Port Moody sits at the eastern end of Burrard Inlet and calls itself the “City of the Arts”. It was the original western terminus of the Canadian Pacific Railway — the first scheduled transcontinental passenger train arrived here in 1886, before the line was extended to Vancouver.
Today it is best known locally for Brewers Row, its cluster of craft breweries, along with Rocky Point Park and the inlet trails. The Evergreen Extension added SkyTrain stations at Moody Centre and Inlet Centre, and new housing has grown around them.
The business mix is smaller and more independent than in neighbouring Coquitlam: craft breweries, cafés, galleries, fitness studios, trades and a large number of consultants and professionals working from home offices. For them, the right technology is usually modest and well executed — a site that represents the business properly, online ordering that works on a Friday night, and a few automations that remove admin.
