You can easily do this, but we guarantee that they will not have 25 years of experience building strategic websites. With us, you get to work with Matt to ensure, firstly, your site content will resonate with your audience and then, secondly, look good. Most people ‘bashing out’ cheap sites will just create something that may (if you are lucky) look half decent but will not act as a decent sales tool; it will just be a pretty face, so to speak.

For sure, you can use WIX or one of the many other free website builders out there. But consider these three questions, 1) Do you have the time? 2) Are you confident enough that your design skills will make it look amazing? 3) Do you know how to carve messaging so your audience will want to engage with your company? If you answered yes to all three, then honestly, you don’t need our services. If you said no to any of them, hire us.

Every website, no matter its size or cost, needs to pay for hosting. Web hosting is an online service that enables you to publish your website on the Internet. When you sign up for a web hosting service, you basically rent some space on a physical server where you can store all the files and data that are necessary for your website to work correctly.

You will pay the hosting company directly (we will set it up for you). The functionality of your website determines the hosting package you need.

• For most websites, hosting will cost $ 14- $ 23 (USD) per month (when billed annually).

• If you need your customers to upload files to your website, it is $39 (USD) per month (when billed annually)

• For a website that includes an online shop, it will cost $29 (USD) per month (when billed annually) for 500 e-commerce items + 2% Transaction fee (on top of Stripe or Paypal fee)

• If you want your online shop to have 0% transaction fees and 5,000 e-commerce items, it is $74 USD per month. Please note Stripe or Paypal will still charge you their fee.

You can pay monthly for hosting, but it’s 22% more expensive.

Yes, we can easily connect your new site to your current website address. This is included in the $3,000.

If this is for a new service or company, you will need a website address.

Different domain endings, .com, .ca, etc., cost slightly different amounts. It will cost about CA$40 per year.

This is a great question. We have activated the following strategies
a) Streamlined our procedures to make things as efficient as possible
b) Used AI to speed up specific processes
c) Reduced our profit margins and now sell on volume
d) Made some services ‘add-ons’ so that only those who want them pay for them

If you rely on customers finding you via search engines like Google, then we highly recommend it. Blogs are amazing for search engine optimization. Your ranking on search engines will be determined by the number of other companies competing for the same business and how, say, Google deems you as a thought leader and expert in your field. They want to make sure that those they are recommending as experts (by ranking them higher) are actually experts. One way a business can prove this is by creating excellent blog content that people want to read, and that adds value. Either you can create this content, or we can.

Your monthly blog content written
Blogs are a great way to rank higher when people Google your services. They show search engines that you are an expert in your field and, therefore, that you are ‘worthy’ of being shown before your competition. That said, blogs take a lot of time to create and, if you are busy, do you have time to add one more thing to your to-do list? This is why we offer to manage this content for you.

This includes research, writing, your review and approval, finding imagery to accompany the post, and posting it live to the website. It is a lot of work to create this content and this reflected in the costs.

1 x 400-600-word blog post a month: $500 per month.

2 x 400–600-word blog post a month $1,000 per month.

Need some extra functionality or peace of mind? See what you need below. If you need something unique that is not listed below, please contact us.

Additional website pages 

10 pages are included in the $3,000. Most companies will need the following pages
1) Home
2) About
3) Services or Products
4) Contact
5) Privacy Policy/Terms of Service
6) Sitemap (great for Google to find your site)
7) 404 page (if people type in the wrong website address or there is a broken page, they are directed to this page, which helps them get to where they want to go)

Pages 8-10 are for any unique content that pertains to your business, industry, or audience (could be a blog, a career page, about your audience, community giving back, etc.).

$250 per additional page.

Monthly maintenance and revision time
We want you to have peace of mind that your site will always be there when your potential clients and employees go to it. Like a car, a website needs servicing to ensure that it works well. We check the site on a monthly basis. This includes all the links, the content, and the page speed, ensuring the site is in optimal health and nothing has ‘gone wrong’ with it.

We also offer revision time for clients who need it. Every month, you’ll get one hour of revisions to your site, which is great for those clients who are too busy or worried that if they make the changes themselves, they will mess things up. Think of this as similar to insurance; it is there when you need it the most. (Note: usable for anything and is bankable for up to three months).

We group these services as they go hand in hand.

$250 per month.

E-commerce
Got things to sell? Either products or digital files? We can add a shop to your site, connect it with your payment processing company, set up taxes and shipping and populate it with the first 10 products. After that, you can either populate the rest of the products onto the site (we will send you a video tutorial on how to do this) or we can manage that for you for an additional fee,

Setting up the e-commerce shop: $500.
Adding more products (beyond the initial 10): $25 per product.

Monthly social media creation and posting
Need someone to take care of creating social media for you? This includes research, creating the writing and images, and posting it to your various social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, etc.). It is a lot of work to create this content and this is reflected in the costs.

1 post per week: $500 per month.

2 posts per week: $1,000 per month.

If you want to Boost one of these posts or turn one into a paid ad, there will be additional ad spend fees that are paid directly to, for example, Facebook.

Marketing landing pages
Need a specific landing page for your marketing campaign?

Landing pages achieve higher conversion rates because they concentrate on a single objective or call to action, offering detailed information about a particular product or promotion. With restricted navigation options, their straightforward design helps keep visitors zeroed in on the target, minimizing distractions from extraneous links that could lead them off the page.

$300 per landing page.

Additional languages

Need your site in a different language? We can add Google Translate to your site.

$350 per website.

Yes, it is. We build your site and include site maps, local business schema, meta titles, and keywords and descriptions. We also register your site with Bing and Google.

Will your site be number one on SEO result pages?
Your ranking will be determined by the number of other companies competing for the same business, and how, say, Google deems you as a thought leader and expert in your field. For example, if you sell, say, shoes for kids in a city where you have 20 other shops selling the same or similar thing, then you will need to compete vigorously for a high ranking. If you only sold shoes for people over 7ft tall, starting at size 15, then you would have less competition, and you would naturally/organically rank higher.
