  • Work directly with the developer

~/services

Whatever you need built, we build it.

We're a full custom development studio, not just a website shop. If it runs on a computer, a phone or a browser, we can design it, code it and keep it running.

Custom software & programs

Tools built around how your business runs: internal systems, desktop programs, automations that replace hours of manual work, and integrations that make your apps talk to each other.

  • Internal tools
  • Automations
  • Integrations & APIs

Web & mobile apps

Booking systems, client portals, dashboards, and apps for iPhone and Android. Real products your customers and team will actually enjoy using.

  • Web apps
  • iOS & Android
  • Portals & dashboards

Websites & redesigns

Fast, modern, hand-coded websites and online stores. Got an outdated site? We'll rebuild it into something that loads fast and brings in customers.

  • Business sites
  • Redesigns
  • Online stores

Hosting, care & support

After launch, we keep everything running: hosting, updates, backups, fixes and new features, on one simple monthly plan. You focus on your business.

  • Hosting
  • Maintenance
  • New features

Agency-quality work. Not agency prices.

Modern tools and a lean team mean we can build custom software for a lot less than a traditional agency, without cutting corners.

The usual way

  • Big-agency pricing
  • Templates and drag-and-drop builders
  • Account managers between you and the work
  • Surprise invoices for every change
  • You wait weeks for simple answers

The Westbound way

  • Very competitive pricing, quoted upfront
  • Custom code, built for your business
  • Talk directly to the developer building it
  • Clear scope, so no surprises
  • Live preview links as we build

~/about

Hi, I'm Joshua.

I founded Westbound Studio to give businesses a better option for custom development. Too many good companies are stuck with outdated websites, clunky tools or hours of manual work, usually because the last developer charged them a fortune.

I build custom software, apps and websites with modern tools and a lean setup, so my clients get high-quality work at a price that makes sense. You work with me directly, from the first call to launch day and beyond.

Where we work

  • Canada
  • United States
  • Remote, worldwide

Wherever you're based, distance is never a problem. We work fully remote, with video calls, quick replies and live preview links, so you can see progress from anywhere.
