Read this first who this page is not for
This page is not for startups, brand projects, or people shopping agencies like a catalog.
This page is not for anyone chasing the cheapest bid.
This page is not for anyone who wants a vendor to own their domain, hosting, email, or logins.
This page is not for anyone who wants meetings, endless revisions, or open ended management.
If you are here to confirm scope, ownership, and real cost bands before you sign, keep reading.
If you are here out of curiosity, leave now.
Modern search is low traffic and pre filtered.
Fewer clicks does not mean a website failed.
It means the tire kickers never arrive.
The people who still arrive are closer to a decision.
Introduction straight facts on Winnipeg website costs
If you are a trade professional or contractor in Winnipeg planning a website for twenty twenty six, this page exists to prevent expensive mistakes.
This is not a quote generator.
This is a scope and ownership reality check based on rebuild work and failure patterns after bad handoffs.
Price ranges only matter when scope and control are written down.
If ownership, access, and post launch responsibility are vague, the range is meaningless.
Quick reference Winnipeg website cost ranges in United States dollars
Single page or landing site from five hundred fifty to two thousand two hundred and up
Small business sites with three to seven pages from one thousand three hundred to eight thousand six hundred and up
Ecommerce sites from three thousand seven hundred fifty to thirty two thousand two hundred fifty and up
Custom or enterprise systems from seven thousand five hundred to over one hundred thousand
FunkPd is one person.
Work is fixed price.
Ownership is yours from day one.
No retainers. No bundled hosting. No meeting loops.
Scope is locked before build work starts.
Use this page to verify a quote before you sign.
If you want the same verification done against your situation, use the contact form to confirm scope and ownership terms in writing.
Use this page in three passes. First confirm the correct cost band. Second confirm ownership and access. Third scan for red flags that predict rebuild work.
Pricing breakdowns what the ranges actually reflect
These ranges are updated for twenty twenty six using Winnipeg market quotes, national pricing guides, and rebuild patterns.
Final cost depends on scope, integrations, content readiness, and who controls the infrastructure after launch.
Do not anchor on the low number.
Anchor on written deliverables and control.
That is what decides whether you pay once or pay twice.
Primary cost drivers
- Page count. Each extra service or location page adds scope.
- Integrations. Booking, customer records, inventory, and payment logic raise complexity.
- Content readiness. Missing copy or photos slows delivery and increases cost.
- Ownership terms. Bundled hosting and vague support clauses hide long term markup.
| Build type | Low range | Common range | High range | What this usually includes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single page or landing | Five hundred fifty | Nine hundred fifty to one thousand three hundred | Two thousand two hundred and up | One page, contact form, images, basic search setup, mobile optimization |
| Small business site | One thousand three hundred | Two thousand seven hundred to five thousand four hundred | Eight thousand six hundred and up | Multiple pages, services, gallery, blog, admin access, basic analytics |
| Ecommerce | Three thousand seven hundred fifty | Eight thousand six hundred to twenty one thousand five hundred | Thirty two thousand two hundred fifty and up | Products, cart, checkout, payments, inventory handling, technical search setup |
| Custom or enterprise | Seven thousand five hundred | Sixteen thousand one hundred to fifty three thousand seven hundred fifty | Over one hundred thousand | Custom logic, integrations, dashboards, compliance, scalable architecture |
| Sector | Actual requirements | Typical market pricing | FunkPd fixed price range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trades and contractors | Clear contact flow, galleries, quote forms, maps, reviews | Four thousand three hundred to eight thousand six hundred | Around two thousand six hundred |
| Retail and stores | Product pages, checkout, policies, tracking, inventory logic | Eight thousand six hundred to twenty one thousand five hundred | Around ten thousand seven hundred fifty |
| Nonprofits | Accessibility, donations, events, clear navigation | Two thousand one hundred fifty to ten thousand seven hundred fifty | Two thousand one hundred fifty to five thousand four hundred |
| Technical platforms | Speed, security, integrations, dashboards | Sixteen thousand and up | Custom only |
Trade pricing is lower for mechanical reasons.
Trades usually need fewer integrations, fewer content cycles, and a tighter conversion path.
Most agency quotes inflate cost by overbuilding pages, stacking plugins, and selling management instead of ownership.
If a quote looks cheap, check what is missing. Hosting control, admin access, and post launch responsibility are often excluded or buried.
What makes a quote fair instead of dangerous
A fair quote is specific and boring.
It states what you get, what you own, what you control, and what happens after launch.
- Full admin access with no gatekeeping
- Domain, hosting, and email under your control
- Secure certificates included by default
- Clean page structure and clean URLs
- Fast load times on mobile and desktop
- Forms tested and backups confirmed
Watch vague phrases like managed hosting, ongoing optimization, or support packages.
Those often mean recurring fees, limited access, and slow fixes when something breaks.
Ownership and ongoing costs
Ownership means you control the domain, the hosting account, and the files.
One time costs like domains or software licenses should be written down.
Recurring charges must be explicit and cancellable without losing access.
If you cannot walk away with your site intact, you do not own it.
Red flags that predict bad outcomes
- Custom quote required with no baseline pricing
- Contact us for details instead of written scope
- Paid training to use your own site
- Short free support followed by high hourly rates
- No written deliverables list
- Bundled artificial intelligence tools or dashboards with opaque optimization and no clear data ownership
If you see these, stop.
A bad build is not a small mistake.
It becomes a rebuild with downtime, lost leads, and access fights.
Walking away early is cheaper.
Freelancers and marketplaces
Marketplaces can work for small one off tasks.
They fail most often on handoff and control.
Lost logins, missing domain name system access, and unfinished setups are common.
For trades that rely on consistent leads, fixed price scoped builds are usually safer.
You want a written scope, a clear handoff, and full access from day one.
Return on investment reality
Trades and contractors
A trade site does not need a thousand visitors.
It needs the right handful of people who call and book.
One or two jobs can cover the build.
After that, the site is an asset.
Ecommerce
Online stores live or die on load speed, product clarity, and checkout flow.
If the cart is slow or confusing, revenue leaks immediately.
Search versus ads
Search compounds slowly and lasts.
Ads stop the moment you stop paying.
Both can work, but only if your site owns the data, tracks leads, and does not break under load.
Conclusion shop smart not cheap
Confirm the cost band.
Demand ownership.
Lock scope in writing.
Avoid the traps that force rebuilds.
That is how you pay once.
