The site does not bring in work
Visitors arrive, cannot tell what you do or what it costs, and leave. The phone stays quiet while the site sits online, paid for and doing nothing.
Website design in Edmonton that your team can edit
We design and build websites for Alberta owner-operators who need a site that explains the business, ranks locally and can be edited without a developer. Pricing runs from $4,500 to $12,000, delivery takes four to six weeks, and the quote is fixed before we start.

What usually brings people here.
Every change needs a developer
A price update or a new service page turns into a ticket, a wait and an invoice. Pages go stale because editing them is harder than ignoring them.
Competitors outrank you on Google
Other firms show up for searches in Edmonton and you do not. The site loads slowly on a phone, the pages are thin and nothing says where you work.
What you have when we are done.
A site that explains you quickly
A visitor understands what you do, who it is for and what the first step costs within seconds of landing, then finds one clear way to contact you.
Pages your team edits in minutes
You change prices, add a service or post a project yourself. We train your team at handover, and the editing screens are set up around the pages you will actually touch.
Found for your service and city
Each service gets its own page, written and structured to match how people in Edmonton and across Alberta search. The on-page SEO groundwork is part of the build, not an extra.
Fast on a phone, on any signal
Plenty of visitors arrive on a phone. We keep pages light and test on slow connections, so the site works from a job site or a parking lot, not only from an office.

How it runs.
-
01
Discover
We start with what the site must do for the business: who needs to find you, what they ask first and what a good enquiry looks like. We review your current site and your competitors.
-
02
Design
We outline the pages and the content each one needs, then design the layout for desktop and mobile. You review real screens early, before anything is built.
-
03
Build
We build the site on an editing system your team can use, with pages, forms and on-page SEO in place. You can open a working preview while we build.
-
04
Launch
We test speed, forms and mobile layouts, set up analytics, redirect your old addresses and go live on a planned day. Your team is trained on editing before handover.
-
05
Optimise
After launch we check search data and form submissions, fix what real visitors expose and adjust pages. Ongoing care starts from $150 per month and you can cancel anytime.
In detail
What should a small business website do?
Most Edmonton owners looking at website design need either a first site or a replacement for one that stopped bringing in work. The job is the same either way. The site has to say what you do, who it is for and what the first step costs, then make contacting you the obvious next move.
Glasshead Tech is a founder-led studio in Edmonton. We design for owner-operators of small companies who do not have time to run a web project. Our price bands are published on the Glasshead Tech pricing page and the quote is fixed before work starts, so neither of us spends a meeting finding out we are far apart.
How much does website design cost in Edmonton?
A designed and built website from Glasshead Tech costs $4,500 to $12,000 CAD and takes four to six weeks. Where a project lands depends on page count, how much of the design is custom and what the site connects to, such as a booking tool or quote form. The figure is fixed before we start.
| Option | Best for | Cost and timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Website design | A clear, editable site that explains the business and ranks locally | $4,500 – $12,000, 4–6 weeks |
| Web development | Sites with logins, staged forms or connections to other systems | $4,500 – $12,000, 4–6 weeks |
| E-commerce | Selling products online with checkout, shipping and stock | $9,000 – $28,000, 6–10 weeks |
| Website maintenance | Updates, backups and monitoring once the site is live | From $150/month, cancel anytime |
Affordable here means you know the figure before you commit, the scope is written down, and the site stays cheap to change. If your project needs payments or a member area, it belongs in a different band, and we will say so in the first conversation.
What is included in a website design project?
Every project includes a page plan, custom design for desktop and mobile, an editable build, on-page SEO groundwork, contact forms routed to your inbox, speed and mobile testing, analytics, redirects from old addresses and a documented handover. Anything not on that list, such as photography or ongoing advertising, is quoted separately before we do it.
Structure before surface
A template can look fine and still fail the business. We map the pages and write an outline for each before any layout is drawn. A service page answers the questions a buyer asks in the order they ask them. The home page points to those pages instead of trying to say everything at once.
Editing without a developer
Most of the changes you will want are small: a price, a photo, a new project, an updated phone number. We build the site so those take minutes, and we train your team before handover so the first edit does not need a call to us.
Will customers in Edmonton find the new site?
They will find it more easily, because search groundwork is part of every build rather than a separate invoice. Each page gets a clear title, headings that match how people search, internal links and a fast, mobile-friendly layout. Rankings still take time and depend on competition, so we do not promise positions or dates.
- One page per service. Thin pages that try to cover everything rarely rank for anything.
- Location signals. Edmonton, Alberta and the areas you serve are stated plainly where a customer and a search engine can read them.
- Search Console and analytics. Set up at launch, so you see what people searched and what they did next.
Ongoing work to climb local results, such as new content, Google Business Profile upkeep and monthly reporting, sits with our SEO services in Edmonton. It is optional, and the site does not depend on it.
What happens after launch?
After launch you own everything: the code, content, domain, hosting accounts and analytics, all documented at handover. Your team edits day to day. If you would rather hand off updates, backups and monitoring, our website maintenance plan starts from $150 per month and you can cancel anytime. Looking after it yourself is equally fine.
We also keep the build simple. Fewer plugins, fewer custom parts and clear page templates mean less to update, less to break and fewer billable hours when you want a change.
When you are ready, tell us about the site you need. We reply within 24 hours.
Asked before they write.
How much does website design cost in Edmonton?
Our websites run from $4,500 to $12,000 in CAD, and the figure is on our website because you should see it before you call. Where you land depends on page count, how much of the design is custom and what the site connects to. You get a fixed quote before any work starts.
How long does a custom website design take?
Four to six weeks for most projects in the Websites band. The main variable is how quickly content and feedback come back to us. If we are waiting on photos or sign-off, the schedule moves with that, and we tell you what we need and when.
Can I get affordable website design in Edmonton without losing quality?
Yes, by keeping the scope specific. You see the price band, we quote a fixed figure and we build what the business needs rather than every feature on a wish list. A site that is easy to edit also keeps your costs down after launch.
Will I be able to edit the website myself?
Yes. We build the site so everyday changes, such as prices, photos and new pages, take minutes, and we train your team before handover. If you would rather not touch it, our website maintenance plan starts from $150 per month and you can cancel anytime.
Do you work with businesses outside Edmonton?
Yes. We are based in Edmonton and serve Alberta and clients across Canada, mostly remotely. Distance rarely changes how a website project runs, because the work happens in shared previews and short calls rather than in a meeting room. Tell us where you are and we will plan around it.
Who owns the website once it is built?
You do. The code, the content, the data and the hosting and domain accounts are in your name, and we write down where everything lives at handover. Leaving us should always be possible, even if you never do it. Ongoing care is optional and does not change who owns what.

A plan covers hosting where needed, software updates, backups, uptime and security monitoring, small content edits and support by email and phone. Larger changes are quoted separately. Sites built by someone else get a review before we take them over.
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.

Web development
$4,500 – $12,0004–6 weeks
Glasshead Tech does web development in Edmonton for organisations whose site must do more than inform: forms that route into your systems, member logins, staged application intake and tool integrations. Websites cost $4,500 to $12,000 CAD over four to six weeks; platforms with payments or heavier logic start from $9,000. Every quote is fixed before work starts.
