We started Solutions Lab to offer something we kept seeing missing: dependable, senior-quality technical work for businesses that don't need, or want, a large agency.
We build websites, custom software and the infrastructure behind them, and we stay on after launch to host, maintain and support what we've built.
Every project has one accountable lead who scopes it, oversees the build and remains your point of contact afterwards. When the work calls for specialist skills, we bring in trusted consultants from our network and manage them for you.
That model lets us scale to the size of each project, from a single website to a complete system, without the overhead of a large agency.
A senior core team, extended by trusted specialists as each project requires.
Our core team leads every engagement across design, development, infrastructure and client support. For specialized needs, from branding and copywriting to security and data work, we bring in vetted consultants and manage them under one plan, one schedule and one point of contact.
However many specialists are involved, you always know who is responsible for your project.
A few things we believe about technology for small businesses.
Most small businesses don't need complex systems. We build what solves today's problem and leave room to grow.
Most of your customers will find you on a phone. Every site we build is fast and works well on any screen.
Backups, updates and secure hosting are part of the setup from day one, not added after something goes wrong.
A website only helps if people can find it. We build with search in mind: clear content, fast pages and the basics done right.
You shouldn't need us to change your hours or add a photo. We set things up so routine updates are easy to do yourself.
We're based in Calgary and you deal with us directly. When something needs attention, you know exactly who to contact.
