“Good design doesn’t have to cost a fortune. It just has to be done right.” — Todd, Illucid Design
Real-world prices.
Hi, I’m Todd — the designer behind Illucid Design. I’m based in Athens, Ontario, a small town sitting about halfway between Kingston and Ottawa, which means I’ve got roots in both communities. By day I work as a full-time mechanic, which means I understand better than most what it’s like to run a trade, deal with customers, and not have time to waste on things that don’t work.
Design has been a passion alongside that for about 15 years. I’ve worked in everything from logos and graphics to full websites, and spent two years working professionally in web design — enough to know what agencies charge and how much of that bill is overhead you’re paying for, not quality you’re getting.
Illucid Design exists because small businesses in Athens, Ottawa, Kingston, and across Eastern Ontario deserve websites that look the part and actually bring in customers — without the $5,000 price tag.
