Agency in Edmonton.
SaaS marketing site, web platform, brand identity, and dashboard UI for Edmonton, the ICE District, and the UAlberta corridor AI-research, gov-tech, and indigenous-led DTC operators. Mountain Time, seven-hour overlap.
AI research origin. Capital city brands.
Looking for a SaaS web agency or AI-tooling web developer near you in Edmonton, the ICE District, or the UAlberta South Campus corridor? Digital Heroes works with Edmonton brands across the AI-research, gov-tech, and heritage-DTC spectrum. Mountain Time coverage Monday through Friday 9 to 6 MT, with a seven-hour overlap to our New York HQ and 24/7 emergency support across our Delhi and Sydney offices. Edmonton holds a unique commerce gravity for a city its size: Amii (the Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute) and Richard Sutton's reinforcement-learning lineage at UAlberta produce one of the densest applied-AI research pipelines in the world; the provincial-capital gov-tech buyer base creates a steady RFP-shaped sales pipeline; and the indigenous-led heritage DTC scene produces operator-led brands worth shipping for. Our reference points include operator-led teams adjacent to the Amii AI institute, Jobber's scaleup pipeline, or indigenous-led prairie brands.
Three Edmonton archetypes we ship.
The Edmonton mix concentrates around three repeatable patterns. AI-research SaaS shape, gov-tech shape, heritage-DTC shape; each carries a distinct content gravity and a distinct integration topology.
02
Gov-tech + civic SaaS
Provincial-government adjacent SaaS operators with RFP-shaped sales cycles. Compliance-aware content surfaces, accessibility-baked design (WCAG 2.1 AA), audit-trail dashboards.
03
Indigenous-led DTC + agri-tech
Heritage-focused DTC brands led by indigenous founders. Ranch and crop operations software. Storytelling-led commerce on Shopify, mobile-first dashboard UI.
Mountain Time. Seven-hour overlap.
Edmonton runs on Mountain Time, two hours behind our New York HQ. The clean overlap window runs 11 MT to 4 MT, when our New York mornings sync with Edmonton mid-day. Slack stays asynchronous through the rest of the day.
Five services for Edmonton brands.

AI-SaaS marketing site + dashboard

Looking for a SaaS web agency or AI-tooling web developer near you in Edmonton?
We work across Edmonton: the ICE District, downtown Jasper Avenue, Whyte Avenue, the UAlberta South Campus corridor, plus St. Albert, Sherwood Park, and the broader capital region. Mountain Time coverage Monday through Friday 9 to 6 MT, weekly Friday demos on MT, seven-hour daily overlap to our New York HQ. Our reference points when shaping an Edmonton engagement include operator-led teams adjacent to the Amii AI institute, Jobber's scaleup pipeline, or indigenous-led prairie brands; the provincial-government RFP-shaped buyer base; and the prairie agri-tech operators serving ranch and crop operations.
For technical depth, we ship inside Next.js, Vercel, and the Stripe billing primitives the AI-SaaS operators rely on; we plan in Figma and ship through GitHub; reporting flows through Looker Studio; product analytics flows through PostHog; we hold marketing-site LCP under 2.5 seconds against the web.dev Core Web Vitals rubric; for gov-tech work we baseline WCAG 2.1 AA on every component.
Five questions Edmonton founders ask.
Do you have an office in Edmonton?
Digital Heroes is a remote-first agency with HQs in New York and Delhi plus offices in London, Sydney, and Lucknow. We work with Edmonton and Alberta brands on Mountain Time hours (9 to 6 MT, Monday through Friday) with a seven-hour overlap to our New York HQ. We do not maintain an Edmonton-local office and we will not invent one.
What kinds of Edmonton brands do you typically work with?
Our typical Edmonton fit is a $300K to $3M ARR AI/ML applied-SaaS operator founded out of the Amii institute or UAlberta research pipeline; a gov-tech or civic-SaaS operator with RFP-shaped sales cycles; or an indigenous-led DTC brand or agri-tech SaaS founder serving the prairie heritage and operations economy.
Do you build AI-SaaS or only ecommerce?
Both, but the Edmonton mix skews heavily SaaS. Roughly 70 percent of our Edmonton work is SaaS marketing-site rebuilds, dashboard UI, docs portals, and integration-heavy product surfaces for the AI-research, gov-tech, and agri-tech operators. The remaining 30 percent is heritage-led DTC and Shopify work for indigenous-founded consumer brands.
Will you fly to Edmonton for kickoff or quarterly reviews?
Yes. Edmonton is a 4 to 5 hour flight from our New York HQ (typically via Toronto or Calgary connection). For retainer engagements we include quarterly in-person sessions either at the client location across the ICE District, Whyte Avenue, or the UAlberta South Campus, or at an agreed neutral spot. For one-off platform builds we typically include a launch-week trip and a 60-day post-launch review trip in scope.
How quickly can you scope an Edmonton project?
30-minute discovery call gets booked typically within a week. Written scope plus fixed-price quote returns within 48 hours of that call. For SaaS marketing-site rebuilds we layer a 5 to 7 business day technical-discovery phase to map integrations and data sources before the quote becomes binding.

§ · Edmonton market
The kind of operator-led brands Edmonton runs on.
We build for the operator-led brands that define Edmonton's commerce — like Bernadette's, a founder-run business that outgrew its templates and needed real engineering.
