How much does a website cost in Canada?

There is no single price, and anyone who gives you one without seeing your business is guessing. What matters is what drives the cost, and whether the site will earn its keep.

What drives the price

  • Size. A five-page service site and an online store with hundreds of products are very different projects.
  • Custom or template. Custom builds cost more up front. You get speed and control.
  • Content. Writing, photos, and copy take real time.
  • Connections. Booking, email, CRM, and payments all add work.
  • Search and speed. Doing these right at launch saves you from paying to fix them later.

The cost most people forget

A cheap site that does not bring in customers is expensive. If you already pay for ads, social media, or networking, a site that loses visitors wastes that money every month.

How to get a real number

  • Start with an audit of your current site. You may only need fixes, not a rebuild.
  • Ask for a quote based on your goal, not a menu of packages.
  • Ask what happens if you are not happy. At Boxx, websites have a 30-day money-back guarantee.
