Calgary is home to many top designers and some world class web development companies.

Web Design or Web Development can be as simple as an image and some contact text or it can be incredibly complex, spanning multiple technologies. Choosing the right web designer can be a difficult choice and is often obscured by who has the fanciest graphics.  Our web design checklist is as comprehensive as we could make it and may not apply to every situation but is a good starting point for developing your own custom checklist for evaluating web designers.

Web design from a business point of view needs to have an end goal of contributing to a  businesses overall revenue picture. To accomplish this a great web design must include great Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and solid web promotion and marketing.
