Pricing

What this actually costs

Nobody likes 'contact us for pricing'. Here is how web design, marketing and AI automation are priced in Canada, what moves the number up or down, and how we scope a project so you know the figure before work starts.

What drives the price of a website

Two sites with the same page count can differ several times over in cost. Almost all of the difference comes from these factors:

  • Custom design vs template — bespoke art direction and motion take design time a theme doesn't
  • Page count and content depth, including whether copy is written for you
  • Integrations: booking, payments, CRM, inventory, member areas
  • Whether tracking and conversion measurement are built in from day one
  • Content readiness — waiting on photography and copy is the most common cost of delay

How marketing is priced

Marketing is a monthly retainer plus your ad spend, which goes directly to the platforms and never through us with a markup.

The retainer covers strategy, creative, campaign management and reporting. It scales with the number of channels running, not with how much you spend.

How AI automation is priced

Automation is quoted per workflow to build, then a smaller monthly amount to run and improve it. A single high-value workflow — instant lead response, for example — is usually the cheapest thing on this page and the fastest to pay for itself.

How we scope your number

One call to diagnose where demand comes from and where it leaks. A written scope with a fixed price and milestone schedule. No number changes mid-project unless you change the scope.

If the honest answer is that you do not need us yet, we will tell you on that first call.

Cheaper options, honestly assessed

A template builder is the right call when you need a presence this week and the site is not where your revenue comes from. A freelancer is right when the scope is narrow and you can manage the project yourself. We are the right call when the site, the traffic and the follow-up need to work as one system and you want one team accountable for the outcome.

Frequently asked questions

Why isn't there a price list?
Because a five-page brochure site and a conversion-tracked site with automated lead follow-up are different products. We scope from what the work has to earn, then quote a fixed number before anything starts.
Do you charge a monthly fee?
Builds are quoted as a project. Marketing and automation run as a monthly retainer, because campaigns and workflows need ongoing management to keep improving.
What's the cheapest way to work with you?
Start with the highest-leverage piece rather than everything at once. For most businesses that is the website plus one automated follow-up flow — the two things that stop demand leaking.
Do you offer payment in stages?
Yes. Projects are split across milestones so payment tracks delivery rather than landing as one bill at handover.
