Kiln is a small, owner-led studio in Edmonton building websites for local trades, restaurants, photographers, retail, and professional services. Flat fees, free homepage mockup before you commit, no agency runaround.
A custom website — not a Squarespace template, not a $20 Wix theme — built to look like your business, load fast on phones, and rank for the keywords your Edmonton customers actually search. Three tiers depending on what you need:
Most of our Edmonton clients are small businesses with one to fifteen employees — tradespeople, restaurants, retail shops, photographers, professional services, recycling and waste services, fitness studios. Anyone in Edmonton or the surrounding metro who needs a real website that ranks, without paying an agency $3,000+ for a basic build.
We're based in Edmonton, AB and serve clients across the metro — downtown, Old Strathcona, Whyte Avenue, Bonnie Doon, Millwoods, Windermere, West Edmonton, plus the suburbs (St. Albert, Sherwood Park, Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, Leduc, Beaumont, Fort Saskatchewan) and further south to Calgary. About a third of our clients are fully remote.
You email us. We talk for thirty minutes about what your business actually needs — sometimes that isn't a new website. If we're a fit, we design a real version of your homepage and send it within five business days. No deposit, no contract, no obligation. If you don't love it, you walk and keep the file. If you do, we quote a flat fee and ship in two to four weeks.
Most Edmonton clients pair the build with our local SEO retainer ($650/mo) so the new site actually ranks for “[your service] Edmonton” searches within 60 to 90 days. The retainer is where the long-term value lives — the build is intentionally affordable as the entry product.
