A Calgary web studio
Your business,
remastered.
We rebuild websites for local businesses that have outgrown theirs. We do the work first, so you judge the real thing, not a pitch.
- See the finished site before you decide
- Keep your domain and email
- One price, no lock-in
Your website, menu, booking page, onboarding, product manual, showroom and help centre, remastered.
A remaster, up close
Same café. Ten years newer.
This is what we do to a business’s website. Same name, same menu, same people. Drag the line and compare.
What changes
A much better first impression.
01 The menu
BeforeA PDF people have to download and pinch to read.
Every item on a fast page that's easy to search on a phone.
02 Calling and booking
BeforeA phone number at the bottom of the page, next to a fax number.
One tap to call, book or get directions, always within reach.
03 Opening hours
BeforeA table of hours you have to read and work out.
“Open now, until 9 pm” at a glance, Tuesdays closed and all.
04 On a phone
BeforeText that runs off the screen and buttons too small to tap.
Designed for the phone first, because that's where your customers are.
05 On Google
BeforePages search engines can barely make sense of.
Your hours, address and services set out in a way Google can read.
06 First impression
BeforeA site that looks like it did ten years ago.
A site that looks like the business your regulars already love.
How we work
We do the work first.
Then you decide.
We choose the businesses we approach, and every site is built around the business it’s for: its menu, its photos, its hours, its story.
STEP 01
We remaster it first
We choose local businesses whose websites don't do them justice. We study your current site, your menu or services, your photos and what customers say about you, then build the new version around them. You don't need to do anything.
STEP 02
You see it finished
You get a private link to your new site. Open it on your phone, click around, show your team. Nothing to sign, no account to create.
STEP 03
You decide
If you love it, it's yours for one fixed price, and we fine-tune it with you. If it's not for you, that's the end of it. Nothing to cancel, nothing owed.
STEP 04
We put it live
We launch it on your existing web address and handle the technical parts with whoever manages your site today. Your email keeps working throughout.
If you say no, that’s it. Nothing to cancel, nothing owed.
Pricing
One fixed price.
No lock-in.
You only pay once you’ve seen your new site and want it. Then you choose whether we look after it for you.

The studio
A small studio that does the work first.
We've spent the last ten years building websites and online stores, and helping businesses turn visits into customers. Remastered Studio is the simplest version of that work: we find businesses whose websites don't do them justice, rebuild them properly, and show the owners the result before asking for anything.
Websites are where we start. The same approach works for onboarding, training, catalogues and anything else a business has outgrown.

if you see your new site and say no
Your domain, email and accounts stay yours
We never take ownership of your web address, Google profile, social accounts or booking systems. We change only what's needed to point your domain at the new site.
We work with whoever runs your site now
Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy, WordPress or an agency: we coordinate the switch with them, so you don't have to learn how any of it works.
Nothing made up
Every review, award and claim on your site is real and checked with you. If we can't verify it, it doesn't go in.
Local, and easy to reach
We're based in Calgary. Questions go to a real person, and we're happy to meet you at your business.
Why would you build my website before I've asked?
Because it's easier to decide when you can see the real thing. Describing a website in a meeting is hard; opening it on your phone takes ten seconds. We take the risk of doing the work first.
Why did you pick my business?
We choose businesses we think we can genuinely help: good businesses whose websites don't show how good they are. Your preview is built around your business, from your own menu, photos, hours and story.
Do I owe anything if I say no?
No. Looking costs you nothing, and there's no contract until you decide you want the site and we've agreed in writing on what's included.
Do I keep my web address and email?
Yes. Your domain stays registered to you, and your email keeps working throughout. We only change the settings that point your domain at the new site, and we keep your old site running until the new one is checked and live.
Who owns the website?
You do: your content, your photos, your domain and your accounts. With Care, we host and maintain the site for you. Without it, we hand it over when it's live.
Someone else manages my website. Is that a problem?
Not at all. With your OK, we'll coordinate with them directly and give them exactly what's needed. If you're not sure who manages it, we'll help you find out.
Can I change things on the new site?
Yes. One round of changes is included before launch. After launch, Care covers small updates by email, and anything bigger gets a clear quote first.
How long does it take to go live?
Usually one to two weeks after you say yes. Most of that is collecting your final details and coordinating the switch with whoever manages your domain.
What about my online ordering and reservations?
We link to the systems you already use, so nothing about how you take orders or bookings has to change. Replacing those systems is a separate project, quoted if you want it.
Will this get me to the top of Google?
No one can honestly promise that. We set up the basics properly: fast pages, clear titles, and your hours, address and services in a format Google reads. That gives you the best footing, without the guarantees.
How do I pay?
Once you've approved the scope in writing, you pay the one-time fee by invoice before launch. Care is billed monthly after launch.
