Fixed price for a defined scope (a 5-page site with listed features) protects both sides; hourly suits ongoing work and vague scopes. Standard payment structure is 30-50% deposit, remainder on launch — never pay 100% up front, and be wary of anyone who asks.

A 5-page small-business site takes 2-6 weeks with a responsive client; e-commerce adds 2-4 weeks. The most common delay is not the designer — it's the client's content. Have your text, photos and logo ready before kickoff and you'll cut the timeline roughly in half.

Freelancers typically run CAD 50-140/hr, with 5-page small-business sites commonly at CAD 2,000-8,000 and e-commerce from CAD 5,000. Rates track close to US levels in Toronto and Vancouver.
