How Much Does a Contractor Website Cost in Canada? (2026)
The short answer
A contractor website in Canada can cost anything from a few hundred dollars a year to $15,000 or more. Canadian 2026 price guides put it roughly like this: a DIY builder at about $10 to $60 a month, a freelancer at about $1,500 to $5,000 upfront, and an agency at about $5,000 to $15,000 or more, plus roughly $50 to $150 a month to keep it hosted and updated.
Those ranges come from a 2026 roundup by GLO, which pulls together guides from Setsail Marketing, Marvel Marketing and Elevate Web Design. Every one of those companies sells websites, so treat the numbers as market estimates, not gospel.
The more useful question is what it costs for a full year, and whether the site actually brings in work.
The three ways to get a site
| Option | Typical upfront cost | Typical monthly cost | Who makes changes | What's usually missing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DIY builder (Wix, Squarespace and similar) | Your time | About $10 to $60 | You | Your evenings, plus SEO and lead follow up |
| Freelancer | About $1,500 to $5,000 | Hosting and edits often extra | The freelancer, if they're available | Ongoing help and a lead system |
| Agency | About $5,000 to $15,000+ | Often $50 to $150 for maintenance | The agency, usually billed | Often priced out of reach for small crews |
Ranges are from the GLO roundup above. Individual quotes vary a lot. For example, Mac Digital in Whitby publishes roofing website packages at $1,200, $2,200 and $3,900 one-time.
The costs nobody puts in the quote
A website quote usually covers the build. What it doesn't always cover:
- Domain name. About $15 to $45 a year for a .ca, according to the same guides.
- Hosting and security. About $20 to $60 a month.
- Edits. New photos, a new service, a price change. Some designers bill each one.
- Photos and copy. Somebody has to write the service pages. If it's you, that's your time.
- Your time. A DIY site is cheap in dollars and expensive in Sunday nights.
A website that sits there vs a website that answers leads
Here's the part most price guides skip. A good-looking site that sends quote requests to an inbox you check twice a week isn't cheap at any price. Contractors lose more jobs on the reply than on the design.
The pieces that turn visitors into booked jobs:
- Tap-to-call and a short quote form on every phone screen
- A page for each service and main area so the right people land on the right page
- An instant reply when someone fills out a form or calls while you're on a job
- Follow up on open quotes, so a "let me think about it" doesn't turn into a no
- Review requests after every job, so the next visitor trusts you
If a quote doesn't include those, budget for them separately, or plan to do them by hand.
Where WorkWon fits
WorkWon has one plan for contractors, Contractor Advanced:
- $247 a month, billed yearly, which is $2,964 for the year
- $297 a month if you'd rather go month to month (about $3,564 over 12 months)
- Included: a 10 to 20 page website, Automated Lead Follow Up, Missed Call Text Back, the 5-Star Review Funnel (it asks every customer for a review, with up to 4 reminders), One-Click Marketing Campaigns and on-site SEO
- Add-ons: Google Business Profile optimization, Advanced SEO, and Google Ads and Local Services Ads management. Ad spend is always separate.
- Build time: 7 to 10 days after onboarding
Compared with a one-time build, you're not paying a lump sum and then paying again for every change and every tool. Compared with DIY, you're not writing the pages yourself. See the full list on our pricing page, or see what this looks like for roofing website design and landscaping website design.
When WorkWon is not the right fit
Being straight with you:
- You just want a simple brochure site that you'll update yourself and you don't need follow up or text-back. A DIY builder is cheaper.
- You need a big custom build, like an online store or a complex project portal. That's agency work.
- You won't use the tools. We'll set up the follow up, the review requests and the campaigns, but you have to answer the texts. No agency, us included, has a miracle fix if nobody replies.
Questions to ask any web designer before you sign
- What's the full cost for the first year, including hosting and edits?
- Who makes changes after launch, how fast, and what do they cost?
- Is lead follow up included, or is it a separate tool?
- How long until it's live?
Pricing
That's the whole price list, with no project quote to wait for.
- $247 a month, billed yearly ($2,964).
- Or $297 month to month.
- Google Ads are separate.
How it works
- Demo call. 20 minutes.
- Build. 7 to 10 days.
- Launch call. 25 minutes.
