We believe that every brand has a unique voice, strength, style.
One that sets it apart from the rest. We think your website should, too.
Nifty is a Calgary-based web design and graphic design studio that puts your business first. Our mission is to help make your business stand out, to make an impact, and to keep your customers coming back to you.
We believe that your branding and websites should be simple, intuitive, and unique; above all, they should get you more business.
Here's what we do:
web design
We design websites that are as unique as your business is. If your company isn't based on a template, why should your website be?
graphic design
Programs, way-finding, and bar menus, oh my! We create all sorts of event materials, ads, flyers, posters, and more, to make you look good.
branding & logos
From fun to professional, we create branding guidelines and logos using strong typography and graphic elements that reflect your business.
e-commerce
Selling clothes? Memberships? Tickets to an event? Not only will we incorporate the sales into your site, we’ll do it in a way that integrates with your day-to-day operations.
seo
Back-end search engine optimization - that integrates with your images and copy - helps to put your website on the front page, bringing more customers to you.
copywriting
Words aren’t your thing? We have you covered. We can provide all the copy you need, and improve your SEO while we’re at it. We'll make you sound smart.
Let's work together:
With Nifty, you won’t just get a template that looks like every other website out there. You’ll get a website that reflects your company. Your new site will set you apart, because it’s as unique as you are.
We work with big brands and small brands. Sellers and creators.We work local and international. We want to give you the edge to stand out from the crowd.

Disabled Sailing Association
With a growing base of clients and an aging website, the Disabled Sailing Association of Alberta approached us to develop a new, easy to use web design that took the needs of a diverse and differently abled user base into account. The new site had to be easy to navigate, easy to read, and needed to include a host of new features, all while keeping accessibility top of mind.
We developed a new site that makes it simple to become a new member, to book sailings online, and to become involved with the organization as a volunteer and a sponsor, and put all of the new features front and centre. We included new online payment options, advanced booking software, and even made it easy to donate to the cause directly through the site.

Focused Optometry
With a rapidly growing business and a dated website, Calgary Optometrist Dr. Lori Jaffray came to Nifty for help designing a new site. With the goal of incorporating the store’s fun and colourful collection of eyeglass frames, showcasing their lineup of lens options, and driving more customers and patients to the store, the Focused Optometry site was in for a massive growth spurt.
Together, we developed a site that captures Focused Optometry’s branding, makes navigating the site significantly easier, and showcases all of their services, products, and history. With room for expansion (and plans to add online sales for contact lenses), we an’t wait to keep working with Dr. Jaffray and the team at Focused Optometry!
