The short answer
At BlitzBack, a small business website starts at $599 if you bring your own domain and hosting. If you are starting from scratch, it is $799 for the first year with hosting and domain included, then $199 a year. All prices are in Canadian dollars, plus HST.
Prices elsewhere vary widely, so compare what is included, not just the headline number. And you see a free demo of your site before you pay anything.
What the website price includes
- A homepage
- An About page
- A Services page
- A Contact page with a form and a map
- A privacy policy page
- Three rounds of changes
- Performance and general metrics checked to score 70% or higher

How to compare quotes
Ask every company the same questions, so you compare like with like:
- Which pages are included?
- Do I see a demo before I pay?
- How many rounds of changes do I get?
- What do hosting and my domain cost after the first year?
- Is there a contract for ongoing services?
- What do maintenance and security include, and what do they not include?
