What Does a Website Cost in Canada?
One-page websites from $499 CAD, typical five-page sites $1,499–$2,500 CAD. Learn what changes the quote and which ongoing costs to ask about.
A focused one-page SiteGuys website starts at $499 CAD. A typical five-page business website is approximately $1,499–$2,500 CAD, plus applicable taxes. More content, custom design, online sales, bookings or a complex move from an old site can change the work. Your written quote confirms the final price before work begins.
Start with the job the website must do
A one-page site can be a focused professional starting point for a simple offer. A five-page site gives a business more room to explain services, show proof and answer common questions. An online store or portal needs additional design, development and testing. Page count matters, but two sites with the same number of pages can still require different work.
Name the work behind the price
Ask who writes the copy, sources images, prepares product information and reviews the design. Confirm the number of custom layouts, revision rounds, forms and connections to other tools. If an existing site has valuable content or search traffic, preserving URLs and moving material is part of the project. These details explain why one quote can be higher than another.
Separate project cost from ongoing cost
Hosting, domain renewal, paid plugins, software subscriptions, payment processing and optional maintenance may continue after launch. Ask which services are required, which are optional, who owns each account and whether the quoted amount includes tax. A low setup price is less useful if recurring costs or access are unclear.
Compare the written scope
Compare the pages, responsibilities, revision rounds, launch checks, handover and exclusions in each proposal. A higher quote may include work that another omits. A lower quote may suit a genuinely simpler project. SiteGuys confirms the agreed work and final amount in writing before the project starts.
