Web development
for nonprofits
I build websites and web platforms for nonprofits that need to be dependable, not flashy. Sites that handle real traffic, meet accessibility standards, and are simple enough for your team to run without a developer on retainer. I work remotely with organizations across Canada and beyond.
Why nonprofits work with me
Reliable, accessible, and yours to keep
Nonprofits usually don’t need the most expensive option or the trendiest stack. They need a site that stays up when a campaign takes off, works for every visitor regardless of how they browse, and doesn’t become a liability the moment the person who built it moves on. That’s the kind of work I do best.
Accessibility isn’t an add-on here, it’s the default. I build to recognized standards so the people you serve can actually use what you’ve paid for, and I hand everything over cleanly so your team, board, or next hire can maintain it. You own the site, the code, and every login when we’re done.

Platforms people rely on
BC Children’s Hospital
Built for people with enough to worry about
For years, the hospital’s clinical web applications were showing their age. Some took over 10 seconds to load for the patients, families, and clinicians depending on them, all of whom had enough on their minds already. I led development across 15+ of those applications: patient-facing tools, research platforms, and a VR experience that lets kids walk through the MRI process before it happens, reducing anxiety and improving outcomes. Migrated the entire portfolio to Azure with Docker and automated CI/CD pipelines, cutting maintenance overhead by around 15 hours a month and bringing load times down to under a second. The work reached over 20,000 users a month, and one project was featured in a peer-reviewed clinical study.
After 11 years, the Digital Lab has closed its doors and this site is no longer online.
Access to Therapy
Currently building
Redesigning the web presence for Access to Therapy, a mental health nonprofit. Building a site that handles thousands of visitors a month, meets accessibility standards, and lets the team manage it without calling a developer.
