Toronto web design, from $499.

Websites start at $499 CAD. That's a real price, not a deposit or an hourly rate. What moves it is scope: how many pages you need, whether we're writing the copy from scratch, and whether you want extras like online booking, e-commerce, or several location pages. We put the final figure in writing before we start, and it doesn't change unless you ask for more.

48 hours, counted from the moment your content and payment are both in. Before that, we scope the project and agree on exactly what we're building. So if it takes you a week to gather your photos and text, the build still takes 48 hours from the moment they land.

You tell us what's off, and we fix it. Two rounds of revisions are included in every build: you review the site live, send your notes, and we work through them. There's also a 30-day post-launch warranty, so if anything breaks in the first month we repair it at no charge.

Because we started Webrivio after watching web designers charge small businesses thousands of dollars for very little in return. We're backed by a $3,000 Summer Company startup grant from the Province of Ontario, and we keep the studio small: no office, no account managers, no sales team. $499 is a real starting price, and you get a custom-designed site built around your business, not a template with your logo dropped into it.

Yes. We're based in Toronto and work right across the GTA: North York, Scarborough, Etobicoke, Mississauga, Brampton, Markham, Vaughan, and Richmond Hill. We're a service-area studio, so there's no office to visit; everything runs over email, phone, and video. We've built for businesses well outside the GTA too, as far away as BC.

It helps, but no. Real photos of your work, your team, and your shop almost always beat stock, even ones taken on a phone. If you don't have any, we'll design around type, layout, and your services, and leave clean slots you can drop real photos into later. What we won't do is pass off stock images as your work.

Yes. You don't need to show up with finished text. Send us rough notes on what you do, who you serve, what you charge, and what people always ask you, and we'll write and structure the page around it. You approve every word before it goes live. If you'd rather write it yourself, we'll edit it and tune the headlines and calls to action as we build.

That's a normal project for us, and often the fastest one, because the words and photos already exist. Send us the link and we'll tell you honestly what we'd change. Sometimes the answer is that your site is fine and only two pages are letting you down, and we'll say so rather than sell you a rebuild you don't need.

Completely. You own the code, the domain, and every account we set up: hosting, analytics, the domain registrar, all created in your name. There's no licence to keep paying, no platform holding your pages, and nothing stops working if you walk away from us. At handover you get the files and every login in one place, so any developer can take over after us. If you ever want to move the site somewhere else, tell us and we'll help you export it.

We hand over the code, the domain, and the logins, and we stay reachable at hello@webrivio.com if something breaks or you want a change. If you'd like us to keep hosting and maintaining the site we can, but it's optional and there's no lock-in. You can move it anywhere, any time.
