It Wasn’t Always About Web Design

Before starting Mary Newell Creative, I spent more than 30 years in government — building systems, solving problems, and learning the value of clear communication. Along the way, I also gave back to my community here in Victoria, BC, from local sports groups to housing co-ops.

That experience taught me how to blend organization, creativity, and practicality — the same mix I bring to every web design project. I know technology can feel overwhelming, so I make the process simple, collaborative, and even fun (usually over coffee in my favourite pink mug).

You deserve a website that feels right — one that’s functional, personal, and unmistakably yours. My goal is to make web design in Victoria, BC approachable and rewarding, so you can focus on what you do best while your site quietly does its job.

Kind Words from My Clients

From coast to coast — Nova Scotia to Victoria — I’ve had the joy of working with small businesses who care as much about their clients as I do about mine.

Highly recommend her if you want someone who gets small business and delivers results…

Mary was exactly what our business needed. She took our outdated website and completely transformed it—clean, modern, and easy to navigate. She quickly understood both sides of our business—Cocoa Pesto Catering and the Food Shoppe—and gave us the perfect mix of personality and professionalism. Communication was smooth, and every detail was handled with care and confidence. Our clients love the new look, and we finally feel proud to send people to our site. We’ve continued working with Mary on design updates and are excited to see where she takes things next—especially as we look to move everything to Canadian hosting. Highly recommend her if you want someone who gets small business and delivers results.

— Scott Geddes, Owner, Cocoa Pesto Catering & The Food Shoppe

I’ve seen a real boost in both new and returning clients…

I didn’t think I needed a website, but after connecting with Mary, I quickly realized how crucial an online presence is. The process was easy and collaborative, and the result was a sleek, professional site that perfectly reflects my business.

Thanks to the user-friendly design, I’ve seen a real boost in both new and returning clients. I highly recommend Mary for any small business owner looking to elevate their brand with a stunning, functional website!

Her expertise, creativity and technological savvy…

For years I have struggled creating and maintaining my website. I did not have enough technological knowledge in order to do the professional job I wanted. Mary has been a godsend! Her expertise, creativity and technological savvy has totally transformed my website into something streamlined, professional and ever so easy on the eyes! Her attention to detail is outstanding and creative ideas have always been on point. I am so grateful to have Mary on board as she has ensured my website stands out and impresses!
