Don Smokey · Founder
Meet the founder

Hi, I'm Don Smokey

Founder, JW SmartSite Solutions

I built this company from the ground up right here in Saskatoon. After 11 years across finance, SaaS, marketing, and tech, I saw that businesses in Saskatoon and across Canada deserved websites that actually work — sites that load fast, rank on Google, and turn visitors into paying customers. So in 2019, I launched JW SmartSite Solutions to do exactly that.

My team and I specialize in custom WordPress design (we work with other CMS platforms too, depending on your needs), local SEO, on-page and off-page SEO, and AI search optimization for businesses across Saskatchewan and Canada. Every project gets my personal attention — no junior hand-offs, no cookie-cutter templates.

When I'm not building websites, you'll find me exploring the Meewasin river valley, taking long walks, playing lawn tennis, or coaching people on how search really works. Saskatoon is home, and helping local businesses thrive here is what drives me and my team.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What services does JW SmartSite Solutions offer?
JW SmartSite Solutions offers custom web design, WordPress development, local SEO, on-page and technical SEO, off-page SEO, and AI search optimization (AEO). We build fast, search-ready websites for small and local businesses in Saskatoon and across Saskatchewan, and offer ongoing maintenance plans to keep them secure and up to date.
How long does a website project take?
Most website projects take 3 to 6 weeks from kickoff to launch, depending on the number of pages, content readiness, and features. A simple business website can go live in as little as 2 to 3 weeks, while larger sites with custom functionality take longer. We give you a clear timeline at the start of every project.

What makes JW SmartSite Solutions different from other Saskatoon web designers?
Three things: you work directly with the founder (no junior hand-offs or account managers), every site is SEO-first and structured to rank from day one, and we optimize for AI answer engines like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews — not just traditional Google search. We build custom, never templates.
