RD Everterra - Kemptville Landscaping Company

I took over the development of rdeverterra.ca to sharpen and improve their online presence. While the site was already built with a fantastic framework, I focused on making it as fast as possible to reach sub-500ms load times. My goal was to give this Kemptville business a professional edge with top-tier search engine rankings and a lightning-fast experience for every visitor.

Munster Irishdoodles

In early 2021, I partnered with a local Irishdoodle breeder to create a website from scratch, guiding her through hosting, domain setup, and designing a modern, clean, and friendly WordPress site.

The project was a great success, with the new website significantly increasing inquiries and waitlist requests for her puppies.

Munster Irishdoodles remains one of my favorite projects, thanks to the collaboration and the joy of helping a small business thrive.
