Who you'll be working with
Hi, I'm Kevin, the founder of AltaSmith.
I'm a veteran who served with the Royal Signals before moving to Canada, and I've spent my career in technology, including nearly five years at Microsoft.
I started AltaSmith because too many business owners get sold things they don't need. I'd rather grab a coffee, hear what you do, and build a site that helps customers find you.
I work with a small team of engineers who build and support AltaSmith projects and can work in customer accounts, so a holiday or a sick day doesn't leave you stuck.
If we miss your call, leave a message and we'll call you back within 1 business day.
What we fix
Most small businesses don't need more technology. They need these problems gone.
Look established, get found, keep control of your own logins, and stop being sold things you don't need.
“I lose jobs to people who look more professional.”
A fast, mobile-first site and an email address at your own name, so you look established the moment someone checks.
“My quotes and invoices end up in spam.”
Email set up properly on your own domain, with the records that prove a message really came from you.
“I’m not sure who holds the logins, or if we’re safe.”
The site, domain, and email are in your name, with HTTPS, a safe copy of your site, and sign-in protection built in from day one.
“I don’t have time to deal with tech.”
One provider for the website, email, and Microsoft 365, instead of five vendors to chase.
“Everyone says to use AI. Is it safe? Is it worth it?”
Microsoft 365 Copilot on a setup we’ve checked first, or an honest “not yet” if it won’t pay off for you.
Free tool
Not sure where you stand?
Nine quick questions show whether customers can find and trust your business online, with a free, ordered list of fixes. It takes two minutes and needs no email.
How we fix them
One box, one provider, nothing pieced together.
01
A Website That's Actually Yours
Custom-built, fast, and mobile-first — not a rented template you lose if you stop paying a subscription. You own the site outright.
02
Professional Email & Collaboration
A real business address on your own domain, plus calendar and secure file sharing — not a free @gmail address that looks like a side hustle.
03
Local & AI Search Visibility
Set up to show up on Google Maps and the local pack, and structured so ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Copilot describe your business correctly — and recommend you by name — when someone asks.
04
Security by Default
HTTPS, a safe copy of your site kept in version control, and secure hosting practices built in from day one — not bolted on after something goes wrong.
05
Deployed on a Global Network
Hosted on the same global edge network used by major enterprises, so your site loads fast whether a customer is across town or across the country.
Pricing
Real numbers, published up front.
Fixed-price web design — no sales call required just to see what it costs. Prices are CAD, plus GST. Every website is a one-time build price, then a flat monthly care plan that keeps it hosted, secure, and up to date — pick the level that suits you below.

Who This Is For
Straight talk on whether this is the right fit.
Good fit if
- You want a website you actually own, not a rented page-builder subscription
- You want to show up when people search Google or ask ChatGPT for a business like yours
- You want a straight price before a sales call, not a quote after three meetings
Not a fit if
- You want the cheapest possible DIY builder — that's a real option, just not this one
- You need a large custom platform with dozens of integrations — that's project-scoped work, talk to us first so it's quoted properly
- You want to make daily content changes yourself with no developer involved — ask, since it changes what we'd recommend building

FAQ
Questions business owners ask first.
A professional website, a business email address on your own domain, local search setup (Google Business Profile and on-site SEO), AI visibility so assistants like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews describe your business correctly, and secure, globally-deployed hosting — bundled together instead of pieced out to five different vendors.
Two parts, both published: a one-time build price in CAD plus GST — Starter $1,499, Professional $3,499, Commerce $5,499 — and a monthly care plan from $99/month that keeps the site hosted, secure, and current. Business in a Box (professional email, Google and Bing listings, local SEO, and AI visibility setup) adds $750 to any package; email mailboxes are billed monthly per user.
Most sites are ready for your review in about two weeks once we have everything we need from you — your logo, photos, and a few paragraphs about your business. If you'd rather not write it, we'll help.
You move onto a monthly care plan: Core is $99/month and covers hosting, SSL, domain renewal, a safe rebuildable copy of your site, security updates, email support, and up to 30 minutes of small content edits a month. Growth ($199) and Pro ($449) add more hands-on work — monthly edits and reporting, Google Business Profile upkeep, and ongoing search and AI-visibility tuning. No long contract, and you can change plans any time or leave with 30 days’ notice. Commerce stores start on Growth — the site and domain are yours.
Your site runs on large, well-established third-party platforms, so outages are rare, but they're outside anyone's control. If one happens we'll keep you informed and help get you back up as soon as the provider does. Their own service terms apply to their part of the service, and we'll never promise more than they do.
You do. The website, its content, and your domain name are registered to you, not to us — so if you ever want to move, nothing is held hostage.
Sometimes you should — if you have more time than budget and only need a simple page, a builder is a real option. The trade-offs are that you rent the site rather than own it, you do the work yourself, and a builder doesn't set up your Google Business Profile, local search, or AI visibility. We lay out the honest numbers on our website cost guide.
Yes. The bundle is the most cost-effective way to get everything at once, but each piece — website, email, local SEO, AI visibility — is also available on its own.
Alberta is home base — we're in Calgary — and we work with trades, small businesses, and mid-sized companies across Western Canada, remotely or in person.
Within 1 business day, every time. If it's urgent, call or email and say so.
