Websites don't have to be expensive
Websites don't have to be do-it-yourself
We custom build websites and apps geared for the small business looking to grow.
I'm Interested!What are we about?
Blacktie Collaborative has built a system that allows business coaches, life coaches, trainers, teachers and e-commerce storefronts to have a fully custom system, built by developers to fit your exact editing needs, and maintained by our own team at an affordable price point.
By optimizing the process we've turned the price of hiring a custom development team and transformed them into the same prices as do-it-yourself style sites like Wix, Squarespace or New Kajabi.
No, we didn't do this by taking advantage of workers in another country like some other similar services.
We did this by simplifying processes. By shortening the path from start to finish. By focusing on what's important, clearing out what isn't, and focusing purely on results.
Attention spans are getting shorter. It takes less than 4 seconds to lose a customer (and only 5 years ago that stat was 7 seconds).
Most businesses don't need 50 pages. Most businesses need 5-10 pages, often less, a few core products, and an effective strategy to sell the heck out of them.
Most businesses need fast websites that can handle traffic.
Traffic you can afford, because you're not spending five grand on a website.
And the thing is, if you're starting a business, and you're looking to grow, the last thing you need to be spending your time on is updating your website.
What you need to be doing is spending your time marketing yourself. You need to be spending your time looking for leads, making face time with customers, following through on client calls, and converting everything in your path into a sale.
We take the heavy lifting out of your hands and we can do it at prices that you'd be paying to do it yourself anyway. Ask yourself - how much are YOU worth?
We get you your time back. We make it quick and simple, and we get things done fast.

Our prices start as low as $59 a month and scale with you. Every contract is negotiated to fit your needs and ours, and it won't cost you an arm and a leg.
It's time this stuff stopped being so difficult.

In my experience working with other developers, the one difference that stands out most about Blacktie is foresight. Other developers have always been quick to do exactly what i ask, without any thought into how it will effect my business in the future. Blacktie truly made every effort to understand not just my requests, but also my goals. I'd recommend them to anyone looking to build a business who truly cares about expansion and scalability.
Our Portfolio
Elevate the Globe joined us nearly five years ago, starting with a user base of just over 200 users.
We've been proud to be a part of Elevate the Globe's growth. Nearing almost 25000 users, their growth has been incredible. We've been in charge of all web development, creating fully customized solutions, payment processors and more to ensure their customers get the best user experience in their industry.
Sports Camps Canada came to us 4 years ago with an impossible task - complete a full, 12 page design and development in less than one week.
We were able to deliver on that, and four years later the design stands, proving that even under the crunch, our eye for detail simply never lacks.
Amy uses her platform to advertise her life coaching and yoga businesses and we've been proud to be her developer for 3 years.
Amy's website required a custom membership platform, with auth for her member base, with access on both desktop and mobile, and we delivered just that.
Our new sister company, Assistant Connect, obviously needed the Blacktie touch.
We were super excited of what we produced. With strong references of design to Blacktie, we ensured there was enough variation to differential the two.
The Create Series has been with Blacktie for four years and needed a custom membership platform for their 40+ courses, lessons and video content.
Each part of the backend is designed specifically to our clients needs.
Slo-Pitch Price Compare's app and website are both designed by us. SPPC scrapes popular Canadian softball web stores for their prices, organizing everything in an easy-to-comprehend way.
