Built for your business ✳ Easy to use ✳ Room to grow
01 / SELECTED WORK
Different businesses need different websites. Explore two original concepts, each built around a different kind of customer.
Make room
for outside.
Landscaping · Services & quote enquiries
A good day
starts here.
Neighbourhood café · Menu, hours & location
These are design demonstrations for fictional businesses, not client projects. The artwork is illustrative.
02 / THE STARTING POINT
Just getting started or ready for a refresh? Choose the amount of space your business needs. We’ll agree on the details before work begins.
A focused online home that gets the important things right.
Dedicated pages to tell your story and explain what you do.
Optional Website Care: up to 30 minutes of minor content updates and a basic site check each month. Scheduled around after-hours availability; unused time doesn’t roll over.
No surprises in the small print. Prices are in Canadian dollars. Domain registration, hosting, business email, applicable taxes, and third-party subscriptions are separate. Client hosting arrangements are agreed per project.
You supply your business information and photos, or we agree on suitable imagery. Photo sessions, online stores, custom booking systems, advanced integrations, full branding, and major redesigns are quoted separately. Typical payment terms: 50% deposit, with the balance due before launch or handover.
03 / THE REST OF THE PICTURE
A useful mix of creative and technical skills, without the need to coordinate a whole agency. Available by request and quoted separately.
Original photos of your location, products, people, or work. Captured with my Sony a6700 and prepared for your website or marketing.
A different perspective for suitable projects. Available by request, subject to location, flight conditions, and applicable requirements.
Social graphics, short-form video editing, and promotional visuals that give your business a consistent presence beyond its website.
Help organizing your services, refining your wording, and making sense of the digital tools behind your online presence.
04 / THE PERSON BEHIND THE PIXELS
I’m Tim Rudkin, the person behind Zen After Hours. A creative problem-solver with a practical streak, based in Cobourg, Ontario.
My background combines dealership marketing, website management, digital content creation, and IT. My day-to-day work spans photography, video, social media, website troubleshooting, and finding practical ways to make technology useful.
Zen After Hours brings those skills together for local small businesses. I like figuring out what a business actually needs, then making something that looks good and works well.
You work directly with me, from the first conversation through to launch. I take on a manageable number of projects outside my full-time hours, primarily evenings and weekends, with timelines and communication agreed up front.
Save my contact details05 / HOW IT HAPPENS
Clear steps, regular check-ins, and no need to arrive with all the answers.
Tell me about your business, your customers, and what you want the website to do.
We agree on scope, content, timeline, and price. Your deposit books the project.
I put the site together. You review it, with two consolidated rounds of revisions.
We check the details, launch your site, and make sure you know what happens next.
I use a combination of hands-on experience and modern tools, including AI assistance where appropriate, for planning, content, design, and development. I review and refine the finished work. Prefer no AI-generated imagery? We can use your own photography, a photo session, or appropriately licensed stock, with any costs agreed in advance.
