How Much Does a Website Cost in BC? (2026 Guide)

If you've asked three agencies for a website quote in BC, you've probably heard three very different numbers. Here's how website pricing actually works, so you can compare quotes properly.

Typical website price ranges

• DIY builders: a low monthly fee, but your time, limited SEO control and a template look.
• Small business website (5–8 pages): typically a few thousand dollars for custom design, mobile-first build, basic SEO and contact forms. Our Launch package is $2,490.
• Growth website (10–20 pages, booking or e-commerce, CRM): usually mid four figures to low five figures. Our Growth package is $5,990.
• Web apps, portals and custom platforms: scoped by feature, usually from $12,000.

What actually drives the price

1. Number of unique page designs

Ten pages that share two layouts cost far less than ten one-off designs.

2. Functionality

Booking, payments, member logins, quote calculators and CRM integrations each add build and testing time.

3. Content

Copywriting, photography and video are often the hidden cost. Ask whether the quote includes writing your service pages.

4. SEO setup

A site without titles, meta descriptions, schema, a sitemap and a Google Business Profile connection is a brochure nobody finds. Make sure on-page SEO is included, not an add-on.

Ongoing costs to budget for

• Domain: roughly $20–$30 per year for a .ca
• Hosting, SSL and backups: usually $20–$50 per month for a managed plan
• Updates, security and SEO: optional care or growth plan

Red flags in a website quote

• You won't own the domain or the site files
• No mention of mobile speed or SEO
• Hourly billing with no cap
• A long contract just to keep your site online

The bottom line

A good BC business website is an investment that should pay for itself in leads. Get a fixed price, make sure you own everything, and insist on SEO from day one. See our website packages or book a free audit.
