Business websites
Websites for contractors, trades, and local service businesses. Hand-coded, quick to load, and set up properly for Google from day one instead of as a paid add-on later.
PHP · HTML/CSS · schema markup · local SEO

Websites and .NET software, built to last.
I build business websites and Windows desktop software. One developer, no agency layers, and I stay on after launch to keep things running.
What I build
A website that brings in work, and software that helps you run it. I do both.
.NET desktop software
WinForms and WPF programs for daily use: quoting, inventory, job tracking, reporting, and the internal tools nothing off the shelf quite covers.
C# · WinForms · WPF · .NET Framework & modern .NET
Legacy application takeover
A lot of businesses still run on old WinForms programs nobody wants to touch. I take those on: bug fixes, updates, and careful modernization. No forced rebuilds.
.NET Framework · maintenance · modernization
Internal tools & integrations
Dashboards, admin panels, API integrations, and automation that cuts out manual steps. Often the best value for money of anything I do.
APIs · MySQL · automation · reporting
Selected work
Recent client sites, plus software I build and run myself. Each one has a longer write-up.
Xerion
Independent product — xerionsoft.net
A software platform built and run in-house: 169+ browser-based tools in one account, sold with one-time licenses. Design, code, billing, and operations all handled by Atlas Works.
Johanna Oram Photography
Portrait, wedding & family photography
A photography-led site for a fine art portrait, wedding, and family photographer in Norfolk County, with portfolio collections and a signature Fresh 48 session page.
Crosspath Contracting
General contracting, concrete & roofing
Website rebuild and rebrand for a Tillsonburg general contractor covering concrete, roofing, framing, decks, and stonework across Southwestern Ontario.
Revive Surface Care
Vehicle detailing, paint correction & ceramic coatings
Full website rebuild for a Norwich auto detailing studio offering paint correction, ceramic coatings, and interior detailing across Oxford County.
How I work
You talk to the developer
You deal with the person writing the code. Nobody in between.
Fixed scope, in writing
Before anything starts you get it in writing: what's included, what isn't, the timeline, and the price. If a job isn't a good fit for me, I'll tell you.
Around after launch
Fixes, updates, and small additions after launch are normal. Most of my clients stay on for maintenance.
How a project runs
Most projects follow the same four steps. Small jobs move through them quickly; bigger ones add review loops in between.
-
Conversation
A short call or a few emails to figure out what you need. Free, and no obligation either way.
-
Proposal
A written outline of the scope, timeline, and cost. Work starts once you approve it.
-
Build and review
You see working previews along the way and can course-correct early, before changes get expensive.
-
Launch and support
I deploy it, test it, and hand it over. Support carries on from there as needed.
Based in Norwich, serving Southwestern Ontario and beyond
I work in person with businesses around Norwich, Tillsonburg, Woodstock, Brantford, Ingersoll, London, and Hamilton, and remotely with clients across Canada. Most web and .NET work runs fine over email, calls, and screen sharing.
For local clients in Oxford County, on-site visits for scoping, training, or desktop installs are part of normal service.
Common questions
Anything not covered here is worth asking directly.
What kinds of projects does Atlas Works take on?
Business websites, landing pages, internal tools, .NET WinForms and WPF desktop applications, integrations, and automation. Mostly for owner-run businesses and small teams.
Do you work outside of Ontario?
Yes. I'm based in Norwich but work with clients across Canada. On-site visits are available around Southwestern Ontario; everywhere else is handled remotely.
Can you take over an existing website or application?
Yes, regularly: refreshing tired websites, fixing or modernizing old WinForms tools, and adding features to systems that are already running.
What happens after the project launches?
As long as you need it. Fixes, updates, small improvements, and maintenance retainers are all normal arrangements.
What does a typical project cost?
Depends on the scope. Every proposal has a fixed scope and a clear price up front. I don't do open-ended hourly billing.
Start a project
Tell me what you're trying to build and any deadline that matters. I usually reply within a day or two.
