Will Robinson

Web designer and developer. Founder of Good Websites.

Summary

Will Robinson is a Toronto designer, developer and founder who designs, builds and launches websites, brands, businesses and events. He founded B9 Digital, Good Websites and Buffee's Coffee. Since 2020 he has designed or built twenty-one published client websites for musicians, production companies, therapists and health practices, non-profits, startups and design studios, and for more than seven years he has combined that hands-on work with sales and account management: finding clients, understanding what their business needs, designing and building the site, and looking after the account afterwards. He works in Webflow and in hand-written HTML, CSS and JavaScript, hosts on Cloudflare, and builds every site so that people, search engines and AI answer engines can all read it. He runs Good Websites, a subscription web design service for practitioners and small businesses, and is an approved partner of the Ontario Association of Naturopathic Doctors. He has published two photo books and a children's book through BMX and creative projects, and spent five years co-building the largest street BMX event in Canada.
