How Much Does a Website Really Cost in Quebec?

Short answer: it depends on what you're buying. Here's an honest breakdown of what actually moves the price.

What actually moves the price

Page count & contentA 3-page site and a 15-page catalogue are different projects.
Custom design vs. a templateTemplates are faster and cheaper; custom fits your brand exactly, and costs more.
FeaturesBooking calendars, online stores, and lead-tracking forms all add build time.
What happens after launchHosting, backups, security updates, and small content changes are usually a separate ongoing cost, no matter who builds your site.

Why I don't put a number on this page

A single number on a pricing page is either a lowball that grows once you ask for what you actually need, or a range padded to cover every possible project. Neither tells you what your site will cost.

So instead of a number, here's the process: every project starts with a free 60-minute audit of your current website (lead capture, speed, mobile-friendliness, and SEO), and you get a report ranking what will make you the most money first. If you want to move forward from there, we set up a follow-up conversation to go over what you actually need, and you leave that with a fixed price, clear specifications, and a guaranteed delivery date, in writing, before you commit to anything. No lock-in contracts, ever.

Recommended

Project Rebuild

A business-oriented, mobile-first rebuild with automatic lead tracking, launched in a few weeks, plus 60 days of free support after launch.

Peace of mind

Stewardship Retainer

Monthly updates, automated backups, security, and a 5-minute video report every month.

The free audit analyzes your current site; exact pricing is set in the follow-up conversation.

Questions people actually ask

Why don't you publish exact prices?

Because a real price depends on your project, and a range wide enough to cover every project isn't actually useful to you. You'll have an exact, fixed number within a day of the follow-up call.

Is the audit really free, and what happens after?

Yes, 60 minutes, no cost, no obligation. It's purely an analysis of how your current site is performing; you'll get a report on where it stands. If you decide to move forward from there, we set up a separate follow-up call to go over your project. No pressure, no lock-in contract.

What if I only need a couple of fixes, not a full rebuild?

That's exactly what Rapid Fixes is for: a few urgent bugs or updates, delivered in under 5 business days, with zero commitment beyond that fix.

What does "no lock-in" actually mean?

You're never signed into a long-term contract to keep working with me. The Stewardship Retainer is month-to-month, and you can stop anytime.
