Website cost guide
Typical 2026 prices for a small business website in Ontario, and what drives them.
Website pricing is confusing because it’s sold in very different ways: build it yourself, pay monthly, or pay once for a custom build. Here’s what each typically costs, based on our 2026 research of Ontario providers. Your own quote will depend on what you need.

Take Flight redesigned my website in a fraction of the time as our previous agency, and at a fraction of the cost. Extremely pleased with the results. Wish I came to them sooner!
