This is the most popular question we receive!
There is no definitive cost or a one size fits all cost for a business website. Each website project has different needs and each project tends to have a different scope. The size of your business plays a role in our quoting process as well. We quote on each project individually based on the customized needs specific to the business and the value the new website brings.
When initially discussing website design and development projects, we base our scope outline on the following averages:
- Tier 1 / smaller sized website design and development (with a few pages and limited SEO strategy) may range from ~$3,750 to $5,000
- Tier 2 / medium sized website design and development (with 10 to 20 pages + SEO strategies) may range from ~$5,000 to $10,000
- Tier 3 / larger website design and development (dozens of pages + advanced SEO strategies) may range from ~$10,000 to $20,000+
All quotes we provide are customized based on the client and their needs. We can work with most budgets and expand the website as your business grows!

We take pride in moving at a steady pace and not letting projects sit idle. We are very communicative and always striving towards being as efficient as possible throughout all phases of your project. We strive for anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks for a medium sized website from a turnaround standpoint. However, the pace of the project can vary depending on how communicative both us and the client are.
Yes! Website maintenance is a necessary part of owning and operating a website. We love working with all clients on a long-term basis and will always be readily available to assist with new website updates, new strategy, and ensure that we hit your goals.
We like to check-in frequently with our clients and provide prompt turnaround times on all website updates. Our rate is $100 / hour for website updates as a basic starting point or we can work with you on a monthly maintenance retainer based on your specific needs.
Yes, we do primarily work with small to medium sized businesses who provide services – rather than businesses that sell products.
Some of our most commonly served industries are businesses in the construction, architectural, landscape, electrical, hvac, paving, landscaping, and similar service based industries. We also work closely with healthcare professionals in the physiotherapy, chiropractic, psychotherapy, dentistry, wellness, naturopathic, and similar industries.
We do not build websites for businesses who primarily sell products online as e-commerce or product based marketing is not our forte.
We generally manage the website hosting for all clients as this ensures that your website is optimized as best as possible within the WordPress framework. We partner with a premium WordPress hosting provider – Flywheel Managed Hosting – ensuring that your website is hosted on their state-of-the-art hosting platform. Each website is managed individually to avoid any security issues or vulnerability risks. All clients have access to their hosting account as needed, as well.
Yes – depending on the services that the client provides (and expectations). We have over 15 years experience in working within the Google Ads platform and it’s a speciality that we take pride in. We build Google Ads campaigns and manage them for clients on a consistent basis in addition to providing customized reports and continued strategy.
No, we do not specialize in social media advertising or social media management.
Not often – we tend to stick with informative websites for businesses and less-so e-commerce. As noted, our core client provides services rather than sells products therefor we tend to only take on a few select e-commerce projects if necessary.
