I'm Long, a software engineer and the founder of BitForward. BitForward is a web design and software development studio in Calgary, Alberta. I build custom websites, web apps and software for service businesses across Canada.
Plenty of small business websites look fine but don't bring in much work. The sites I build have one job: getting people to call, book or ask for a quote.
You'll work with me from the first call to launch and beyond, with no account managers or handoffs. You can pay monthly with nothing upfront or pay once, and you'll know exactly what's included before I start.
Web design and development, all in one place.

Website Redesign
If your business has outgrown its website, I'll help it catch up. I keep what works, fix what doesn't, and make the site look as good as the work you do.
-
Lead Generation
If people visit your site but rarely get in touch, I'll work out why and fix it. Clear calls to action, reviews and simple enquiry forms help more of your visitors call or ask for a quote.
-
Website Maintenance
Your website needs looking after once it's live. I handle hosting, security and updates, and keep improving the site as your business changes, so it stays fast and up to date.
Selected work
A selection of client work and design concepts for local service businesses. Each one is designed to earn trust and bring in customers.
See all work
Designed for the moment a visitor decides to trust you.
Customers decide whether to trust you in seconds, often before they ever call. If your website feels dated or unclear, they quietly choose someone else.
I design every page to earn that trust, so the right customers feel confident choosing you and find it easy to get in touch.
-
Custom design for your business
I design every page around your business and your customers, then hand-code it from scratch. You won't get a template or a generic AI layout, so your site looks like yours.
-
Built to generate enquiries
Clear service pages, visible calls to action, and simple contact forms make it easier for interested visitors to take the next step.
-
Fast, mobile-friendly development
I build websites that fit any screen and load quickly, using modern technology, with care for accessibility and ease of use.
-
SEO-ready from the start
I set up the technical and on-page SEO basics as I build, so search engines can find your pages and understand them.
-
A Calgary-based partner
You'll work directly with me. I'm based in Calgary and I know what service businesses here and in nearby communities need.
-
Transparent pricing and scope
You'll know what your project includes and what it costs before I start building, and I won't add features you don't need.
From ideas to launch, a process built for you.
-
Step 1: Discovery
I start with a relaxed 20-minute call about your business, your customers and your goals. Within 3 business days, you'll get a free homepage design made just for you.
-
Step 2: Design
When you're ready to go ahead, I design every page around how your customers think and decide. We refine the details together until the site feels clear, credible and like your business.
-
Step 3: Development
I build your website by hand on a fast, modern foundation, so it loads quickly, works well on every device and is easy for customers to find in search.
-
Step 4: Launch
When you're happy with it, I take your website live, connect your Google Business Profile and analytics, and check that every enquiry reaches you.
-
Step 5: Growth
Your website can change as your business does. If you add a service, open a new location or have a new idea, I'm here to help your site keep up.

Get in touch What does BitForward do, and who do you work with?
BitForward is a Calgary-based web design and software development studio. I build fast, high-converting websites for service businesses of all kinds and sizes. If customers find you online before they call, book or request a quote, I can help.
How much does a website cost?
Monthly plans start at $99/month with $0 upfront, or you can pay once from $499. Premium is a custom quote, typically starting at $2,500. All prices are in CAD, and you'll get a clear proposal before I start.
How long does a website project take?
Most websites launch within 2–6 weeks. If you start with a free homepage mockup, it comes first, usually within 3 business days. Larger sites, or projects waiting on content, can take longer. We’ll agree on a timeline at the start.
How is BitForward different from a template or DIY website builder?
Templates give you a layout thousands of businesses share, which is fine if you need something online quickly. I design from a blank page around your services and customers, so it’s made for your business. Monthly plans have nothing upfront.
What happens after launch? Do I own my website?
Your domain and content are always yours. Pay once, and the site is yours after full payment. On a monthly plan, I look after it, and you can ask me to transfer it after 12 payments or an early payoff.
What’s the first step?
Send me a message through the contact page. I’ll reply within 2 business days to learn about your business, then send a clear quote. Or request a free homepage mockup to see the design first. You can also email hello@bitforward.ca.
