Hey, I'm Steffan.
I design and build beautiful and effective websites out of Ottawa, Ontario. I love simplicity, usability and clever design.
Simple, clean, and beautiful.
That's how I make websites. We'll discuss your ideas, current image, and content, and in the end we'll have something you'll be proud to call your own.
Fast turnaround & low price.
I work quickly, and my rates are very competitive. Time and money are both valuable things, so I'll try to save you as much as I can of both.
Be in charge of your website
I build websites with content management systems, like Wordpress. This lets you edit and control the website yourself, whenever you please.

Allow me to introduce myself (again)…
Steffan Lloyd•Web Designer•Ottawa, ON
Where do I start? I'm 32 years old, and I'm the type of person who would write a script so that my age is always up to date in this sentence.
While that may seem young, that doesn't stop me from having over 16 years of web design experience, during which I've endlessly built on my skills and kept with design trends as they come and go. I'm a self learner and I'm passionate about great design and clever coding. I love being both a designer and a coder, as it lets me be creative and colourful, all while still being able to get down and dirty with code.
When I'm not in front of my computer, I'm usually out biking, running or skiing in the Gatineau Park near my house. I also enjoy a good movie, a fun board game or a homemade gourmet meal.
