How much does a business website cost in Canada?
Website costs depend on the number of pages, design requirements, functionality, content needs, integrations, e-commerce features, and the level of customization involved.
A straightforward business website has a different scope from a complex online store or membership platform. Contact us to discuss your requirements and obtain a project-specific quote.
How long does it take to build a website?
The timeline depends on the project’s complexity, the availability of content and images, feedback and approval stages, integrations, and other requirements. A timeline can be established once the scope is understood.
Can you redesign my existing website?
Yes, we can discuss redesigning an existing website. The appropriate approach depends on the current platform, technical condition, design, content, and functionality. Some websites benefit from targeted improvements; others require a more comprehensive rebuild.
Will my website work on mobile devices?
Responsive design can be included in the project requirements so the website adapts to different screen sizes. The specific functionality should be reviewed and tested before launch.
Can you help with website content?
Content planning and development can be discussed as part of your project. Useful content should explain your services, address customer questions, communicate your expertise, and support the goals of each page.
Will my website appear on Google?
A website can be developed with SEO best practices in mind, but appearing in search results and achieving particular rankings are not guaranteed. Search visibility depends on many factors, including content, competition, technical implementation, and search engine decisions.
How Long Will It Take For Me to Be Number One on Google?
We are not sure and nobody can answer that question with any level of honesty or accuracy. Why? We don’t own Google!

We have seen a wide variety of different results over the years with a phenomenal number of those on the first page of google in the top 4 of the organic search results. We provide your website with all the ammunition it needs to be successful.

Platforms Like Shopify, Square, Wix, Website Tonight by Go Daddy
One of the common misconceptions for folks is that they think they can take a website design they built on one of these platforms and move it to a new hosting company if they don’t like the service they are getting. Well, unfortunately you can’t. If you have an e-commerce store, all you can do is download the data files for products into a CSV file and when this was written, that option was only available on Shopify.
The actual website you built is on their platform using their technology so it is NOT an INDEPENDENT asset for your business. They have complete control over it and it is really just a mirage that it is an asset for your business; technically you don’t own it, but you pay for it.
Your business or organization website should be built by a professional web developer who can provide you insight and strategies you may not know about. They can also make sure it is backed up, provide you a copy if so desired and it becomes an actual asset of your business, under YOUR CONTROL.

Why Is There "No Pricing" or "Vague Pricing" On Your Website?
We love this question. The answer is simple. EVERY web project we have ever done is different. So it would not be a fair playing field if someone who needed something very simple paid a high price and it would not be fair to us if we were just giving our talents away for lower fees.
We base our costing on what you need and to accomplish your goals online. We don’t charge you for what you don’t need or would ever use. Every project is different so we approach every project differently.
