Caprina Valentine is a young, award-winning web developer and designer with 10 years experience developing high-quality websites for clients in a range of industries on Vancouver Island and beyond. I design and build websites both for direct-to-client and subcontract to web development firms. I also work with graphic designers to realize a cooperative vision that will work effectively on the internet. This means I have experience working in a team environment as well as running a one-woman show. It also means that my clients receive the benefits of a design-firm-type professional, without the costly overhead or bureaucracy. You're dealing with one dedicated person.

I prefer to design and create websites for environmentally and ethically responsible ventures similar to Organic Fair and Mama Elle (see portfolio). If this is you, please contact me for a free quote. I'd love to help you get more exposure and make a living being green!

I offer complete, custom, and creative website development backed by standards-compliant XHTML & CSS, which results in a website that is user-friendly, search engine friendly, and cross platform compatible while representing your company identity.

TallSky Consulting Group

Client: TallSky Consulting Group (Victoria, BC)
Project: Identity, Logo, Business Cards, Website Design & Development

Owner and principal consultant Eileen Harper was concerned that her old website was becoming a liability to her growing business.

Launched October 2008.

Fringe 2008

Client: Victoria Fringe Theatre Festival (Victoria, BC)
Project: Website Design & Development

Four years running and we're still keeping it FRESH! This year's Fringe website was a bit of a challenge, as Rayola held over the same identity from last year. (And I took advantage of my festival passes this year, seeing literally HALF the Fringe: 25 shows plus the ad-hoc Caberet. A great Fringe this year!)
