The short version

A decade of building for Canadian operators.

Cody founded TheBomb® in 2014. In the years since, he has built custom websites for operators of every kind: local trades in the Okanagan, manufacturers shipping continent-wide, wineries, healthcare practices, and SaaS launches.

He works hands-on across the whole stack, from conversion-first design to hand-written code on the Cloudflare edge, so the sites the studio ships load fast, rank well, and stay up.

When he is not building, he writes. Most of the guides on the Bomb Blog come straight from the Spallumcheen desk, just north of Vernon.
