What a website actually costs.
Every price we charge is on this page. Nothing is “contact us for a quote”, because in nine cases out of ten we already know the number — and hiding it only wastes your afternoon and ours.
Prices are in Canadian dollars for Canada. Portuguese clients are quoted in euros on the Portuguese pricing guide.

What moves a quote up or down
Number of real pages
Not template pages — pages with their own purpose and copy. A five-page site with a booking flow is more work than a twenty-page site of near-identical service pages.
What the site has to do
A brochure is one price. Taking bookings, quoting from a product catalogue, or feeding a CRM is another, because each one is a system that has to keep working.
Content and photography
If you have copy and real photos, we move fast. If you do not, structuring them is part of the job — and it is the single biggest difference between a site that converts and one that does not.
Integrations
POS, booking engines, accounting, CRM. Each connection is real engineering and gets priced as such, not hidden in a line item.
Languages
A properly bilingual site is not a translation pass. Second-language copy is written, not run through a translator, and Google has to be told which version to serve to whom.
How fast you need it
Two to four weeks is normal. Compressing that means rearranging other work, and we would rather tell you the honest date than miss a rushed one.
Six questions to ask any web designer
Including us. If a quote cannot survive these, the price is not the problem.
- Is the domain registered in my name, and do I keep it if we part ways?
- Do I own the code and the content when the work is done?
- Is there a written scope with a fixed price and a launch date?
- Does the price include Google Business Profile setup and local SEO basics, or are those extra?
- Can I see live sites you built, and open them on my phone right now?
- Who answers when something breaks — the person who built it, or a ticket form?

Questions about cost.
How much does a website cost for a small business in the GTA?
A one-page site with Google Business Profile setup runs $799–1,200. A multi-page custom site with booking or quoting runs $2,500–4,500. Larger builds with integrations are $6,000–12,000. For context, Toronto agencies commonly quote $3,000–7,000 for a professional business site and $6,000–18,000 for a boutique build — our prices sit deliberately at the lower end of that range for the same custom work.
Why do website prices vary so much?
Because it is not the same product. Under about $1,000 you are almost always buying a template with your logo in it, which is fine as a business card but will not out-rank a competitor. Above that, you are paying for structure built around how your business actually sells, copy written for you, real photography direction, speed, local SEO setup, and someone accountable when something breaks in six months.
What is not included in the price?
Your domain (roughly $20 a year, registered in your name) and, after the first year, hosting. Everything else in the package — design, build, content structure, Google Business Profile setup, local schema, launch — is in the fixed price. If something is outside scope we say so before starting, not in an invoice afterwards.
Do I have to take a monthly plan?
No. The site is yours and stays online without one. Managed Care ($250–400/month) exists because most owners would rather not handle updates, security and content changes themselves, and Local SEO ($600–900/month) exists because Google Business Profile and reviews need ongoing attention to keep working. Both are optional and cancellable.
How do payments work?
A deposit to start and the balance at launch, on a written scope with a fixed number. You see and approve the design direction before any payment, because the free audit and mockup come first. No retainers required, no lock-in, no licence that has to keep being paid for the site to stay up.
Can I see the price before talking to someone?
You just did — that is the point of this page. Most agencies hide pricing because the answer is "it depends". It depends less than they say: the packages below cover the vast majority of small-business work, and anything genuinely custom gets a fixed quote before it starts.
