At Bizfront, website pricing starts at $2,500 CAD for the website foundation and homepage, with $500 for each service or landing page and $250 for shorter informational pages, such as About and Contact.
That puts a six-page website with three service pages, an About page and a Contact page at $4,500 CAD. Confirm applicable taxes and any additional features in your written quote.
That’s our pricing, rather than a Calgary market average. Different providers include different work, which makes comparing website quotes harder than it should be.
The useful question is what you’ll have at the end, what you’ll need to contribute, and what you’ll keep paying for after launch.
How does Bizfront’s website pricing work?
We start with the foundation, then add the pages your business needs.
| Website component | Cost in CAD |
|---|---|
| Website foundation, overall styling and complete homepage | $2,500 |
| Each service, product, market or landing page | $500 |
| Each shorter informational page, such as About or Contact | $250 |
The foundation establishes the website’s layout and styling using your brand colours and fonts. Your homepage introduces the business, explains what you do and gives customers a way to contact you.
For some businesses, that’s enough to begin with. Others need room to explain several services or speak to different types of customers.
Here’s how the six-page example adds up:
| Page | Cost in CAD |
|---|---|
| Homepage and website foundation | $2,500 |
| Service page one | $500 |
| Service page two | $500 |
| Service page three | $500 |
| About | $250 |
| Contact | $250 |
| Total | $4,500 |
You don’t need six pages because another company has six pages. You need enough information to help the right customer understand your business and decide whether to contact you.
What is included in a Bizfront website?
The writing, planning and design all affect how useful the finished website will be. Here’s what our website work includes.
Planning around your business and customers
Before we start building, we learn about your business, who you want to reach and what those people need to know.
A commercial buyer might need to understand your capabilities, project experience and service area. A homeowner might want help choosing a service and knowing what happens after requesting a quote.
Those differences should influence the pages, writing and next steps.
Design tailored to your business
We tailor the colours, fonts, imagery and layouts to your business.
That can involve adapting an established theme or template. In a client planning conversation, I explained how a template could provide the starting structure while we changed the styling and page flow to suit the business.
Ask a provider what “custom” means in their quote. There’s a meaningful difference between changing a logo and planning the content, layout and customer journey around your company.
Website copywriting and editing
The writing is included.
We use what we learn about your business to explain your services, strengths and customer benefits. You review it and help us check the details.
You’ll still need to contribute your knowledge and feedback. But you won’t be left trying to write an entire website before we can make progress.
On-site SEO
On-site SEO includes page headings, descriptions and proper URLs, with the content organized around what each page covers.
Ask what “SEO included” actually covers in any proposal. Setting up the website’s on-site elements is a defined piece of work. Ongoing content creation and search marketing need their own scope.
An SEO inclusion is also no guarantee of a particular Google position or number of enquiries.
Clear navigation and ways to enquire
We plan the layout so visitors can find relevant information and understand what to do next.
That includes calls to action and contact forms. More involved functions, such as booking systems or software integrations, should be identified separately in the quote.
Mobile and tablet optimization
The website needs to work when someone visits from their phone or tablet. That means reviewing how the pages, navigation and forms behave across devices, as part of the build and testing process.
What can cost extra?
A page count is a useful starting point. Features and content requirements can change the scope.
In one conversation with a hospitality business, we worked through how visitors would view accommodation and move into its booking system. One option involved maintaining individual listings in two places. I suggested considering category pages that led into the existing booking platform, so the team could manage the detailed information there.
That decision affected both the build and the work required to keep it current.
Your website quote should address any requirements for:
- Online payments, ecommerce or booking systems.
- Connections to customer management or other business software.
- Large product catalogues, galleries or content migrations.
- New photography, video, logos or brand guidelines.
- Blog setup, email marketing connections or additional training.
These are things to clarify, rather than automatic extras on every project. Ask which are included, which are optional and which can wait.
What will you pay after the website launches?
Separate the initial website cost from the cost of keeping it online and looking after it.
Ask about domain renewal, hosting or platform subscriptions, paid software licences, maintenance and future edits. Request the recurring amounts and renewal terms in writing.
Also check what happens when something breaks, what support is included and who can make changes.
In that same client conversation, we discussed hosting separately from the website build, then worked through support, training and optional additions. It’s much easier to assess an investment when those costs are visible before you agree to it.
How should you compare website quotes in Calgary?
Send each provider the same page list and functional requirements. Then check these five things:
- Pages: Are you comparing the same number and type of pages?
- Writing: Who researches, writes and edits the content?
- Features: Are forms, bookings and integrations clearly defined?
- Delivery: What feedback, revisions, testing and training are included?
- After launch: What are the recurring fees, support terms and account access arrangements?
A cheaper quote may suit you well if you already have the content and only need a simple build. A more involved project may be worthwhile when your services are difficult to explain or customers need substantial information before contacting you.
The scope should make that difference understandable.
Do you need a completely new website?
You might be able to improve the one you have.
If the design still represents your business and the site works properly, clearer service descriptions, stronger project examples or a better contact process may be a sensible first step.
If the structure makes those improvements difficult, or your business has outgrown what the site can explain, a rebuild may make more sense.
Before spending money, identify the problem you need the website to solve.
Get a website quote based on what your business needs
Start with a list of your main services, the customers you want to attract and the features the website needs to support.
Bring your current website, too. We can discuss what’s useful, what needs work and what belongs in the scope.
Book a discovery call with Bizfront to talk through the pages and work your website needs, with clear pricing before the project begins.
