Cost guide
How much does a website cost in Canada?
Most small business websites in Canada cost between $500 and $5,000 with a freelancer or small studio, and $5,000 to $20,000 or more with a large agency. These are the factors that move the price.
Custom design
A design built for your brand costs more than a template, but converts better and looks unique.

Content writing
Professional copy that sells and ranks adds cost but is one of the biggest drivers of results.
Cost impact
E-commerce
Product catalogues, payments and shipping settings add significant build and testing time. See ecommerce SEO.

Timeline
What happens after you choose a package
A clear process with a fixed price, so you know what you are paying for and when your site will be live.
Discovery call
We talk through your business, your customers and your goals, then confirm the package, pages and price in writing.
Content and keywords
We plan each page around real search terms and gather your logo, photos and any content you already have.
Design and build
A custom, mobile-first design with on-page SEO built in. Starter and Business sites are usually live in 7 to 10 business days.
Launch and handover
We connect Search Console and Analytics, test everything on phones and desktops, and show you how to update your content.
Before you buy
Questions to ask any web designer before you pay
Whether you choose us or someone else, these questions help you compare website quotes fairly and avoid surprise costs later.
Who owns the website and domain?
You should own your domain, your content and your site files. With MarketingFlow, you do.
Is SEO actually included?
Ask exactly what that means. Every MarketingFlow package includes on-page SEO on every page, schema markup and Search Console setup.
What happens after year one?
Ask how much hosting costs after any free period. Our hosting renews at a clearly stated rate, with no surprises.
Can I update the site myself?
You should be able to change text and photos without paying a developer. We show you how at launch.
Will my existing rankings be protected?
If you are replacing a site, ask how old URLs will be redirected. We keep URLs or set up 301 redirects.
How fast will it be on a phone?
Ask for a speed test on mobile. Slow sites lose visitors and rankings.
Website plus SEO
When to add monthly SEO
A new website gives Google a strong foundation, but it does not build authority on its own. Most businesses that want steady calls from Google add a monthly SEO plan once the site is live.
Our SEO plans start at $99 a month, month to month, with no setup fee. They include outreach backlinks every month and, on the Growth and Authority plans, blog posts published to your new site. With 9 years and more than 1,500 campaigns behind us, this website plus SEO combination is the one we see work most often.
- Starter SEO: $99/month, 2 to 5 outreach backlinks
- Growth SEO: $290/month, 8 to 10 backlinks and 5 blog posts
- Authority SEO: $499/month, 20 to 25 backlinks, 15 blog posts and a simple 3-page SEO website
What to avoid
Website pricing traps to watch for
Very cheap builds with high monthly fees
A low upfront price can hide expensive monthly charges that add up quickly.
Templates sold as custom design
Ask to see the design process. A template with your logo is not a custom website.
No SEO basics
Missing titles, headings and schema mean you pay again later to fix them.
Locked-in hosting
If you cannot move your site, you cannot shop around. Make sure you can.
Client portal
Add SEO and see every result
When you add a monthly SEO plan to your new website, you get a login to our client portal with clear, regularly updated data on the work and the results.
Outreach backlink analytics
Every outreach backlink we build for you each month is listed with clear analytics, and the backlink data is updated every week.
Keyword and page rankings
Your keyword rankings and page rankings come straight from Google. We are approved for Google API data, so the numbers are Google's own.
Indexed pages
See which of your pages Google has indexed, pulled directly from Google, so you know your important pages can actually be found.
Clicks and impressions
Track how many times your site appears in Google search and how many people click through, month by month.
Domain Rating from Ahrefs
Watch your website's Domain Rating (DR), provided by Ahrefs, grow as your backlink profile gets stronger.
Blog content calendar
On the Growth ($290) and Authority ($499) plans, a calendar shows every upcoming article and the exact date it will be posted.
Clear data for every customer, so you can always see what is being done and what it is achieving.

MarketingFlow packages are $500 for up to 5 pages, $1,199 for up to 8 pages and $2,999 for 15 to 18 pages, all in CAD with free first-year hosting.
What is included in the free first-year hosting?
Fast Canadian hosting, an SSL certificate, daily backups and 99.9% uptime for the first year on every package. After year one, hosting renews at a clearly stated rate.
How long does it take to build a website?
Starter and Business websites are usually live in 7 to 10 business days once we have your content. Premium websites take about 3 weeks. You get a written timeline before work begins.
Is SEO included with every website?
Yes. Every package includes on-page SEO, titles and meta descriptions, heading structure, internal links and Google Search Console setup. Premium adds full keyword research, schema markup and 3 months of SEO monitoring.
What is the free SEO on the Premium package?
Premium includes your first month of our Growth SEO plan free, a $290 value with 8 to 10 outreach backlinks and 5 SEO blog posts published to your site. After that, monthly SEO is optional and starts at $99 per month with no contract.
Can I add more pages later?
Yes. Extra pages are quoted at custom rates before any work starts, so there are no surprise fees.
Do you build e-commerce websites?
Yes. We build WooCommerce and Shopify stores. Because product counts and features vary so much, online stores are quoted individually. Get a quote.
Do I own my website?
Yes. Your website is built on WordPress and belongs to you from day one, with full admin access. You can move it to any host at any time.
Do you work with businesses outside Ontario?
Yes. We build websites for businesses across Canada. Everything runs smoothly by phone, video call and email.
