About the studio principal

Twenty years of websites,
one honest operator.

I hold an Advanced Diploma in Graphic Design from Fanshawe College and an Honours Diploma in Sales & Marketing from Westervelt College, and spent over a decade in telecom before turning full-time to the web. Growth Catalysts is the result: a solo studio where the person quoting the work, designing the brand, writing the code, and picking up the phone is the same person — me.

Work is quoted in plain language with honest scope. You own your code, your domains, and your data. No retainers unless you want one.

Featured case study

Clear Path Separation & Divorce Mediation
separationagreement.ca

The problem

Clear Path needed a real self-service intake pipeline: prospects arriving cold, getting a transparent fee estimate, agreeing to terms, and paying a $299 DIY package or booking mediation, without a phone call in between.

The approach

Custom-built clearpath-calculator WordPress plugin (now v2.5.0) handles the fee logic and admin submissions. WooCommerce carries the checkout with a waiver system, ILA acknowledgment, and PayPal gated behind Terms. Eighteen active WPCode snippets manage the edge cases the plugin shouldn't own.

The outcome

A live, self-serve mediation platform running continuously since 2024. The fee calculator and WooCommerce funnel now operate without daily intervention, and the client is on an annual care plan with ongoing iteration and bug fixes as the business grows.
