  • I've had the pleasure of working with Doug for a couple years, and three things that come to mind are: his dedication to strategy, the web design that he provides, as well as his digital marketing. When it comes to strategy, he'll reverse engineer what your goals are, and then show you how he can help. And he'll go through every single step, send you informational videos, etc. So it's not just him telling you what you need to do, but he'll also educate you along the way, which I appreciate.

Web design in Devon

A small town with a big service area.

Devon is a small town on the North Saskatchewan, and most businesses here get a lot of their work by word of mouth. That works well inside town. The jobs outside it, in Leduc County, Parkland County and the acreages in between, go to whoever shows up when someone searches. A clear website with your service area spelled out is how a Devon business wins work in places nobody's heard of it yet.

I'm based in Stony Plain, about half an hour away, and I build websites for trades and owner-run businesses across the region. For a Devon business, the goal is a site that does what your reputation does in town: shows your work, proves you're reliable, and makes calling you the easy choice.

Who I build for in Devon

  • Contractors and acreage servicesAcreage owners search for everything from grading to fencing to clearing. List the services and areas you cover, and you're who they find.
  • Trades serving the regionElectricians, plumbers and HVAC techs who cover the county need a site that says so, or the work goes to the Edmonton company that ranked first.
  • Outdoor and recreation businessesWith the river valley and golf on the doorstep, a site with good photos and simple booking matters more than you'd think.
  • Local shops and servicesYour regulars know you. A site helps the newer families in town find you too.

FAQ

Questions Devon business owners ask.

Is a website worth it for a small-town business?

If your work comes from outside town, yes. Word of mouth covers the people who already know you. A site with your service area spelled out covers everyone else searching nearby.

Do we need to meet in person?

Usually not. The work runs by phone, video and email, and that works well for most projects. Once we're working together, Devon is close enough to Stony Plain that I can meet in person if a project needs it.

What does a website cost?

From $2,999 for a one-time build. What it comes to depends on the size of the site and how much custom functionality, writing and strategy it needs. You get a final number before anything starts.

Do you only work with Devon businesses?

No. I work with trades and owner-run businesses across Alberta and beyond. Most of the work is remote, so it runs the same way wherever you are.
