Fixed-Price WordPress Sites by FunkPd. Fast, No Lock-In

Fixed-Price WordPress Website Packages in Canada

Nolan runs FunkPd as a one-man shop. No bullshit. Each build has a clear fixed price; that covers the full job, start to finish. If you need one or two small extras, we just do it. If it turns into a bigger job, it becomes a new package. We get it, things change, we don’t punish that. The hourly rate only kicks in after launch for fixes, tweaks, or add-ons. Never during a build. $120/hr for normal work, $150/hr for e-commerce.

For Not for
Owners who want a clean WordPress site they control. Subscription builders and meeting-heavy projects.
Budget under $150 CAD? Use a DIY builder like Squarespace.

What You’ll Get

  • A WordPress site that loads quick on phone and desktop.
  • Full ownership: domain, hosting, admin, and code. No lock-in.
  • Logins set with the right roles (owner / editor).
  • Plugin list and simple “how-to” runbook so you can edit safely.

How We Build (straightforward)

  1. Plan, goal, pages, deadline, who approves.
  2. Outline, simple layout and content gaps.
  3. Build, WordPress, clean templates, your copy and photos.
  4. Speed pass, trim bloat; make sure it’s snappy on mobile.
  5. Checks, Google can read it; forms send; old links redirect.
  6. Launch, take off the “private” flag, hand over everything.

Scope & Changes

Request What happens Note
“Add a bunch of pages” We move you to the next package Small one-offs are fine; if it turns into 4-5 pages, it’s a new package.
“Make booking / complex form flows” Re-scope to Detailed/Pro Simple contact forms are included; custom flows are a new job.
“Make it in two languages” Re-scope to Detailed/Pro Extra language = new work (menus, pages, messages).

Defect vs change: A defect is something we agreed on that doesn’t work; fixed free within 30 days. A change is a new ask; quoted as new work.

Aftercare: $120 CAD/hr (most work), $150 CAD/hr (e-commerce). Hands-on-keyboard time only. Book by email or Slack. Minimum bill = 30 minutes.

You do. Domain, hosting, WordPress admin, and code are in your name.

It loads quick on phone and desktop. We keep pages light and tight.

Why WordPress?
You can edit it yourself, hire anyone, and you keep control.
