Ask five web design agencies what a website costs and you'll get five different answers, usually followed by "it depends" and a request for a call before any number gets mentioned. Here's a straight answer, published up front: fixed-price packages for Calgary and Alberta small businesses run from $1,499 to $4,499 CAD, and the scope behind each price is fixed too.
The Three Fixed Packages
Starter — $1,499 CAD + GST. Built for solo practitioners, single-service businesses, and new startups. Includes a custom single-page website (mobile-ready, fast-loading), domain registration and DNS configuration, enterprise-grade managed hosting with an SSL certificate, a contact/booking form wired to your inbox, and Calendly or Google Calendar booking integration.
Professional — $2,899 CAD + GST. Built for multi-service practices, professional firms, and growing small-to-medium businesses. Includes everything in Starter, plus a 5-to-6-page multi-page site (one dedicated page per service), About/FAQ/Contact pages, advanced local SEO across multiple service areas and keywords, and each service page optimised for AI assistants and local search.
Commerce — $4,499 CAD + GST. Built for retail, food, agriculture, or any business selling products online. Includes everything in Professional, plus a fully staff-managed Shopify Basic store, Shopify Payments, a product catalogue for up to 40 products, and order notifications direct to staff.
Why the Price Is Published Instead of Quoted
A website is straightforward enough to scope in advance — the variation between projects is mostly page count, ecommerce or not, and how much ongoing SEO/local search work is included. Publishing fixed pricing up front means a small business can compare real numbers instead of waiting on a sales call to find out what the actual cost is.
What This Doesn't Include
Every package includes a walkthrough of a few additional inclusions on a free strategy call, because the exact extras (like the number of email addresses or specific integrations needed) vary slightly by business — the headline price and core scope above don't change.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's included in a fixed-price web design package?
The Starter package ($1,499 CAD + GST) includes a custom single-page site, domain and DNS setup, managed hosting with SSL, and a contact/booking form. The Professional package ($2,899 CAD + GST) adds a 5-6 page multi-service site, About/FAQ/Contact pages, and advanced local SEO. The Commerce package ($4,499 CAD + GST) adds a fully staff-managed Shopify store with product catalogue and order notifications.
Why do web design quotes vary so much between agencies?
Most of the variation comes from scope, not markup — how many pages, whether it's a template or custom build, whether ecommerce is involved, and whether ongoing hosting and maintenance are included in the price or billed separately afterward. A fixed, published price only works if the scope behind it is fixed too.
