Every successful website begins with understanding. Before design or development starts, we take the time to learn about your business, your audience, and your goals. This strategy-first approach ensures your website is aligned with your brand, messaging, and long-term objectives.
Our designs are intentional, user-focused, and built to guide visitors toward meaningful action—whether that’s making a purchase, booking a service, or starting a conversation.
We build websites using reliable, future-proof platforms and content management systems — so you can update content easily, stay secure, and grow without starting over.
Our development process prioritizes speed, usability, and scalability, ensuring your website performs well today and continues delivering value long after launch.
Search engine optimization isn’t an add-on — it’s built into how we structure and develop every website. From clean site architecture and logical page hierarchy to performance optimization and content flow, we create websites that search engines can understand and users can navigate with ease.
This strong foundation improves visibility, attracts qualified traffic, and supports long-term organic growth.
Your website shouldn’t just exist — it should work. Every site we build is designed to support measurable business outcomes.
Your business will grow — and your website should grow with it. We build flexible, scalable platforms that adapt as your services expand, your audience shifts, and new opportunities arise.
Whether you’re adding new offerings, integrating new tools, or evolving your brand, your website remains structured, organized, and easy to manage.
All of them. No, seriously! We are one of the most diversified and experienced website design and development companies on the planet. Single-serving custom HTML websites, incredibly robust and feature-packed Content Management Systems (CMS websites), all the way up to enterprise-level corporate ventures and e-commerce websites of any size. We’ve got the team, the background, and we don’t believe in words like ‘can’t’, ‘never’, or ‘impossible’. We also provide powerful, secure, and highly-competitive domain registration, website hosting and post-launch marketing, social media management and ongoing content creation and website management. 360-degrees of website design and custom website development solutions.
This is probably one of the hardest questions to answer, since so many factors are involved in determining the price. Our project minimum is $500CAD for a single page custom HTML website, but website development can range into thousands, or even tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars for large scale enterprise websites. Pricing will largely depend on three major factors; level of project and asset preparedness prior to commencement of website development, size of the website (how much content is there, how many pages?), level of client preparedness, and feature set. For a simple website design in a lower price range the requirements may be simple and the message conveyed in a single page, but larger websites may require forms, password-protected areas, subscriber services, complex analytics, animation, customer interactivity and other features that may require extended planning and website development time. The more time spent pre-planning a website design project, the less costly the estimate, and the result.
It is highly recommended that potential clients come to the table very prepared, since ultimately it will save them a great deal of time and money. We can help provide a strategy on how best to prepare for your website development project in advance of development to make it a smooth and efficient process. Give us a call at 780-983-6051 to get started.
We are incredibly savvy at helping small businesses and start-ups succeed. Options exist and we can help you find them. Customization of a pre-built template is an option for budgets not accommodating full-scale website development many small business consider. Generally, we don't recommend the use of website templates, but they may be quite appropriate in specific situations where construction and launch of a website needs to occur within a relatively short amount of time, or if the project has an extremely limited budget, a template might be an acceptable short-term solution. Some things to note when considering a pre-built template option for your website development project:
Many of our clients specifically request WordPress website development, and it is an often-suggested architecture with far-reaching capabilities. WordPress certainly started with humble beginnings as a blogging website package, but it has since grown into a full Content Management System (CMS) that is used by professional agencies and individuals around the world for creating websites of almost any size. At the time of this writing, over 80 million people have chosen WordPress to power their website development project. Highly-notable users of WordPress websites include TechCrunch, The New Yorker, Snoop Dogg, Usain Bolt, Bloomberg Professional, Sony Music, Time Inc., Microsoft News Center, Mashable, The Rolling Stones, Bata, The Walking Dead, Mercedes Benz and The Walt Disney Company.
Great question! Unlike many web design firms who farm work out to freelancers or inexperienced interns, we communicate. Some web design companies provide little or no access when a client wants to speak directly with their designers or developers. We encourage open and direct communications and our clients work directly with our friendly and professional team-members as much or as little as they require for an entirely interactive and customized website development experience that always leads to much more precise results. Who the specific team members are will entirely depend on the individual project needs, but our entire team provides input on every project, just to be sure we don’t hit unnecessary pitfalls or miss opportunities for our clients’ projects to excel even further in the process.
You sure do! We provide a complete backup of all relevant files and assets and deliver them to you electronically when the website development project is agreed upon as complete, and the final payment on contract is made. Most of our clients stay with us for the life of the website, but if for any reason you decide you want to move your website to a different hosting service or get another company to service the site, we will happily assist you in making the transition as effortlessly and efficiently as possible.
We specialize in HTML5/XHTML, Web3 CSS, Javascript, Python and PHP, but are considerably experienced with Flash, DHTML, XML, PHP, and several others. Although extremely unlikely, if there's something we can't accomplish with our in-house team, we maintain an extended support network of very skilled local professionals in all applicable fields of interest.
We sure do! For single or one-time website changes, clients can either call or send us an email with the request and necessary assets. We will assess the work involved and provide an estimate before beginning work, based on our standard hourly development rate: $100/hr. If you anticipate regular ongoing maintenance, one of our extended Service Plans may be more cost-effective solution for you. We also complete emergency and off-hour edits for clients at variable rates.
Give us a call at 780-983-6051 (local Alberta), or contact us using the form here to get started on your website. We will provide a free website design estimate based on our initial communication or we arrange a follow-up meeting if gathering additional details require a more in-person assessment (please note: we have team members available to travel globally for client meetings where requested and appropriate cost considerations are confirmed in advance as covered by client). Once an estimate has been agreed upon, 50% of any logo design project is paid by the client. The project is then booked for research and planning with selected members of our team most suited to the project, then components of design and development are assigned and production commences.
Alchemy Imageworks’ offers a variety of options for maintaining and refreshing your site content. We understand that not every individual or business has the budget to support ongoing changes and updates to a website, but we strongly encourage you to update your website on a regular basis. Ongoing updates provide better search engine results, thus increasing exposure while reducing overall ongoing organic SEO and PPC advertising costs. The addition of new content or even changes to existing content will also generally encourage the intended audience to return to the website repeatedly with the understanding that new and updated information can usually (or always) be found there.
The Pay as You Go Plan: Give us a call (780-983-6051) when you need to add content to your website or require changes, or send your request by email here. We'll complete your request within 48 hours of confirmation, and we invoice at our standard hourly rate (variable according to service). Urgent, emergency, and off-hours website edits or website development requests can usually be completed within a few hours for an additional charge.
Extended Service Plans: Purchase one of our extremely flexible service plans, and you'll receive a significant discount on our standard rates in addition to a block of variable service hours that can be applied to a wide variety of Alchemy Imageworks services, and banked for extended time-periods or carried over when not used or when added to. An excellent way to save money and gain peace-of-mind.
Yes, to an extent. We provide up to an hour of training included with every website development project to help familiarize you or your chosen staff with the operation of the administrative panel for your new CMS website, and how to apply minor edits to text, images and other content. How to create and disable pages, etc. Content Management Systems can be relatively easy to use once properly set up, and a great deal of information regarding the operation and editing of your CMS website design is available online in the form of YouTube videos and tutorial websites. WordPress, our primary CMS is also open source and a vast amount of online training in all aspects of it’s use and customization is available online. Should you or your staff require extended training in WordPress websites, www.lynda.com and www.udemy.com provide some very thorough training courses covering nearly every aspect of its use.

When Attachments & More approached us to rebuild their online presence, we knew it was time to bring bold energy to an industry that often plays it safe online. Led by dedicated owners Darin “Chuck” Holowaychuk and Sharon Holowaychuk, this family-run business specializes in heavy-duty equipment and custom attachments—most notably their growing line of compact loaders and accessories from Avant, one of their premier manufacturers.
Our goal? Deliver a visually impactful, user-friendly website that not only showcases their equipment lineup and services, but positions Attachments & More as a standout in their market. The final result is a vivid, modern, and technically robust site that captures their brand personality and puts them steps ahead of competitor sites in the heavy equipment and compact loader space.
Beyond the design and development, we also navigated a challenging handoff process from a previous developer and hosting company—helping consolidate logins, assets, and systems under one roof for greater control, security, and ease of management for their team.
From the clean navigation and intuitive equipment browsing to the dynamic visual layout that champions their Avant partnership, this build was all about bringing clarity and authority to their online voice—while ensuring the backend runs just as smoothly as the frontend looks.
Today, we’re proud to provide secure hosting, ongoing site maintenance, and continued digital support for the Attachments & More team.

We partner with venues that offer unique and memorable experiences. Our collaboration with The Whitewood Barn, a premier wedding and event space nestled in the heart of Alberta, exemplifies this commitment.
Website Design & Development: We developed a modern, responsive website that captures the rustic elegance of The Whitewood Barn. The site showcases their stunning 40-acre property, featuring a 2,400-square-foot barn, outdoor ceremony spaces, and a clear-roofed Ramada, providing visitors with a comprehensive view of the venue’s offerings.
Website Hosting & Maintenance: To ensure optimal performance and security, we provide reliable hosting services and ongoing website maintenance, allowing The Whitewood Barn team to focus on creating unforgettable events.
This project holds special significance for us. In July 2024, our CEO, Kelly Eros, and CFO, Brittany Eros, celebrated their own wedding at The Whitewood Barn, embracing a medieval-themed ceremony that perfectly complemented the venue’s enchanting ambiance. Their firsthand experience underscores our genuine appreciation for the venue’s charm and the exceptional service provided by owner Chris Ricke and her team.
Working with Shield Fire Protection was a truly rewarding experience. From day one, owner Bill Hansen and Service & Inspection Manager Dan Litrop brought a clear, focused vision to the table. They knew exactly what their website needed to accomplish: communicate professionalism, reinforce trust, and reflect the technical expertise that defines their fire protection services across Alberta.
At Alchemy Imageworks, our role was to translate that vision into a modern, high-performance website that not only looked exceptional but also supported Shield’s credibility and operational goals. We developed a clean, structured, and fully responsive website that showcases their services with clarity, authority, and immediate accessibility. Every component — from page layout and navigation to copy structure and visual hierarchy — was crafted to support both user trust and business growth.
Beyond the build itself, we now provide secure web hosting and ongoing site maintenance, ensuring the Shield Fire Protection website remains protected, fast, stable, and up-to-date year-round. With cyberthreats evolving and online expectations rising, maintaining their digital foundation with enterprise-grade hosting, proactive updates, real-time monitoring, and regular security hardening is essential. Bill and Dan can stay focused on their clients, knowing their online presence is fully managed behind the scenes.
Working with Shield Fire Protection was a win from start to finish — collaborative, efficient, and driven by a shared commitment to quality. We’re proud to support their brand with a website that reflects the strength and reliability of the services they provide throughout Alberta.
We’re excited to highlight our recent work with Sonamu Energy, an emerging leader in Alberta’s evolving energy landscape. Their team approached us with a clear goal: create a digital presence that could speak confidently to the public while also delivering the depth and clarity required to engage potential investors. The result is a modern, data-driven website that communicates innovation, capability, and strategic vision.
Working closely with Sonamu’s leadership, we developed a beautifully branded site that blends clean public-facing design with investor-focused materials, including custom charts, specialized graphics, and detailed data visualizations. These elements work together to transform complex information into clear, compelling insights that support Sonamu’s conversations in both the marketplace and the boardroom.
Beyond design and content, we provided the essential technical infrastructure their growing business needs — including full domain migration, advanced SEO, secure hosting, and ongoing maintenance. The final product is a professional, high-performance website built to scale with Sonamu Energy’s growth and long-term ambitions.
