Blais.io is a small, family owned business operated by myself, Chad Blais. As a small business owner myself, I know how difficult it can be to find time to do just about anything other than the day-to-day tasks that are involved in running a business. That's where I come in.
With more than 10 years of experience, I can help with web-related tasks like:
I built my first website for a client over 15 years ago. It was a small project for a local recording artist that would pale by today's standard of modern website. However, it was fun to build and a great learning experience.
In the time since then I've worked on countless sites in a number of different industries. I've completed a wide variety of web-related projects including writing content, search engine optimization, webmaster tasks and full website builds.
What I really enjoy, however, is helping small businesses grow via the web. I truly believe that every company, from the one-man shop to the largest corporations, should have - and in fact needs to have - a website.
Let me help you build your online presence through your business' website.
I'm originally from New England, but I'm a graduate of Bridgewater College and have lived in the Shenandoah Valley ever since. I live (& work) just outside of Broadway, Virginia with my wonderful wife and 2 amazing kids. We also have a very energetic dog named Ayeka, chickens, bunnies and lots of salt water fish. We stay quite busy! (Copious amounts of coffee helps.)
When I'm not building amazing websites I enjoy martial arts, music and spending time with my family.
Contact me!I truly take pride in the sites that I build and maintain. Below are some of
the features that I try to incorporate into my work.
A fast-loading website isn't just nice to have, it's completely necessary!
Google has said that they now index sites mobile-first. Is your site ready?
High-quality sites with good content rank much better in search results.
Quality code & hosting help ensure that your site is "up" as much as possible.
I utilize elegant yet simple & functional design so you'll absolutely love your site.
You may find cheaper developers, but my goal is to offer exceptional value.
Here are a few of the projects I was given the opportunity to work on.
I'd love the chance to speak with you about your next project!
These are a selection of the coding languages and software that I typically work with.
