Web design Calgary: sites for Alberta businesses, built remotely
We design and build websites for Calgary businesses, remotely, from Casablanca. Calgary is seven or eight hours behind us, so calls fit your first working hours and the rest runs in writing. Alberta has no provincial sales tax, which keeps a store simple.

Calgary, from Casablanca
Two shared hours in summer, one in winter
Web design Calgary businesses can book from Casablanca comes with a clear schedule. Calgary is seven hours behind us in summer and eight in winter. That leaves two shared working hours in summer and one in winter, enough for decisions, while the build moves forward overnight.
Mountain time is UTC-6 from the second Sunday of March to the first Sunday of November, and UTC-7 the rest of the year. Casablanca stays on UTC+1, or UTC+0 during Ramadan, which narrows the gap by one hour.
Count a 09:00 to 18:00 day in Casablanca. In summer your 09:00 to 11:00 is our 16:00 to 18:00. In winter your 09:00 to 10:00 is our 17:00 to 18:00. We keep design reviews in your first working hour.
We are not a Calgary office. This page sits inside our website design services for Canadian businesses, part of the Canada hub.
Alberta rules
What a Calgary site has to get right
Tax and payments. Alberta has no provincial sales tax, so a sale inside Alberta carries only the 5 % GST. A store that ships to other provinces still needs tax zones for them, and your accountant confirms the rates. Checkout connects to Stripe, PayPal, Square or Moneris. For a self-hosted shop, see RAIN Store.
Privacy. Alberta has its own private-sector privacy law, PIPA. PIPEDA covers federally regulated businesses and data that crosses borders, and CASL covers marketing email everywhere in Canada. Quote requests collect names, phone numbers and job details, so we limit what a form asks for and write down who can see it.
Sales tax
Sales tax in three provinces
The tax on a taxable sale made inside each province. Your accountant confirms what applies to you.
| Province | Tax on a sale | What a store shows |
|---|---|---|
| Alberta | 5 % GST only | One tax line |
| British Columbia | 5 % GST plus 7 % PST | Two tax lines |
| Ontario | 13 % HST: 5 % federal, 8 % provincial | One combined line |
What we build
Quote requests that reach the right person
Calgary’s economy is built on energy, with engineering, construction and professional services around it. Those firms usually sell on a quote, not in a cart. We design the quote form, one page per service and the proof a buyer needs to decide in one visit.
- A short quote form with only the fields you need
- One page per service, not one per suburb
- Requests sent to a CRM, email and calendar
- One GST line on quotes and invoices
How a project runs
Live in your morning, building in ours
Mountain time is close enough for live design reviews in your first working hour. The rest of the day we build and write up what changed. Seasonal peaks, such as the Calgary Stampede in July, are planned into hosting before they arrive.
- Design reviews in your first working hour
- A written update after every working day
- Caching and hosting capacity planned for visitor peaks

FAQ
Questions from Calgary buyers
What businesses in Calgary ask before they book a call.
Alberta has no provincial sales tax, so a sale inside Alberta carries only 5 % GST. Orders to other provinces can carry their tax, so we set up tax zones and test them with your accountant.
2
How many hours do we share with Calgary?
Two hours in summer and one in winter, counted on a 09:00 to 18:00 day in Casablanca. Design reviews fit your first working hour, and everything else is written.
3
Can you build a quote request flow for a services business?
Yes. We build the form, send each request to a CRM, email and calendar, and show one GST line on quotes and invoices. Our CRM development service covers the pipeline behind it.
4
Can the site handle a visitor spike during an event like the Stampede?
Yes, if we plan for it. We agree expected peaks up front, cache pages that rarely change and plan hosting capacity for the busy days.
5
Do I need to worry about Alberta privacy law?
Alberta’s PIPA covers most private businesses in the province, and PIPEDA applies to federally regulated businesses and data that crosses borders. We limit what forms collect and write down who can see it. Confirm the details with your lawyer.
6
Do you have an office in Calgary?
No. We work remotely from Casablanca and meet on video. If an in-person meeting matters most to you, a local studio is the better fit.
