Red DeerWhat shapes the work here

What running a business here asks of technology.

01

Between Edmonton and Calgary

Sitting roughly between Edmonton and Calgary lets a central Alberta business sell in both directions. A website that names its service area plainly, and a Google Business Profile kept current, show searchers on either side that you cover them.

02

Trades that travel

When crews drive to jobs well outside town, the office loses sight of them. Quoting, scheduling and job costing that work on a phone keep the office and the crew looking at the same numbers, even when the truck is a long way from the shop.

03

Businesses tied to agriculture

Equipment dealers, input suppliers, processors and farm-direct sellers face seasonal peaks, and paperwork piles up with them. Online ordering, inventory tracking and a simple dashboard let the busy season run on records rather than on memory and a stack of invoices.

04

Shops and services built on repeat customers

Retailers, studios and service firms win by being easy to find and easy to buy from. An editable site, online booking or a modest store, plus email marketing that respects CASL consent rules, covers most of what they need without a large monthly bill.

What we build and run in Red Deer.

Website design $4,500 – $12,0004–6 weeks

Glasshead Tech does website design in Edmonton for businesses that want to edit their own site: custom, planned around what buyers ask, on an editor your team learns at handover, with on-page SEO, forms and analytics included. Projects cost $4,500 to $12,000 CAD, take four to six weeks and are quoted at a fixed price first.

E-commerce $9,000 – $28,0006–10 weeks

Glasshead Tech does ecommerce website design in Edmonton and across Alberta, building stores you can run without a developer: catalogue, cart, checkout, payments, shipping, GST and an admin for orders and stock. We compare Shopify, WooCommerce and custom builds in writing first. Projects cost $9,000 to $28,000 CAD, take six to ten weeks and are quoted fixed.

SEO From $1,000/monthongoing

Glasshead Tech provides SEO services in Edmonton from $1,000 per month, covering technical fixes, on-page work, local search, Google Business Profile upkeep and content that AI answer engines can quote. Nobody controls Google's rankings, so we commit to the work, not a position. Monthly reports count calls and form enquiries, not traffic alone.

Custom software $18,000 – $50,0008–16 weeks

Glasshead Tech does custom software development in Edmonton, building the systems Alberta companies run daily operations on: quoting, scheduling, job costing, safety documentation, field capture, client portals and booking. Builds cost $18,000 to $50,000 CAD and take 8 to 16 weeks, with a fixed quote before coding starts. You own the code, data and accounts at handover.

Automation From $2,5002–4 weeks per workflow

Glasshead Tech builds business automation for Alberta companies, so nobody re-keys data between the tools they already pay for: quotes become invoices, web enquiries land in the CRM with an owner, and reports assemble on schedule. Each rule-based workflow costs from $2,500 CAD, takes two to four weeks and is quoted fixed before work starts.

Which central Alberta businesses is Glasshead Tech built for?

Three groups in particular: trades and contractors who quote and schedule across the region, agriculture-linked firms that sell or supply through seasonal peaks, and retailers and service businesses that need to be found and booked online. If yours sits outside those groups, the same published prices, fixed quote and five-stage process still apply.

Our pages for contractors and trades and agriculture and agri-food show those systems in detail. We have built a direct-to-consumer e-commerce platform for an Alberta specialty food producer, so selling food online, with its shipping and product information demands, is familiar work. If you sell food, CFIA requirements may shape what your product pages must show.

How does a Red Deer project run from Edmonton?

Remotely first. Discovery calls, design drafts and working builds you click through on your own screen carry most of the project. When walking your shop floor or training staff in person is worth the drive, we arrange a visit to Red Deer and write it into the quote. Every question gets an answer within 24 hours.

The work moves through five stages, from Discover and Design to Build, Launch and Optimise, and nothing outside the agreed quote is billed. Once the project is live, ownership of the code, the content and every account sits with you. Firms south of Edmonton in Leduc and Nisku work with us the same way, as do our Calgary clients.

Getting found across central Alberta

A good site still needs searchers to reach it. Our SEO service starts from $1,000/month and covers Google Business Profile, service-area pages and the technical fixes that search engines and AI answer tools rely on. Google Ads management starts from $900/month plus ad spend, for owners who want calls this month.

Agriculture and agri-food

Questions5 straight answers

Asked before they write.

How much does a website cost for a Red Deer business?

A business website from Glasshead Tech costs $4,500 – $12,000. An online store costs $9,000 – $28,000. Both prices are published on our site in Canadian dollars, and you get a fixed quote after a short call. Optional ongoing care starts from $150/month and can be cancelled at any time.

How soon can my new website go live?

Plan on 4–6 weeks from the start of design to launch for a business website, and 6–10 weeks for an online store. Timing depends most on how quickly text, photos and product details arrive, so we agree at the start who supplies what and by when.

Do you work with farm and agriculture-related businesses?

Yes. We build online stores, ordering and inventory tools for businesses that sell to or alongside agriculture, from equipment and input suppliers to farm-direct producers. Our past work includes a direct-to-consumer e-commerce platform for an Alberta specialty food producer, which we describe without naming the client.

What is not included in a Red Deer website project?

Ongoing SEO, Google Ads management and the ad spend itself are priced separately from the website, as is ongoing care after launch. Legal advice is never part of our work. The fixed quote spells out every page, feature and integration we will deliver, so nothing outside it is assumed.

Does my website need to follow privacy and anti-spam rules?

Yes. Alberta's PIPA governs how a private business collects and uses personal information, including details sent through contact forms. CASL requires consent before you send commercial email, so sign-up forms need clear wording and a record of consent. We build both in from the start, and since we are not lawyers, read this as general guidance.
