Penticton · South Okanagan
I'm Ryder. I run a mobile detailing business here in Penticton, and I build websites for other Okanagan businesses — cafés, shops and services that need a site doing real work, not sitting there looking like everyone else's.
The work
Not templates with the logo swapped. Each one was written for the business it belongs to, around what that business actually needed to do online.
A café sitting in six and a half acres of garden, running ticketed live music through the season and catering private events out of the same kitchen. Three businesses in one, and the site had to hold all three without anyone getting lost.
Forty years of the same recipes, cut and smoked on site. A shop like this sells on trust, so the site is built as a story you scroll through — the case, the bacon, the history — instead of a grid of products with no one behind them.
My detailing business, and the one where I get to test everything first. Every idea that ends up on a client site gets tried here before it goes anywhere near someone else's business.
Why hand-built
Every page is built from scratch for your business. Nothing to outgrow, no theme to fight, and it won't look like the last five sites someone scrolled past.
Squarespace and Wix charge $20–$40 every month, forever. Your site runs on hosting that's free at your size. You pay for your domain — about $16 a year — and that's the entire list.
No page builder, no plugin stack, nothing loading in the background. It opens quickly on a phone with two bars at the far end of the valley, which is where half your customers are.
Pricing
One price, quoted up front. If something falls outside the tier, I'll tell you before we start — not after.

Start with ScaleYour domain connected, the site deployed and live, and a walkthrough so you know where everything lives.
From launch. The files are yours — take them anywhere, any time, for any reason.
$50 each if you want more than your tier covers. Custom integrations quoted before we start.
After launch
Plenty of businesses take the build and run it themselves — that's a completely normal way to do this. The care plan is for the ones who'd rather text me than log in.
Light updates — hours, prices, photos, a new staff name. Small fixes as they come up.
Everything above, plus a monthly look at your analytics: what people are actually clicking, and what to change because of it.
Everything above, plus a monthly call — search, ads, what's converting and what isn't, and what we do next.
Cancel any time. The site stays yours either way — a care plan is a service, not a lock.
How it goes
Half an hour. What the business does, who walks in the door, and what the site actually has to accomplish.
I build one real page and send you a link. Not a picture of a website — the actual thing, open in your browser.
The rest of the site, with your words and your photos. You see it as it goes up, not at the end.
Domain connected, analytics on, and a walkthrough so nothing about your own site is a mystery.
Straight answers
Yes, outright, from the day it launches. The files are yours. If you ever want someone else to take it over, you hand them the folder and they carry on — there's nothing locked to me.
Your domain, which runs about $16 a year. Hosting is free at small-business traffic levels. That's the whole list — no platform subscription, no licence, no per-page charge.
Base is usually one to two weeks, Growth two to four, Scale four to six. The honest variable is content — how quickly your photos, hours and words come back to me is what sets the pace more than the building does.
Yes, and on the same domain. The new site gets built alongside the old one, and we switch over once you've seen it and signed off. Nothing goes dark in between.
I'll draft it and you correct it. That's almost always faster than handing someone a blank page — it's easier to say "that's not how we'd put it" than to start from nothing.
Ask. Most things are possible; some are more work than others. I'll tell you which before you commit to anything.
Start here
What the business is, roughly what you're after, and any date you're working toward. I'll come back with a tier, a price and a timeline — no meeting required to get that far.
