TRANSPARENT PRICING
No contracts. No exit fees.
NO LOCK-IN, EVER
In Plain Terms
Most Calgary businesses either have no website, an embarrassing one, or they're paying an agency every month and still don't own it. Ember North builds a custom website around your business, hands you the code on day one, and never holds your domain hostage.
No templates. No lock-in. No exit fees. Your site, your files, your domain, from the moment we launch.
Got an existing site that's embarrassing to send people to? We replace it and build something that works. Same flat price: $499, $899, or a custom quote. You own the new one from day one, no strings attached.

What Agencies Don't Tell You
Skip the agency trap. Own your website.
Most websites are built pretty, then handed to an SEO company to fix what should have been built in. A website nobody finds is a brochure in a drawer. Ember North sites are structured to rank before they ever launch.
Locked into an agency contract and sick of paying for it? We build you a new site at a flat price, hand you the code and files on launch day, and you never deal with them again. No exit fee. No transition cost. Just a better website that belongs to you.
The Agency Model
The Agency Trap
You pay thousands upfront. You pay monthly after that. The agency controls your hosting, your domain, and sometimes your content. Stop paying, the site can go offline or stay frozen. Leave, there may be an exit fee. You never fully own what you paid for.
The Ember North Model
Yours From Day One
You pay once for the build. The code, files, and domain are yours on request, from launch day. Managed hosting is optional at $59/month. Cancel any month and keep everything. No exit fee. No runaround.
Built to Be Found
Rank on Google. Get recommended by AI.
Most websites are built for one. Ember North builds for both. The technical foundation that gets you on page one of Google is the same foundation that gets your business cited when someone asks an AI assistant for a local business in Calgary.
Google Rankings
Rank for Calgary
Local business schema, city and trade targeting, clean URL structure, proper heading hierarchy, sitemap, built in from day one, not bolted on after. Every page structured so Google understands exactly what you do and where you do it.
AI Search
Get recommended by AI
The same technical structure that earns Google rankings earns AI recommendations. When someone asks ChatGPT, Gemini, or Google AI for a local business in Calgary, a properly built site is what gets cited. We build for both.
Built Into Every Build
Every page. Built to rank.
Every Ember North site ships with the technical foundation Google and AI search need to index it, and the structure that puts you in front of people searching for exactly what you do.
Local SEO
Rank for Calgary
Local business schema, city and trade targeting, Google Maps structure, built in, not bolted on after.
Mobile First
Found on every device
Click-to-call above the fold, fast load times, fully responsive. Because your customer is on their phone.
Technical Foundation
Built to be found
Clean URLs, semantic HTML, proper heading structure, sitemap, metadata. Everything search engines need to understand your site.

Your website should belong to you.
Typical Subscription
Renting your website
You pay monthly, indefinitely. The agency controls your hosting, your domain, and sometimes your content. Stop paying, the site can go offline. Leave, there may be an exit fee. You never fully own what you paid for.
Ember North
Yours from day one
You pay once for the build. Code, files, and domain are yours on request, from launch day. Managed hosting is optional at $59/month. Cancel any month and keep everything. No exit fee. No runaround.
Subscription-based website providers are real products that work for some people. The difference is what happens the day you stop paying.
