About Twenty97
A design and development team in Edmonton that keeps its own work running.
We started because too many clients arrived with a good-looking site nobody could update and a developer who had stopped replying.
Why we work this way
Design and development in the same room
A logo that only works at one size, a design nobody costed, a site with no owner after launch. All of it comes from splitting one job across separate vendors. We kept design, development, and maintenance in one team so there is nobody to blame and nothing to hand off.
It also means we say no sometimes. If a project needs a specialist we do not have, we tell you at the planning call instead of learning on your budget.
Plain answers
We quote in writing, explain trade-offs in normal words, and tell you when something is not worth building.
Work you own
Source files, accounts, and hosting are in your name. Leaving us should never mean rebuilding from scratch.
Still here after launch
Most clients stay on a maintenance plan. Their sites get faster and cheaper to change over time, not worse.
The team
Designers, developers, and one person keeping the schedule honest.
Our COO
Scoping, scheduling, and client care
Writes the scope, holds the timeline, and is the person to call when you want to know where a project stands.
Design and development
UI/UX, front end, back end, apps
Small pods of two or three people per project, so the same faces stay with you from wireframe to launch.
Support and marketing
Maintenance, social, campaigns
Handles updates, backups, posts, and ad accounts once your project is live and running.
Where we work
Edmonton first, Alberta and beyond by video call
Our office is in Edmonton and we meet clients in person across the city and in Calgary. Everything else runs on scheduled video calls and a shared staging link, which is how we work with schools and shops outside the province.
- Edmonton, in person
- Calgary, in person most weeks
- Rest of Canada and international, remote
Start with a thirty minute call.
Bring your current site, a list of complaints, or a sketch on paper. We will tell you what we would do and what it costs.
