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.

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.

Alchemy Imageworks offers a wide variety of graphic design services including logo design, brochure design, illustrations (both concept pencil/ink as well as digital vector illustration), graphics for websites, direct mail design, marketing material design, stationery (including business cards, letterhead, envelope, and mailing labels), tattoos (yes, even tattoos as we our team is comprised of several artists with varying styles), digital photo retouching and any other print graphics that your business may require. We also produce a wide variety of 3D mock-ups and digital stills for a wide variety of proprietary inventor and architectural previsualization.
We get asked this quite a bit, as you can imagine. There are too many variables to narrow down a fixed cost but many of our standard simple-to-medium-complexity projects typically fall between $500-$1400. We take great pride in applying a serious degree of market and competition research during our logo design process to ensure the finished product is original, incredibly competitive in a specific clients’ niche, and stands out from the crowd while capturing the clients vision perfectly. The level of detail provided for a logo design project during the initial meeting, as well as the level of client-side involvement and communication throughout the design and brand development process can also increase costs due to the additional time involved in meetings, feedback, edits and review processes.
That being said; our team is experienced, and we’re very efficient. So, while we have a fondness for research and preparation where logo design is concerned, our team is also very capable of crafting some seriously professional, unique and visually awe-inspiring designs in a shorter timespan for projects where required. We understand that some entrepreneurs have visions and products they need realized digitally, quickly, so that they can capture the vision for their intended audience while certain markets are hot or exact timing required, so if you need graphics or project branding completed ‘on-demand’, give us a call. There is an excellent chance our enthusiastic team of digital alchemists will work late or on weekends to accomplish what you need in the time you need it completed. We love what we do, and we love doing a ton of it, so please don’t be shy about asking for on-demand service or inquiring for more information about our retainer rates for extended projects.
Check out our price list here for base pricing details and overtime / off-hours rates for on-demand services.
The client has whatever level of involvement they choose; not involved in any part of the process until layout reviews begin, or involved every step of the way either by themselves or as part of a larger team, or somewhere in-between. Generally-speaking, our team likes to keep our clients fully involved in the graphic design process to ensure an accurate finished product. In any case, clients are also asked to review and approve various drafts or the layout or graphic elements throughout the design process, so that they are always aware of the progress that is being made on the project. We encourage all of our clients to bring in any samples, colour preferences, swatches, and ideas they may have. Being entrepreneurs ourselves, we’re also incredibly adept at translating sketches on napkins.
Pricing for graphic design work depends on several variables, but you can always rest assured that you’ll be paying for high quality, original work. Our prices are competitive and fair based on the quality of our finished products. Interested potential customers can view some of our graphic design work, including business logo designs in our portfolio. We base our rates at our standard design rate multiplied by time spent, counted in 15-minute increments. If you have small changes to a pre-existing file that takes takes 5 minutes for a quick update, then we charge the minimum amount of $20, and we are extremely efficient. We can complete website edits and image updates quickly, as well as produce some incredibly original and highly-marketable finished products in rapid fashion thanks to the skill and experience of our graphic designers and digital artists.
Absolutely! We have an extensive portfolio of past graphic design work, including logo design and branding projects.
The client owns full copyright of the graphics we create (including logo designs) once final payment on contract has been received. We do, however, reserve the right to use any of our work for promotional purposes and inclusion in our online and offline printed portfolios.
We provide professional graphic design and logo design services to hundreds of different companies from all over the globe including Europe, Australia, China, Russia and the United States. We have multilingual team-members with excellent customer service skills coupled with WeChat and some of the best active translation software on the planet.

Depending on the nature of your project, you will receive an AI (Adobe Illustrator vector), EPS (vector), PDF (vector), JPG, PNG (with transparency where applicable). Your finished logo design can be then used to complete stationery and additional brand marketing materials – including letterheads and envelopes design (corporate representation materials), brochure and flyer design, website layout design, graphics for web sites, presentation folders, and just about any other graphic design requirement your business may have.
Give us a call at 780-983-6051, or contact us using the form here to get started. We will provide a free graphic design estimate based on our initial communication or arrange a follow-up meeting as you prefer. Once an estimate has been agreed upon, 50% of any graphic design project is paid by the client. The project is then booked for research with one of our marketing specialists prior to development (primarily in the case of logo design) and is then assigned to one of our Jedi-level graphic designers or multiple designers most suited to accomplish the desired result.
A business or project marketing strategy is the road-map that precisely defines your specific marketing objectives and outlines the most efficient steps necessary to achieve them. Marketing objectives for most business can be broadly categorized as follows:
It’s important for small businesses and start-ups with limited budgets that only one or two categories or objective should ever be attempted at a time. Your strategy begins to take shape throughout the process, and is a journey of patience, fraught with change. Our marketing experts can help identify answers to three questions of great concern to any business venture; Where is our business now? Where do we want our business to be? What is the applied strategy to reach those goals?
100%. You bet we do. A written marketing plan not only makes it incredibly easier for project and business participants to understand where the business is going and the steps necessary to getting there. A well-written and effective marketing plan can also serve as an important component in approaching financial institutions for loans or attracting serious investment in your business or idea.
The degree of complexity and length of the marketing strategy will largely depend on the size and complexity of the business or project in question. Many small businesses and start-ups can often be documented in just a couple of pages, whereas larger corporate projects and enterprise-level ventures can take dozens or hundreds of pages of documentation and months of planning to be effective.
Absolutely, you can. The question to ask is really: "Do I want to do this myself?". As a professional marketing agency, we have the experience and the expertise to more effectively guide your marketing budget. We carefully plan advertising and marketing solutions in a wide variety of applicable digital mediums to more accurately target the customers you need to reach. We handle your marketing account management so you can concentrate on running your business.

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.
