One of the first questions GTA business owners ask us: "How much is this going to cost?"
Fair question. Here's a straight answer.
DIY platforms (Wix, Squarespace, Shopify) $0–$50/month. You build it yourself. Looks template-y. Monthly fees add up.
Freelancers on Fiverr or Upwork $200–$800 one-time. Hit or miss quality. Little accountability. You often get what you pay for.
Local GTA web design agencies $5,000–$25,000+. Professional quality but expensive overhead. Often slow — 8 to 12 weeks.
Stridr Studio $1,500–$8,000 depending on features. Custom-built, 2-week delivery, no monthly platform fees. You pay for features as you need them.
The biggest factors:
For a small service business (plumber, salon, consultant): $1,500–$3,500 for a clean, professional, mobile-friendly site that gets you found on Google and turns visitors into calls.
For a business with e-commerce or booking: $3,500–$7,000 for a full-featured site that works like a sales machine.
The real question is: how much business are you losing without a professional website?
If even one extra customer per month finds you online because of your new site — at $200–$500 per job — your website pays for itself in months.
