Web Design in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie

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 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.

A content management system (WordPress, Webflow, Shopify) lets you edit text, images and posts without a developer. If you'll update content more than a few times a year — blog, menus, listings — you need one. If the site is a static business card, skipping the CMS makes the site cheaper, faster and harder to hack.

Usually not — most quotes assume you supply finished text and images. Professional copywriting and a photo shoot are typically separate line items that can add 20-50% to a project. Stock photos and designer-polished draft text are the common middle ground; agree this explicitly before signing.

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.
