About

Built by someone who'll actually answer your emails.

Hi, I'm Lucas — a third-year student at Dalhousie University, and the person who'll actually build your site. No account managers, no outsourced developers, no runaround.

Most small businesses around Halifax don't need a big agency. They need a clean, fast website that shows up when someone searches for what they do, priced fairly for a small business. Being a student keeps the price down — it doesn't mean the work is any less serious. Every site is built to load quickly, look right on a phone, and bring in search traffic that turns into real customers.

Get Found Coastal Websites is just getting started, so this space is still waiting for its first review. If you're a client, I'd genuinely appreciate a few words about the site once it's live for your business.

Good questions

A few things people usually ask.

Do I need to know anything technical?

No. I handle the design, the build, the domain, and getting it live. You just tell me about your business.

How much does it cost?

A flat $150 to design, build, and launch your site, then $15 a month after that to keep it hosted and up to date. No hourly billing, no surprise fees.

What if I need changes after the site is live?

Small updates and changes are part of the service. Just message me and I'll get it sorted.

Will my site actually show up on Google?

I build in the basics that give you a real shot — proper structure, business information, and local SEO setup. Ranking well over time also depends on reviews and how established your business is online, but you'll be starting from a strong foundation.

Do you build cheap websites for small businesses?

Yes — affordable pricing is the whole point. At $150 to launch and $15 a month after, it's built to be one of the cheapest ways for a small business in Halifax or Dartmouth to get a fully custom, professional site, without cutting corners on quality.
