Toronto & the GTA

A couple of sentences is plenty. What you do, and what you want the site to do for you.

Approximate budget optional

Only if you have one in mind. It helps us scope realistically rather than guessing.

Pricing

How custom development is priced

There is no honest starting price for open-ended functional work, so we do not invent one. We scope it, then fix the price. If it sits on top of a normal business website, the website part uses the published pricing below.

Custom Software

Internal tools, portals and systems built around how your business runs.

Scoped per project

What the starting package covers

  • Discovery to establish what the system has to do and who uses it
  • Architecture and data model designed before anything is built
  • Web application build, front end and back end
  • Integrations with the tools you already run on
  • Role-based access and permissions
  • Deployment, monitoring and handover

What moves the price

  • How many distinct user roles and workflows the system carries
  • Data volume, reporting and compliance requirements
  • Number and complexity of external systems it has to talk to
  • Whether it replaces an existing system, and what has to be migrated

What's included

What this covers

  • A discovery stage that establishes what the system has to do, who uses it and what it replaces
  • A written scope and a fixed price before any development begins
  • Booking and appointment systems, including availability rules and notifications
  • Quote and estimate calculators for businesses that price by size, distance, weight or option
  • Customer portals and login areas — order history, documents, job status
  • Job, enquiry and dispatch workflows
  • Payment integration where you take deposits or payment online
  • Integrations with the tools you already run on: CRM, email platform, accounting, scheduling, inventory
  • Admin interfaces built for the people who use them every day, not just for the customer-facing side
  • Role-based access so staff see what they need and nothing they should not
  • Form handling, validation, spam protection and reliable delivery of notifications
  • Deployment, monitoring, and a handover of the code and accounts to you

Ongoing hosting, third-party service subscriptions and any API costs are paid by you, directly, in your name. We will tell you what they are before you commit, not after.

How it works

Six steps, and you know the price before step three.

No discovery invoices, no scope creep, no surprise change orders halfway through.

  1. Tell us about the business

    A short call or a form. What you do, who buys from you, what you want the website to bring in. No technical questions.

  2. Strategy and scope

    InceptiCode comes back with a page-by-page plan and a fixed price. You approve it before anything is designed or built.

  3. Design

    The key pages are designed properly, with your content in them rather than a wireframe. Two rounds of revisions are built into the price.

  4. Development

    The approved design gets built — responsive, fast, with forms and tracking wired up as part of the work.

  5. Review

    A staging link goes to you, and you go through it properly. Content, links, forms, phone numbers. Anything wrong gets fixed before launch.

  6. Launch

    InceptiCode handles DNS, hosting and the cutover, submits the sitemap to Google, and confirms tracking is recording. Then we stay reachable.

Why InceptiCode

How we approach functional work

We scope before we quote

Functional work goes wrong when nobody establishes what it has to do before someone starts building. We do that first, in writing, and you approve it.

Built for the people who use it daily

The person entering ten jobs a day is the real user, not the customer who visits once. If the internal side is painful the system gets abandoned regardless of how good it looks.

We tell you when you do not need custom

A lot of what businesses ask us to build already exists as a plugin, an app or an off-the-shelf tool for a fraction of the cost. We will point you at it. We would rather do the piece you actually need custom.

It has to survive us

Conventional stack, readable code, documentation, and a handover. If another developer picks it up in two years, they should be able to work with it.

Integrations tested against the real thing

Not against a documentation example. If it talks to your CRM, we test it against your CRM before it goes live.

Fixed price, agreed up front

Once the scope is settled the price is settled. Changes are priced and approved separately, before they are built.

FAQ

Questions about custom development

What counts as web development rather than web design?

Design is how the site looks and how the pages are organised. Development is what the site does — a booking system, a quote calculator, a customer login area, a job-request workflow, a connection to the software you already run on. Most business websites need a little of it; some need a lot.

How is this priced if there is no starting price?

Because there is no honest starting number for open-ended functional work — a booking form and a dispatch portal are not the same project. What we do instead is scope it properly first: we work out what the system has to do and who uses it, then give you a fixed price before development begins. If the functionality sits on top of a normal business website, the website part is priced from C$2,490 as usual and the custom work is quoted separately on top.

Can you add functionality to my existing website?

Usually yes, and often that is the cheaper answer. We will look at what your site is built on and tell you whether the functionality can be added cleanly or whether the existing build will fight it. If it will fight it, we will say so rather than charging you to find out slowly.

Can you integrate with the software we already use?

That is a large part of this work — CRMs, email platforms, accounting, dispatch and scheduling software, inventory systems, payment providers. What matters is whether the system has an API and what it exposes. Tell us what you run and we will check before quoting.

Who owns the code?

You do. The code, the hosting and the accounts are yours, and we will hand over the repository and the documentation at the end. We do not build things that only we can maintain.

How long does a website take?

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.

What happens after launch?

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.

Describe the problem, not the solution.

Tell us what is slow, manual or falling through the cracks. Working out what should be built is the part we are good at — and often the answer is smaller than you expect.

  • Tell us what software you already use — it usually decides the approach.
  • Describe the process as it happens today, including the messy parts.
  • We normally reply within one business day.
