Ask three studios for a quote and you will get $900, $4,500 and "it depends". All three can be honest. The price of a small business site in Saskatchewan is driven by a few things that are rarely explained up front, so here they are.
The real ranges
A template site with your logo dropped in runs $800–1,500. A custom-designed five-to-eight page site with the copy written for you sits between $2,500 and $6,000. Online stores and booking-heavy sites start around $5,000 and climb with the number of products and integrations. Our own pricing lists every package with the number attached.
What drives the price up
- Writing. If nobody has written the site yet, someone has to - and it takes longer than the design.
- Photography. Stock photos are free; a site that looks like your business needs a half-day shoot.
- Integrations. Booking, payments, CRMs and quote calculators each add real hours.
Where revision billing hides
The quiet cost is the hourly "changes" line that appears after the second round of feedback. Ask for the number of review rounds in writing before you sign. We include defined rounds in every fixed quote, and anything out of scope gets quoted before it is done - never after.
