About Selkirk Technology
A one-person studio in Oldtown, Idaho, helping local businesses look good online and get more done with AI.
Hi, I'm Dave Whalen
I live in Oldtown, Idaho, and started Selkirk Technology to give local businesses something that's surprisingly hard to find out here: a good website, built quickly, at a fair and published price, by someone they can actually sit down with.
I build with modern tools, including AI, which is how I can deliver a polished site in days instead of months. Every page is still reviewed and refined by me. AI makes the work faster; it doesn't replace judgment or care.
That same experience is why I also coach business owners on AI. Most people have heard the hype but haven't been shown how to use these tools on their own quotes, emails and paperwork. I keep it practical and honest, including when AI isn't the right answer.
How I work
- Straight answers. If you don't need something, I'll tell you.
- Fixed prices. You know the cost before work begins.
- You own it. Your domain, your content, your site.
- Local and reachable. Same community, same roads, same winters.

Why “Selkirk”?
The Selkirk Mountains rise right behind our corner of North Idaho and northeast Washington. They're a reminder of the place this business is built for, and of the kind of work it aims to do: solid, dependable and built to last.
