Pricing

Straightforward pricing, no surprises.

The build is $800 and the site is yours. A monthly plan keeps it hosted, backed up and up to date, with changes included, and you can cancel that by email at any time.

The plans

Pick the one that matches how you win work.

Billing starts when the site goes live, not when you sign the scope. Every plan carries the same foundation underneath: hosting, SSL, backups, on-page SEO, and a person you can text.

Rather host it yourself? Pay the $800, take the files, and put the site on any host you like. You give up the managed hosting, the backups, the daily monitoring and the content changes, and on the Lead Machine you also give up the estimator, the owner dashboard and the texts, because those run on our software rather than in the files. Most owners keep the monthly because they would rather not think about any of it.

What you are actually agreeing to

  • $800 to build, then $99 a month
  • Month-to-month, no lock-in
  • Cancel by email, anytime
  • You keep your website files

And a straight promise: if we don't think a site will pay for itself for your business, we'll tell you on the demo call, and not take your money.

Included, every plan

What the $99 a month is actually buying.

A lot of what owners end up paying three separate companies for is folded into one line here. This is that list.

No separate hosting bill
No per-change invoices
No renewal you forgot about

01 Managed hosting and backupsYour site lives on hosting we run and watch, with regular backups. There is no separate hosting bill to track down or renew.
02 SSL, issued and renewedCertificates handled for you, so browsers show your site as secure and customers never meet a warning screen.
03 Content changesNew hours, a fresh photo, a price change, a seasonal promotion. Text one person and most of it is done the same day.
04 On-page SEO at launchTitles, meta descriptions, heading structure and image alt text written properly, which is the part of search you can actually control.
05 Daily monitoringPerformance and search visibility tracked on a tool we read every day. When speed slips or a page stops responding, we usually see it before you do.
06 Google Business ProfileYour listing set up and matched to the site, so the map result and your pages agree on hours, services, and address.
07 One point of contactThe person who builds your site is the person who answers when you text. There is no account manager in between.
08 Your files, on the monthly or off itThe $800 buys the site, so the files are yours from launch and stay yours if you stop the monthly. The estimator and dashboard are our software, so those stay with us.
One-time work

Already have a site? Fix the one thing that's broken.

These are one-time jobs on a site we did not build. You keep your hosting and your existing setup, and we do the single piece you need. Each one starts with a free look and a fixed quote, so you approve the number before anything happens. These prices are separate from a website plan, and the malware figure has nothing to do with the $800 build fee above.

Add-ons are one-time and do not put you on a plan. If you would rather we took the whole thing over instead, that is a monthly plan and a fresh build.

One flat build fee, no contract, and the files are yours to keep.

Q.01

How much does a website cost in Atlantic Canada?

The Starter plan is $800 to design and build, then $99 a month for a custom site up to five pages. The Lead Machine is $800 to build and $399 a month for up to fifteen pages with the quote estimator and owner lead dashboard, built for trades. That puts the first twelve months at $1,988 on Starter and $5,588 on the Lead Machine. Larger portals or web apps are custom quoted.

Q.02

What does the $800 build fee cover?

The design and the build: pages written from scratch for your business, on-page SEO set properly, your Google Business Profile matched to the site, and launch. It is one payment, invoiced when the site goes live rather than when you sign the scope, and the files are yours from that day. An agency quote for the same five pages in Atlantic Canada usually runs five to ten thousand dollars.

Q.03

What happens if I cancel?

Cancel any time by email with no penalty, and it takes effect at the end of the billing month. You keep your website files, because the $800 build already paid for them. What stops is the hosting, the backups, the monitoring and the changes, so you will need somewhere to put the site. The lead dashboard and estimator are our own software, so those stay with us.

Q.04

Is there a setup fee, a contract, or a cancellation penalty?

The $800 build fee is the only one-time charge, and there is no separate setup fee on top of it. There is no minimum term and no penalty for leaving. The monthly starts once the site is live, not when you sign the scope, and it stops at the end of the month you tell us to stop it.

Q.05

Can I pay the $800 and host it myself?

Yes. Pay for the build, take the files, and put the site on any host you like. You give up the managed hosting, the backups, the daily monitoring and the content changes, and on the Lead Machine you also give up the estimator, the owner dashboard and the texts, because those run on our software rather than in the files. Most owners keep the monthly because they would rather not think about any of it.

Q.06

What counts as a page?

A page is a distinct URL with its own content: home, services, about, contact, and so on. Starter covers up to five, the Lead Machine up to fifteen. If you outgrow the count, we talk about it rather than billing you a surprise.

Q.07

Are content changes really included?

Yes. New hours, a fresh photo, a price change, a seasonal promotion: text one person and most of it is done the same day. What is not included is a second website, a redesign from scratch, or new custom features, which get quoted separately.

Q.08

What do the one-time add-ons cost?

Each one starts with a free look at your site, then a fixed quote before any work begins. Prices vary because a five-page brochure site and a sixty-page WordPress install are not the same job. You approve the number first, and you keep your own hosting. See the add-ons.
