Customer
Understand → Trust → Quote → Book
Phone, photos, price range, and a booking path. This is still how local businesses get paid.

When someone asks ChatGPT who to call in your city, does it know you exist?
We do not sell “GEO.” We build websites a person can quote and book, and that Google, Maps, and AI assistants can verify. Your next customer still often starts on a map pack. The assistants are now in that same decision.

Live crawler, not a scored story
Try asking the public web about your business.
Enter the live website. We fetch the homepage, robots.txt, sitemap, and llms.txt from this server. We do not invent a ChatGPT rank from a company name.
Instant scope
A range you can take into a meeting, not a mystery $12k PDF.
Calgary quality-band sites land around $8,000–$20,000 CAD in 2026 buyer guides. We price agent-ready sites at $6,500–$12,500 so the audit can upsell a real rebuild instead of racing $1,999 templates.
Two journeys. One site system.
Assistant
Discover → Verify → Compare → Recommend → Act
Structured services, service area, and machine files. No fake promise that this makes you “the AI’s top recommendation.”

Why this shop
Built for the people and the machines your customers rely on.
Fast loading
Custom-coded, lightweight pages with Core Web Vitals treated as a requirement, not a nice-to-have.
Clean design
Modern, dark layouts that hold up on any device and reflect well on the business behind them.
Mobile-first
Your customers are on their phones. We design for that first and scale up to desktop.
Machine-readable
Schema markup, semantic HTML, and structured service data, so search engines and assistants can verify who you are.
Conversion-focused
Every section, button, and page is there to move a visitor toward becoming a lead.
No bloated templates
Custom-coded and lightweight. You own the code rather than renting a locked-in platform.
Practical strategy
What actually works for Alberta businesses — local pack, Maps, and phone calls, not national theory.
Built for ownership
Structured content files and clear documentation, so the site is one you can maintain and grow.
How we work
From first scan to launch, without the mystery.
Discover
We learn the business, the goals, the customers, and what makes it different. Listening first, no assumptions.
Design
A tailored design that reflects the brand and speaks to the audience — conversion-focused from the first draft.
Build
Custom-coded with modern tools. Fast, secure, and search-ready. You see progress the whole way through.
Launch and improve
We deploy, test, and hand over everything. Then we keep improving, because a site should grow with the business.
Desk notes
From the blog
AI visibility
Can ChatGPT find your Alberta business?
Assistants guess when a homepage never says the city, the work, or the phone number. A live URL scan shows that. A company-name score does not.
Local SEO
Maps still convert when AI Overviews show up
AI Overviews now sit on about half of US queries and they cut organic CTR. For local Alberta businesses, the map pack is still the cash register.
Services
Rebuild the site, or add a knowledge layer?
If people can already quote and book, you may only need schema, /llms.txt, and a service map. If they cannot, a brochure retrofit will not save the funnel.
Before you ask
Frequently asked questions
How much does a website cost?
A rebuild runs $6,500 to $12,500 CAD depending on page count and how much automation you want wired in. The AI visibility audit is $299 and comes off the rebuild if you go ahead. You get a fixed number up front, not an hourly guess.
How long does it take to build a website?
Most projects run two to four weeks from kickoff to launch, depending on complexity. You get a realistic timeline in the first conversation and progress updates the whole way through.
Do I need to have all my content ready?
No. We structure and write content that works for your audience and for search. Existing material helps, but starting from scratch is normal.
Will my site work on mobile devices?
Every site is built mobile-first and tested across phones, tablets, and desktop before launch. Most Alberta trade and service traffic is mobile, so that is the case we design for.
Do you use website builders or templates?
No. Every site is custom-coded with Next.js and Tailwind. You get something fast, secure, and maintainable, and you own the code rather than renting a platform.
Can I update the site myself after launch?
Yes. Content lives in structured files and you get documentation, so you or your team can make updates without calling a developer.
What is the AI visibility scan actually checking?
It fetches your homepage, robots.txt, sitemap.xml, and llms.txt from our server and reports what a crawler can genuinely read — server-rendered text, structured data, a local business entity, a click-to-call number. It does not claim to know your ChatGPT ranking, because nothing that reads public files can.
Do you work with businesses outside Alberta?
The focus is Alberta, because local search, Maps, and the local pack are where the work pays off and we know the market. We will say so plainly if a project is a poor fit.
