Websites
A website built for you, then managed for you.
We build the site, and then we can look after it for you — the domain, the deploys, and the mail that quietly stops arriving — in Red Deer and Central Alberta.
Everything above is a promise. This part you can check.
Captures of the real pages, not mockups of them. Open any one and compare it to what you were just told.
No two of them were the same job.
Built for clients
The Goods, Sõl Coast Wellness & Performance, and Manny's Coffee
A roastery, a clinic, a recipe blog. The work is understanding a trade well enough to write its site, then building something fast that the owner can live with.
Look at what those three actually had to do. One had to get the difference between two roasts across in writing. One had to explain a treatment philosophy well enough that a stranger turns up. One had to go on publishing without us. Same craft, and not the same job twice — which is why there is no single answer to what a site costs.
So there is no price list for the build, and that is deliberate rather than coy. Three things move it more than anything else: how much site there is, who writes the words, and whether usable photographs of the business already exist. A list would have to guess at all three, and it would guess wrong for most people reading it. You get the real number in writing before any work starts — our terms say nothing begins until we have both signed an agreement, and that is where it goes.
The part that is the same job every time does have numbers, and they are published: what it costs to keep a site running, and what changes if you would rather own the code outright. What it costs
The questions we always get
What do you need from me?
Time early on, and the truth about how the business actually works. We ask a lot of questions at the start, because that is where the good pages come from. Words and photographs help if you already have them. If you do not, say so at the start rather than partway through — it changes what we should build.
Can I change it myself later?
Sometimes, and it is worth deciding before the site is built rather than after. The Goods is a publishing platform rather than a fixed set of pages — search, categories, and a newsletter, built so new writing goes up without a developer. A roastery does not need that machinery, and building it anyway is a cost with nothing on the other side of it. Tell us which parts you expect to change and how often, and the answer falls out of that.
Can you do e-commerce?
Up to a boundary that is worth knowing before you start. We build the site and wire it to a hosted checkout — Shopify, Stripe, or Square — so that cards, tax, and fraud stay with a company that does nothing else. Manny's Coffee is put together that way: the marketing site is ours, the storefront side is Shopify's. What we would not do is write you a payment system from scratch.
Who owns the domain and the code?
Every site on this page runs at its own address — thegoods.ca, solcoastchiro.com, and mannyscoffee.ca — and not on a subdomain of ours. You can check that from the cards above.
The code is a separate question, and there are two answers. We can host and maintain it, in which case the code stays with us and the build costs less. Or you can take the repository outright — your own hosting, your own accounts, a written handover — and the build costs more, because it then has to be built to be understood by somebody we will never meet. You choose before we start, and it goes in the agreement. Both are priced here →
After launch
We can keep it running, and that is a real service.
Where this applies
Every project we ship, for as long as it runs.
A launch is a start, not a finish. Domains renew, mail quietly stops arriving, dependencies age, and something eventually breaks on a Sunday. We are happy to look after all of it on a monthly arrangement, from $125 a month — and equally willing to hand over the keys and the documentation if you would rather run it in-house, which is priced differently and for a reason we explain plainly.
Domains and DNS, deploys, email that lands in the inbox instead of the spam folder, and analytics set up to answer a question you actually have. The part that decides whether a launch holds up in month six — and we can manage all of it for you, from $125 a month.
The people who would look after your site are the same people who run wearpoint and RealEasy. Both are ours, both are still running, and neither was ever handed off at the end of a project — so the keeping-it-alive half is not a service we bolted on afterwards. It is the half we have never been able to put down.
It costs something real either way, and rather than leave that as a surprise later, the plans and what each one includes are published. What it costs →
Are we a fit?
Saying who we are wrong for is the only half of this that carries any information. Here is ours.
This sounds like us if
- Your trade is nothing like the three above — or exactly like one of them. Neither has ever been the problem; learning a job well enough to build for it is the part we like most.
- You would rather look at the work than read about the process. The three above are the real sites, not case-study pages about them.
- You do not want to think about the site again after it launches. That is the monthly arrangement above, and it is a real service rather than a favour.
We'd point you elsewhere if
- Something off the shelf already does it well. If booking is what you need, buy booking — we'd rather help you pick a good one and wire it in than bill you to rebuild it.
- You need a team of twenty starting Monday. There are only a few of us, and we'd rather say so early than staff up to take the work.
- You want somebody to run the marketing as well — the ads, the social accounts, the newsletter. We build the site and can keep it running; the campaigns are somebody else's job.
We also build software.
Ours end to end
wearpoint and RealEasy
wearpoint and RealEasy are ours — designed, built, shipped, and still being run. The same people who drew the screens wrote the migrations.
One is wear tracking for scrap yards; the other is real estate — buying and selling a home without an agent. If what you need is closer to that than to a website, say so in the message below and we will tell you honestly whether it is ours to build.
Nothing on the costs page applies to this kind of work. Websites have published numbers because they are broadly the same job; software is not, and it gets scoped and quoted on its own.
Tell us about the business
What it does, what the site has to do for it, and whether one exists today. That is enough for a first reply worth reading.
