Pricing
One price. Written down before we start.
Everything below is in Canadian dollars. GST is added where it applies. Nothing on this page changes after you’ve said yes.
The standard build
A complete five-page website, from first call to live domain. This is the whole thing, not a starting point.
- Five pages, structured and written with you
- Tested at phone, tablet and desktop sizes
- Contact form wired up and tested end to end
- Cloudflare Pages hosting configured on your account
- Domain guidance, registration help, and DNS setup
- Search-engine basics: titles, descriptions, sitemap, local business markup
- Two rounds of revisions before launch
- Plain-English handoff document with every login
How you pay: $400 to book your build slot, $400 when the site goes live. E-transfer or cheque. An invoice either way.

Changed your hours, added a service, want new photos on the gallery? Email me, I’ll tell you roughly how long it’ll take before I start, and you approve it.
No monthly retainer. I don’t offer one, because most five-page sites need about an hour of attention a year and charging you $99 a month for that would be taking your money.
Small stuff — a typo, a phone number change — I generally just fix. I’m not going to invoice you for two minutes.

What it costs you every year afterwards
| What | Who bills you | Roughly |
|---|---|---|
| Hosting | Cloudflare | $0 |
| Domain name | Your registrar, in your name | $15–25 / year |
| Contact form service | Formspree or similar | $0 at typical volume |
| Business email | Google or Microsoft | ~$8 / month |
| SSL certificate (the padlock) | Cloudflare | $0, renews itself |
Realistically: about $20 a year to keep your website online, unless you want a branded email address. That is not a sales line — it’s just what static hosting costs in 2026.
In context
Where this sits against the alternatives.
I’ve tried to be fair to the other options here. Sometimes they genuinely are the better choice for you.
| Plain Page | A local agency | Wix / Squarespace | A $5 gig site | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Up-front cost | $800 flat | $3,000–8,000 | $0–300 | $100–500 |
| Cost per year after | ~$20 | $50–200/mo retainer | $200–500/yr, forever | Varies |
| Who owns it | You, outright | Usually you, check the contract | You rent it | Usually you |
| Who you speak to | The person building it | An account manager | A help centre article | A chat window, different timezone |
| Time to live | Two weeks | 6–12 weeks | However long you spend on it | Days to never |
| You build it yourself | No | No | Yes, all of it | No |
| Good for online stores | No — I don’t do this | Yes | Yes | Sometimes |
If you want to sell products online, go to Shopify. If you enjoy fiddling with your own site and have the evenings for it, Squarespace is genuinely decent. I’m the right call when you want it handled, done once, owned by you, and you don’t want to think about it again.
The obvious question
Why is it only $800?
Because the job is genuinely smaller than agencies price it as, and because my costs are low.
I don’t have an office, a sales team, project managers, or account managers. There’s no discovery workshop to bill for. The hosting I put you on is free. And I run this part-time alongside other work, so the $800 doesn’t have to cover a mortgage — which means I can price it at what the work is actually worth.
I also use AI tooling in the build, and I’m not going to pretend otherwise. It takes the slow, repetitive parts of writing a website and compresses them. What it doesn’t do is decide what your site should say, check that the form actually delivers to your inbox, or pick up the phone when you call. That’s me, and that’s the part you’re paying for.
The honest trade-off: I’m newer at this than an established agency, and I take one project at a time. If you need forty pages, a booking engine, and a team on retainer, I’m the wrong choice and I’ll say so on the first call.
