it's not about us - It's about you
But thanks for asking . . .
We believe that websites are like people: they need a purpose. So we plan and build them to do something. We work with our clients to bring clarity to their vision and functionality to their projects.

About
Pectopah
Pectopah offers a wide range of website services from the initial brainstorming meeting to build, launch and on-going support and training.
We are happy to provide strategy and direction to our clients and/or work with their existing marketing departments.
We work directly with clients or through their agencies to provide as much or as little of a website project as required.
Located in Toronto, we have clients from Canada and the United States.
SUSAN DOCKER
CEO | Executive Producer
Susan has been building websites and interactive projects for PECTOPAH’s clients for the last (yikes) twenty years. She has also produced sites for NABET700, Canoe.ca, CIBC and CBC Newsworld. She has taught online journalism at Sheridan College.
Before founding PECTOPAH in 1998, Susan was the Senior Producer of CBC Television’s New Media Unit and a business consultant for Sympatico.ca.
Susan built her first website for CBC’s The Health Show in 1995. She had found her medium – the Internet just made sense, and more importantly, it gave everyone equal access to their audience.
While Susan was waiting for the Web to be invented, she was a production coordinator for television documentaries, feature films and a bartender.
Susan has a B.A. in history from the University of Toronto.

What is a PECTOPAH?
It means “restaurant” in many languages that use the Cyrillic alphabet. It is one of the few words that contains all Latin-ish letters.
Why PECTOPAH?
We started the company after returning from a two month trip in Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
Both a restaurant and a website have menus. And the domain name was available.
