FAQ
Questions people actually ask us.
Straight answers, including the ones that are less flattering than a sales page would be.
How much does a website cost in Edmonton?
From MM8, a Digital Presence engagement starts at $4,500. That covers strategy and structure, design and copy direction, WordPress development, and the search and measurement foundations. Presence and Operations, which adds the lead response and CRM systems behind the site, starts at $7,500. A System Sprint, which solves one specific bottleneck rather than building a site, starts at $2,500. Those are starting points; the proposal after the first working session carries the real number and it is written down before anything is built.
Do I actually own my website?
Yes, completely. The code, the hosting account, the domain, and every word of content are in your name from day one. If you fire us tomorrow, you lose nothing. Most agencies keep clients on platforms they control. We think that is wrong, so we built the entire studio around the opposite.
What is missed call recovery and why does it matter?
When a customer calls a trades business and nobody answers, they are free to call the next company on the list, and many do. Missed call recovery texts that caller back automatically within about a minute, keeps the conversation alive, and gets the job booked. It matters because a call nobody answered leaves no record, so the lost work never shows up in any report you would think to look at.
What does it mean to show up in ChatGPT and AI search?
A growing share of people now ask ChatGPT or Perplexity for recommendations instead of searching Google. Those tools cite businesses with clear, well structured, genuinely useful websites. We build sites with the technical structure and content those systems look for, so your business gets recommended, not just ranked.
Are you actually using AI or is that marketing?
Actually using it. AI tooling writes first draft code, layout, and copy, and a human makes every judgment call about what to keep, what to cut, and when the generated version is confidently wrong. It is why a build moves in days and weeks rather than months. The tooling collapses the cost of production; it does not touch the cost of taste. We wrote openly about the exact process in our journal.
Why should I trust a new studio?
You should not trust claims, ours or anyone's. That is why we do not make up case studies, we show our demonstration build labeled as exactly what it is, we publish our prices, and we put our own measurements on the record before they flatter us. Our Founding Client program is built to document real results publicly, good or bad. Judge us on what you can verify.
What happens if I want to leave?
You keep everything and go. No exit fees, no held hostage website, no proprietary platform. This is not generosity, it is how the industry should have worked all along.
Do you work with businesses outside Edmonton?
Edmonton and the surrounding area is our focus because local knowledge shows up in the work. If you are elsewhere in Alberta, ask, the honest answer depends on the project.
