If you run a local business in Canada, whether it's a retail shop, restaurant, auto service, or salon, you’ve probably wondered:
“How much should a website actually cost?”
You might’ve heard everything from “$300 on Wix” to “$10,000 for a full build,” but most local business owners just need something that’s affordable, functional, and built to get results—not something complicated or bloated.
Let’s break down what a website really costs in Canada for local businesses in 2025—plus what to expect at each price point.
In a post-pandemic, search-first world, your website is your digital storefront. Even if most of your customers come from the neighborhood, they’re still Googling you first.
If you're relying on social media alone, you're missing out on the Google traffic, credibility, and lead capture your website provides.
Here’s what you can expect to pay depending on how you build your site:
Total Cost: $300–$1,200/year
💡 Great for: new businesses with minimal budget
🚫 Limitations: generic design, harder to rank on Google, limited custom features
Total Cost: $1,200–$3,000 CAD (one-time)
💡 Great for: businesses that want something unique but simple
🚫 Limitations: support may be limited; quality varies
Total Cost: $1,500–$6,000 CAD (or low-upfront w/ monthly plans)
💡 Great for: businesses who want to grow, not just exist
🚫 Limitation: Slightly higher investment—but higher return over time
