BBurke Design~
WordPress Web Designer serving Surrey BC and the Lower Mainland. Professional, Approachable, Reliable!
I create clean, user-friendly websites that help businesses communicate clearly, build trust, and guide visitors naturally towards taking action.
Hollywood Driving Academy
The owner of Hollywood Driving Academy approached me shortly after purchasing the business, looking for help establishing a stronger brand identity and online presence from the ground up.
With only basic content, a preferred colour direction, and a desire to emphasize the business as female-owned and operated, she needed guidance transforming her ideas into a website that felt professional, trustworthy, inclusive, and welcoming to new drivers.
Through competitor research, thoughtful content development, and careful design planning, I created a website that communicates confidence and approachability while helping visitors easily navigate lesson options and key information.
- Designed a user-friendly website that guides potential students smoothly towards the right lesson package.

Peak Concrete Design
Peak approached me with a website that had become outdated, difficult to manage, and partially broken due to years without proper maintenance or updates.
My goal was to redesign the site into a cleaner, more modern experience that would better reflect the company’s professionalism while making important information easier for visitors to find.
The new website places a strong emphasis on content clarity, intuitive navigation, visual presentation of completed work, and strategically placed calls to action that guide visitors towards requesting a free quote or making contact.
- Completely redesigned a large, outdated, and difficult-to-navigate website into a modern, user-friendly platform with a cleaner visual identity and improved overall usability.
- Helped shape the company’s content strategy by identifying key information visitors needed most, including services, experience, specialties, service areas, and company strengths, while improving the flow towards contact.
- Improved on-page SEO and site structure through proper heading hierarchy, optimized image naming and alt tags, redirects from old URLs, and cleaner page organization for better usability and indexing.
Vacations On Wheels RV Club
I had the pleasure of building a new website for an RV Club, aimed at launching an innovative luxury concept in a competitive market.
To highlight the value of the Club to prospective members, it was important to create not only a beautiful and user-friendly site, but also one that would effectively educate them about the “what,” “why,” and “how” of this new service, and guide them towards membership.
- Refined and expanded upon the client’s content, favouring simple explanations to educate visitors on a unique RV industry concept.
- Created a visually engaging site with streamlined, intuitive navigation. The design tells a compelling story, helping visitors imagine exciting RV adventures and possibilities.
- Strategically placed calls to action throughout the site, naturally guiding users towards joining the Club on each page.
- Crafted complementary marketing assets (inc. business cards, pamphlets) to support the Club’s branding and outreach efforts.
ElectroSmog Abatement
A small business with the goal of raising awareness about the presence and dangers of electromagnetic radiation in our everyday environments.
My redesign completely transformed the company’s practically empty pages into a fully fleshed out website, with the content and visuals needed to hook, educate, and inspire their visitors to get in touch and take action against the invisible threat.

Georgeopoulos & Co.
An accounting firm and returning client, Georgeopolous & Co. were ready to refresh the website I originally built for them in 2015.
The new solution would feature a modernized design with eye-catching visuals, a form of social proof to boost credibility, and a means by which they could update content themselves post-launch.

Aceon Data Recovery
With over 20 years dedicated to recovering essential files and data from damaged devices, Aceon requires a trustworthy and reliable online image to attract quality leads and boost conversions.
The initial website, left untouched for months, faced challenges like broken links, missing content, and sluggish page loading. To elevate Aceon’s online presence, I undertook a comprehensive website overhaul, incorporating a fresh modern design, enhancing performance and security, and implementing SEO services.

Clearsight Solutions
I performed a full website redesign for a consulting firm specializing in data and analytics. Short on time, they needed a solution within 3 days, which I delivered complete with all the trimmings of aesthetics, performance, and security.
The intricate nature of Clearsight’s work requires much explanation for its value to be understood, and this makes for content that is heavy on complex reading material. As such, it was important for me to focus on breaking down each topic into well-organized, easily digestible pages and sections for a smooth user experience.
- Delivered a professional, contemporary design in line with the standards expected of any highly-respected tech company.
- Optimized page speeds through effective caching and image compression techniques.
- Implemented defensive measures including a firewall, malware scanner, and CAPTCHA software, to safeguard against malicious activities and spam.

Swingle Clinic specializes in neurotherapy services and treatments for brain and mental health. As part of a comprehensive rebrand for the Soundhealth Products division, they hired me to introduce the new SwingleSonic – NeuroDelve brand to the world.
My rework included modern design principles, a new banner for their flagship BRAIN CALM™ app, and enhanced features to better reflect the Clinic’s services.
