How it works
A straightforward path from first conversation to launch.
No work begins until the scope and price are clear in writing.
- 01
Start with the real problem
We talk through your goals, your current tools, and the parts of the work that are getting in the way.
- 02
Agree on the plan
A written proposal sets out the scope, timeline, milestones, price, and ownership terms before work begins.
- 03
Build and review together
Every project runs on its own timeline, agreed in writing before work starts. You get weekly updates and clear opportunities to review the work as it takes shape.
- 04
Launch with a proper handoff
We stay available after launch. Handover can include documentation, access details, and a walkthrough for your team.

What clients say
We keep our clients' identities private — no names, no logos. These quotes are anonymized before being shared here.
Client feedback (anonymized)
“Our old site barely showed up in local search, and patients kept calling to ask questions the site should have answered. After the redesign, appointment requests come through the site itself, and the front desk handles far fewer routine calls.”
Dental clinic, Ontario
Client feedback (anonymized)
“We tracked estimates and job details in spreadsheets for years, and things kept slipping through the cracks. Spyglass built a simple internal system our crew actually uses, and the final invoice matched the written quote exactly.”
Construction company, Alberta
Client feedback (anonymized)
“The weekly updates meant we always knew where the project stood, and we spoke directly to the developers building it. The product shipped on the agreed deadline, and we own the code outright.”

Before we start
Who we're not for
We'd rather be upfront than waste your time. Spyglass is not the right fit if any of these sound like you.
You're looking for the cheapest option on the market. We're not the cheapest — we're the best value for what you get.
You want a $99 template website. We build from scratch, every time.
You need everything done in 48 hours. Good work takes time, and we won't cut corners.
You want to micromanage every pixel. We collaborate closely, but we need room to do our best work.
You're not ready to invest in your business. We build for companies that are serious about growth.
Straight answers
Frequently asked questions
The questions we hear most often from business owners, answered honestly. If yours isn't here, ask us directly.
Every project is different. Our work ranges from $300 for a simple site to $30,000+ for complex custom builds, and timelines range from 1 day to 6 months depending on scope. We always aim to deliver the most professional result as quickly as possible. Final pricing is agreed in writing before any work begins.
Timelines depend entirely on the scope. A focused fix can ship in a day. A full custom system can take several months. We'll give you a specific timeline in the proposal, and we stick to it.
The same people you speak with before the work begins. We are a team of 10 engineers, designers, and specialists, and we don't hand projects off to junior teams or outside contractors. You communicate directly with the people building your product.
We review the work with you at set checkpoints, so big surprises are rare. If the first direction isn't right, we revise it based on your feedback — that's part of the process, not an extra charge. What's included is set out in the written proposal, so nothing is left to guesswork.
We stand behind what's in the written proposal: the agreed scope, the price, and the deadline. If something we built doesn't work as specified, we fix it. And because you own everything we deliver, you are never locked in with us.
We choose the stack to fit the project instead of forcing one tool on everything. Most of our web work is built with modern frameworks such as Next.js and TypeScript, and our mobile apps are developed natively for iOS and Android. Your proposal explains exactly what we plan to use and why.
Yes. We are based in Ontario, and we work with clients across Canada as well as internationally. Most of the collaboration happens over email and scheduled calls, so distance rarely gets in the way.
Interac e-Transfer and bank transfer cover most of our Canadian clients, and we can arrange other methods where needed. Larger projects are split across milestones, with the full payment schedule agreed in writing before work begins.
Yes. We remain available after launch for fixes, updates, and further development. Ongoing work is scoped and priced like any other project — there are no mandatory monthly retainers.
Send a message through the contact form below, or email us directly. We'll review your situation and send a free audit with three concrete improvements — no strings attached. If you want to work together after that, you'll receive one clear written proposal.

About Spyglass
Good technology starts with listening.
We develop websites, custom software, private business systems, automated email platforms, and mobile apps for businesses tired of the unnecessarily high costs and bureaucracy associated with agencies.
We are a small, focused team of 10 — engineers, designers, and experts — based in Ontario. We build websites, custom software, private business systems, and mobile apps for Canadian and international clients.
No account managers. No teams of beginners. No hidden costs. Just a small team that actually builds what it sells.
We saw too many small businesses spending over $30,000 on agency projects that dragged on for 6 months, required 4 different points of contact, and ultimately resulted in a website that could have been built in just 3 weeks.
We started Spyglass to do things differently. No unproductive meetings. No $10,000 strategy phases. No waiting weeks for a reply. Just work getting done — on time and at a reasonable price.
- You speak directly to the people working on your project. No middlemen.
- Fixed pricing. No surprises or unexpected scope creep.
- Weekly updates. You always know exactly where the process stands.
- We don't outsource the work. Everything is developed in-house.
- We don't disappear after launch. We remain available.
- You own everything we create. Period.
- Concrete work, concrete results.
- Clear pricing; no mandatory monthly retainers.
- Always delivered on time.
- Direct communication with developers.
- Weekly updates; no communication gaps.
- You own everything. No forced commitments.
- Conversion-optimized websites
- Custom web applications

Free audit — We review your current system and send three specific improvement proposals. No strings attached.
One clear proposal — If you choose us, we provide a single price quote. No endless rounds of meetings or monthly retainer contracts.
Implementation — Weekly updates. Direct contact with the team executing the project.
Handover — Projects are completed by the agreed deadline. Results are visible immediately.
Ongoing support — You can count on us even after launch. We don't just disappear without a trace.
No agency fluff. No empty promises. No middlemen. Just solutions that work — delivered on time and at a fair price.
