Pricing

Websites From $250. Care From $29 a Month.

Flowmatix is a Canadian web design and development studio in Brampton, Ontario. A professional small-business website starts at $250 CAD — hand-built, not a template — and every project is quoted as a fixed price before a single line of code is written.

How much does a website cost?

A professional website from Flowmatix costs $250 CAD for a one-to-three page Starter Site, $750 for a full business website, and $1,500 for an e-commerce store. Custom web applications start at $5,000 and AI automation engagements at $10,000. All prices are one-time fees in Canadian dollars, quoted fixed up front — no hourly billing. Keeping the site online and looked after afterwards is a care plan at $29, $89 or $189 a month — which is also what brings the build price down from $690 to $250.

Each level exists because it does something the one below it does not. That difference is printed on every card — so you can pick the smallest one that actually covers you.

Monthly care plans

Keep It Online, Found and Growing — From $29 a Month.

A website is not furniture. Certificates expire, frameworks get security patches, hosts go down at 2am, and Google quietly reshuffles who it shows. A care plan is someone whose job that is. Below each item is what the same thing costs if you go and buy it yourself — so you can see exactly what you are and are not paying for.

Live

Your site stays online, secure and yours.

$29CAD / month

Bought separately: $63/mo · you keep $408 a year

The floor: everything a live website genuinely needs to stay up, secure and reachable — and nothing you would not use.

Best for: Brochure sites that rarely change

  • Managed hosting, SSL & global CDN$20
  • Professional email on your domain — up to 5 addresses$9
  • 24/7 uptime monitoring with alerts$9
  • Weekly off-site backups, 30-day history$10
  • Monthly security & framework patching$15
  • Email support, answered within 2 business days

No content changes. Add a Dev Block or move up to Found.

Found

Being online is not the same as being found.

$89CAD / month

Bought separately: $213/mo · you keep $1,488 a year

Live keeps the lights on. Found puts something new in front of Google every month — a published page, profile activity, and a report that says whether it worked.

Best for: Local businesses competing for “near me” searches

Everything in Live (6 items)

  • One SEO page or article, written and published$75
  • Monthly SEO & performance report$30
  • Google Business Profile posts — 2 per month$20

Growing

Four new pages a month, every month.

$189CAD / month

Bought separately: $503/mo · you keep $3,768 a year

Found publishes one page a month. Growing publishes four, then tracks which of them actually turned into enquiries — and tells you what to do next quarter.

Best for: Businesses where the website is the sales channel

Need actual development? Buy a Dev Block.

No plan bundles development hours, and that is on purpose — an hour buried in a $89 subscription is an hour nobody can afford to do properly. Instead: 2 hours for $190, valid 90 days, booked whenever you need it. Available to care plan members. Ad-hoc work without a plan is $95/hour.

  • No contract and no setup fee. Cancel any time, effective at the end of the month.
  • You own your domain and your code. Leave whenever you like and we help you move.
  • No plan includes development hours. Need work done? A 2-hour Dev Block is $190, valid 90 days.
  • Plans cover sites Flowmatix built. Taking over an existing site starts with a $150 audit.
  • Email on your domain is professional forwarding into an inbox you already use — not a second mailbox to check.
  • Invoiced monthly by email. No card is stored on this website.

Cheap Price. Not Cheap Work.

The same studio that builds $250 starter sites also designs, ships, and operates its own software products in production — an iOS app with subscription billing, a full web platform, and an admin operations console. You are hiring the engineer who runs live systems, not a reseller filling in a template.

Web Design Pricing — Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a website cost?

A basic professional website from Flowmatix starts at $250 CAD as a one-time fee. That covers one to three custom pages, mobile-responsive design, a working contact form, SEO basics, and hosting setup. Larger business websites start at $750, and online stores start at $1,500. Every quote is fixed before work begins.

Who is the cheapest web designer near me?

Flowmatix builds professional websites starting at $250 CAD — among the lowest starting prices for custom (non-template) web design in the Greater Toronto Area. We are based in Brampton, Ontario and work with clients in Mississauga, Toronto, Caledon, Vaughan and Oakville in person, and across Canada and the United States remotely.

Is a $250 website any good?

Yes, for its purpose. The $250 Starter Site is a real hand-built website — not a drag-and-drop template — with responsive design, a working contact form, SEO basics, and SSL. It is deliberately scoped to one to three pages so small businesses can get online credibly and fast, then expand later without rebuilding.

What is the difference between the $250 and $750 website?

The $250 Starter Site is one to three pages with your brand applied to a proven layout, SEO basics, and one round of revisions — you supply the words. The $750 Business Website is up to eight pages on a design system built only for you, with the copy written for you, full on-page SEO and analytics, a CMS so you can edit content yourself, and three rounds of revisions. The Starter Site makes you findable; the Business Website is built to bring in leads.

How much does website maintenance cost?

Flowmatix care plans cost $29, $89 or $189 CAD per month. The $29 Live plan covers managed hosting, SSL, professional email on your domain, uptime monitoring, weekly backups and monthly security patching — about $63 of services bought separately. The $89 Found plan adds an SEO page written and published every month, a monthly SEO and performance report, Google Business Profile posts and rank tracking. The $189 Growing plan publishes four pages a month instead of one and adds conversion tracking with monthly recommendations.

Are the monthly plans required?

No, but they change the build price. A Starter Site is $250 with any care plan, or $690 on its own. That is not a penalty — it is the actual trade. The build price is set near cost because the plan is where Flowmatix makes its money, so a client taking no plan pays what the build genuinely costs to produce. You own the code either way and can host and maintain the site anywhere.

Do I need my own domain and hosting?

You buy and own your domain — it costs about $20 per year from any registrar and we will walk you through it, or connect one you already have. Hosting is included in every care plan from $29 per month, or deploy to your own host at no extra cost since you own the code.

Do the plans include development hours?

Deliberately not. An hour of included labour at these prices inverts the ladder — the dearer plan ends up earning less per hour than the cheapest one, and the studio quietly runs out of capacity to serve anybody well. Everything in a plan is either fixed infrastructure, maintenance batched across every client at once, or content drafted and reviewed rather than written from scratch. When you need actual development, a two-hour Dev Block is $190 and stays valid for 90 days. Without a plan, ad-hoc work is $95 an hour.

Does the care plan include business email?

Yes. Every plan includes professional email on your own domain — up to five addresses like hello@yourbusiness.ca — forwarded into the inbox you already use. There is no second mailbox to check and no per-user licence to buy. If you want full hosted mailboxes with their own storage and calendar, we set up Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 in your own account and you pay them directly.

How do I pay Flowmatix?

By invoice. Nothing is charged on this website — there is no checkout and no card form. Once the scope is agreed you receive an invoice by email with the payment options on it: e-transfer, bank transfer, or card if you prefer. Projects are 50 percent deposit and the balance on launch. Care plans are invoiced monthly and can be cancelled any time.

How long does it take to build a website?

A $250 Starter Site goes live in five to seven business days. A full business website takes two to three weeks, an e-commerce store three to five weeks, and custom web applications six to twelve weeks. Timelines start once we have your content, logo, and approval on the design direction.

Do you work with businesses outside Canada?

Yes. Flowmatix is based in Brampton, Ontario and works with clients across Canada and the United States entirely remotely, with in-person meetings available across the Greater Toronto Area. Projects run over email and a shared project link where you can review progress at any time.

Can I upgrade a Starter Site later?

Yes. Starter Sites are built on the same modern stack as every Flowmatix project, so adding pages, a blog, online booking, or a store later is an extension rather than a rebuild. Extra pages cost $75 each, and the amount you paid for the Starter Site is credited toward a larger package within twelve months.
