Calgary web designthat works as hardas you do.
I’m Jody Gristwood. I design fast, mobile-first websites, get them found on Google, and create logos people remember, for Calgary businesses that want to look as good online as they are in person.
The short version
No templates, no account managers, no runaround. You work directly with the person designing your site, from the first sketch to the day it ranks.
What I do best
Three disciplines that work together: a site that looks great, gets found, and carries a brand people recognize.
SEO
Technical, on-page and local SEO that puts you in front of the right customers on Google Search and Google Maps for the searches that actually bring in business.
Logo Design
Distinctive marks that work everywhere, from a favicon to a truck wrap. Pick 1, 3 or 5 original concepts, with unlimited revisions until it’s exactly right.

About
A one-person studio, on purpose.
I started Gristwood Design to give small businesses the kind of attention big agencies save for big clients. When you hire me, you get me: the same person on the first call, in the design files, and on the phone after launch.
I’ve designed and launched websites for businesses across Calgary and Alberta, including roofers and renovators, spas and clinics, realtors, immigration consultants and driving schools. Every one is built mobile-first, tuned for speed and set up to rank.

FAQ
Good questions
How much does a website cost?
Every business needs something a little different, so I quote each project individually after a quick conversation about your goals, the pages you need and any features like booking or online sales. The quote is free and there’s no obligation.
Can you redesign my existing website?
Absolutely. Many of my projects are redesigns. I’ll keep what’s working (your content, your search rankings) and rebuild the rest with a modern, mobile-first design that loads fast.
Will I be able to update the website myself?
Yes. I build on easy-to-use platforms like WordPress and walk you through how to edit text, swap images and add pages. If you’d rather not, I can handle updates for you.
Do you offer SEO for Calgary businesses?
Yes. Local SEO is one of my specialties. I optimize your site, Google Business Profile and local listings so you show up when people in Calgary search for what you do. Monthly SEO plans are available. See SEO services.
What happens after my website launches?
I don’t disappear. I offer ongoing support for as long as you need it, including security updates, weekly backups and content changes, so your site stays fast, safe and current.
