Ord Digital

Based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Ord Digital is the independent practice of Greg Ord, who has worked in web design and development for over two decades and operated independently since 2014. Most clients are based in Nova Scotia, though the practice takes on work from across Canada. Client work centres on consulting firms, arts organizations and not-for-profits, and event and festival websites — organizations that typically manage their own content in-house or work with a separate content creator. As a solo operation, Greg Ord acts as web consultant, designer and developer on each project, a setup he describes as workable even for larger projects, aided in recent years by AI tools. The core offering is custom website design and development built on Craft CMS, alongside SEO, digital strategy, and UX/UI design. The stated working method emphasizes prototyping: rather than finalizing a design upfront, a working wireframe site is typically put on staging early in the process so clients can test the admin panel and begin adding content before launch. The underlying focus is on content management — building sites that non-technical teams can update easily without requiring design or development skills, on the premise that a website's effectiveness depends on how well its content can be maintained after launch. Engagement starts with a free consultation or intro call to discuss project scope, budget, and timeline.
