Domain Name Registration
This is a yearly renewal fee of around *$50 Canadian per year to reserve your website address. i.e. www.yourwebsite.com. I say 'around' because it can change and different sites will offer different deals.
This is a good place to start: http://www.internic.ca. Here you can search to see if the name you want is still available or already taken. Before you register a domain name, talk to us!!! There are several ways to get a website to rank high in a google search but your actual domain name is one of the biggest factors. We will help you pick the right one!
If you go to bulk hosting sites you can reserve for less, but be very careful and read the fine print before you commit to any contracts...
Website Hosting
Your website has to be 'hosted' online for it to be accessible on the internet. The fee varies widely depending on the services your site needs, but in many cases it would be between *$250 - *$500 Canadian per year.
Again, if you go to bulk hosting sites you can host for less, but be very careful and read the fine print before you commit to any contracts..
Design and Development
This is the process of creating your customized website from scratch. It involves everything from our initial discussions nailing down what is important to you and your business, to creating the visual layout of the website, to coding every page that will eventually be part of your final site. The minimum fee for this is *$1,500. You may very well have a quote higher than this but we have done several sites for this amount. The only way to know for sure is to have a meeting and establish what you want in a site!
If you are a non-profit organization we may be able to develop a site for you for less than this amount. Please call ahead and we will set up a meeting to see what can be done.

Maintenance
When your website is complete and launched to the World Wide Web for all to see and use, you will want to update the content, make changes etc.
Your site can be set up so either we do the maintenance for you or with a Content Management System that gives you an administration interface that will allow you to do the maintenance on your own.
Our rates range from *$35 an hour to *$60 an hour for maintenance depending on the frequency of work you need done. Please see our maintenance packages here. There is no minimum fee. Meaning if we do 15 minutes of work you will be billed for 15 minutes, no more.
Our turn around times are within 48 hours, usually within 24 hours and often the same day.
If your site is built with a Content Management System, you will have a minimum of *$1,500 added to the overall cost of your site but will then have full control of your own website and access to update it on your own 24/7.
We'll discuss this option thoroughly with you as part of the process so you can make an informed and appropriate choice as to whether it is right for you and your particular situation and needs!
* Of course... remember to add all applicable taxes to each cost.
