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:

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.
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.
