I chose Jef from BaoB to build the new Tenix website, partly because his prices made sense, and mostly because of his energy and knowledge of what makes a website great. I found him on LinkedIn and loved his approach. His way of communicating was refreshing. He came across as practical, honest, and like he’d actually be fun to work with.

From the start, Jef was upfront about what he could do and where he’d need to poke around, experiment, or figure things out as we went. I liked that he was a one-man show and that we would build the website together as a team, rather than working with an agency that would impose more rigid frameworks and a narrower delivery scope.

Throughout the project, Jef was professional, thoughtful, and full of great ideas. He managed to take what I had in my head (sometimes clear, sometimes not-so-clear) and turn it into a website that presents Tenix as a leader in its category (which it is). We made it crystal clear what the product does, who it’s for, and the operational benefits of using it.

The aim was always to create a site that’s simple, clear, easy to navigate, and designed for conversion, and that’s exactly what we got. The new site has given me a solid base for building marketing programs, and has provided sales with an excellent tool for customer communication. The Tenix team now has a company showcase they can feel proud of.

Jef is generous with his know-how and experience in SEO, AI, and the little tricks that make a website work better. He goes the extra mile to help his clients achieve their goals.

I highly recommend Jef to anyone looking for a thoughtful, highly capable partner to bring a new website to life.

Working with BOAB was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Jef was so personal and supportive throughout the process that I was always confident I was getting exactly what I wanted for my business. I am proud of the website I have now and would highly recommend connecting with BOAB if you are wanting to enhance your businesses online presence.

Jef built me a beautiful functional website that’s improved my lead generation and traffic!

I made a hot mess trying to DIY my website and I didn’t know enough to hire a random freelancer to fix it. From concept to the final product, Jef helped me plan and execute an easy-to-use, SEO-friendly website I'm proud to show to people. Plus, I don’t need an IT background to confidently manage it myself!

Jef also offered great advice to improve the user experience so I could attract more visitors and ultimately more leads. Since working with Jef, I’ve seen a 71% increase in monthly traffic to my site. Jef is solid!

I came to Jef with only a name and idea for 'Plantrs' our new eco-friendly recruitment agency. From this Jef built our entire brand and website from scratch incorporating everything we wanted and much more besides.

His attention to detail is matched only by his creativity and passion for fulfilling his clients needs and creating great websites and excellent copy. You can come to Jef with only a vague objective and after the creative process is done, leave with a brand and website your competitors will fear.

Jef is a rockstar! He helped us build a website for our psychology services in Toronto that got many positive reviews who shared these insights directly in person. In fact, the site and booking forms have generated 100s of inbound referrals. I was surprised that we even got a referral the very next day the site went live!"

"Jef built a website that served us well in portraying the overall brand attributes of our psychology services in Toronto. We continue to receive more than 15 new inbound referrals every month which keeps us at full capacity! I definitely recommend Jef for building a website for your business. He's genuine, honest, and top-notch!

I have enjoyed working alongside Build An Online Business while creating the website for Stelvio Equipment. Jef is very easy to work with and takes the time to work with you to sort out issues instead of leaving you hanging. I couldn't have done without the support not only through the project but even after my site went live. I would definitely recommend Build An Online Business to anyone.

Hiring Jef to design and build a WordPress website for my brand new elder care company was the single best decision I could have made.

Not only did Jef design and build a beautiful and easy to use website for my business, but he also designed the logo for my company, wrote all of the copy for the website, and even created a free, downloadable and printable information brochure.

Jef has provided me with all the help I’ve needed in starting my business from the very beginning. I am so grateful!! Build An Online Business is the best!!
