The Team at Alternative Edge

Learn more about Raynefyre and Noah – the co-founders of Alternative Edge Web Design. (PS – one day we’ll have fun ocean-themed headshots… or maybe not, since Noah is terrified of this happening.)

Raynefyre Grayce

Raynefyre Grayce

they/them

Over the years Raynefyre has evolved from humble beginnings as a stockboy and grease-covered bike mechanic at their dad’s sporting goods store to a nomadic artist and web designer with a passionate drive towards supporting the platforming and growth of thought leaders doing beautiful and progressive work.

For Raynefyre, if they can make digital life easier for folks writing new and powerful stories, they’re doing the work that they’re meant to do. As such, Raynefyre’s 12+ years in web design has not just been about creating beautiful websites. It’s about weaving together technology, authenticity, heart-fuelled spirituality, and embodied activism to bring visionary ideas to life.

When Raynefyre’s not busy coding, they also prioritize taking a break from screentime with their erotic embodiment facilitation work, organizing queer retreats, or by unplugging and getting into the woods.

Noah Klöze

he/they

Noah’s life has been a crash course in how to do things differently in business. As a kid he listened to shop talk and wrestled pigs on his family farm, and later worked in a variety of different alternative business structures including 10 years as a worker/owner at Canada’s co-op sex shop, as faculty at a collectively run school for sex educators, plus running his own private practice supporting folks recovering from sexual trauma.

Noah’s work in web development is about supporting the growth and vitality of businesses that are working for a brighter future. He’s seen many of the challenges and successes in alternative business and feels if there are ways he can bring his diverse skills to help therapists, retailers, educators, and other creative entrepreneurs create a streamlined and satisfying digital presence, he’s a happy guy.

Whether it’s crafting effective and eye-catching websites, writing great website copy, or collaborating with clients on do-able marketing systems and strategies, he’s all about helping his clients free up their time so they can do what they’re here to do and get to where they want to go.

When he’s not hustling for a brighter tomorrow, Noah’s probably busy in the garden, enjoying a good book by the ocean, or swinging some kettlebells.

Testimonials

Flip through what past clients have to say about our team and our work.

{Raynefyre made putting together my first website easy. From the first call to discuss my vision and feel through to the handover, they gave valuable direction and led to the process to launch the site. We launched within my desired timeline and they helped bring visibility to my newly formed business with the feel I was looking for. I'd work with Raynefyre again for similar needs.{

{Not only did Raynefyre offer a hands-on approach with full collaboration during the creating process for my website, they also offered comprehensive and thorough training to empower me to take over as editor for my site! They really captured and breathed life into the vision I had for my site. I could not be happier with the thoroughness, thoughtfulness, and creative brilliance that Raynefyre brings to their services. I feel totally prepared to make changes and edits to my site on my own, but also know that I can reach out to Raynefyre for support if I need to.{
Marnie Delanghe
Unearth Art Therapy
{Raynefyre Grayce is a masterful web developer and graphic designer. I've been working with Raynefyre for almost a decade and a half on various projects including promotional flyers, website and logo design, social media banners, and general tech support. I am always thrilled with Raynefyre's approach to client support and customer service: they are collaborative, creative, and communicative and when they don't have the answer to some tech issue, they find it! They have a keen eye and intuitive sense for design and possess a broad set of skills that enable them to develop online products and graphic design outputs that are fresh and innovative. They go above and beyond to ensure that I am happy with all products they create for me. I highly recommend Raynefyre Grayce to anyone who is looking for graphic and web design support.{
Kael Reid
{Raynefyre is a very creative human being whose nature is serene, joyful, considerate, and gentle. Raynefyre is a deep listener and truly has the innate ability to comprehend the vision within clients minds. I am deeply grateful for our 10 year working relationship.{

What ongoing costs can I expect after my site has been built?
Maintenance costs for a website can vary based on factors such as the complexity of the site, the platform it’s built on, the amount of content updates required, and the level of ongoing support needed. Here are some typical maintenance costs you might encounter:

Hosting Fees: This is the cost of keeping your website online. Depending on the hosting provider and the type of hosting plan you choose (shared hosting, VPS hosting, dedicated hosting, etc.), prices can range from a few dollars per month to hundreds of dollars per month.

Domain Renewal: You’ll need to renew your domain name registration annually, which typically costs around $20 per year.
Security Updates and Software Maintenance: Websites often require regular updates to their content management systems (CMS), plugins, themes, and other software components to patch security vulnerabilities and ensure optimal performance. Some maintenance plans include these updates as part of the package, while others may charge an hourly rate for this service.

Content Updates: If you frequently update your website with new content, products, or features, you may need to budget for ongoing content creation and management. This could include writing blog posts, updating product listings, or adding new pages to your site.

Technical Support: If you encounter technical issues or need help with website-related tasks, you may need to pay for technical support from your web development team or hosting provider. This could be billed on an hourly basis or included as part of a maintenance package.

Backup and Disaster Recovery: Regular backups of your website’s data are essential to protect against data loss due to hacking, server failures, or other unforeseen events. Some hosting providers offer automated backup solutions as part of their services, while others may charge extra for this feature.

SEO and Performance Optimization: To maintain your website’s visibility in search engine rankings and ensure fast page loading times, you may need to invest in ongoing search engine optimization (SEO) and performance optimization efforts. This could include tasks like keyword research, link building, and website speed optimization.

**Overall, maintenance costs can range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars per year, depending on the specific needs of your website. We will support you in factoring these costs into your budget. We want to ensure the ongoing success and security of your online presence.
