How much does a small business website cost in Ontario?

If you have searched for website pricing in Ontario, you have probably seen everything from $99 Wix templates to $15,000 agency proposals. Most small business owners in Kingston, Belleville, and surrounding towns just want a straight answer.

The honest range

For a single-page marketing site from a local freelancer or small agency, expect $500–$1,500 + HST for setup. Monthly costs depend on whether you self-host or use a managed service:

• Domain: ~$15–20/year (you register this yourself)
• Hosting: $15–50/month for managed static hosting
• Platform fees: $0 if your site is built with static HTML (Astro, etc.) instead of WordPress or Squarespace

What drives the price up

More pages, custom copywriting, logo design, e-commerce, booking systems, and ongoing SEO retainers all add cost. If someone quotes you $750 for a five-page site with a logo and six months of SEO, ask exactly what is included.
