Calgary web design · No upfront cost
Calgary web design, built for small businesses — not agencies.
Calgary web design from Verve means a local studio builds your complete small-business website — design, copy, and code — before you pay anything. You see the real, finished site first, and only pay if you keep it.
Why a Calgary studio, not a template shop
We're not a national platform running your project through a template engine. We're based right here in Calgary — in your timezone for every call, familiar with what YYC customers expect from a local business, and building with the shops on your street in mind, not a generic template made for anywhere.
Web design and web development, together
Some studios only hand you a design file and leave the coding to someone else. We do both — the visual design and the actual working website, hand-built and fast, not assembled from a drag-and-drop builder. One studio, one point of contact, from your first call to launch.
What it costs
Nothing to start — we build your complete website for $0. If you keep it, it's $500 once and $100/month after that. No deposit, no contract, cancel anytime.

Calgary web design questions, answered straight
How much does website design cost in Calgary?
Calgary agencies typically range from $2,000 for a small freelance project to $10,000+ for a full custom build, often with a deposit before any work starts. Verve is different: $0 to start, $500 once you love the finished site, then $100/month — no deposit, ever.
Is there really no upfront cost or deposit?
Yes. We build your complete website first — every page, all the copy, the whole thing — before you pay a cent. You only pay $500 once (then $100/month) if you decide to keep it. No deposit, no contract, no exceptions.
Do you handle web development too, or just design?
Both. We design the site and build the actual working code ourselves — it's a hand-built, fast website, not a design file handed off to someone else or a template assembled in a drag-and-drop builder.
Do you only work with Calgary businesses, or remote too?
We're based in Calgary and love working with Calgary shops in person over a call — but we're also a remote studio, so we build for small businesses across the US and Canada too.
What makes a Calgary-based web designer different from an out-of-province agency?
Same timezone for every call, familiarity with what Calgary customers actually search for and expect, and a genuine stake in how local businesses look online — not a generic account manager routing your project to an overseas production team.
Is this actually custom-built, or an AI/template site?
Fully custom. No drag-and-drop builder, no AI-generated template with your logo swapped in. We design and hand-code every site around your actual brand and business.
