How much does custom web development cost in Calgary?

Custom web development typically ranges from $8,000 to $60,000+ depending on scope. A business website with CMS runs $8,000–$20,000, while a full custom web application with user accounts, integrations, and admin dashboards costs $25,000–$80,000+. We provide detailed estimates after a free scoping call.

Should I build native iOS/Android or cross-platform?

For most Calgary businesses, cross-platform with React Native is the clear choice in 2026. You get native performance on both iOS and Android from a single codebase — cutting cost by 40% and halving your maintenance burden. We recommend native only when your app requires extremely specialized hardware access.

Can you connect our website to our existing CRM or ERP?

Yes. We regularly build API integrations with Salesforce, HubSpot, QuickBooks, SAP, and custom enterprise systems. We handle authentication, data transformation, error handling, and monitoring to ensure reliable, real-time data flow between your systems.

How do you prevent unexpected cloud bills?

We implement FinOps practices from day one — budget alerts, resource auto-scaling with spending caps, reserved instance recommendations, and monthly cost optimization reviews. Most clients see 20-40% savings within the first quarter after we optimize their infrastructure.

How does AI affect SEO in 2026?

Google’s AI Overviews now appear in most search results, capturing 61% of clicks that previously went to websites. We implement Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) — structured data, authoritative content, and E-E-A-T signals — to get your business cited inside AI answers, not just in traditional blue links.

What is your response time if my website goes down?

Critical issues (site down, data breach, security incident) receive a response within 1 hour on our standard plan and 30 minutes on our premium plan. Non-critical bugs are triaged within 1 business day. We provide 24/7 automated alerting so we know about issues immediately.
