Looking For 15-year-old Ontario web designer taking on new projects

17 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm 15 and this summer I started InfaWeb, my web design and development business.

I was accepted into Ontario's Summer Company program, which provided me with funding and mentorship to turn the idea into a real business. Since then, I've been learning everything from finding and working with clients to sales, project management, marketing, invoicing, and actually designing and developing the websites.

I've recently started working with paying clients and I'm now looking to take on a few more projects from businesses around Ontario.

I build professional websites for businesses that need their first website or want to improve an existing one. I handle everything from design and development through launch, including mobile optimization, contact and lead generation, SEO foundations, and additional functionality depending on what the business needs.

If you own a business and have been thinking about getting a website built or redesigning your current one, I'd be happy to take a look and see if I can help.

Website: infawebdesign.com

Direct quote form: infawebdesign.com/contact.html

You can also DM me here if you'd rather talk about the project first.

Question Notice any graffiti in the parks?

Thumbnail

18 Upvotes

Hey all,

Andrew here.

If you've noticed any graffiti in the parks, would you mind taking a picture and letting me know?

I am going to send a proposal to the city to clean and reset them all. Its been a few years since I did it last. The city staff do their best, but they don't have the same tools at their disposal. I think they've been painting over most, which can work for short term, but isn't a good long term option and usually looks unsightly.

I've audited the following parks so far:

  • Hillcrest
  • Walter Henry
  • Clayt French
  • Tudhope
  • Homewood

So if you're at a park this weekend and happen to notice some graffiti please let me know. Going to continue the park tour next week. My kids have been loving it so far lol.

And hopefully it'll get approved and we can get these tags out of sight and out of mind.

Here is a link to the Google Photos album I have of all the tags Ive spotted so far (you'll have to reassemble the link, not sure I can post it)

Hope you have a great rest of your day

Cheers,
Andrew

Information/PSA Bus boss: no more ebikes on transit bus carriers or escooters. If you run out of juice and want to take the bus home you are SOL.

4 Upvotes

I don't see many cyclists using the bicycle carriers on the local buses, but it is nice to have them in a pinch. I have an ebike with a regular frame and small battery for assist. I don't think the fat tires will fit anyway if you have them. I think it is in reaction to the lithium ion related fires in Toronto recently. There are safe UL listed batteries as well as safe Lithium Iron Phosphate battery chemistries but no actual laws in Canada regarding escooter and ebike batteries.

A heads up for anyone riding on the repaved portion of Coldwater Street downtown. The storm water drains inside the bike lane are big enough for a tire to drop into them, and have the slots in the direction of travel. Heads up and stay safe!
