Local, not outsourced
Calgary-based, Albertan-owned — you work with the people who build and host your site, not a white-label desk overseas
overunity.ca
Custom sites for Alberta businesses
Individuals & small teams — fast, bespoke websites hosted on our own servers in Calgary
What you get
Websites
Speed you can feel
Custom design and performance-minded builds on enterprise-grade hardware we run ourselves
25 years, small team
Business, software, and IT in one place — we keep our client list tight so you get real attention
Bespoke websites, hosted where we can stand behind them
We focus on self-hosted, on-prem infrastructure — your site lives on servers we own and operate in Alberta, not on a black-box platform where nobody picks up the phone. That is how we deliver high performance and honest hosting for the clients we choose to work with.
If you care about the stack
We still use modern tools when they fit the job, and we migrate sites from other platforms when you have outgrown them. Happy to go deep on options when you reach out — the public-facing story is simple: local people, solid hardware, a site that works for your business.
The short version
“You mustn’t be afraid to dream a little bit bigger, darling.”
Inception
A template is the small ask. A site built around how you work, hosted on servers we run, is the bigger one.
From a one-page presence to a site with a blog, booking, and online sales, it stays bespoke. The same crew designs it, deploys it, and answers when it breaks.
The short version
“We’re lighter, we’re faster, and if that doesn’t work, we’re nastier.”
Ford v Ferrari
Our websites are performant as hell, on red-hot hardware we own. Lighter and faster, because we built everything from scratch.
If that doesn't work, we're nastier. Same ethos as the car.

Why build and host websites with us
Template DIY versus a Calgary team that designs, ships, and runs the stack for you.
You should not have to moonlight as a DNS engineer, theme debugger, or performance tuner just to get a credible site online.
The big DIY platforms sell “easy”—then leave you with templates, plug-ins, domain records, SSL renewals, and performance work when something breaks.
We treat a website like a product: discovery, design, build, launch, and hosting on hardware we run—with one team accountable from first sketch to uptime. You bring the business; we bring the technical work, the hosting, and the follow-through when you need changes.

If you already live in WordPress or a builder and love it, we are not here to shame your choice—we step in when you want a bespoke build, a faster hand-off, and someone local who picks up the phone.
Built, not assembled
A template can look fine. It cannot be accountable.
The same crew designs it, deploys it, and runs the server it lives on. When something breaks there is no vendor to blame.

Hosting we deploy and stand behind
We design, deploy, and host on servers we run in Alberta — performance, reliability, and pricing that stays honest. Essentials pairs a rapid refresh build with focused hosting, a monthly performance report, and real-time analytics. Professional is the path most teams pick when you need a larger site, custom dynamic forms, a mailing list and newsletter signup, Google reviews on the site, and monthly SEO work. Business adds local search management across Google, Bing, and Apple, Scribe customer-managed blog, and integrated commerce and payments on top of that Professional baseline. Domain email is a separate service — see our Email page. We still start with a short conversation so the quote matches reality — use Contact below when you are ready.

The parts of a website package that matter after launch — tap a card for a closer look.
Email on your domain
Mailboxes we host and run beside your site — one crew when something needs fixing.
Contact & dynamic forms
A simple inquiry box when that is enough — or a form that adapts to what the visitor chose.
Mailing list
Newsletters and announcements from your domain — not a separate mass-mail tool you have to learn.
Google reviews
Real reviews from Google on your site — social proof without a DIY API project.
Monthly SEO improvements
Search visibility that keeps moving after launch — not a one-time checklist filed away.
Search engine marketing
Google Ads from the portal — $99/mo self-serve or fully managed at 10% of your ad spend.
Real-time analytics
See who is on your site now — privacy-friendly numbers without ad-industry tracking.
Monthly reporting
One report each month — visits, clicks, sources, referrals, trends, and what to fix next, not three dashboards to stitch together.
Scribe
Scribe on your site — AI-assisted drafts, generated images, and 1,500–2,500 word articles you steer and publish.
Business tier
Local search
Map listings on Google, Bing, and Apple — managed for you so nearby customers find you first.
Business tier
E‑commerce & payments
Sell online when you are ready — card checkout and crypto where that matches how you operate.

Add-ons stack on Essentials, Professional, or Business hosting — they are not a separate website product. Local search puts your business on Google, Bing, and Apple Maps and pulls your reviews onto the site we host; because we already manage your website, it is half our standalone price — see the full breakdown on the Local search page. Autoscribe is for teams who want us to research, draft, and publish for them instead of using Scribe — the AI-assisted blog included on Business hosting — $120/month for one post or $200/month for two, with your approval before anything goes live. SEM adds Google Ads through the portal — $99/month self-serve or 10% of ad spend when we manage campaigns for you; see the SEM page for the full breakdown. Tell us in Contact which add-ons fit and where you want posts or campaigns syndicated.
