Website Design & Build · Revelstoke, BC
A modern website that stays modern.
Most small-business websites were built once, years ago, and quietly left to age. We build you a fast, modern one — a flat $1,500, live within two weeks — and then do the part that's usually missing: we keep it running.
For businesses whose site is dated, slow, hard to update — a tired WordPress install, a Wix or Squarespace template that's hit its ceiling — or who don't really have one at all. Every build is AI-ready: the chat-assistant slot is wired into the template from day one. We run revytechai.com on exactly the stack we build for clients.
In plain English
What you get.
A site you're happy to send people to
Modern, fast, and right on a phone — because that's where most of your customers will first see you.
Live in two weeks
From the day your content is in hand — not "sometime in the spring."
An enquiry form that actually works
Wired to your inbox or CRM and tested before launch, instead of quietly emailing an address nobody checks.
Somebody looking after it
Hosting, SSL, backups, uptime monitoring and security updates, every month, without you thinking about it.
The short version on money: a flat $1,500 for the template build, then Site Hosting from $29/mo, month-to-month with no minimum term. Every add-on has a published price further down.
Local, actually
Revelstoke web design, from actual Revelstoke.
If you've searched for Revelstoke web design, you've seen the options: template mills, agencies three time zones away, and that one person who built sites in 2016. We're the other thing — the local IT company that's run Revelstoke and Kootenay business systems since 2020, building websites the way we build everything: properly, and then maintained. We know the ski-season traffic spike, the businesses on either side of you, and what a Kootenay customer expects to find on their phone.
Based in Revelstoke, we build for businesses across the Kootenays and BC Interior — Golden, Salmon Arm, Vernon, Kelowna, Kamloops, Nelson, Cranbrook — and remotely across BC and Alberta. Want to rank locally the way this page is trying to? Focused local SEO is a flat $250 add-on, with keyword research at $100.
Live in two weeks
From "our site is embarrassing" to launched — in two weeks.
Days 1–3
Discovery & design.
We map what the site needs to do, gather your content and brand, and design the look — you review and approve before we build.
Days 3–8
Build.
Pages built, content migrated and tidied, forms and integrations wired, the site standing on managed hosting with a preview link you can click the whole way.
Days 8–12
Review & polish.
You click through the preview on your own phone and laptop and give us one consolidated round of revisions; we fix, tune and test — speed, mobile, accessibility, on-page SEO.
Week 2
Launch.
Domain cutover with redirects in place and a supervised go-live — then the hosting plan takes over: updates, security and monitoring.
Your part of the two weeks: content and photos in early, and quick sign-offs. If your scope genuinely needs longer — a big store, deep integrations — we say so on day one, not in week three.
What's included
What we build — and what's included.
| Phase / item | What you get |
|---|---|
| Discovery | What the site needs to do — who it's for, what they need to find, what a good enquiry looks like — plus an honest read on what's working (and not) on your current site. |
| Design | A clean, modern, mobile-first design built on your brand — your colours, your voice, your photos — reviewed with you before we build. |
| Page set | A defined 5–6 page build — typically Home, About, Services, Gallery, Contact, plus one flex page. Pages beyond that are a per-page add-on. |
| Copy assistance | We help shape and polish your copy from what you provide — headlines, section text, calls to action. Assistance, not ground-up copywriting. |
| Build | Fast, modern static-first pages (no plugin roulette), with accessibility and on-page SEO done properly: titles, descriptions, structured data, sitemap. |
| Content migration | We move your existing pages, images and copy across — out of WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, wherever your current site lives — tidy as we go, and set up redirects so the Google rankings you've earned don't vanish in the move. |
| Hosting & security setup | Deployed on our managed stack — Vercel hosting with Cloudflare in front: global CDN, SSL (automatic HTTPS), DNS, DDoS protection, backups, and a preview link for every change before it ships. |
| E-commerce (optional) | Small store build-outs on Shopify, WooCommerce, Square, or any platform with a solid API — an add-on on top of the template build; substantial storefronts become a Custom Integration project. |
| Databases (optional) | A proper database behind the site when it needs one — listings, inventory, bookings, member content — set up for $150 and managed with the site. |
| AI-ready by design | An AI chat-assistant slot pre-built into the template — wiring and layout ready, so adding Website AI Chat later is a drop-in, not a rebuild. |
| One revision round | A single consolidated round of revisions on the built site before launch — it's part of what keeps the build fast and the price flat. |
| Launch | Domain cutover on a domain you own, forms wired to your inbox or CRM, Google Analytics if you want it, and a supervised go-live. |
| Ongoing | Under Site Hosting: SSL, backups, uptime monitoring and security updates — no SLA or optimization hours (that's Care Plan territory). Content edits after launch are billed at $165/hr, quoted first. |
The most popular add-on isn't on this table at all: Website AI Chat — a site that answers back, with its slot already wired. What is not in the flat rate is set out plainly a little further down.
Advanced builds
Websites that do things, not just say things.
Here's a real-shape ask from a business owner:
"I want my website to show customers live pricing straight out of my point-of-sale — without me touching a thing."
That's exactly the kind of site we build. We connect the website straight to the POS — Square, Lightspeed, Clover, whatever runs your counter — so the price a customer sees online is the price on the shelf, updated the moment it changes in-store. No retyping, no export-and-upload ritual, no "update the website" on anyone's to-do list.
- Fully customized forms & appointments: intake flows, quote builders, booking that fits how you actually schedule, wired into Google Calendar, Cal.com or Calendly — not a generic contact form.
- Live data on the page: pricing, availability, inventory, hours — read straight from the systems you already run.
- Integrations with your existing software: your booking system (Jane, Housecall Pro, Checkfront), your CRM (HubSpot), your books (QuickBooks, Xero), your store and inventory (Shopify) — if it has a solid API, your website can read from it and write back.
- Interactive features & custom web apps: calculators, configurators, member areas, a Stripe checkout — the unique ask that makes your site yours.
Custom apps, advanced forms and live-data features are a flat $500 add-on; deeper multi-system plumbing is where our Custom API & Systems Integration service takes over — the website becomes one surface of the larger system we build.
The honest part
What this isn't — and when it's not worth it.
Every build has edges. Here are ours — better read now than discovered in week three.
- It isn't unlimited design. It's our template, fitted to your brand and your content. That fence is exactly what keeps the price flat and the build fast — if you want a ground-up bespoke design, this isn't it, and we'll say so.
- It isn't ground-up copywriting. We shape and polish what you give us. Somebody who knows your business still has to say what it does.
- It isn't logo or brand design. Bring your logo and colours, or we can refer you to somebody who does that properly.
- Content edits aren't bundled. Site Hosting keeps the site up, backed up and secure — it doesn't rewrite it. Edits are billed at $165/hr, quoted first, and Site Hosting carries no SLA and no optimization hours; that's Care Plan territory.
- Big stores and custom features aren't in the flat rate. They're priced add-ons, or their own integration project — and you hear which on day one, not in week three.
- When it's not worth it yet: if your current site is fine and the real problem is that nobody's finding it, that's a traffic and local-SEO conversation, not a rebuild. We'd rather tell you that than sell you a website.
What it looks like in practice
An example engagement (illustrative).
A fictional-but-realistic engagement to show the shape of a build — not a case study, and not a guarantee. Real proof arrives with our founding clients.
Silvertip Outfitters, Revelstoke Illustrative
A 2017-era site: slow on phones, impossible to update, and the person who built it moved away. RevyTech AI rebuilds it as a fast, modern eight-page site — services, seasonal gear pages, a Checkfront booking embed — migrates the content with redirects so rankings hold, and hosts it on the $29/mo plan. The template build is the flat $1,500, live in two weeks; the owner adds focused local SEO ($250) to chase "Revelstoke" searches, and updates that used to mean chasing a webmaster now just get done. The site launches with a $500 credit waiting — toward the AI chat assistant they're eyeing for next winter.
Transparent pricing
A flat $1,500 build. Hosting from $29 a month.
In this region, a five-page small-business site typically starts around $3,500 (market check, July 2026). Ours starts at a flat $1,500 — because it's our template, and the template is the point. No hourly meter, and the add-ons have real prices on them.
- Full website build
- From $1,500 flat for the template build — a defined 5–6 page set, one revision round, AI-ready wiring — delivered within two weeks. Scope beyond the template (extra pages, e-commerce, custom features) is quoted on top, in writing, before any work begins.
- Site Hosting
- From $29/mo, month-to-month with no minimum term — hosting on the Vercel + Cloudflare stack, SSL, backups, uptime monitoring and security updates. Content edits are billed at $165/hr, quoted first — Site Hosting carries no SLA and no optimization hours (that's what Care Plans are for). Heavier traffic or big online stores step the plan up, to $200+/mo. Included at no charge with any active Care Plan.
- The AI launch credit
- Every website build carries a $500 credit toward your first AI build's setup fee — good for six months from site launch. Single-use, and it doesn't stack with founding-client pricing.
- Payment terms
- 50% to start, 50% at go-live.
- If you ever leave
- We migrate the site to hosting in your own name and hand over everything, documented — your website is your asset, not our hostage.
| Add-on | Price (CAD) |

E-commerce build-outs and deeper integrations with your existing software are fixed-quoted on top of the flat build — with the number in writing before any work begins. If your site includes an AI component — a chat widget, booking automation — that component runs under a Care Plan (from $299/mo) as usual, and any active Care Plan includes Site Hosting at no charge. Prices are CAD and exclude GST/PST where applicable.
Questions
Website design FAQ.
Who owns the website?
You do — the domain, the content, and the site itself. The domain is always registered in your name, and nothing about the build locks you to us.
What does hosting cost, and what's included?
Site Hosting starts at $29/mo for a standard business site and steps up only with real traffic or e-commerce — heavy-traffic and big online stores run up to $200+/mo. It's month-to-month — no minimum term. Every plan includes hosting on a Vercel + Cloudflare stack (global CDN, DDoS protection), SSL, backups, uptime monitoring and security updates. Content edits aren't bundled in — they're billed at $165/hr as you need them, quoted first — so the monthly number stays honest and small. And Site Hosting carries no SLA and no optimization hours; that's Care Plan territory. And if you're on any active Care Plan with us, Site Hosting is included at no charge.
What if my site includes AI — a chat widget or booking automation?
Then that component runs under a Care Plan as usual (from $299/mo) — AI needs the monitoring and monthly tuning that static hosting doesn't. The nice part: any active Care Plan includes your Site Hosting at no charge, so you're never paying for both.
What's the $500 AI launch credit?
Every website we build carries a $500 credit toward your first AI build's setup fee — an AI receptionist, website chat, an automation — if you start that build within six months of your site launching. It's single-use and doesn't stack with founding-client pricing. It exists because the site is built AI-ready on purpose: when you're ready for the next step, the first step is cheaper.
Can it really be done in two weeks?
Yes — the flat-rate build is scoped to land within two weeks, and most of what makes sites drag (content limbo, slow reviews) is handled by keeping the process tight: the clock starts when your content is in hand, revisions land in one consolidated round, and you get previews you can click the whole way. If your scope genuinely needs longer — a big store, deep integrations — we say so on day one, before you commit.
Can you build an online store?
Yes — small e-commerce build-outs on Shopify, WooCommerce, Square, or any platform with a solid API. Products, checkout, and the plumbing that matters: orders flowing into QuickBooks or Xero and your inventory staying honest. Large catalogues and complex storefronts are fixed-quoted on top of the flat build, with the hosting tier sized to match.
We already have a website — do we start over?
Usually we modernize rather than start from zero — whether the current site is WordPress, GoDaddy or hand-coded HTML from 2012: keep what's working, redesign what isn't, migrate your content, and put redirects in place so the Google rankings you've earned carry over. If the old site is genuinely beyond saving, we'll say so plainly.
What happens if we leave?
Nothing dramatic — Site Hosting is month-to-month with no minimum term, and the site doesn't stop with it. We migrate it to hosting in your own name, transfer everything, and hand over the documentation — a clean exit is part of the deal. We'd rather keep you because the service is worth it, not because leaving is hard.
