How We Work

We build it.
We run it.

1

We learn the business first

Every engagement starts with understanding how your business actually works, not how we think it should. We ask questions, map the real workflows, and design around what you actually need before we build anything.

2

We build for simplicity, not just capability

Whether it's a website, a software tool, or an AI workflow, if it's not simple enough that anyone on your team can use it without training, it doesn't ship. We build for the person with the least patience for complexity.

3

We stay in it after delivery

Across every service (websites, software, search, AI), we stay involved after the work is done. Our ongoing Site Care handles maintenance, updates, security, and optimization, so you are never left managing the technical side yourself.

4

Zero technical burden on your team

You hired us so you wouldn't have to become a technology company. You never manage servers, worry about updates, or debug integrations. That's our job, entirely and permanently.

We're not a typical agency.

We're a build-and-stay partner for websites, software, AI, and search. There's a difference.

  • We don't disappear after delivery. Support is standard across every service.
  • We don't pitch you what you don't need. We start by understanding your business.
  • We don't fit you into our template. We design around how you actually work.
  • We don't leave you to manage hosting, updates, or security. That's what Site Care is for.
  • We don't require technical knowledge from your team, ever.
  • We don't move on until it's working.

Common Questions

Questions, answered.

What does Independent Commerce do?
We build and run websites, custom software, AI automation, and search visibility for businesses that want to grow without managing the technical side themselves. We design it, build it, and keep it running.
What areas does Independent Commerce serve?
We work remotely with businesses anywhere in Canada. We are based in Edmonton, Alberta, but because everything we do is delivered remotely, your location is never a limit. We regularly work with clients in Calgary, Vancouver, Toronto, and beyond.
Do you only build websites, or software and AI too?
All of it. Alongside websites we build custom software, AI automation workflows, and AI strategy consulting, plus Total Search Optimization to help you show up in both Google and AI answers.
What is TSO (Total Search Optimization)?
TSO combines traditional SEO with AEO and GEO, the practice of getting your business cited in AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini. We scan how you appear across all of them, then fix what is holding you back. It is powered by our AnswerRank AI platform.
Do you support the work after it launches?
Yes. We stay involved after delivery through Site Care, our ongoing service covering hosting, maintenance, security, and updates across websites, software, and search, so you are never left managing the technical side.
How much does a project cost?
It depends on scope. A website is a different investment than a custom software platform or an ongoing search program. Tell us what you are trying to solve and we will give you a straight, itemized quote before any work starts.
