The verdict in three sentences
In Quebec City, an aesthetic clinic website from a local agency costs roughly 6 000 to 28 000+ USD in 2026 (converted from CAD quotes), while a freelancer usually asks 2 000 to 8 000 USD. Kolonell uses a fixed grid, Starter 2 900 USD, Growth 4 900 USD and Premium 8 900 USD, with native English or French copy, a project manager reachable in Eastern Time and delivery in 3 to 4 weeks. A Quebec City agency keeps the edge for photo shoots in your Sainte-Foy or Old Quebec clinic and face-to-face meetings; Kolonell wins when the scope is clear and you want to know the price upfront.
This version is written for English-speaking clinic owners and medical directors in Quebec City, who face the same market and the same French-language requirements as their francophone peers.
What does a Quebec City agency charge for an aesthetic clinic website?
The ranges below are based on public rate cards of some Quebec agencies, Clutch.co profiles that list minimum project sizes, and freelance platform rates (Upwork, Clutch listings). They are deliberately wide: an 8-page site with a booking link and a 25-page site with a skincare shop are different projects.
| Option | 2026 range (USD) | Usual timeline | Often included | After launch |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Established Quebec City agency | 10 000 to 28 000+ | 8 to 14 weeks | workshops, design, build, sometimes photography | monthly fee, often 100 to 250 USD |
| Small agency or local studio | 6 000 to 14 000 | 6 to 10 weeks | template-based design, build, basic SEO | hourly, often 75 to 140 USD |
| Freelancer | 2 000 to 8 000 | 4 to 10 weeks | design and build, copy often supplied by the clinic | ad hoc |
| Kolonell Starter | 2 900 | 3 to 4 weeks | compact site, native copy, booking link | 3 months of support |
| Kolonell Growth | 4 900 | 3 to 4 weeks | one page per treatment, booking embed, practitioner profiles | 3 months of support |
| Kolonell Premium | 8 900 | usually 4 to 6 weeks, written schedule | larger structure, bilingual French/English site | 6 months of support |
The gaps come mostly from writing the treatment pages, the number of revision rounds and photography. Each tier is detailed on our international website offer.
What does each tier cover for a Quebec City aesthetic clinic?
| Element | Starter 2 900 USD | Growth 4 900 USD | Premium 8 900 USD |
|---|---|---|---|
| Treatment pages | main families (injectables, skin treatments, laser) | one page per treatment | one page per treatment plus concern pages (wrinkles, pigmentation, rosacea) |
| Team | team page | profiles with qualifications and professional order | profiles plus editorial content |
| Booking | link to your software | embed of your software | embed and refined journey, custom work quoted |
| Forms | contact | consultation request | consultation plus pre-visit questionnaire |
| Languages | English or French | English or French | French and English |
| Timeline and support | 3 to 4 weeks, 3 months | 3 to 4 weeks, 3 months | usually 4 to 6 weeks, 6 months |
In every case, the domain is registered in the clinic's name, all access is handed over, and payment is by bank transfer or Wise, 50 % to start and 50 % at delivery.
Which rules should a Quebec City aesthetic clinic keep in mind?
Quebec City's clientele is overwhelmingly francophone, with tourists and English-speaking residents around Old Quebec and Parliament Hill. The site must first be flawless in French, fast on mobile and consistent with your Google Business Profile, even if you run the clinic in English day to day.
A useful site includes factual treatment pages (what the treatment is, who performs it, why a consultation comes first, aftercare), practitioner profiles with their professional order, booking through the software you already use, consultation forms sent through a provider suited to health information, and before and after photos only with written patient consent.
Stated factually, without going into detail: Law 25 governs the collection and use of personal information in Quebec, including through forms and cookies; the Charter of the French Language requires commercial content and advertising to be available in French; the Collège des médecins du Québec and the Ordre des infirmières et infirmiers du Québec regulate the practice and advertising of their members; Health Canada restricts advertising prescription drugs to the public, which affects how injectables are presented. Your clinic checks these points with its advisers: this article is not legal advice. Kolonell writes without promises of results or "painless" claims, and your medical director validates every page.
Honest limit: on-site photo and video shoots are not included in the Kolonell grid. The clinic supplies its images or books a Quebec City photographer separately, a real strength of the local agency.
How do you compare quotes and spot red flags?
Ask each provider, in writing: how many treatment pages and who writes them, how your booking software is connected, how many revision rounds are included, who owns the domain and hosting, what the monthly fee covers and how long the commitment lasts. Red flags: a domain in the agency's name, copy that promises results, before and after galleries without a consent process, 24 or 36 month maintenance contracts with no exit, and a French version produced by machine translation. On the remote side, insist on a named project manager, a written schedule and calls at hours that suit you: your mornings are the afternoon of the Kolonell team, based in Senegal (GMT).

Mini case study
Illustrative example, hypothetical persona: Dr. Catherine, physician and owner of an aesthetic clinic in Sainte-Foy, receives a 15 000 USD quote from a Quebec City agency, plus 125 USD a month of maintenance on a 36-month commitment.
| 3-year item | Quebec City agency | Kolonell Growth |
|---|---|---|
| Build | 15 000 USD | 4 900 USD |
| Local photographer | included | 1 000 USD (assumption) |
| Hosting over 36 months | included in the fee | 30 USD/month, i.e. 1 080 USD |
| Maintenance | 125 x 36 = 4 500 USD | 3 months included, then a 2 500 USD envelope (her own assumption) |
| Total | 19 500 USD | 9 480 USD |
The gap is about 10 000 USD. What she gives up: in-person meetings and agency-managed photography. What she keeps: native copy, one page per treatment, her booking software embedded and a site delivered in 3 to 4 weeks.
