Why Chris Nicholl
Your site. Your rules. Your freedom.
The big builders charge ~$276 CAD/yr and trap your site on their platform. We build yours for $199 — host anywhere, move anytime. Then just $10/mo.
You get a professional website built on open, portable technology with no hidden fees, no upsells, and no chatbot when you need help — just a real person in the Shuswap.
And we're more than a web design shop. Owning your website is just the start — we help you own your email, your files, your passwords, and your network too. Not sure where to begin? Start with The Privacy Diet, our free guide.

Advanced Services
More than a website.
We don't stop at websites. From self-hosted cloud storage to de-Googled phones, private password vaults to secure home networks — we help you move your whole digital life away from big tech. Your data stays yours, your costs stay low, and your setup stays local.
Self-Hosted Cloud Storage
Your own private Nextcloud installation — access, share, and sync your files from anywhere without feeding Dropbox or Google Drive a cent.
Ask about this →Self-Hosted Password Manager
A private Vaultwarden vault running on your own server. All your passwords, encrypted and accessible — with zero data sent to a third-party cloud.
Ask about this →VPN & Remote Access
Secure, encrypted access to your home or office network from anywhere in the world. Work remotely without trusting a commercial VPN provider.
Ask about this →Automated Backups
Encrypted, automated backups of your files, databases, and website — scheduled and verified so you're never caught out by hardware failure or ransomware.
Ask about this →Private Business Email
Professional email on your own domain, running on a proper mail server. No Gmail scanning your inbox, no data harvesting — just clean, fast email you control.
Ask about this →Linux Server & Home Lab Setup
Home server, VPS, or dedicated box — configured lean, secure, and reliable. Self-host as many services as you want under your own roof, on your own terms.
Ask about this →De-Googled Phone Setup
Tired of your phone tracking your every move? We flash a privacy-first Android OS — GrapheneOS or CalyxOS — onto a compatible Pixel device, stripping out Google's data collection while keeping everything you actually need. You get a phone that's genuinely yours again, with full guidance on what's changed and how to use it.
