Web Design in Moose Jaw

A proper quote itemizes: number of pages, responsive/mobile behavior, number of revision rounds (2-3 is standard), CMS setup, basic on-page SEO (titles, metas, sitemap), browser testing, and what happens to hosting and domain after handover. If a quote is one line with one number, ask for the breakdown.

Two to three structured revision rounds are the industry standard, usually stated in the contract. Unlimited-revision promises sound generous but signal weak process — projects with no revision cap routinely stall for months. Consolidate all your feedback into each round instead of drip-feeding changes.

One page: what the business does, the site's single main goal (calls, bookings, orders), the pages you need, 2-3 example sites you like and why, your content status (ready or needed), deadline, and budget range. Sharing your real budget gets you an honest proposal instead of a guessing game.

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.

Only if you do business in Quebec, where French is required for commercial websites serving the province — and federally regulated sectors have their own rules. For the rest of Canada, English-only is legally fine; bilingual is a market-reach decision.
