The Story Behind Island Web Assistant
Hi — I’m Alexey Polishchuk, founder of Island Web Assistant and a proud Vancouver Island resident since 2023.
Before I started building websites, I worked with my hands: at sawmills, carpentry shops, landscaping crews, solar installs — and I worked hard. I also worked in sales and management for years before coming to Canada. So I know both sides of the small business coin: the daily hustle, and the challenge of getting noticed.
After moving to Ladysmith in 2023, I saw a familiar pattern: great local businesses with strong work ethic — but no online presence, or worse, websites that were outdated, slow, or invisible. Some relied only on word of mouth. And for a while, that worked. But then the phones stopped ringing. I saw it firsthand in landscaping.
One of my former managers — a great team leader — told me that once they finally launched their website and cleaned up their social media, long-term clients started reaching out every month. A few simple online tools made a big difference. That’s what inspired me to act.
Because websites should bring in business — not just look good.
What I offer:Simple, modern websites that are easy to navigate and focused on conversion
Clear Google Business setup so your clients can actually find you
SEO basics and support that match your local goals (Nanaimo, Duncan, Victoria, Ladysmith)
Personalized help — no outsourcing, no jargon, no pressure
I bring a minimalist, user-focused design style that respects your brand, your time, and your clients’ attention. I build only what works — and make it simple for you to manage or hand off to your team. Whether you're a plumber, builder, artist, cleaner, or contractor — if you care about your work, I’ll help you show it online. Let’s turn your business into something people can find, trust, and contact — today.
