We had a fantastic experience working with this team to create our company's new website. From start to finish, they were highly communicative, professional, and easy to work with. What I appreciated most was how they took the lead and used their expertise to guide us through the process, helping turn our ideas into a polished final product. I especially recommend Celia and Jonathan. They took the random thoughts, words, and ideas I had and transformed them into the exact vision I was hoping for. Their creativity, knowledge, and attention to detail made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. I couldn't be happier with the end result and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a team that truly understands how to bring a vision to life.Posted on Google
Caroline Mac18 August 2026Very attentive and enthusiastic. No pressure sales, clear and prompt with results. Lina and Jonathan have been great to work with.Posted on Google
Bunny Doyle28 May 2026I had a brief and very enlightening conversation with Jonathan at Geeks on the Beach this morning. Jonathan opened my eyes - gently - to how I could improve my website to make it more impactful and more seen. After we spoke, he provided me with a point form list of priorities along with the reasons why they should be a priority. All in all, I would highly recommend, based on this interaction and previous ones, Geeks on the Beach as a brilliant partner for anyone seeking to improve their website and business overall!Posted on Google
Alan A.11 February 2026We recently launched our new website for Surfside Adventure Tours, designed by Lina at Geeks on the Beach. Lina created a clean, modern, and professional design that truly reflects our brand. From start to finish, she was thoughtful and detail-oriented, and it was a pleasure working with her. Jonathan and David also provided essential support throughout the project. Jonathan, in particular, has always been helpful and responsive whenever technical questions came up — even post-launch. The only recommendation I would offer for future improvement is around time tracking clarity. As a client, I wasn’t informed early enough about how many of the design hours had been used, or how many were remaining — that detail came toward the end of the project. It would be helpful to receive periodic updates on time usage since the agency manages the tracking. That said, this did not affect our overall satisfaction, and we’re still pleased to give them 5 stars. Their team continues to manage and maintain our website, and we’re confident we’re in good hands moving forward. Alan Owner, Surfside Adventure Tours Ltd. Victoria, BCPosted on Google
Kristina C5 February 2026Our team was looking for help in revamping a complex website for an international organization, and we started out with a lack of clarity about how to move forward. We're so glad we chose to work with Geeks on the Beach! They skillfully mapped out the project and helped us understand the high-level concepts as well as how those concepts applied to the design of the site. Celia worked with us to come up with solutions and implement every detail so that it worked for our audience. Their pricing is transparent so we were able to navigate how to stay within our budget. We also appreciated that they had a whole range of expertise among their staff, so that they could support us on a flexible, ongoing basis after the new website went live. We highly recommend working with them!Posted on Google
Eric Smith16 January 2026I recently had an excellent experience with Geeks on the Beach. My website was facing a severe malware infection and a "White Screen of Death" that other providers wouldn't touch. Jonathan Michaels was absolutely excellent—he was professional, knowledgeable. It is such a relief to find a local BC team that provides this level of human support and technical expertise. I highly recommend them to any business owner dealing with website or email issues.Posted on Google
Mauricio Garcia-Barrera18 November 2025For a research project with a team of researchers from the University of Victoria and the University of British Columbia (in Canada), we connected with Geeks on the Beach seeking support with the design of our final research report, and for the creation of a visualization to capture our key findings. They fully delivered! They were very accommodating to the limitations of working under a research budget, they took great care of understanding the need and expectations during the planning stage and quite open to receiving feedback and changes as the design project unfolded, offering creative solutions and not hesitating once to meet our needs. The outcome speaks by itself, we are impressed and excited to share the 24-page, magazine style report with Government and the public at large. Working with Dionne and Jonathan was a delight, their commitment to see this through was remarkable. Dionne's and Ivette's creativity and ability to translate our vision made a great contribution to the outcome. I highly recommend Geeks on the Beach, for their exceptional and over 100% delivery. I would give them an A+ if I was grading them here. Much appreciated the experience and we are now budgeting them for the next research projects to come.+0Posted on Google
NorthSaanichCurrents5 November 2025Thanks to everyone on the Geeks team. We are a non-profit society and are not experts in web design by any stretch of the imagination. Geeks successfully translated our vision into a website that reflects our purpose. After the beautiful site had been developed, Lina was a patient teacher with respect to training our newly minted 'webmaster' point person, who is now able to handle our daily/weekly tasks easily. Lina also prepared a series of personalized videos (Looms) that she encapsulated into one place for us that enable us to learn and improve quickly. Lina then managed the integration with the web host, and set us up with basic analytics, which is perfect for us. Thank you Geeks!Posted on Google

Gregory Kuhn8 September 2025As the Director, Philanthropy & Communications at Mount St Mary Hospital, I have worked with Geeks on the Beach to redo our website - a complete makeover. They were amazing to work with. They understand collaboration well and made a few suggestion that made an impact They also took into account Search Engine Optimization (something that we didn't even consider at the beginning of the project) and ensured that our website was both computer and cell phone compatible. I couldn't recommend Jonathan and Celia enough. They understood when the project slowed down on our end and we patient and worked through our issues to ensure we had the best product. Also the pricing was very fair - if you are searching for a web developer - give them a call!Posted on Google

I have always been thrilled with the work and the high level of communication.

Ann Carnaby8 May 2022About 12 years ago I needed a major upgrade to my "starter" website for my business. I asked a friend who said "call Jonathan at Geeks on the Beach". I said I can't do that - he's too far away, not even in this country, his logo is too silly... "He's a geek" I was told. My business is too unique & needs special attention... "He's a Geek" I was told - he knows how to do all that Geeky stuff, so I spoke with Jonathan, and sure enough, he seemed to be Very Geeky, and more important, he was Patient and most of all he Listened to me. He has kept on LISTENing to me for all these years - when I'd screw up something he'd not only fix it, he'd teach me how to not do that again. When I needed to add a store he did it, whatever my growing business needed he'd make it happen - add more pictures, change this or that part - he always listened to what I thought I needed or wanted, and then put his whole teams' expertise to work creating what was always the best solution for my business. Geeks are great - these GEEKS are the best!Posted on Google

Patricia Supplee19 March 2021Kudos to Jonathan Michaels’, founder of Geeks on the Beach! During the process of our website design, he encouraged us and built our confidence in Energizing Young Voters and its mission - developing lifelong civic engagement in young people. Jonathan's capacity to validate the contributions of other organizations through personal interaction with clients -- and of course to deliver a website that conveys our distinctiveness in the world - is leadership in the best sense of the word. Clearly, Jonathan has created a culture at Geeks on the Beach that supports and encourages the best in his staff. We counted on them and were validated in that confidence as the Geeks used their time, attention, and creativity to produce a website conveying the importance of our world-facing image –and that gets us clicks and contacts! Thank you isn't a big enough word.Posted on Google
