Complete turnkey solution
A one-page website costs less than a 10-page site. More pages mean more design and content work.
A unique, tailor-made design costs more than a template. All Saftal Design websites are custom-built to match your brand identity.
Online booking, admin dashboard, client portal, multi-language — each feature adds development time.
At Saftal Design, content writing is included. Most Canadian competitors charge an extra $500 to $2,000 for copywriting.
Basic technical SEO is included in all our plans. Advanced SEO strategy is available as an add-on.
Hosting alone at $19/month or with maintenance at $29/month. Some Canadian agencies charge $150-$400/month.
