Ryan WhyteOwner & Lead Developer
The Developer Behind Your Website
I'm Ryan Whyte — a Computer Science graduate from Carleton University, professional application developer, and the founder of Ghost Harbor Web Solutions.
I started Ghost Harbor because I kept seeing the same problem play out for small business owners in Ottawa and beyond: spend thousands upfront on a website you can't easily update, or settle for a drag-and-drop template that looks like everyone else's. Neither option felt right to me.
So I built something different.
Every Ghost Harbor website is hand-coded from scratch — no WordPress, no page builders, no recycled templates. That means faster load times, cleaner code, stronger SEO, and a site that's actually built around your business instead of squeezed into someone else's framework.
With years of professional experience spanning front-end and back-end development, UI/UX design, and quality assurance, I bring the same standards I apply in enterprise software to every small business project I take on. The difference is, you get that level of care starting at just $177 per month.
Your website should be the hardest-working part of your marketing — not something you have to worry about. I handle the design, development, hosting, updates, and support so you can stay focused on your customers.
