Toronto e-commerce websites from C$3,990

Shopify if you want the platform to handle hosting, security, payments and PCI compliance for a monthly fee, and you are happy working within its structure. WooCommerce if you already run WordPress, need unusual product or pricing rules, or want to avoid platform transaction fees. We will make a recommendation based on your catalogue and how you operate — and tell you the real trade-offs, including the ongoing costs.

Yes. We migrate products, variants, collections, customers, and order history where the platforms allow it. The part that matters most is URL mapping — an unmapped store migration can lose you every product page Google has indexed. We map and redirect them as part of the work.

GST, HST and PST are configured by province, so a customer in Ontario is charged 13% HST and a customer in Alberta is charged 5% GST without you doing anything manually. If you sell outside Canada we will set up the rules for that too.

We set up the payment methods Canadian shoppers expect — cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay, plus Shop Pay or PayPal if you want them — and configure shipping rates for the way you actually ship: flat rate, by weight, by region, free over a threshold, or local pickup.

A store is a website plus a catalogue, plus payments, plus tax, plus shipping, plus the operational side of getting orders out. That is why stores start at C$3,990 rather than C$2,490, and why a substantial store is typically C$5,900–C$8,900+. Catalogue size, custom functionality, subscriptions or B2B pricing, and integrations with inventory or accounting systems are what move the number.

A straightforward business website is usually three to five weeks from approved scope to launch. Larger sites and online stores typically run six to ten weeks. The single biggest factor is how quickly content and feedback come back from your side — we will tell you the honest timeline for your project before you commit, not an optimistic one.

Yes. You own the domain, the hosting account, the website files, the design and the content. Everything is registered in your name, and you get the logins. If you ever decide to work with someone else, you take it all with you and we will help with the handover.

Hosting is not included in the build price, and we deliberately keep it in your name rather than reselling it to you. We will recommend a suitable host for your site, set it up, and hand you the account. Typical hosting for a business site runs a few hundred dollars a year, paid directly to the host.

Yes. We build on platforms you can edit without a developer, and we show you how — text, images, prices, new pages, blog posts. For anything structural you can come back to us, but day-to-day changes should not require an invoice.

Launch is not the last conversation. We stay available for the settling-in period, confirm your analytics and Search Console are reporting correctly, and fix anything that turns out to be wrong with the build. Ongoing maintenance and support are available separately if you want them — they are not compulsory.
