What does a small business website actually cost in Winnipeg?

This is a sample post so you can see the blog design — replace it with your first real post.

Ask three companies for a website quote and you'll get three wildly different numbers. Here's what's actually behind them.

The DIY builders ($0–$40/month)

Wix, Squarespace, and friends. Genuinely fine for some businesses — if you have the time and patience to build it yourself. Most owners I meet started here, got 70% done, and haven't touched it in eight months.

The agencies ($3,000+)

You're paying for meetings, project managers, and revision rounds. The result is usually good! But for a barbershop or a lawn care company, it's more website than the job requires.

The honest middle

What most small businesses actually need: a well-built site that loads fast, looks professional, and tells customers what you do and how to reach you. That's what I charge $500 + $50/month for — the monthly covers hosting and upkeep, and most businesses never pay a cent more.
