About

Marika McTague

I’m Marika, Halifax-based, endlessly curious, and the kind of person who doesn’t let a problem sit unresolved. I follow things through, that’s just how I’m wired.

My background is in tech and business operations. I’ve spent years working with small businesses and teams, helping them clarify what they actually need, build systems that work, and bring structure to the things that keep falling through the cracks.

I’m good at connecting the dots, listening closely, translating complexity into clear next steps, and then making sure it actually gets done. I tend to spot gaps early, bring order to messy situations, and keep things moving.

Whether you’re building something new, trying to get caught up, or need steady, capable support on the digital side of your life or business, I step in and handle it with you.

What people say

Choosing to work with Marika was a no-brainer. After eight years in business, I knew my website needed a complete overhaul. She perfectly balances deep market research and a charming 'old school' vibe with the latest technology. Marika guided me through every step of the process, incorporating all my feedback while offering her own expert suggestions. The final result is not only more functional but also a true expression of my identity within the North End Halifax community. I would happily work with her again!

Small business owner, Halifax NS

Marika’s given me so much time and energy back, and peace of mind. Before her, I had a random pile of tasks that just kept growing and no time to deal with any of them. She comes in, figures out what needs to happen, does the legwork, and just gets it done — no matter how big or small.
