How Can I Help?

As a modern online business, there’s nothing more essential to Pangolia’s success than your websites and the content you fill them with.

As your developer and designer, I understand the numerous responsibilities I have and the essential role I will play in helping you to continuously achieve that success and then work together with the team to take it to the next level.

High
Performing

Well Designed

New Visitors

Engaged

When a new visitor finds their way to one of your sites, they need to be met with a high performing, well designed page that will grab their attention and effortlessly guide them to the content they’re looking for.

Since web users are notoriously impatient, your pages need to be designed in such a way that will grab their attention and peak their interest from the very first moment they arrive on your site.

They need to be intrigued enough with what they see in the first few seconds to make them curious enough to keep exploring the site.

If they aren’t feeling engaged or entertained, they’ll be quickly jumping back to Tik-Tok or the latest videos on YouTube.

CSS

Animations

Elementor

Javascript

In the hero section at the top of this site, I used a combination of lightweight Lottie animation files along with some pure CSS animations and native Elementor scrolling effects.

As you move down the page, you’ll notice that the logo in the top right corner of the screen transitions between white and green to keep it visible as the white and green background colors scroll behind it. This effect was achieved using Javascript and CSS.

The various scrolling, scaling and opacity effects in the different sections on the page were achieved using Elementors own built in features but could also be done with some Javascript and CSS. 

Your Business

Being a business that focuses on educational content style sites, one of Pangolia’s most important goals will always be to keep Google’s algorithms happy in order to keep you ranking high in the search results. That means that a balance will always need to be struck between how many “extras” can be added to the design and flow of the page, and how the site performance and loading times look in Google’s page speed insights.

Luckily, there are countless resources out there from a lot of smart developers who are constantly sharing new and innovative ways to accomplish a lot of these fun features while at the same time keeping your page fast and lightweight and keeping Google happy.
Finding and experimenting with these innovative solutions is something I love spending my time doing.

Striking that balance between eye catching, engaging style features and page speed and performance is something that is absolutely accomplishable today when done correctly.

I would love to have the opportunity to work for you and put what I know and what I’m continuously learning into practice in your projects.

Thank you for taking the time to have a look at this site.

I have a huge passion for web design, development and everything creative and technical.

I would love to be able to put that passion to work for Pangolia and help your team continue to succeed.

Thank you

I’m 35 years old and I was born and raised on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada.

I currently spend my time living between Canada and Thailand and I plan to continue doing this for the foreseeable future.

I worked for about 15 years as an electrician with a large focus on LED lighting and lighting automation.

For the last 6 years I’ve been building my design and development skills and began doing work as a freelancer.

I would describe myself as a very creative and technical person and that has translated into a huge passion for design and development.

It’s not uncommon for me to be up at 2 or 3 am learning about and experimenting with some new CSS and Javascript tricks or in Figma designing the UI for some new app idea I had been daydreaming about.

As much as I love the design and development work I can do as a freelancer, I think it’s fair to say that I equally dislike the never-ending client acquisition that also comes along with it.

A steady, full time position with Pangolia would allow me to fully focus on the work that I love doing without the distraction and headache of looking for the next client.

COVID-19 UPDATE

Your saftey is our top priority.

Oceanvolt Electrical is committed to reducing the spread of COVID-19. The health and safety of both our clients and employees is extremely important to us.

Using technology to help reduce exposure and promote safety.

Wherever possible, we have been using new technology that keeps our clients and employees safe during this pandemic. Some of these measures include:

  • Online or Phone Consultations: Where possible, we try to use technology to communicate rather than face-to-face meetings.

  • E-Sign Documents: All contracts and documents can be signed using PandaDocs.

  • Contactless Payment Methods: Credit card, e-transfer or cheque by mail.

We’re taking extra precautions during in-home visits and face-to-face interactions.

As much as we love shaking the hands of people we do business with, we are currently working within a “hand-shake free” environment. At Oceanvolt Electrical we practice social distancing and continue to wash and sanitize our hands regularly. All required signatures will be collected from a customer’s personal device, so we can avoid sharing handheld devices, such as mobile phones.

THE OCEANVOLT TEAM

Customer service and quality that's a shock above the competitors

From your first contact with us, to completing the finishing touches on your home, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by our commitment to customer service and quality work.

17 Years of Experience

Our 17 years of combined experience in the industry have allowed us to work on a wide variety of houses ranging from high-end custom homes to small renovations. At Oceanvolt Electrical, we bring quality work and up to date code knowledge. We not only make your home brighter, we make it safer. 

We saw an opportunity to bring a fresh image and level of service to an industry that has lacked in communication, organization and quality work. We continue to receive positive feedback on our branding, prompt response time, and clean work.

Jordan Tucker

Owner, Red Seal Journeyman

Born and raised in Victoria, BC, Jordan is happy to be providing the community with safe electrical solutions. Bringing attention to detail, creative thinking, and up to date code and regulation knowledge to each job, Jordan is known for consistent, clean, and efficient work. Jordan brings a friendly demeanour and helpful attitude while maintaining professionalism and integrity to every job.

A deep rooted love for all things outdoors, when Jordan has a day off you’ll find him camping, or taking on outdoor projects around the house.

Marcus Piercy Downer

Owner, Master Electrician

Marcus is an island boy through and through. He was born in beautiful Victoria, BC. Shortly after he moved to Salt Spring Island where he spent 10 lovely years growing up before moving back to Victoria, where he has resided ever since. His younger years were spent competing to a high level in track and basketball. His kinesthetic ability to learn and problem solve with his hands lead him to continue schooling and certify as both an electrician and firefighter. He continued to enhance his skills in the electrical field and his attention to detail and quality of work were soon being recognized by contractors across the city. As Marcus began scaling out new opportunities, he chose to complete his electrical FSR. Using this knowledge, Marcus incorporated his own electrical company with Jordan to continue to grow his career.

When he’s not working, you can find Marcus playing guitar, reading to learn new skills, working on his vehicle, and off roading to seek outdoor adventure!
