Frequently AskedQuestions

Because we would have to make the numbers wide enough to be useless. A four-page site for a business that already has its photographs and knows what it wants to say is a different job from a twenty-page one where the writing is ours. We would rather spend twenty minutes understanding which of those you are and give you a real number.

Your services, roughly what you charge, the area you cover, and some idea of what you want to be different afterwards. You do not need finished copy or a photographer booked. Working out what the site should say is a large part of what you are paying for, and clients who wait until they have it all ready usually wait forever.

We write it, from what you tell us, and then you correct it. That order works better than the reverse, because most business owners can spot a wrong sentence about their trade instantly but find a blank page paralysing. Nothing goes live that you have not read.

Yes, and we will tell you if it does not need it. Sometimes the structure is sound and the problem is that the important information is three clicks down. That is a cheaper job than a rebuild and we would rather do the cheaper job well than talk you into the expensive one.

The foundation is part of it — page structure, clear service and location information, titles that describe what the page is, a site that loads quickly. That is not an upsell, it is just building the thing properly. Ongoing search work, where we are producing content and chasing specific rankings month after month, is a separate arrangement.

No, and be careful with anyone who does. What we can do is make sure your services and service area are unmistakable, that the site is technically sound, and that there is a real reason for someone to choose you. Where that lands you depends on your competitors, and nobody controls that.

Regularly. Blackfalds, Ponoka and Red Deer each have a page here, and we take work from the county and the smaller communities around it too. If you are further out, ask — the answer depends on whether we can meet you occasionally, not on a radius on a map.

You own it, and you can leave. We would rather you stayed because the site keeps earning its keep than because moving is painful. Small changes are usually a quick email, and if you want to take it elsewhere we hand over what a new developer needs without a fight.
