Squamish websites that make the next step clear.

I’m James Hutchings, a web designer in Squamish. I build and repair websites for small businesses here and along the Sea to Sky, so a customer on a phone can see what you do and reach you on the first try.

Focused projects from CA$2,500. A full website gets its own quote. You work with me directly.

What I build and repair.

Most of my work is on sites that already exist. Some of it is new. Either way the job is the same: make it clear what you do, where you work and how to get in touch, then make sure that route works.

A new website
for a business without one, or one whose site no longer fits what it does
A repair on the platform you have
clearer pages, fixed forms and a site that works on a phone, without starting over
Service pages and the enquiry path
one clear page per service, and a contact or booking route that reaches the person who replies
Website and Google details that agree
the same name, hours, phone and services on the site and the Business Profile
A handover in your name
your accounts, your domain, and instructions you can follow

What I check first.

The first thing I check on any site is the path a customer takes on a phone: from the Google result, to the page, to the phone number, form or booking button, to your inbox. If that path breaks, the rest of the site cannot do its job.

You probably do not need a new platform. On most of the sites I look at, the platform is not the problem: it is what is on the page and whether the contact path works. I check that before I ever recommend a move.

I look at the Google Business Profile at the same time, because it is often the first thing people see. The two guides below cover what I check.

Work you can check.

Each case says what I did, what the owner did, and what was not measured. Most of this work improved sites the owners already had.

Doggy Tales, Whistler
Chad made the website and Business Profile changes from my plan. Search clicks went from about four a day in June to about seven in August 2026, and the profile appeared in the local three-pack in six of eight sampled Whistler searches, up from none in June. The searches were sampled once; enquiries, bookings and revenue were not measured.
Alejandro Connor Photography, Squamish and Whistler
We made his solo approach and small-wedding focus clear, added six answers to the contact page, and aligned his website and Google details in August 2026. Alejandro made his own image improvements. Enquiries and bookings were not measured.
Peace By Pins
I listed what the clinic’s public listing was missing and drafted fifteen review replies. Robin put them live in her own words, with opening hours and photos (checked 19 August and 7 September 2026). Unpaid work for a friend; search and patient outcomes were not measured.
Eightfold Creative
I gave Brent a prioritised plan for his studio’s story, pages, proof and enquiry path, and he made the changes (checked 4 June 2026). Traffic, enquiries and revenue were not measured.

How a project runs.

We start with a free 20-minute conversation. If there is a project in it, it runs in four steps.

Projects normally start with a 50% payment. The balance is due after you review and accept the work.

Look at the path
on a phone and a desktop, from the search result to your inbox
Agree the scope
the smallest scope that does the job, with the fee and how we will check it, before paid work starts
Build and test
I make the changes and test real situations with you
Hand over
your accounts stay in your name, with instructions, and 30 days to report faults against the agreed scope

What it costs.

Focused projects start at CA$2,500. A full website gets its own quote after we talk. Writing the content, photography, moving from another platform and connected tools all change the scope, so the starting price is not a promise of a full website.

If you want help beyond one project, an ongoing partnership starts at CA$3,000 a month for 12 hours of direct work.

All fees are in Canadian dollars. Agreed software costs and taxes are extra.

Where I work.

I’m based in Squamish. I don’t publish a street address. I meet clients at their business or by video.

In Squamish, I can come to you. In Whistler and Pemberton, in person when it helps, otherwise by video. On the North Shore, North and West Vancouver, by video. I don’t have a published North Shore case yet.

Repair or rebuild.

Start by asking whether a repair would do. A rebuild makes sense when the platform fights every change, the structure cannot hold the services you now offer, or nobody you trust can edit the site.

If we do rebuild, working page addresses and useful pages come with us. Redirects, search settings and connected forms get planned, not left to chance. A new look is not a reason to lose a page customers already use.

Send the site and the one thing that is not working.

Send your website address and one thing that is not working the way you want. People ask the same question every time. They cannot find a service. They start booking and stop. They get in touch without the details you need. Any of those is a good place to start.

The first 20-minute conversation is free.
