The verdict in three sentences
In Toronto in 2026, a multipage business website runs from CAD 5,000 (5 pages) to CAD 29,000 (20 pages) depending on size and level of custom work. Price does not depend on page count alone: content provided or written and custom design vs template weigh just as much. Finally, budget CAD 1,300-3,400/year for hosting and maintenance.
Pricing grid by page count in 2026
Page count is the first price lever, because each extra template needs design, build and content. Here is the grid seen in Toronto, as a 2026 order of magnitude.
| Site size | Price (CAD) | Timeline | For whom |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 pages | 5,000 - 8,500 | 4 - 6 weeks | Micro-business, launch |
| 10 pages | 8,500 - 16,000 | 6 - 8 weeks | Established SME |
| 15 pages | 13,000 - 22,000 | 7 - 9 weeks | Multi-service SME |
| 20 pages | 16,000 - 29,000 | 8 - 10 weeks | Structured SME |
Beyond 20 pages, the project usually shifts toward a corporate logic (advanced CMS, governance) that changes the nature of the estimate.
Add-ons and recurring costs
Add-on features and annual fees are often underestimated. Here are the items to build into the quote from the start.
| Add-on / item | 2026 cost (CAD) | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Blog + editor | +2,000 - 4,000 | Durable SEO lever |
| Advanced analytics | +700 - 1,700 | Conversion tracking |
| Booking module | +2,800 - 5,600 | Online appointments |
| Fully custom design | +2,800 - 7,000 | vs adapted template |
| Hosting + maintenance | 1,300 - 3,400 / year | Security, backups, updates |
The provided-vs-written content choice can swing the quote by CAD 2,000-5,500: supplying ready text and photos cuts the bill noticeably.
Mini case study
Olivia, owner of a consulting SME in Toronto, wants a 10-page site with a blog and online booking. Base 10 pages: CAD 12,000, + blog CAD 3,000, + booking module CAD 4,200, for CAD 19,200. She supplies her own text and photos, saving about CAD 3,500 in copywriting. The booking module removes 5 hours/week of phone handling (valued at CAD 50/hour), or 5 × 52 × 50 = CAD 13,000/year of reclaimed time. The module's cost (CAD 4,200) is recouped in under four months.

FAQ
Why does the price double between 5 and 20 pages?
Because each extra template needs design, build, content and testing. Going from 5 to 20 pages also multiplies SEO structure and navigation work.
Does supplying my content really cut the bill?
Yes, by CAD 2,000-5,500 depending on volume. Beware though: non-optimised text needs an SEO review (CAD 1,000-2,000) so it does not hurt ranking.
How much are hosting and maintenance per year?
Between CAD 1,300 and 3,400/year depending on service level: security, backups, updates and support. It is essential to avoid a premature rebuild.
Is a booking module worth the extra cost?
Often yes for appointment-based businesses: it removes hours of manual handling and reduces no-shows. Payback is measured in a few months.
What timeline for a 10-page site?
Between 6 and 8 weeks in 2026, if content is ready. Content production and approval cycles are the main factors that stretch it.
