About

Hi, I’m Joel McCann, a Toronto-based full-stack web designer and developer with over a decade of experience delivering WordPress sites, e-commerce solutions, and custom web applications. I enjoy turning complex requirements into clean, responsive interfaces and robust back-end systems, collaborating with teams to ship reliable, user-friendly digital products.

When I’m not coding, I’m exploring new design tools and technologies, optimizing performance and accessibility, and helping clients and agencies achieve their online goals through thoughtful design and solid engineering.
