One developer handling the build, the hosting, and the small fixes that come up long after launch. Nothing gets handed off to a stranger who has never seen your site.
Most projects land in one of these. Plenty land in more than one, which is exactly the point of hiring someone who does both sides.
New sites built from scratch when a template will not hold what the business actually needs.
Plugins, theme work, and migrations for sites that are already live and need something specific done right.
Helpdesk work and Microsoft 365 administration for teams who need a technical person on call.
Move the sliders and pick what you need. This is a ballpark, not a quote, but it will tell you whether we are in the same range before either of us spends time on a call.
Prices in CAD. Hosting and domain are billed separately at cost. Every project is different, so treat this as a starting point for the conversation.
Four stages, and you know what is happening at each one.
We talk about what the site needs to do and who it is for. Free, no commitment.
I write up what is included and what it costs. A 50% deposit starts the work.
You see it early and often. Up to three rounds of changes are built into the price.
Final payment, the site goes live, and I am still here when something breaks.
Honestly, usually not. A single well built page can take days of work once you account for responsive layouts, content setup, and testing. If your budget is tight, tell me the number and I will tell you straight whether I can do something useful within it.
Yes. If the project includes a CMS, you get access and a short written guide for the things you will actually do, updating text, swapping photos, adding posts. If you would rather not touch it, that is what the monthly maintenance option is for.
A simple site is usually two to three weeks. Something with custom functionality, a store, or a migration is more like four to eight. I will give you a real date range before you pay anything.
Because at an agency the person who built your site is often gone by the time you need help with it. With me, the person who wrote the code is the same person answering the email eighteen months later.
Yes, that is the IT support side. DNS, mailboxes, Microsoft 365, the stuff that is technically not web development but still ends up being your problem on a Monday morning.
What the site needs to do, and who it needs to do it for. Most first replies come within a day.
