Website Development

Website Development in Edmonton

A business website has two jobs: be found, and turn the people who find it into enquiries. A surprising number fail the first because they were built as single-page applications that serve an empty HTML document to search engines, and fail the second because there is no obvious way to make contact from the page a visitor actually landed on.

We build server-rendered sites where the content, headings, links and structured data are present in the HTML itself. That matters for Google, and it matters considerably more for Bing — which is far less reliable at executing JavaScript to discover content, and is the reason many client-rendered sites appear in one index and not the other.

Beyond rendering, the technical groundwork is done as part of the build rather than sold as a later add-on: unique metadata per page, canonical URLs, a real sitemap, valid structured data, compressed and correctly sized images, and Core Web Vitals treated as a build requirement instead of something to fix after launch.

Who This Service Is For

The situations where this work is usually the right answer.

Businesses invisible in search

Companies whose site exists but does not appear for the services they provide, often for technical reasons nobody has diagnosed.

Local service businesses

Trades and service providers competing for local searches, who need location and service pages that genuinely earn their rankings.

Companies with slow or dated sites

Sites built on heavy page builders that load slowly on mobile, fail Core Web Vitals and lose visitors before the page finishes rendering.

Businesses launching or rebranding

New ventures and repositioned companies needing a site built correctly from the start rather than remediated in two years.

What the Installation Includes

Everything below is part of a standard engagement, not a list of chargeable extras.

  • Content and page architecture planned around what people actually search for
  • Server-side rendering so content is in the HTML, not injected after load
  • Unique title and meta description on every page
  • Canonical URLs, XML sitemap and correctly configured robots rules
  • Valid JSON-LD structured data matching visible page content
  • Responsive layouts built and checked mobile-first
  • Accessibility: semantic markup, keyboard navigation, contrast and labelling
  • Image optimisation in modern formats with correct sizing and lazy loading
  • Core Web Vitals targeted during the build, then measured before launch
  • Contact and quote forms with validation and spam protection
  • Analytics, conversion event tracking and Search Console setup
  • Security headers, HTTPS and a hardened hosting configuration

Our Process

How a project runs from first contact to handover.

  1. Planning and architecture

    We establish what your customers search for, what each page must answer, and how the site should be structured so every service has one clear destination.

  2. Design

    Layouts designed mobile-first and reviewed against real content, so the design accommodates what you need to say rather than the reverse.

  3. Build

    Server-rendered pages with metadata, structured data, internal linking and accessibility built in as the pages are made, not retrofitted afterwards.

  4. Technical SEO and testing

    Sitemap, robots, canonicals and schema validated; Core Web Vitals measured; every page checked on mobile and against the raw HTML a crawler receives.

  5. Launch and verification

    Redirects mapped from any old URLs, Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools verified, IndexNow submitted, and analytics confirmed to be recording.

How We Build

Next.js and React
Server-side rendering and static generation so crawlers receive complete HTML, with the interactivity of a modern application where it is genuinely needed.
Structured data and metadata systems
Metadata and JSON-LD generated from one shared source, so no page can ship without a canonical URL, a description or valid schema.
Performance tooling
Modern image formats, self-hosted fonts, code splitting and caching configured so Core Web Vitals targets are met by construction.
Content management
Headless CMS integration where your team needs to edit content directly, or version-controlled content where the site changes rarely and speed matters more.
Analytics and search tooling
Google Analytics 4 with real conversion events, Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools verification, and IndexNow submission on publish.
