Sample concept, not a client project
Kettleby Plumbing & Heating

The businesses in our samples are fictional.
A website you can edit yourself
Change a phone number, post a notice, swap a photo, without emailing us. That’s what a business website should do, and it’s what we build.
Yours to edit, yours to keep
We set the site up so you can change text, images and pages in an editor you can use yourself.
We walk you through it at handover. If you’d rather not touch it, the changes can be covered by a care plan.
After final payment you own the custom code we write for you. Third-party and open-source parts stay under their own licences.
If this sounds like you
- Your site is five or more years old and you’ve stopped touching it.
- You pay someone every time the hours change.
- You’re on Wix or Squarespace and it no longer does what you need.
- You’ve never had a site and your customers keep asking for a link.
What’s in “from $3,900”
A business website of 5 to 10 pages, built so you can edit the text and images yourself, working properly on phones, with the technical basics of SEO done (page titles, structure, speed, sitemap).
Prices in CAD, before applicable taxes.
What moves the price
- More than 10 pages, or pages with a lot of custom layout.
- Booking, quote or application forms that do more than send an email.
- Writing, photography or a logo. We use what you give us.
- Connecting to other systems (that’s an integration).
- Moving a large old site and keeping its address structure.
Why not Wix or Squarespace?
Sometimes that’s the right call. If you need five pages and you’re happy to build them yourself on a weekend, a template can do it for a modest yearly fee, and we’ll tell you so.
It stops working when you need something custom: a booking flow that matches how you actually work, a form that feeds another system, or pages that load fast on a bad connection. It’s also harder to take with you if you ever want to leave. That’s when a custom build starts to make sense.
Here’s how we’d approach one
A sample concept: a business website for a fictional Winnipeg plumbing company. Service pages the owner can edit, and a booking request form that emails the shop.
After launch
For 30 days we fix defects in work we delivered, at no charge. After that, you can ask us for changes at $120/h, or put the site on a care plan from $90/mo and get hours of changes, backups and monitoring built in.
What we need from you
Your text and images, or a decision to have us work with what you have. A list of the pages you think you need. Access to your domain, if you have one. Someone who can answer questions within a few days. Delays on your side move the schedule.
