Web design in Inglewood
I design and build websites for Inglewood businesses that show off their character and make it easy to visit, eat, shop or catch a show. I'm in Calgary and meet in person.
Free homepage teardown for your Inglewood business
Send me your site. I’ll look at it the way a local customer would and tell you what I’d change first. Coffee in the neighbourhood is on me if you want to talk it through.
The neighbourhood
Inglewood is one of Calgary's oldest neighbourhoods, with a historic main street along 9th Avenue SE. It is known for antique and vintage shops, independent retailers, restaurants, breweries and live music venues. The area draws locals and visitors from across the city, especially evenings and weekends.

How people find businesses here
People search for Inglewood as a destination: "inglewood calgary shops", "live music inglewood", "brewery inglewood". Many plan a visit in advance, so searches happen at home as often as on the street.
Your Google Business Profile and a clear address block do most of the local work. The website gives Google something to confirm, and gives the person searching a reason to choose you over the place next door.
What your website should do
An Inglewood site has three jobs: current hours, what is on tonight, and the story behind the place. I build an events or shows section you can update yourself, keep hours accurate for every day of the week, and give the history and personality of the business real room.
I’m based in Calgary, so we can meet in person, walk the space if it helps, and take photos that look like the real place.
Inglewood: common questions
On a simple events page you edit yourself, with date, time, who is playing, cover and a ticket link if you use one. Each event can have its own shareable page so bands and guests can post it. Past events drop off automatically. I keep it easy enough to update from a phone on a busy afternoon.
Yes, briefly. The age and story of the street are part of why people come. If your building has a past or your shop has been here a long time, a short, accurate history section gives visitors a reason to choose you and something to share. I keep it factual and skip anything you cannot confirm.
Show a rotating selection rather than full inventory. One-of-a-kind items sell quickly, so a full catalogue goes stale. A "new in this week" gallery you update from your phone, with a note to call or message about a piece, brings people in without promising stock you no longer have.
