How much does a WordPress website cost?
A small business WordPress website typically costs $1,500 to $4,000 CAD, around $2,000 for most. A single landing page is typically $800 to $1,500, a larger site or redesign $3,000 to $6,000, and a WooCommerce store $6,000 to $20,000.
Typical cost by scope
| Project | Typical range (CAD) | What it usually includes |
|---|---|---|
| Landing page | $800 to $1,500 | One focused page, custom design, lead form, speed and SEO basics |
| Small business website | $1,500 to $4,000 | Core pages on a custom theme, editable blocks, forms, analytics, launch |
| Larger site or redesign | $3,000 to $6,000 | More pages and templates, content migration, redirects, integrations |
| WooCommerce store | $6,000 to $20,000 | Catalogue, checkout, Canadian tax and shipping, payments, training |
| Custom plugins and integrations | Quoted after scoping | Features and connections that cannot be bought off the shelf |
These are typical ranges in Canadian dollars before tax, taken from the price sheet we quote from. They are not offers. Your price is the one in your written, fixed-scope quote.
What moves the price
- Design. A custom design costs more than configuring a well-built theme.
- Page templates. The number of distinct layouts matters more than the number of pages.
- Functionality. Stores, memberships, bookings and multilingual content add scope.
- Integrations. CRMs, booking tools, accounting or inventory systems.
- Content. Whether copy and images are ready, or need writing, migrating or sourcing.
- Speed, accessibility and security targets. Higher targets take more testing.
Ongoing costs
Plan for hosting, a domain, any paid plugin licences and maintenance. A care plan, covering updates, off-site backups, monitoring and small changes, is typically about 15 to 20 percent of the build cost per year.
How we quote
After a short, free scoping call we send a written, fixed-scope quote with milestones. The price only changes if you change the scope, and any change is quoted before it is done. For a quick estimate first, try the website cost calculator, or read the full WordPress website cost guide.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a small business WordPress website cost?
Typically $1,500 to $4,000 CAD, with most landing around $2,000. That covers a custom theme for your core pages, editable blocks, forms, analytics and launch.
Is a template site cheaper than a custom theme?
Usually, because there is less design work. We still check that the template is lightweight and supported, since a cheap theme that slows the site down costs more later.
What does WordPress cost to run each year?
Hosting, a domain and any paid plugins, plus maintenance. A care plan is typically about 15 to 20 percent of the build cost per year.
Is WordPress cheaper than a custom-built site?
For content and commerce sites, usually yes, because WordPress and WooCommerce give you a mature base to build on. For complex web applications a custom framework can be the better fit, and we will say so.
