I'm Jason. I've spent fifteen years building software for health systems and small businesses, and I host hundreds of production sites on infrastructure I run myself. If you need a website, an AI automation, or your cloud sorted out, you deal with me directly.
Since 2011building software people rely on
ERstat.camy live ER wait-times site, checked daily across Nova Scotia
Hundreds of siteshosted on AWS and Cloudflare infrastructure I manage
Everything here starts with a free phone call and ends with a flat written quote. That's true for a two-page website and it's true for a six-month build.
Most owners suspect AI could save them time somewhere. This audit finds out where, and whether it's worth the money.
Flat fee, quoted up front
A site that loads fast, shows up on Google, and doesn't fall over.
Flat build fee plus monthly care
For the jobs where off-the-shelf software runs out.
Scoped and quoted per project
A free 20-minute phone call. Bring whatever keeps not getting done, whether that's quoting, double bookings, or a website that hasn't changed since 2014.
Scope, price, and timeline in writing before any work starts. If I'm not the right fit for the job, I'll say so and point you at who is.
I ship it, walk you through it, and keep it running under a care plan. Years later, the person answering your questions is still me.
Shipwright Digital is me, Jason Turnbull. I've spent fifteen years building software other people depend on: national health platforms, ERstat.ca, and the AWS and Cloudflare infrastructure behind hundreds of production websites.
The name is a standard I try to hold myself to. A shipwright's work has to survive years of weather with somebody's livelihood aboard, and I think websites and servers deserve the same seriousness. Mine are built to still be running, quietly and without drama, a decade from now.
Based in Nova Scotia, working with businesses across the province.
I quote a flat price in writing before any work starts, and that's what you pay. For scale, a straightforward small-business website is a few days of my time. You'll know the exact number before you commit to anything.
Some of it is hype and some of it is quietly very useful. AI is already good at drafting quotes, answering repeat questions, and reading invoices into your books. Whether it helps your business is exactly what the audit answers, and if the answer is no, the report will say so.
No. I work with businesses across Nova Scotia, mostly remotely, and I'll come to you around Halifax and Dartmouth when sitting down together helps. Hosting and integration clients can be anywhere in Canada.
You do. The domain is registered in your name and the content is yours. If you ever want to move on, I hand you a complete copy of the site and we part on good terms.
I do, personally. Nothing is subcontracted and there's no account manager between us. You talk to the person writing the code.
The call is free and takes 20 minutes. Worst case, you leave with a clearer picture of the problem.
