Sound Familiar?
If any of these hit close to home, you're not alone — and there's a better way.
These aren't separate problems. They're one problem: nobody is looking at your digital operation as a whole.
You're paying an agency thousands a month but can't tell what they actually do.
You know you need to use AI somehow but have no idea where to start.
Your website was 'done' months ago but still isn't bringing in leads.
Every vendor you talk to just wants to sell you their one thing.
Why I'm Different
I built this practice to be the opposite of everything that frustrates you about agencies.
One Person, Not an Agency
Direct access to the person doing the work. No layers of account managers, no game of telephone. When you call, I answer.
AI-Accelerated, Human-Led
I use AI to handle repetitive work — faster turnaround, lower costs. But every strategy, decision, and quality check is mine.
Full-Stack Capability
Strategy, web dev, SEO, ads, automation, and AI — all under one roof. No coordinating between five vendors who don't talk to each other.
No Agency Overhead
No office rent, no layers of staff, no markup on markup. Your budget goes to results, not to funding someone else's overhead.
How I Work
Three simple steps from first conversation to measurable results.

About Mark
I've spent 20 years designing and building websites and digital strategies. I'm a BCIT and UVic grad, and I've worked as a senior designer, developer, SEO manager, and digital marketing manager at agencies throughout my career.
Now I work directly with small businesses as a Fractional CTOA part-time technology leader — senior expertise in web, SEO, ads, and AI without hiring a full-time executive. — giving you enterprise-level digital strategy, development, and marketing without the enterprise price tag. No layers, no hand-offs. Just one experienced professional who handles everything.
I'm also co-owner and manager of a successful Sechelt hair salon — so I understand the realities of running a small business firsthand, not just from behind a screen.

The free diagnostic call is where we figure out exactly what you need and what it costs.
