Pricing for a website in Port Coquitlam is one of those things nobody wants to give a straight answer on. Ask three agencies and you will get three vastly different numbers. The truth is the price depends on what you are actually building and who is building it. Here is the real breakdown.
The Three Categories
Most local business websites fall into one of three buckets. Each has a different floor and ceiling.
Brochure sites are the simplest. Three to five pages: home, about, services, contact. No booking, no payments, no logins. A clean local brochure site usually lands somewhere between $700 and $1,500.
Trade and contractor sites are where most of our work sits. Five to ten pages, service area pages for the cities you serve, on-page SEO done properly, a real contact form with conversion tracking, GBP integration, and copy written for the searches your customers are actually making. Real pricing for this is $1,500 to $3,000 done right.
E-commerce sites need product pages, a checkout, payment integration, inventory, shipping, taxes, and ongoing maintenance. Custom Next.js plus Stripe builds typically start around $2,000 to $4,000 depending on complexity. Avoid Shopify if you can - the monthly fees and transaction cuts add up fast over three years.
What Pushes the Price Up
- Custom design: a real designer building something for your brand, not a template you bought for $40.
- More pages: each city page, service page, or case study is more time. Worth it for SEO, but it adds up.
- Copy writing: someone has to write the words. If the agency does it, factor that in.
- SEO setup: schema, sitemaps, GBP integration, conversion tracking. Often skipped on cheap sites and noticed when leads do not come.
- E-commerce or booking: payments, calendars, member areas. These add real engineering time.
What Keeps It Reasonable
- Clear scope at the start: a written list of pages and features so nothing balloons mid-project.
- Fast feedback from your end: most projects stretch out because the client takes weeks to send copy or photos. Faster turnaround means lower cost.
- One focused purpose: a site built to get the phone ringing is cheaper than a site that tries to do everything.
What to Watch Out For
The cheap end of the market is full of traps. Sites built on page builders that look generic and load slowly. Agencies that lock you out of your own hosting or domain so you can never leave. Monthly fees that never explain what they actually cover. Three signals that should make you walk away:
- You do not own your domain or hosting at the end of the project.
- The site loads in more than three seconds on a phone.
- The monthly fee has no clear deliverables tied to it.
