New business website FAQ
How much does it cost to build a new website in Calgary?
Ember North charges a flat fee: $499 for a Starter site (up to 6 pages), $899 for Established (up to 12 pages with per-service and per-city pages), or from $1,500 for custom functionality. There are no monthly fees unless you choose managed hosting at $59/month. The build price is fixed before work starts, no surprises mid-project.
How long does it take to build a new website?
Most Starter builds are ready for review within two weeks of receiving your brief, logo, and photos. The timeline mostly depends on how quickly your assets and feedback come in. The build itself is fast. We walk you through exactly what we need at the start, so there are no surprises mid-project. Established and Custom builds take longer depending on scope, which is agreed before work starts.
What do I need to have ready before starting?
A logo or at least a direction, photos of your work or business (or a plan to get them), a list of your services, and a rough idea of who your customers are. you don't need a polished creative brief. We can work with raw material and refine it. The content questionnaire we send at the start covers everything we need to scope the build correctly.
