OwnersDepot

I developed OwnersDepot as a practical editorial resource for Canadian homeowners planning maintenance, improvements and conversations with contractors. The design combines an approachable publication with tools that help a reader prepare a project brief.

Project brief

What I created and why it matters

My role: Concept, design and frontend implementation
Idea: Help homeowners prepare for maintenance and improvement decisions.
Audience: Canadian homeowners planning work on their property.
Goal: Make useful guidance and a project brief easier to assemble.
Distinctive approach: A newspaper-like publication paired with a local project planner.
Design: Black-and-yellow masthead, condensed headlines and an asymmetric three-column hero.
Technology: HTML · CSS · JavaScript · Node.js static generation · Cloudflare Pages

THE ASSIGNMENT

The project and its purpose.

THE SOLUTION

What I designed and implemented.

I implemented the approved newspaper-style direction as a responsive static portal: a black-and-yellow masthead, asymmetric editorial layout, topic navigation, searchable guides and a browser-local project planner. The planner keeps working notes on the reader’s device and can export a text brief.

THE OUTCOME

Homeowner publication launched

The editorial website is publicly available at ownersdepot.ca. The checked production homepage matches the approved newspaper-style presentation and includes the guide and project-planning routes. The planner is a local preparation tool; contractor delivery and other external integrations are separate work.
