Plans & pricing
Four packages. One price each. No surprises later.
Every price on this page is a fixed one-time build price in Canadian dollars, before HST. Hosting, calendar and payment accounts are opened in your name, so the small monthly running costs go straight to you and are never marked up.
The four packages
Plus HST. Half is due to start, half when the site goes live. The "from" price on Studio depends on which niche extras you need; the package builder shows the number before you send anything.

What each package includes
Scroll sideways on a phone. Every row is something the demos actually do today, not a roadmap item.
After launch
Care plans
Optional, month to month, cancel any time. Without a care plan the site keeps running on your own accounts; you just handle updates yourself or book time by the hour.
Founding clients
The first three builds are off
SolidSite Studio is new, and the first three businesses to sign help shape how it works. In return they pay less, get the same package and the same care, and can be as candid as they like. The discount comes off the build price, not the care plan.
Want an app?
The app option
Install banner (progressive web app)
Booking, Ordering and Studio sites can be added to a phone's home screen with your icon, open full-screen and work like an app. It uses the same site, so there is nothing extra to maintain and nothing to approve with Apple or Google.

Native app wrapper
If you later want to be in the App Store and Google Play, the site can be wrapped as a native app. That adds store accounts, review cycles and yearly updates, which is why it costs more and has a monthly part.
plus about /month for store accounts and updates. Estimate.

Questions people ask before they sign
What is not included in the price?
Photography, logo design, long copywriting and paid ads are not included; the sites are built around photos and words you already have, and we tidy them up. Running costs (hosting, calendar, text messages, card fees) are billed to you directly. HST is added to every price. Domain names are yours to buy, about $20 a year.
Who owns the website?
You do. The code, the domain, the hosting account, the calendar and the Stripe account are all in your name from day one. If you leave, everything stays with you; there is no export fee and no lock-in.
How long does it take?
The clock starts when the deposit is paid and your photos, price list and hours are in. Most delays are waiting on content, so there is a short checklist to gather it up front.
What happens if I stop the care plan?
Nothing breaks. The site keeps running on your own accounts. You stop getting monitoring, security updates, backups and the included edit time; you can book edits by the hour instead, or restart the plan later. Text reminders and card payments keep working as long as you keep paying those providers directly.
Is the price really fixed?
Yes for Showcase, Booking and Ordering. Studio is "from" because niche extras vary; you get a written number before any work starts, and it does not move unless you add scope. Extra work is billed at the hourly rate, agreed first.
What do I need to give you?
Your services or products with prices, your hours, a handful of photos, your logo if you have one, and a Google account so the calendar and the listing can be yours. Deposits need a bank e-Transfer address and, for cards, a Stripe account we set up together.
Can I start small and upgrade?
Yes. Showcase can become Booking or Ordering later; you pay the difference in package price plus the time to move content, quoted in advance. Booking or Ordering can add the Studio features the same way.
