How much does a website cost in Quebec in 2026?

Published website prices in Quebec, lowest to highest

Most Quebec web agencies publish no prices at all. I collected the ones that do and reopened every page on October 10, 2026 to confirm the figure. All amounts are in Canadian dollars, before tax.

Two notes. Lannkin's home page shows $99 a month while its pricing page starts at $199, so ask which one applies before you sign. And $1,500 sits below every price published by an agency in this list (H1Site, Agence Minimal, Digitad), but above the entry-level options such as Nixi's one-page site or Tremaweb's yearly plan.

What drives the price

Five things set the price of a small business website. Here they are in the order that matters most for a local, owner-run business.

1. Features. A basic contact form costs little. Online booking, a multi-step quote form or online payments push the price up: H1Site goes from $2,500 to a $3,500 to $6,000 range as soon as booking or sales are involved.
2. Template or custom. Jinnove prices a template-based site at $1,000 to $3,000 and a custom WordPress build from $5,000.
3. Languages. According to H1Site's price guide, a multilingual version adds 50 to 100% to the cost. In Quebec, French is not optional: the OQLF treats a business website as a commercial publication that must exist in French (OQLF letter, March 2025). An English-only site is not a cheaper version of the same thing.
4. Who writes the copy. A quote that assumes you supply all the text looks cheaper. The hours spent writing are yours.
5. Hourly rate. Agence Minimal puts Laval agencies at $75 to $200 an hour. The same 20-hour project can cost very different amounts.

The costs that come after launch

The build is only the first invoice. Here is what the recurring items cost, based on published prices.

Run the numbers over three years, not on the first invoice. My French article on subscription versus one-time purchase does that math with the prices above.

How to compare two quotes

Put the quotes side by side and ask these nine questions. A quote that does not answer one of them in writing is not comparable.

1. How many pages, and which ones exactly?
2. How many pages in French and how many in English?
3. Who writes the copy?
4. Is the domain registered in your name?
5. If you stop paying, do you keep the site, the files and the domain?
6. Is hosting included, and what does it cost on renewal?
7. How many rounds of revisions?
8. Are the forms and the privacy policy in scope? Quebec's Law 25 requires a published privacy policy as soon as your site collects personal information.
9. What is the payment schedule? Jinnove says a 30 to 50% deposit is common.

Question 5 is the one that costs the most when it is skipped. On the pages I reviewed, neither Lannkin nor Tremaweb says what happens to the site if you cancel.

What budget to plan for

A simple rule drawn from the table:

• Under $1,000. A one-page site, or a builder you set up yourself. Fine for testing an idea, but you write everything and you own the upkeep.
• $1,500 to $3,000. A 5-page showcase site built by a professional, bilingual, with a form or online booking. This is where most plumbers, clinics, salons and studios land.
• $3,500 and up. Online sales, several locations, custom integrations, or an agency team with a project manager.

If you are choosing between an agency and a freelancer at the same budget, my guide on agency or freelancer covers the trade-offs.

Where Always Booked fits

Always Booked charges $1,500, once, for up to 5 pages designed for your brand, in French and English, with the copy written for you, online booking or quote requests, your Google reviews on the site and two rounds of revisions. The domain is registered in your name and you keep everything if we stop working together. Hosting and upkeep are available at $150 a month, month to month, and you are free to host elsewhere. The full scope is on the websites page.
