We build websites in four packages. The smallest gets the same CMS and the same on-page SEO as the largest. They differ in size and in how much of the design is drawn to your brief. Prices are one-time, in Canadian dollars, before tax.

If you are not sure which one fits, ask for a free estimate. We suggest what makes sense for your kind of business, and if a smaller package does the job, we say so.

Who each package is for

  • Lite: up to 5 pages. Who you are, what you do and how to reach you. For trades, home services, salons, studios and small associations.
  • Standard: up to 20 pages. Every service you offer on a page of its own. For clinics, contractors, agencies and shops with a wider offer.
  • Business: as many pages as you need, an online store, domain and hosting for the first year. For a business that sells through the site or wants the design to its own brief.
  • Pro: structure, design and functions to your specification, logo included. For larger organizations, portals and bigger stores.

What decides the price of a website, and what it costs to run one after launch, we explain in How much does a website cost?

Other services

  • SEO, through monthly packages, when you want the site found for what you do and not only for your name.
  • Website maintenance, from $79 a month with hosting included, when you would rather we kept the site updated, backed up and monitored.

What every package includes

Whichever package you choose, the price includes:

  • a mobile-first build
  • on-page SEO and visitor analytics
  • a contact form
  • the CMS, with a guide written for your site
  • full admin access and the source files, handed over at the end

Add-ons and surcharges

If you want the site in more than one language, entering the content for each additional language is charged per package: $390 on Lite, $590 on Standard, $990 on Business, and quoted in the specification on Pro.

If you have no text for the site, we write it: $590 on Lite, $990 on Standard, from $1,490 on Business, and quoted on Pro.

A logo designed with the site is $390 on Lite, Standard and Business, and included with Pro.

Domain and hosting are included for the first year on Business and Pro. On Lite and Standard, and on every package from the second year, hosting on our Canadian server is $290 a year, with SSL, daily backups and business email at your domain. The domain itself renews at cost.

Your ideas

If none of the packages fits, tell us your budget and we make a proposal. Or describe the site you want and we put a price on it.

The package descriptions are not locked. You can ask for something that is not listed or leave out something that is. Small changes cost nothing.

Fill in the free estimate form and we reply within one business day.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to build the site?

It depends on the package. Lite takes two weeks, Standard three, Business five, and Pro starts at eight weeks once the specification is agreed. The clock starts the day we have everything: your text, photos and logo. As soon as the site is up at a preview address you can look through it and send your notes, and it goes live when you have signed off on it.

What do I need to prepare?

Text, photos, your logo if you have one, and the login for your domain if it is already registered. If you have no text, we write it for the surcharge stated on each package page. If you have no logo, we design one, $390, or included with Pro. If you have neither domain nor hosting, we set both up, and on Business and Pro the first year is included.

Can I change the content myself later?

Yes. Every site is built in a CMS, and every package comes with a guide written for your site. With it you change text, photos, galleries, menu items, contact details and the products in your store. The design, the code and the technical upkeep stay with us for as long as you want them to; you hold full admin access and the source files, so nothing ties you here. If you have no time for updates, our maintenance plans cover them.

Is the price one-time?

The price of the build is one-time. After that, the only running costs are the domain and the hosting, which you pay for as long as the site exists: hosting on our server is $290 a year and the domain renews at cost. Business and Pro include the first year of both. Maintenance and content updates are separate, optional services.
