Canadian small-business website guide

Small-business website cost in Canada (2026)

The useful question is what your business needs the website to do. Our one-page starter site is $499 CAD, taxes included, using supplied information and images. Additional pages, custom writing and business tools change the price. Here is how to compare the project and its ongoing costs.

Sudbury Pets began as a focused one-page project. The current website shown here has expanded to include custom visuals, dedicated service pages and a request form, beyond the original starter scope. Read the case study.

A focused professional starting point

A one-page business website can start at $499 when the business supplies approved information, a logo and photos, and the project uses a defined scrolling-page scope.

What increases the scope

Additional pages, extensive writing, custom forms, booking systems, online stores, member areas, databases and software integrations require separate planning and pricing.

Compare complete ownership costs

Ask who owns the domain, whether hosting or updates are mandatory, which third-party subscriptions renew, and what happens if the supplier relationship ends.

Hosting and email

No Website Upgrade Canada hosting subscription is required. The recommended hosting arrangement and any future third-party cost will be disclosed in writing before launch. No paid hosting service will be added without approval.

One address such as [email protected] can forward incoming messages to the client’s existing inbox. A full hosted mailbox or sending directly from that address may require a separate email service.
