What does a custom website actually cost in Canada in 2026?
Honest answer: $1,500 to $15,000+. The range is real because what you're really pricing is whether the site is a brochure, a system, or a platform. Here's what each band buys you — with real LogicYogi numbers, not industry averages.
Single-page or 3-page marketing site. Custom design, modern stack, real performance — but no admin, no booking, no portal. Best for businesses that need to look credible online but won't update the site monthly.
- ·Up to 5 pages, hand-crafted
- ·Mobile-first, sub-1.5s LCP
- ·Contact form to email
- ·Schema markup + sitemap + robots
- ·Domain + hosting setup
- ·1 round of revisions, 2-3 week delivery
What most LogicYogi clients land at. Multi-page editorial site + admin where you can update copy, photos, and a small CMS without code. Real local SEO, real performance, real conversion-tuned design.
- ·5-15 pages including blog or case studies
- ·Custom admin for content (copy, photos, posts)
- ·Multi-step intake or quote form
- ·Email + WhatsApp + GA wired
- ·Bilingual support if needed
- ·2 rounds of revisions, 3-5 week delivery
When the site has to do real work — bookings with deposits, customer portals, admin dashboards, integrations, or multi-tenant logic. This is where LogicYogi's edge actually lives.
- ·All of Flagship +
- ·Custom booking, portal, or admin
- ·Stripe / Calendar / CRM integrations
- ·Role-based access (admin / staff / customer)
- ·Custom data model fit to your business
- ·4-8 week delivery, ongoing retainer optional
Number of pages and content depth
Each new page is 2-4 hrs of design + content + QA. 30-page sites with custom imagery cost more than 5-page sites.
Bilingual or multilingual
+15-25% for full EN/FR. Translation and CMS hooks are the time, not the content itself.
Integrations
Stripe + Calendar + email = baked-in cost. Custom CRM, ERP, or payment gateway integrations add $500-2,500 each.
Custom systems vs marketing-only
A site with a real booking flow costs 2-3× a marketing-only site. The booking flow IS most of the work.
Photography + copywriting
We don't shoot or write — but we pair you with photographers + copywriters if needed. Roughly $800-2,500 for a small business depending on scope.
Why is your pricing higher than freelancers on Upwork?
Freelancer rates are global; we're Toronto-based and ship production-quality systems, not theme installs. The compounding value is in what we build BEHIND the marketing — custom systems, integrations, and code you actually own. Brochure sites we don't really compete on price.
Why is your pricing lower than agencies charging $20-50k?
We're 2 people, no account managers, no overhead. We charge for our time, not for layers. Agencies in that range are fine if you need a 6-person team — we're the right answer if you want shipped product, fast.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes — typically 50% on contract, 50% on launch. For projects above $5k we can split into 33/33/33 across milestones. No interest, no fees.
What if we want changes after launch?
$95/hr after launch, billed monthly. Most LogicYogi clients land in 5-15 hrs/mo on retainer if they need ongoing work. Many don't need any after launch.

Paste your URL — we run a free audit, then send a fixed-price quote tailored to your scope. No follow-up sequences.
