What’s actually included
One price. This is the whole list, not the headline items.
The website
Built for your business — your services, your words, your photos. Up to 10 pages.
Unlimited changes
Send as many as you like. Most done within 48 hours. Never a change fee.
Hosting
Fast hosting included. No separate bill, no surprise renewal.
Your domain
Registered and renewed for you. Registered in your name — you own it.
SSL certificate
The padlock. Renewed automatically, forever.
Security & backups
Monitored, backed up, patched. If something breaks we fix it.
Uptime monitoring
We’re told if your site goes down — usually before you’d notice.
Mobile & speed
Fast on a phone, which is where most of your visitors are.
Price locked
$197 today, $197 in ten years. Locked the day you join.
What’s not included
Everyone in this business publishes what you get. Almost nobody publishes what you don’t. So here it is — and this is the complete list, not a shorter one with a longer version hiding in the terms.
Full rebrands
New logo, new identity. Real work, quoted honestly.
Online stores and payments
Ecommerce is a different build. We’ll quote it.
Custom apps, portals, booking systems
Also quoted separately.
More than 10 pages
Perfectly fine. Just quoted.
One change at a time
Send as many as you like — they go in a queue and come back in order, usually within 48 hours. Unlimited means unlimited, not simultaneous.
The price you’re quoted is never the price you pay
You paid an agency three thousand dollars. Then came the hosting bill, the SSL renewal, the domain invoice, and $150 an hour to change your opening hours — four minutes of work, billed at a quarter of an hour.
Or you’re on a retainer with someone who hasn’t touched the site in months. Check the footer. If the copyright year is wrong, you already know.
Or you built it yourself two years ago, you hate maintaining it, and you keep meaning to fix it.
The whole industry sells websites the way airlines sell seats. We priced it the other way.
Three steps, seven days
Pay the first month
$47 and we start. Card on file, no contract, nothing else due.
Ten minutes of input
A short form about your business. If we don’t hear back we build from what’s already public and adjust after.
Live in seven days
Site, hosting, domain and SSL all switched on. After that, email a change and it’s done — usually within 48 hours.
Need it faster than seven days? That’s a different product — we’ll point you at websitecalgary.com, which is built for it.

Thirty days. Then it’s yours either way.
If you don’t want it in the first thirty days, tell us and we’ll refund the first month. You keep the site and the domain regardless — the domain was registered in your name from day one, so there’s nothing for us to hold onto.
The ones people actually ask
What’s the catch?
It’s a subscription. We make nothing on day one — we only make money if you stay. You can cancel any month and take the site and domain with you, which means if you leave in month two we lose money on you. That’s the whole model. It only works if we’re actually good, and it’s why you can expect an answer when you send a change.
How can you do this with no setup fee?
Because the build genuinely isn’t the expensive part anymore, and hasn’t been for a while. Any agency still charging $3,000 for it is charging you for their sales process. What actually costs money is the years afterward — hosting it, securing it, and doing the work when something needs to change. That’s what the monthly is.
If I cancel in month two, do I really keep the site?
Yes. The site, the domain and the content go with you, and the domain is registered in your name from day one. We’ll export everything and hand it over. No notice period, no penalty, nothing held back.
Is it a template?
It’s built for your business — your services, your words, your photos, your structure. It isn’t you choosing a theme and filling in blanks.
Is AI building my website?
AI does part of the build, the same as it does at most agencies now — the ones being honest about it, anyway. What you’re paying for is a person directing it and then owning it afterward. The build isn’t the hard part. Somebody still being there in three years is.
What counts as a change?
New page, new photos, changed hours, seasonal promo, price updates, new team members, new services. Send it and it gets done. Rebrands, online stores and custom apps are bigger jobs — those get quoted honestly, and they’re listed above.
Who owns the domain?
You do. It’s registered in your name from day one, not ours, and we renew it as part of the monthly. If you leave, you take it — there is nothing to transfer out of our account because it was never in it.
How is this different from Squarespace or Wix?
Those sell you software. You still build it, update it and fix it yourself. Here you send an email and it’s done. If you enjoy doing it and have the time, Squarespace is honestly fine — most business owners don’t.
Are you a real company?
Bow Tie Kreative, based in Calgary, Alberta, run by Ryan Perez for over twenty years. The client sites above are live — click them. The endorsements are real people who worked with us.
What if I already have a website?
We build the new one and keep what’s worth keeping — your domain, your rankings, your content. Your current site stays up until the new one’s ready, and we redirect the old pages so nothing gets lost.
$47 for the first month.
Then $197 a month, everything in it, locked. Or $1,970 for the year and two months free. Cancel any month and take the site and the domain with you.
