Calgary-Based · Serving Clients Worldwide

WordPress websites that work as hard as you do

Small businesses and non-profits deserve a website that actually brings in customers and donors — without the agency price tag or the runaround. I design, build, and personally care for it, whether you’re across town in Calgary or across the world.

1Person You Talk To
The One-Person Show Advantage

No Account Managers. No Layers. Just Your Website, Done Right.

Saving Grace Web is a one-person operation — which means every project gets my full attention, from the first conversation to launch day and beyond. No junior designer hand-offs, no waiting three days for a simple update, no agency markup padding your invoice.

Direct communication

Call, text, or email me — you’ll never get bounced between departments.

Flexible Collaboration, Calgary-Based

I believe great work is built through clear communication, not a specific location. Most projects are completed through virtual collaboration using Zoom, allowing for an efficient and seamless process wherever you are.

For Calgary-area clients who prefer to meet in person, professional meeting spaces can be arranged at a convenient location for consultations, strategy sessions, and project discussions.

Fair, transparent pricing

Clear package pricing with no hidden fees or surprise invoices — including nonprofit-friendly options.

Who I Work With

Local Roots, Global Reach

Based in Calgary, but not limited to it. I build for small businesses, charities, and mission-driven teams wherever they happen to be.

Local Small Businesses

Calgary shops, restaurants, and service providers who need a site that brings in real, paying customers.

Non-Profits & Charities

Mission-driven organizations that need a site built to earn trust and drive donations, sign-ups, or volunteers.

Clients Around the World

Remote-friendly by design — I work for organizations across Canada, the U.S., the U.K., and beyond.

Portrait of Grace Cruz
Designer & Developer
Meet the Founder

Hi, I’m Grace

I’m a Calgary-based web designer and front-end developer with over a decade of experience building responsive, accessible, and genuinely effective websites. I’ve spent much of my career building digital platforms for non-profit, ministry, and corporate organizations — places where the website isn’t just a brochure, it’s the thing driving donations, sign-ups, and real action.

I own every project end-to-end: strategy, wireframes, design, and hand-written, pixel-perfect code. That full-stack approach is exactly what Saving Grace Web brings to clients everywhere — the same care and craft I’ve brought to national and international campaigns, sized right for you.

Still just one point of contact

Saving Grace Web is me — Grace. I design and build every site myself, and I’m who you’ll always talk to, no matter where you’re based. On the rare project that needs an extra set of specialized hands, I bring in trusted subcontractors, but I stay in charge of the project from start to finish. You never get passed off.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a typical project take?

Most Starter and Growth projects take 2–4 weeks from kickoff to launch, depending on how quickly content and feedback come together. Premium projects vary based on scope.

Do I own my website once it’s built?

Yes. Once your project is paid in full, the site and its content are yours. Care plans are optional, not required, to keep using your site.

Do you work with clients outside of Calgary?

Absolutely — most of my process happens over Zoom and email regardless of location, and I’ve worked with clients across Canada, the U.S., the U.K., and beyond. Time zones are rarely an issue.

Do you offer special pricing for non-profits?

Yes. I’ve built for a number of non-profit and ministry organizations and I’m happy to talk through options that fit a mission-driven budget — just mention it when we chat.

Do we meet in person or over Zoom?

Almost everything happens over Zoom — it’s efficient and works with your schedule anywhere in the world. If you’re based in Calgary and would prefer to meet in person, just ask and we’ll set it up.

What if I already have a domain or hosting?

No problem — I can work with your existing domain and hosting, or help you move to a better setup if yours is outdated or unreliable.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes, most packages can be split into a deposit and milestone payments. We’ll agree on a schedule before work begins.

Can you help with content and copywriting?

Absolutely. Copywriting is available as an add-on if you’d rather not write the words yourself.

What happens after my site launches?

You can choose a monthly Care Plan for hosting, updates, and support, or handle things yourself — the choice is entirely up to you.
