Under every build

Hosting, SSL, backups, and on-page SEO under every build.

Here is what you are getting under the design, and what each piece is actually there to do for your business.

Included on every plan
Set up at launch
Maintained while you are with us

01 Mobile firstLaid out for a phone screen before a desktop one, because that is where most people will meet your business for the first time.

02 Speed budgetEvery page has a weight limit it has to come in under. A page that appears quickly keeps the visitor around long enough to call you.

03 On-page SEOPage titles, meta descriptions, heading structure, and image alt text written properly at launch, which is the part of search you can actually control.

04 SSL and securityCertificates issued and renewed for you, so browsers show your site as secure and customers never meet a warning screen.

05 Hosting and backupsManaged hosting with regular backups, folded into the monthly rate. There is no separate hosting bill to track down.

06 Click-to-callYour number is a tap on mobile. For a lot of trades and shops that single tap is where most of the work comes from.

07 Google Business ProfileYour listing set up and matched to the site, so the map result and your pages agree on hours, services, and address.

08 Readable to AI assistantsClean structure and plain content, so that when somebody asks an assistant who to call, it can quote your business accurately.

The work

Recent websites for Atlantic Canadian businesses, and what their owners said.

A pizza shop, an auto body shop, a hockey program, a community association, a training provider, a framing crew and a contractor. Different businesses with the same job to do: look right, load quickly, and make it easy for a visitor to become a customer.

The Alp difference

Tier-three technical experience behind a one-person studio.

Who is actually building your site, how fast you get an answer, and what carries on happening once it is live.

01

Built by a tier-three technician

Before Alp I spent years on the escalation desk at one of North America's largest website companies, on the tier-three team that took what the front line could not solve. That meant thousands of small-business sites and the parts most builders skip: hosting, DNS, SSL, and email that actually arrives. Your site gets built on that footing.

02

Same-day replies, same-day edits

You text one person, and that person is the one who builds and runs your site. New hours, a fresh photo, a price change, a seasonal promotion: most of it is done the same day you ask. There is a single conversation to keep track of, and one point of contact in it.

03

We watch the numbers every day

Your site sits on a monitoring tool that tracks both performance and SEO analytics, and we read it daily. When speed slips, a page stops responding, or search visibility moves, we generally see it before you do and fix it as part of the plan you are already on.

04

Honest scoping, and nothing before your first lead

The build is $800 and you know it before we start. You also get a straight answer on the demo call. If we think a site will fall short of earning back its cost for your business, we will say so and leave it there. We stay quiet about Google rankings too, because they are outside anyone's control.

The alternatives

How Alp compares with a big agency and a DIY builder.

A big agency and a DIY builder can both work. Here's where each one costs you, so you can pick with your eyes open.

A $5K+ agency build

The classic route

Cost to start$5,000–$10,000 before a single lead comes in.

Who does the workThey build it, then hand you the keys and move on.

Captures & quotes leadsUsually a good-looking brochure. A quote tool costs extra, if they offer one.

Ongoing supportA separate retainer, or you're on your own for changes.

DIY (Wix / Squarespace)

The weekend project

Cost to startCheap in dollars, paid for in your nights and weekends.

Who does the workYou do. And you maintain it, forever.

Captures & quotes leadsA basic contact form at best. No estimator, no lead dashboard.

Ongoing supportHelp articles and a chatbot. You're the support.

Alp Web Studio

Built and run for you

Cost to start$800 to build, then $99 a month to run it. You own the files.

Who does the workWe build it and keep it running. One person you can text.

Captures & quotes leadsEstimator, owner dashboard, and SMS built in on the Lead Machine.

Ongoing supportIncluded. Hosting, updates, and changes, just ask.

Founder

The studio

Meet Brendon Clarke, the builder behind every Alp site.

I'm Brendon, and I build every Alp site myself. Before this I spent years on an escalated support team at one of North America's biggest website companies, the crew that fixed what the front line couldn't. I've touched thousands of small-business sites and learned the plumbing most builders skip: hosting, DNS, SSL, and email that actually lands.

So your site is built around how you price and win work, on footing that holds up. I move fast, cut the wasted steps, and you deal with the person who builds it, not an account manager.

Flagship · For trades

The Lead Machine quotes jobs for trades while you work.

If you quote jobs and lose some of them to missed calls, there's a version of this built for you: a site with an instant quote estimator, automatic text-back, and every lead in one dashboard.

Questions

Common questions about website cost, timing, and ownership.

Straight answers on price, timing, ownership, and what happens if you decide to leave.

Don't see your question?

Call (902) 225-5280 hello@alpwebstudio.com

Q.01

What kinds of businesses do you build websites for?

Restaurants, auto shops, retail, clinics, trades, sports programs, clubs, and associations. If you have customers who need to find you, understand what you do, and get in touch, the job is the same. Live sites we've built include a pizza shop, an auto body shop, a community association, and a hockey program.

Q.02

Why is the build a flat $800?

Because a number you can decide on in an afternoon is worth more to an owner than a number that needs a meeting. Five to ten thousand dollars for a five-page site is mostly coordination between people who all have to get paid, and the work does not cost that. You pay $800, the site is yours, and the monthly after it is a separate decision you can reverse.

Q.03

Do I keep the website if I leave?

Cancel any time by email with no penalty, and it takes effect at the end of the billing month. You keep your website files, because the $800 build already paid for them. What stops is the hosting, the backups, the monitoring and the changes, so you will need somewhere to put the site. The lead dashboard and estimator are our own software, so those stay with us.

Q.04

How fast can the website go live?

Five business days to two weeks from a signed scope to launch, as long as we have your business details, your services, and a few photos. If you're on the Lead Machine, expect the longer end, because we tune the quote estimator to the way you actually price work.

Q.05

Do you guarantee Google rankings?

No, and be careful with anyone who does. We cover the on-page SEO basics at launch, things like page titles, meta descriptions, headings, and image alt text, but no honest agency controls where Google ranks you. We track the leads your site brings in instead, because that's the number that pays the bills.

Q.06

What will this cost me in the first year?

The Starter plan is $800 to design and build, then $99 a month for a custom site up to five pages. The Lead Machine is $800 to build and $399 a month for up to fifteen pages with the quote estimator and owner lead dashboard, built for trades. That puts the first twelve months at $1,988 on Starter and $5,588 on the Lead Machine. Larger portals or web apps are custom quoted.

Q.07

I already have a website. Can you just fix what's wrong with it?

Often, yes. We do one-time work on sites we did not build: an SEO audit, a WordPress malware cleanse, site optimization, or a Google Business Profile setup. You keep your hosting and we handle the one piece you need.

Q.08

I'm in the trades. Is it different for me?

The build is the same, but you get the option of the Lead Machine: a quote estimator tuned to how you price, automatic text-back, and an owner dashboard holding every lead. It exists because trades lose work to missed calls in a way most businesses don't.

Where we build

Four provinces, each with its own page.

The studio runs out of Halifax and builds for businesses right across Atlantic Canada. Every province searches a little differently, so each one has a page covering the towns, the competition and the season it works to.

Service areaHome base

City pages

HalifaxThe peninsula, the north end and Bayers Lake, where every category already returns a full page of competitors. DartmouthPortland Street, Burnside and Cole Harbour, close enough to share customers and far enough to search separately. BedfordThe Bedford Highway, Larry Uteck and Bedford West, where demand for home services keeps pace with the new housing. SackvilleLower and Middle Sackville and Beaver Bank, a commuter belt where the trade that replies first gets the job. FrederictonGovernment, two universities and the valley towns, an audience that reads the page before it picks up the phone. Saint JohnUptown, the west side and the Kennebecasis valley, an established market with a low online bar. MonctonMoncton, Dieppe and Riverview, the fastest-growing corner of the region and a largely bilingual audience. WoodstockCarleton County, Hartland and Florenceville-Bristol, where the search results are close to empty.

Working in a trade? There are pages for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, landscaping and general contracting, each with the Lead Machine estimator built in.
