Question 1

What is a realistic budget for web design in Edmonton vs. a cheap site builder?

Accepted Answer

Budgeting is about "cost" vs. "investment." A $500 cookiecutter template is often a "lazy website"—it just sits there. Our focus on web design in Edmonton is building "Harder Working Websites" that automate your operations and lead generation. While DIY builders have low upfront costs, they often lack the SEO infrastructure and functional depth required to actually grow a business. We build engines that eventually pay for themselves.

Question 2

How long does professional website development actually take?

Accepted Answer

Because we have a streamlined, local inhouse team, we move faster than most. A highperformance Edmonton web design project typically goes from discovery to launch in just 2 to 4 weeks. We value your time and aim to get your "business engine" running as quickly as possible without cutting corners on quality or testing.

Question 3

I’m worried a custom site will be too hard for my team to manage. Is it complicated?

Accepted Answer

It’s actually the opposite because we build with your 100% unique business workflows in mind. Most "hard to manage" fears come from bloated systems with confusing thirdparty plugins. We create custom templates specifically for your brand so your site never looks cookiecutter and content creation is easy for your staff. We use ShoutCMS because it allows nontechnical users to manage operations with ease. You get full control over your content and marketing without needing a developer on speed dial for every minor update.

Question 4

My team already knows WordPress. Why would we switch to ShoutCMS?

Accepted Answer

WordPress is common, but it often becomes a "plugin nightmare" that requires constant security patches. ShoutCMS is a secure, allinone ecosystem with no "bloat" and no broken plugins. It’s more intuitive than WP, and its searchfirst architecture allows for incredibly fast indexing, sometimes ranking new pages in a matter of hours. It’s about moving from a "patchwork" site to a professional business platform.

Question 5

Why doesn’t my current business show up in Edmonton Google searches?

Accepted Answer

Visibility requires more than just a "pretty" design; it requires a solid technical foundation. Our Edmonton SEO strategy is baked into the DNA of your web design from day one. We focus on technical optimization, mobilefirst performance, and automated structured data so search engines can easily categorize and rank your business for the terms your customers are actually using.

Question 6

Will a new website actually make my business successful?

Accepted Answer

A website is a tool; a successful website is a business asset. Success is measured by ROI: Are you spending less time on manual admin? Are you getting higherquality leads? We design sites that build immediate trust and automate the "boring stuff," allowing you to focus on running your business while your website handles the heavy lifting.

Question 7

I don’t know what I’ll need in 5 years. Will this site become obsolete?

Accepted Answer

We build modularly so your Edmonton website grows with you. Whether you need a simple leadgen site today or a complex member portal and automated eCommerce billing 5 years from now, our platform is designed to scale. You won't need to rebuild from scratch every time your business needs evolve.

Question 8

What do ongoing costs and support look like after the site is live?

Accepted Answer

We are your longterm Edmonton web design partner, not a "launch and leave" agency. Our standard hosting starts at $59 per month, which includes security updates, CMS upgrades, and secure Canadian hosting. We offer transparent support tiers so you always know your site is protected and performing at its peak.

Question 9

What happens if I stop working with Mediashaker? Do I own my site?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You own your content and your design files. We believe in earning your business every month through results, not by "holding your data hostage." If you ever decide to move on, your digital assets go with you. Your success is our priority, regardless of where your business journey takes you.
