Edmonton Web Design & Development Services

The investment necessary for designing and developing a new website is based on several factors. These include the specific goals and objectives of your organization, the complexity of the functionalities required to meet these aims, and the range of pre-existing assets at your disposal. Generally, the cost for a new website design project starts around $4,500, with the potential to extend up to $25,000, depending on your specific needs. For more customized websites and online stores, the starting price is typically around $14,000. We wrote a post that goes into more detail on how we price web design projects.

Most projects run 6–10 weeks from kickoff to launch, depending on the number of pages and how much custom functionality is involved. That estimate covers active development — it doesn't include time waiting on content, photography, or third-party designers, which is usually what stretches a timeline. We'll give you a realistic schedule up front and tell you where the risks are.

Me. James, the founder. You won't be handed to an account manager after the sale, and you won't explain your business twice. I've been building websites since 2005 and I run every project personally — strategy, design decisions, and the technical build. My record from ticket opened to ticket closed is about four minutes. That's the whole model: one person, no layers.

Yes. You own your website — the domain, the content, the design files, the database, and all your data. If you ever want to leave, we'll package it up and help with the handover. Nothing is held hostage.

Two things worth knowing, because most agencies don't spell them out. Hosting is part of your care plan rather than something you own separately, so moving means setting up hosting elsewhere — we'll handle the migration either way. And premium plugin licences are held by us: your care plan covers the standard pro licences every site needs, while anything specialised to your build is quoted separately. If you move, you'd need your own licences to keep receiving updates. That's true of almost every agency-built WordPress site, including ones that advertise "you own everything."

No. Website projects are a one-time build, and care plans are month to month — no annual commitment, no cancellation penalty. If the relationship isn't working, you shouldn't need a contract to keep you in it.

Yes. Every project includes a 15-day warranty after launch — if something we built isn't working as it should, we fix it. Beyond that, a care plan acts as an extended warranty: hosting, updates, monitoring, security, and a real person to call when something needs attention. Most clients stay on one, because a website isn't a thing you finish, it's a thing you run.

Yes, and we'll walk you through it before handover. Most clients end up asking us to handle the bigger changes — copy, layout, URL structure and internal links all affect SEO and conversion in ways that aren't obvious — but the site is yours and you're never locked out of it.

One ask: check with us before installing a plugin. It's a quick email and it usually saves you money or trouble. Nine times out of ten something already on your site does the job. If it doesn't, we often licence a better option we can add at no extra cost. And a handful of plugins — caching, backup, and security tools in particular — conflict with our hosting stack, because that work is already handled at the server level. Adding them tends to slow the site down or break it outright.

You have the option to provide your own content, but if you prefer assistance, we offer content creation and copywriting services to ensure your website has engaging and SEO-friendly content.

Absolutely. We build every website with SEO best practices in mind—from clean code and fast load times to mobile responsiveness and on-page SEO essentials.

Yes, and we didn't change anything to make that happen. Every site we build is structured semantically from the start — proper heading hierarchy, one clear intent per page, clean site architecture. That's what AI needs to understand who you help and what you do. Most sites fail this not because of AI, but because nobody built the foundations properly in the first place.

Accessibility is scoped per project. Every site we build covers the fundamentals — proper heading structure, colour contrast, keyboard navigation, alt text, and readable type — because those overlap with good SEO and good design anyway. If you need to meet a specific standard like WCAG 2.1 AA, whether for a public-sector contract, a grant requirement, or your own policy, we'll scope and test against it explicitly. Tell us early, because it shapes design decisions rather than being something you bolt on at the end.

A lot of our best work is with nonprofits. We built the platform behind Simply Supper's Lemonade Stand Day, which has processed over $1.7M in online donations and replaced a system that took two people two weeks to reconcile by hand. Nonprofits usually have a marketing manager wearing six hats, so we build sites that are genuinely easy to manage.

We specialize in a wide range of website types, including business websites, portfolios, e-commerce sites, blogs, and more. Our designs are tailored to meet your specific objectives.
