Web Development in Edmonton

Fast, modern, AI-ready websites built on Next.js and React — engineered for conversion and AI discoverability.

Agency7 builds conversion-focused websites for Edmonton businesses. Every site we ship is fast (Core Web Vitals green), mobile-first, accessible (WCAG 2.1 AA), and engineered from day one for both human users and AI crawlers. Our stack: Next.js 16, React 19, TypeScript, TailwindCSS, and modern deployment on Vercel or your platform of choice.

02What modern web development looks like in 2026

What modern web development looks like in 2026

A website in 2026 is no longer a digital brochure. It is a lead-capture system, an AI-readable knowledge graph, and a conversion machine. Visitors arrive from Google, from ChatGPT, from Perplexity, from a referral — and within seconds they decide whether your business is worth their time.

The sites that win are the ones that load in under a second on mobile, speak plainly about who you are and what you do, surface the right call to action without clutter, and get read by AI crawlers as confidently as by humans. That is what we build.

Our default stack — Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind — is the same stack used by most of the fastest-growing technology companies in the world. It is production-tested, widely supported, and gives us the performance and SEO foundation we need without heavy CMS overhead.

05How we build

How we build

  1. 01

    Discovery (1–2 weeks)

    We map business goals, target customers, brand, content inventory, and technical requirements. We walk away with a shared understanding, not a 40-page document.

  2. 02

    Design (1–2 weeks)

    Figma prototypes of key pages. We iterate with you on hierarchy, typography, and conversion path before writing a line of code.

  3. 03

    Build (2–6 weeks)

    Development in parallel tracks: front-end, integrations, CMS. Continuous preview deployments so you can see progress daily.

  4. 04

    Content and QA

    Copy, images, SEO metadata, schema markup. Accessibility and performance audits. Cross-browser and device testing.

  5. 05

    Launch

    DNS cutover, production deployment, and monitoring. We handle the technical details so your business does not go down on launch day.

  6. 06

    Post-launch support

    Two weeks of included post-launch fixes. Optional ongoing maintenance from there. Training if your team will manage the site internally.

06What you can expect

What you can expect

  • Load times under one second on mobile — verified with Lighthouse and real-user monitoring.
  • Accessibility and SEO audits that score 90+ from day one.
  • Immediate boost to organic visibility once the new site is indexed.
  • A clear conversion path from visitor to booked call or purchase.
  • A codebase your future developers will not hate. Clean TypeScript, documented components, sensible structure.
07Investment

Investment

A focused landing page with forms and integrations typically starts in the mid four-figure range. A full marketing site with blog, services, and case studies runs in the upper four to low five figures. Custom web applications, e-commerce, or multi-locale sites scale from there based on complexity.

Optional monthly maintenance covers security updates, performance monitoring, minor content updates, and ongoing optimization. Pricing is transparent and quoted after a free discovery call — no guesswork.

08Why Edmonton businesses choose Agency7

Why Edmonton businesses choose Agency7

We are local. We work on Edmonton time, we can meet in person, and we understand the Alberta market — seasonality, local competitors, and the compliance and privacy requirements that apply to Canadian businesses.

We have shipped production sites for brands including Sky Patrol AI, studytree.ai, rizmataz.com, bestaiwearables.com, bookly.date, and qmsly.ai. Our engineers are local AI specialists — the same team that builds our voice agents, AI SEO systems, and lead-gen automation.

Most importantly, we build with AI. Every site we ship is engineered for both Google and the AI search engines (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity) your customers are already using. That is a permanent advantage in 2026 and beyond.

10Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about web development

What technologies do you use?

+
Our default stack is Next.js 16, React 19, TypeScript, TailwindCSS, and Vercel for deployment. For content we use Sanity or headless WordPress where needed. For e-commerce we use Stripe or Shopify Headless. For analytics we default to Plausible for privacy-friendly tracking.

How long does a typical web development project take?

+
A simple lead-generation landing page takes 2–4 weeks. A full marketing site runs 6–10 weeks. Custom web applications and e-commerce projects typically take 3–6 months. We provide a detailed timeline after discovery.

Can I edit the site myself after launch?

+
Yes. If you want non-technical editing, we integrate a CMS (Sanity, Contentful, or WordPress headless) so your team can publish pages, blog posts, and updates without code. We provide training and written documentation as part of the handoff.

Do you offer ongoing maintenance?

+
Yes. We offer monthly maintenance packages covering security updates, performance monitoring, content refreshes, minor design tweaks, and feature development. Pricing depends on scope.

What about SEO?

+
Every site we build is SEO-ready from day one — clean URLs, sitemap, schema markup, fast performance, mobile-first. For an active ranking program, see our AI SEO service, which most clients combine with a site rebuild for maximum impact.

How much does web development cost in Edmonton?

+
A focused landing page starts in the mid four-figure range. A full marketing site runs upper four to low five figures. Custom apps and e-commerce scale higher. We quote every project individually after a free discovery call.

Do you build e-commerce sites?

+
Yes. We build e-commerce on Stripe, Shopify Headless, or custom Next.js solutions. We handle product catalog, checkout, payments, inventory integration, and fulfillment hand-offs.

Can you migrate from WordPress, Squarespace, or Wix?

+
Yes. Migrations from WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, and Webflow are some of the most common projects we do. We preserve your SEO value — URLs, redirects, content, metadata — and deliver a much faster site on a modern stack.

Will my site rank on ChatGPT and other AI search engines?

+
Every site we build includes the schema, structured content, and FAQ architecture AI engines look for. Ranking well in AI search also takes ongoing content and authority work — our AI SEO service covers that if you want a dedicated program.
