Overview
Custom builds for Calgary operations
Website development in Calgary often means building a tool rather than a brochure. An oilfield supplier may want customers to log in and download certificates for their own orders. A property manager may need tenants to submit maintenance requests with photos. A trades company could use an estimate calculator that turns square footage and material choices into a ballpark price. These jobs are awkward in a page builder and much cleaner as purpose-written PHP. The result loads quickly, does exactly the job it was built for and does not drag along dozens of features nobody asked for. It can also share a look with your public website, so customers see one consistent company rather than a separate system bolted onto the side.
Custom development starts with the workflow, not the screens. We sit down with the people who will use the system, map each step from the first form to the final email, and agree on what the first version must do and what can wait. Scoping that tightly keeps cost under control and gets a working tool in front of staff sooner, so their feedback shapes the next round. Everything agreed in that session is written into a short specification you can read and approve, which becomes the checklist for testing before launch. If a requirement changes later, the specification changes with it, so nobody is relying on memory of an old meeting.
Everything we write is yours: the code, the database and the documentation. Sites run on standard hosting with PHP and MySQL, so you are not tied to a platform that charges per user or per record. Where a public marketing site is also needed, it can sit on WordPress alongside the custom application, letting staff edit pages while the tool handles the business logic. Security is built in rather than added at the end: inputs are validated, passwords are hashed, access is checked on every page, and sensitive records stay out of public search results. Updates to the server software are applied on a schedule so the application does not quietly fall behind.

FAQ
Website Development in Calgary: questions
What Calgary clients ask about website development. Tap a question to see our answer.
Have a different question?Write to us and the answer comes from the people who would build your site.
When does a business need custom development instead of WordPress?
TTTwo Trees Studio
When the core of the project is data and logic rather than pages: logins with different permissions, calculations, records that change daily or links to internal systems. WordPress can stretch to cover some of this, but past a certain point a dedicated application is simpler to build, faster to run and easier to maintain. We will tell you honestly which side of that line you are on.
How much does custom website development cost?
TTTwo Trees Studio
Corporate, at $3,490, includes as many as 25 pages along with e-commerce and custom PHP, which suits many smaller tools. Larger applications are priced on request after a scoping meeting. You receive a written description of the work and the price before any code is written, and changes to scope are quoted before they are made.
Can you take over a custom system someone else wrote?
TTTwo Trees Studio
Sometimes. We review the code first to see whether it is reasonably structured and documented. If it is, we can maintain and extend it. If the code is fragile or depends on outdated software, we will explain the risks and the options, which may include rebuilding parts of it in stages rather than all at once.
Where will the application be hosted?
TTTwo Trees Studio
On standard PHP hosting, either an account you already have or one we set up in your name. Because the code does not depend on a special platform, you can move it later if your needs change. We keep backups of the files and database as part of any care plan.
