Kamloops, BC · Website Development
Website development in Kamloops.
A template can put a website online. It can't give you a custom booking flow, a customer portal, a store that loads instantly, or markup clean enough to outrank competitors. That's the difference between a site that exists and one that's built.
I'm a Kamloops web developer who builds custom sites and web apps in code — Next.js, React, and TypeScript — the same stack behind serious web products. Fast by default, built for search, and yours to keep, not locked to a platform.
What website development covers.
From a fast custom-coded marketing site to a full web application, built to the same standard — clean code, real performance, and no platform lock-in.
Custom website development
Sites built in code, not dragged together in a page builder. That means faster load times, cleaner markup for SEO, and a site that does exactly what your business needs — instead of fighting a template's limits.
Web application development
Booking systems, customer portals, calculators, dashboards, member areas — web apps that go beyond a brochure site. If your business has a process, it can usually be built into the site.
Next.js and modern stacks
I build on Next.js, React, and TypeScript — the same stack used by serious web products. Fast by default, server-rendered for SEO, and maintainable years down the line rather than locked into a closed platform.
Integrations and APIs
Connect your site to your CRM, payment processor, booking tool, inventory, or email platform. I wire the pieces together so data flows automatically instead of being re-keyed by hand.
E-commerce and headless builds
Online stores built for speed and conversion — including headless setups that pair a Shopify or Stripe backend with a custom, fast front end. Sell without the bloat of a heavy template store.
Performance, Core Web Vitals & technical SEO
Clean code, optimised images, proper caching, structured data, and a passing Core Web Vitals score — the technical foundation that lets a site rank, built in from the first commit instead of patched on later.
Do you need design or development?
Most Kamloops businesses need both, and I do both. The distinction matters when you're deciding what to ask for:

Who hires me to develop a website.
- —Businesses that have outgrown a template and need custom features a builder can't provide
- —Owners frustrated by a slow, fragile site that breaks every time it's edited
- —Companies that need their website wired into a CRM, payment, booking, or inventory system
- —Trades, clinics, and service businesses that want customers to self-serve — booking, quotes, portals
- —Anyone in the BC Interior who wants a fast, custom-coded site built to rank and to last
Common questions.
What's the difference between web design and website development?
Design is how a site looks and feels — layout, branding, the visitor experience. Development is how it's built — the code, functionality, performance, and integrations underneath. I do both, but if you need custom features, a web app, or a fast custom-coded build rather than a template, that's the development side.
Do you use WordPress, Wix, or Squarespace?
For most projects, no. I build custom in Next.js and React because it's faster, ranks better, and isn't locked to a platform's limits or monthly fees. If a simple template builder genuinely fits your needs, I'll tell you that honestly — you don't need to pay me for something Squarespace does.
Can you build custom features, not just pages?
Yes — booking flows, customer portals, calculators, dashboards, payment and CRM integrations, member areas. If your business has a repeatable process, it can usually be built into the site so customers self-serve and you save time.
Will a custom-built site actually rank better?
A clean, fast, well-structured build gives you a real advantage: better Core Web Vitals, proper structured data, and markup search engines parse easily. Code isn't a magic ranking button, but it removes the technical drag that holds most template sites back.
Do you work with businesses outside Kamloops?
Yes. Kamloops first, but development work is done remotely, so I build for businesses across the BC Interior and Thompson-Okanagan — Kelowna, Vernon, Penticton, Salmon Arm, and beyond.
