XMetaSol designs and builds websites for Calgary small and mid-size businesses that load quickly, look right on every screen and make it easy for visitors to get in touch or buy. We handle the whole job, from planning and design to launch and ongoing care. You deal with one team and get a site you actually own.
Web Design & Development
What we do
Business websites
Clean, professional sites for service businesses, trades, clinics, consultants and local shops. They come with clear calls to action, contact forms, Google Maps and click-to-call built in.
WordPress development
Custom WordPress sites you can update yourself, built with well-supported themes and page builders and only the plugins you need.
E-commerce stores
Online stores on Shopify or WooCommerce, with product pages, payments, shipping and inventory set up properly. We can also move an existing store to a new platform, and build English/French bilingual stores.
Website redesigns
We modernize an outdated site, improve its structure and speed, and keep your existing Google rankings safe with proper redirects.
Custom features and web apps
Booking forms, client portals, calculators, integrations with your CRM or other tools, and custom web applications when an off-the-shelf plugin won’t do.
Logo design and branding
A logo, colour palette and fonts that look consistent across your website, social media and print. This is available as an add-on to any website project.
SEO-ready from day one
Every site we build includes the basics: clean page titles, meta descriptions, mobile-friendliness, fast loading, an XML sitemap and Google Analytics set up. For ongoing SEO, see SEO & Local Marketing.
Website security and maintenance
SSL, spam protection on forms, backups, software updates and two-factor login for admins. Ongoing maintenance keeps your site secure and up to date after launch.

Process
How a website project works
Typical timeline: a standard business website typically goes live within 5 days, and a simple Shopify store in under 3 days, once scope is agreed and we have your content. Bigger builds get a written schedule with your quote.
Discovery
A free call to understand your business, customers, goals and the pages you need.
Scope and quote
A written plan with pages, features, timeline and cost. Nothing starts until you approve it.
Design
We design the key pages around your brand and share them for feedback before building.
Build
We develop the site, add your content and set up forms, analytics and the SEO basics.
Test and launch
We check the site on phones, tablets and desktops and in major browsers, then launch it and walk you through updating it.
Support
Optional maintenance keeps everything updated, backed up and secure.
Tools
Platforms and technologies
We choose the simplest tool that does the job well, so your site is easy to look after.
WordPress
The world’s most widely used website platform. It’s flexible and easy to update yourself, which makes it ideal for most business websites and blogs.
Shopify
A hosted e-commerce platform that handles payments, security and hosting for you. A strong choice for most online stores.
WooCommerce
Adds a full online store to a WordPress website, so you can manage your content and products in one place.
React
A JavaScript library for building fast, interactive interfaces. We use it for web apps, dashboards and highly interactive pages.
Angular
Google’s framework for building larger, structured web applications such as portals and internal tools.
Node.js
Runs JavaScript on the server. We use it for APIs, real-time features and the back end of web apps.
Laravel
A PHP framework for custom web applications with logins, databases and business logic.
Django
A Python framework for secure, data-driven web applications. It’s a good fit when a project also uses data or AI.
ASP.NET Core
Microsoft’s framework for business web applications and APIs, often chosen by companies already using Microsoft tools.

How long does it take to build a website?
A standard business website typically goes live within 5 days of agreeing scope and receiving your content, and a simple Shopify store usually takes under 3 days. Larger sites, custom features and complex stores get a written timeline in your quote.
How much does a website cost?
It depends on the number of pages, the design and the features you need. After a free call, we send a written quote with a clear scope, so you know the cost before anything starts.
Will my website work on phones?
Yes. Every site we build is responsive, so it adapts to phones, tablets and desktops. We test it on real devices before launch.
Can I update the website myself?
Yes. We build on platforms like WordPress and Shopify that let you edit text, images and products without coding, and we show you how at handover.
Do you provide hosting and domains?
We can help you choose and set up hosting and a domain, or work with the provider you already use. Hosting and domains are billed by the provider unless your quote says otherwise.
Will my website be secure?
We install SSL, protect forms from spam, set up backups and keep software updated, and we can add two-factor login for admins. Ongoing maintenance keeps those protections current after launch.
