From boring to brilliant

Our old website was, frankly, boring and onerous—so much so that people actively avoided it. It was hard to navigate and didn’t reflect who we are at all. Fast forward to now, and the transformation is incredible. The new site is eye-catching, intuitive, and genuinely easy to find your way around—and it’s already brought us new members.
Working with Ian (Websmithian) was a joy from the very first meeting. He’s fun, incredibly knowledgeable, and has a real gift for turning ideas into a website that actually works. He guided us through the whole process and helped us create a site that’s not only beautiful, but also easy for us to manage day-to-day.
The feedback has been amazing—both members and non-members have been raving about the new site. We couldn’t be happier and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ian to anyone looking for a website that truly delivers.

Yes, your organization's website was definitely in need of some TLC - and someone from outside the org to reorganize and rebuild it, so that both current and potential members could easily browse and find the information they're looking for. The more I learned about the association and what it does, the easier it was for me to figure out just how to reorganize and present your people, events, and news.
Working with your team was a breeze. You quickly responded to my questions and mastered my Trello system of communicating in a few minutes! This project went more smoothly than most, so thanks to your group for collaborating so well with me - and for your very kind words.

Working with Ian was a pleasure.

Working with Ian was a fantastic experience. After dealing with other website builders in the past—where poor communication and technical issues led to a loss of hundreds of potential clients—I was hesitant. But Ian completely changed that for me.

He was responsive, efficient, and always willing to make any changes I requested—fast and flawlessly. His streamlined communication process made everything clear and easy, which is absolutely essential when building a website that works.

Thanks to Ian, I finally have a website I can trust. It runs smoothly, stays up to date, and reflects my evolving ideas and goals. I’ll be working with him for years to come, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my site.

Whether you need a simple site or something more complex, I highly recommend Ian. You’ll be in great hands.

Wow, Sandy! Thanks for the lovely words.

Designing and developing a website is a collaborative effort and you certainly held up your end of the bargain. You provided good photos and suitable information about your product line, making it easy for me to create your one-of-a-kind e-commerce website. And your use of the Trello board and feedback tool that were set up for the project were also very helpful, keeping us on track and working efficiently.

I look optimistically forward to watching new business roll in through your new online store!

Websmithian builds successful business websites!!!

I tried creating a website on my own to promote my holiday rental but it all got so confusing--integrating a payment system, creating a calendar linked to that of Airbnb. I gave up and turned to Ian @ Websmithian, who cut through the confusion, doing the complicated back-end work, structuring pages, very much limiting and simplifying what I had to do. It is already getting lots of Google hits and I expect my business will be significantly more successful thanks to his efforts. Ian is a total gem, extremely knowledgeable, works quickly, is always pleasant, explains things extremely well and gets the job done.

Thanks for those lovely words, Kate. Website design and building projects are a collaborative effort between myself and my client and they go really well when the client does their part. Your provision of suitable photos and other content made the project a breeze and it was a total pleasure working with you. I'm sure that having a website that looks and functions professionally will bring in more prospective renters of your lovely cottage.

We had a few different websites before websmithian. They were all missing the “touch”. Ian checked over our site and came up with many solutions. In short he had to start over right down to the hosting. Now once we went “ live” we’re getting customers from all ends of the country and many different types of leads. The way Ian set up the seo is definitely a home run. The site is so clean with out clutter and we’ve actually had our customers comment on the attractiveness of our site. Never had that before! There’s no doubt everyone will be hearing about websmithian from us.

Thanks for the kind words, Diane. You and Jim were great to deal with and continue to be as we expand the website further with equipment lines you're adding for your growing business!

Before I contacted Ian I was trying to maintain and update my business website myself with poor results. I spent way too much time that would have been much better spent doing the things that I know how to do best. Ian made me a new website that works so much better than what I had.
Now Ian looks after my website maintenance and updates on a regular basis and I am very happy with his service. I feel his price is more than fair and he is very pleasant and easy to communicate with. He will happlily explain anything that I dont understand and is available to help with any requests I might have. I would highly reccomend Ian to anyone who needs website assistance.

Wow! Thanks for the five stars, Maureen. Were I to make a list of my top clients, you'd be on it, mainly because you're easy to work with and are open (occasionally!) to extending yourself into new areas of technology. I'm happy to have you as a client.

I had a totally outdated website that was becoming basically useless and I knew I had to get a new one done.
After searching the web for someone to do this for me, I found Ian at Websmithian. I contacted Ian and he set up an appointment (on-line) to discuss my needs and wishes. Ian set up a Trello board so that I could follow along with the development. I was totally surprised about the amount of work that goes into developing a great functioning website. Ian did a lot of work prompting me to provide information to him to get the best product possible.
Through Ians efforts I now have a great functioning website that is definetly growing my business. I have had several people tell me that they contacted me specifically because of the website showcasing my business services.
Thank you Ian for a great job. Roger (Northern Landscaping Ltd.

A really great website building experience for a small business

I had a really lousy website for my business that I made in my spare time -- and it looked it.

Websmithian understood the needs of my business after a q&a and then crafted a website that suited me perfectly.

It has really helped me gain clients, educate them on the arborist services I can provide, and interact with them quickly and efficiently from my email.

If you need a completely new website, or a refresh of an existing one, Websmithian will be able to figure out how best to address your need!

Wonderful Websmithian

Before Websmithian, I was paying WAY too much (in USD, no less!) for a crappy website designed poorly by AI. In just a few short weeks working with Websmithian, I have a beautiful website to which I now proudly direct my clients. Ian took the time to understand what I wanted and the intricacies of my specific industry, then developed the perfect site for my business. I now know how to continue to contribute relevant content and I am confident I will remain with Websmithian for many years to come. I am by no means "tech savvy," so I knew I would need to put in a fair bit of work to get what I wanted. Ian makes the collaborative process simple enough for someone like me, and I am over-the-moon-thrilled with the result!

It pays to trust Ian

I needed a website that has a certain look and feel, it was my first time doing one and it seemed impossible to get what I wanted in a reasonable budget until I found Ian.
Although we worked online and in a different time zone, I was always able to trust Ian's feedback, replies, and work to be timely and many times ahead of expectations.
Ian has a lot of experience to share, I trusted his input and wisdom in many features and it all proved to be helpful and effective.
If I'd give one advice to anyone working with Ian it will be "Trust him". He will showcase your business the way it should be and a bit more.
