Cannot recommend Redpoint enough! Brian has been a visionary creative juggernaut for years within Central Alberta. He has helped our company (Career Assistance Network) on multiple projects and supported countless partners we have referred. His vision is unmatched, and his creativity and ability to view projects from his clients' perspectives are uncanny. It's never been easier to picture a project, engage with a designer, and produce quality work than working with Redpoint. He has worked on major projects (Canadian Winter Games, City of Red Deer Campaigns) and is still able to support all kinds of clients, regardless of size and scope. If you have a project and want the best creative mind in the area, do it yourself a favour and call Redpoint.

I highly suggest working with Redpoint Creative to assist in both logo design, but also for all the related services that they offer. I had hired Redpoint Creative to help our sport club perform aa full rebrand. Brian had suggested many things from colour pairings, to historical knowledge of our club to current trends in our sport & sports on a larger scale. We were presented with an impressive amount of data & drafts of what our final product would look like, from that we chose one & we haven't looked back. Our logo is seen locally, but also has been seen nationally & the exposure it has provided some return on this long term investment. There is no question that I would happily choose Redpoint Creative again for any of our needs.

Graphs and icons showing an idea how cool our website design is

Web design & strategy that
you can understand.

We believe that the best websites are best built when we get to know businesses, owners, and their WHY. That’s why we always start by meeting over coffee to find out what your passion and purpose really is.

Then we can plan out what your web needs really are. Once we have a framework of flow and function, we can get to work on the web design, build it in WordPress, optimize it for Core Web Vitals, optimize for SEO, and then launch it.

We take pride in creating beautiful mobile optimized websites tailored to each individual business. So come join us for some coffee at one of out favourite Red Deer coffee shops, and let’s get started!

Growth & Support

Long term help to make sure you stay current & secure.

It’s important to have a long-term plan in place to make sure you stay up to date with the latest trends and web technologies, and stay in-stock and fresh with everything else. No one wants to see your corporate headshot from 1996.

We offer several options for after care service, including SEO, website maintenance, copywriting, media support, and more. Our services are available on a monthly or as-needed basis, offering flexible solutions for any budget. With our help, you can make sure that you are always secure and up-to-date with the latest trends.

Remember: websites are forever

Web design projects are large projects that require a lot of work to build. Then there is ongoing maintenance, security updates, and generating new content and media in order to remain relevant to maintain search rankings. We’ll need to put in a lot of work – ranging from constructing the initial web design, consistently optimizing for SEO, to crafting original content – to name a few.

If you want ongoing maintenance, or SEO help, let us know

Let’s get started!

We’d love to talk with you about your company and where you want to take it.

Some Questions I knew You’d Ask:

How much does a website cost for a small business?

Building a website for your small business is an important step to reach more customers and grow your business. But the cost of building a website can vary greatly depending on the features you need and the domain name you choose. The basics of website costs include hosting, domain registration, development and maintenance.

Hosting is a monthly fee that pays for the storage space on the server  where your website lives on the internet. Domain registration is an annual fee that pays for a unique address, like www.yourbusinessname.com, so customers can find you online easily.

On average, expect to pay around $500/year for these basic costs when building your small business website. However, if you need more features or additional design work this cost may go up significantly.

The cost of a website for a small business varies depending on the design and development service provider you choose. Generally, you can expect to pay anywhere from $2500 to $8000 for reputable designers who will create a unique website that reflects your brand’s personality and creativity.

Generally speaking, maintenance for small business websites ranges from $100 to $500 per month and can include updates, patches, writing and editing to keep them up to date. Understanding these costs ahead of time can help you budget appropriately and ensure that your website is always running smoothly.

How can I design my own website?

Designing your own website can be a great way to save money and express yourself creatively. It may take some time and effort, but with the right tools and resources, anyone can create a website.

There are several online platforms available such as Wix, and Squarespace that make it easy to design your own website. These platforms are great for basic websites, but if you want something more complex then you may need to spend more time on customizing the design. However, this is still a great way to save budget while creating something unique.

How do you approach design and the creative process?

When I approach a design project, I like to start by meeting up with my client over coffee and getting to know them. This helps me better understand their passions and dreams, which in turn helps me hear their story and create work that resonates with their market. We then agree on a budget and timeline for the project.

Once the basics are out of the way, I like to get hands-on with the project. This includes everything from brainstorming ideas to iterating designs until we find something that communicates well and solves the problem. Throughout this process, I make sure to involve my client every step of the way so that they feel part of the creative process with me.

After I have finished creating the design, we can part ways, or schedule a review of the project to measure feedback and ROI. After this step is completed, we discuss any changes or adjustments needed. Finally, we create a list of to-dos that need to be completed in order to move ahead with the long-term goals of the project.

What is the golden rule in website design?

The golden rule in web design is “keep it simple and user-friendly.” This means designing a website that is easy to navigate, visually appealing, and focuses on putting control in your users hands. The design should prioritize functionality and usability, while also being aesthetically pleasing and consistent in its visual elements. Careful consideration should be taken when creating a website to ensure that its design is intuitive and visitors can use it effectively to quickly meet their desired goals.
