawa, Temiskaming Shores and the townships around them. Greater Sudbury and Timmins have their own pages (Greater Sudbury, Timmins), and projects in Toronto and Ottawa run fully remote.
Do you charge extra to work with a North Bay business?
No. The work is done from my workshop in Sturgeon Falls, thirty minutes from North Bay, and a 30-minute video call replaces most meetings.
How long does a North Bay business website take?
A typical small business site takes three to six weeks from first conversation to launch, depending on how much content and booking machinery has to move across. You get a fixed quote and a timeline before any work starts.
