Questions about building a website
Most custom brochure websites land between $3,500 and $6,000 depending on page count, copy needs, SEO scope, and features. This covers custom design, mobile-first build, SEO foundations, and launch setup. Monthly care plans are available after launch starting at $99/month.
Most projects take 2 to 4 weeks depending on content readiness, revision rounds, and scope. If you have your content and photos organized before we start, timelines stay tight.
Yes. Every website is built mobile-first — layout, spacing, buttons, and content flow are designed for phones first and then expanded for larger screens. This is not a checkbox. It is the starting point.
It depends on the current site's quality and platform. Sometimes targeted fixes for design, mobile usability, and SEO are enough. Other times, rebuilding makes more sense for similar effort. Either way, you get an honest assessment before any work starts.
Yes. Every build includes foundational on-page SEO: title tags, meta descriptions, heading structure, schema markup, internal linking, sitemap, and crawl setup. For broader SEO work, dedicated SEO packages are available.
Questions about local SEO
Most small businesses benefit from: better page structure, cleaner metadata, stronger headings, schema markup, internal linking, and more relevant service and location copy. These are not exotic strategies — they are fundamentals that most local sites skip.
Yes. Existing websites can often be improved significantly through page structure cleanup, metadata updates, internal linking, schema, and stronger copy — sometimes without a full rebuild.
Yes, though local SEO expertise is strongest for Calgary and Strathmore area businesses. On-page and technical SEO fundamentals apply broadly, and I can work with businesses across Alberta.
Questions about website care
Care plans include hosting, uptime monitoring, backups, security updates, and technical support. Higher-tier plans add content edits, monthly performance reviews, and priority turnaround. See maintenance details for full pricing.
Often, yes. After reviewing the current site's platform and condition, most existing sites can be taken on for ongoing support. If a rebuild makes more sense, I will say so up front rather than patching something that keeps breaking.
Questions about process and fit
Projects start with a free consultation to understand your business, goals, and timeline. From there: a proposal with scope and pricing, then the build covers design, content structure, SEO setup, revisions, and launch. You deal with one person from start to finish.
You work directly with the person building your site — no account managers, no handoffs, no project brief getting translated through three people before it reaches the keyboard. Same quality of work, personal relationship, fraction of the overhead.
Yes. Pleiades Pixels is based in Calgary and Strathmore, Alberta, but works with small businesses across Alberta. Local search expertise is strongest for Calgary and Strathmore, but the design and development work applies anywhere.
