Born just outside of Toronto and now living in a cozy town where everyone knows your coffee order, I’m Chantel – web designer, oil painter, and champion of creative entrepreneurs who are done with websites that don’t work as great as they look.

Why This Toronto Web Designer Is Different (Spoiler: I Actually Get You)

After spending 15 years in the creative industry and 5 years building bespoke websites, I’ve learned a thing or two about what makes creative businesses tick. Like you, I’ve been there – juggling the art of creation with the business of actually making money.

Here’s what makes me tick:

  • I’m an oil painter who’s shipped art all the way to France (oui oui!)
  • Former financial advisor turned web design maestro
  • Passionate about helping small businesses succeed
  • Big family = encyclopedic pop culture knowledge (trust me, it comes in handy)
  • Coffee shop enthusiast (because where else do you dream up the best ideas?)

When to Work With This Toronto Web Designer

You know it’s time when:

  • Your DIY website is holding your business back from where it needs to go
  • You’re tired of wrestling with clunky templates and endless plugins
  • You need a website that converts, not just looks pretty
  • You want a site that feels like YOU, not a cookie-cutter template
  • Managing your website feels like a chore (it shouldn’t!)

How I Work: Let’s Make Your Website Actually Work

As a web designer serving Toronto and beyond, my approach is simple: I visualize your entire business journey. Not just where you are now, but where you’re heading. Think of me as your website’s personal trainer – I see the potential, and I know how to get you there.

What Sets Me Apart from Other Toronto Web Designers:

  1. I’m Actually in Your Corner Need resources I don’t provide? I’ll find someone for you. Want to share your interior design mood boards? Send them over! This isn’t just about web design – it’s about supporting your whole business journey.
  2. No Cookie-Cutter Solutions Your business is unique, and your website should be too. I specialize in taking your creative vision and building it into a website that actually works for you.
  3. Strategy Meets Design Sure, I’ll make your site look amazing, but more importantly, I’ll make it convert visitors into loyal fans. Because pretty is nice, but profitable is better.

Let’s Turn Your Website from DIY to DAMN!

Whether you need a complete website overhaul or a strategic design refresh, I’m here to make sure your online presence:

  • Reflects your passion
  • Delivers real results
  • Attracts the right clients
  • Simplifies your business life
  • Makes you proud to share your URL

REVIEWS

CANDLES + HAIRDRESSER, MO + CO, CALIFORNIA UNITED STATES

Chantel is amazing! I needed an expert in all things website design, and she delivered above and beyond. As a multifaceted professional, I required two websites – one for selling my hand-poured candles and another for my main profession as a hairstylist. She also created a brand board and logos for me. For my candle website, she taught me how to use Shopify and customized everything to my liking. She sent me videos and tutorials to help me understand how to use and make changes moving forward. Honestly, I couldn’t have imagined working with a better website designer. She's so fun and kind.

MORGAN MORRELL

I feel really lucky to have been connected with her.

"She’s also a patient and kind collaborator — which I think is key on major projects like launching a website/shop. She’ll take your hand and walk you through the process from start to finish. "

UMA SANGHVI

If you’re looking for a Shopify wizard to make your website dreams come true, Chantel is your woman.

GEORGETOWN GENERAL SURGERY, ONTARIO, CANADA

Chantel was extremely pleasant and easy to communicate with. She was very quick to respond and to turnaround work products. We needed a website for a medical practice, which was a bit outside her normal clientele, but Chantel went above and beyond to ensure we were happy with the finished product. Overall a 10/10 experience.

MATTHEW MOSSELER

The platforms and processes she used were very streamlined and efficient, which made our lives easier.

executive coach, SAN FRANCISCO

You gave me some great options. The placeholder photographs you found were particularly helpful in making sure I ended up with the right images for my brand.
I would absolutely recommend you to coach friends looking to put together their website!

Let’s get your website reflecting where you are in business, and not where you were.
