About Ketweb

One studio, two kinds of problem.

Ketweb Studio helps people in the Fraser Valley and Metro Vancouver with technology — the everyday kind at home, and the kind that decides whether a business wins work or wastes hours. It is the same skill applied at two very different scales.

Why both, and not one or the other.

On paper, fixing a laptop and building an integration between a CRM and an accounting system have nothing in common. In practice they start identically: someone describes a problem in their own words, and the job is to work out what is actually happening underneath.

The two sides also feed each other. Explaining things to someone who does not work in technology is the best possible training for writing a proposal a business owner can actually evaluate. And knowing how software fails in the real world is what stops a home network being over-engineered.

Most technology businesses pick a lane because it is easier to market. Keeping both is a deliberate decision about what the work should feel like, not an inability to specialise.

How Ketweb works

Principles, in the sense of things that cost money to hold.

Anyone can list values. These are the ones that regularly mean recommending less work than could be sold.

Explain it, do not perform it
Technical language is used when it is the accurate word, not when it is the impressive one. If an explanation leaves you unable to make a decision, the explanation failed.
The cheapest fix that actually works
Recommending a smaller piece of work costs revenue today and builds the only thing that matters over a decade in a community this size.
No lock-in
You own the code, the accounts and the hosting. Ongoing support should be something you choose, never something engineered into the project.
Say when it is not worth it
Some automations cost more than they save. Some websites do not need rebuilding. Saying so is part of the job.
Build it to be maintained
Mainstream, documented technology over clever technology. In three years the question is who can maintain it, not how interesting it was to write.
Two divisions, one standard
A senior doing a home visit for a stuck printer gets the same care as a six-figure integration. Different scope, same approach.

What you can count on

The parts that do not change between jobs.

Local
Based in Abbotsford, serving homes and businesses across the Fraser Valley, Metro Vancouver and the Lower Mainland.
Direct
You work with the person who designs and implements your solution — not a call centre or a handover chain.
Practical
Technology is chosen because it solves your problem, not because it is the trend of the moment.
Ongoing
Ketweb stays available after the work is finished, for the follow-up questions that always come later.

Ketweb is deliberately small. You deal with the same person from the first message through to the work being finished — there is nobody to be handed off to.

The process

What working with Ketweb looks like.

  1. 01

    Tell us what is going wrong

    A short conversation about the problem in ordinary language. No technical vocabulary required, and no obligation.

  2. 02

    We work out what is actually needed

    Sometimes that is a one-hour fix. Sometimes it is a website, an automation or a piece of software. You get an honest answer either way.

  3. 03

    We build it and explain it

    The work gets done, and you get a clear explanation of what changed and why — in writing where it helps.

  4. 04

    We stay reachable

    Questions after the fact are normal. You will be talking to the same person who did the work.
