About
Hi, I’m Jody.
I’m a web designer, SEO specialist and logo designer based in Calgary, Alberta, and the one person behind Gristwood Design.
I help small and growing businesses look as good online as they are in real life. That might be a personal website for a musician just starting out, a national brand that needs a full e-commerce store, or anything in between.
Whether you’ve never had a web presence or you’ve been in business for years and your site needs a modern refresh, I’ll design something that fits your business, works beautifully on every device, and is built to show up on Google.
Once your site is live, I can help you grow with search engine optimization, social media setup and blog writing, and I offer ongoing support so your site stays secure, backed up and up to date.

How I work
The principles behind every project, big or small.
Direct, always
You deal with me from the first call to long after launch. No hand-offs, no account managers, no getting lost in a queue.
Mobile-first
Most people will meet your business on a phone. I design for that screen first, then scale up, never the other way round.
Built to be found
Design and SEO aren’t separate jobs. Every site I build has search optimization baked into its structure.
In it for the long run
After launch I’m here for updates, security, backups and growth, for as long as you need me.
Available for new projects
Let’s build something
Tell me a little about your business and what you need. You’ll hear back from me personally, not a sales team.
