Your Google listing set up, and your pages written so Google quotes them correctly.
Your web address registered in your own account, in your name.

Four chairs or fewer, or a booking app with a flat fee? Keep the booking you have, and take this one. Under five chairs, owning the booking does not pay for itself on fees.

Free website sample

We move your customer list and your calendar across ourselves, from Fresha, Square, Jane, Jobber or whatever you pay now. Both run side by side for two weeks.

A bigger website, built from scratch and for a phone first.
Your own booking page. Customers see the times you are really open. Two can never take the same slot. Confirmations and reminders send themselves by email.
Your customer list lives on servers here in Canada. Ask for all of it any day and we send it within two business days.
Your services, hours and prices written so Google and its AI answers quote them correctly.
We use your real photos. We never make a picture of your room, your staff, your food or your work.
Your web address in your own account from day one. We make the changes to your prices and hours, inside your monthly plan, and we answer the same business day.

We need about 90 minutes of decisions from you: one call, one folder of photos, one hour at the reveal.

Typically 1 to 2 weeks · 30% to start · 30% when you approve the preview · 40% when it is live

Adding your own booking to the website is $1,500 more.

What this costs elsewhere

What other Ottawa studios charge.

Published prices, not estimates. We checked these in August 2026. They sit on the studios’ own pages, so you can check them too.

A template site, lightly customised

The cheapest end of the Ottawa market. A theme somebody else designed, filled in with your details.

$1,000–3,000

A custom website from a studio

What full-service Ottawa studios publish for design and build. Several put their floor at $5,000.

$5,000–15,000

A custom website with booking built in

We read nine Ottawa studios on their own pages in August 2026. Not one sells you a booking system. The ones that take appointments connect a calendar you rent from somebody else.

No published price

Ours is $8,500 with the booking built in, or $4,000 at the founding rate.

The three questions everyone asks.

Why are these prices low?

Because part of what we are paid is work we are allowed to show. The build is not smaller at the founding rate. What we ask back is written into the agreement before you pay anything.

What is the monthly plan for?

If we hold your customer list, it runs on a paid database in the Canadian region. That database is backed up every night, and we can go back seven days. That plan is $150 a month at the founding rate, or $1,800 a year. Without a customer list it is $99 a month, or $1,188 a year. Both cover hosting, your web address and security updates. You get an hour or two of changes a month. Neither plan goes up when you hire. We never take a cut of your bookings, and you can cancel with 30 days’ notice.

How long do these prices last?

Fifteen founding places, and 15 are open. The sixteenth business pays the printed price beside each build.

Or buy one piece.

You do not need a whole build to hire us. These three stand on their own, on your site or on one we made.

Google fix-ups from $750. CAD, plus HST.

Google and AI-answer fix-up$750–1,500 one-time
Where you show up on Google today, why, and the rewrite that gives Google and the AI assistants something correct to quote about you.
A matching set of photos$1,200–2,000 one-time
One matching set for the whole site. We edit and colour-match what you already have, so it looks shot on the same day.
We answer your Google reviews$300–500/mo
Every Google review answered, in English or in French, in your voice. You approve each one with a tap.

More than one location, or more than one calendar, is a bigger build, from $12,000. With one location and one calendar, you do not need it.

The guarantee

It solves your problem, or you don’t pay. You are the one who decides.

Your deposit is fully refundable through the first design reveal. If you do not like what you see, you say so and every dollar comes back. The balance is due when the site is live and doing its job. Everything becomes yours on the final payment. What we cannot promise, and nobody honest can, is a ranking on Google or a number of bookings.

The terms, in plain words.

Deposit fully refundable through the first design reveal

Balance due only when it’s live and working

You own the website files, the design, your web address and your customer list from final payment. Leave any month and take it all.

Two rounds of changes are included · anything broken in the first 30 days after launch, we fix free

The monthly plan is month to month · cancel with 30 days’ notice · no contract

30% to start · 30% when you approve it on a private preview link · 40% when it is live

All prices are in Canadian dollars, plus 13% Ontario HST, shown on its own line on every invoice

Your build price and your monthly plan never go up when you hire

No fee per stylist, per practitioner or per staff member · no cut of any booking, ever

Questions, answered plainly.

What are the payment terms?

Three payments. 30% to start, 30% when you have seen it on a private preview link and said yes, 40% when it is live. The first payment stays fully refundable through the first design reveal. On the final payment the files, the design, your web address and your customer list are yours. Two rounds of changes are included.

Does it cost more for a clinic?

The website is $4,500 to $6,000 for clinics, med spas and licensed practices. Those sites need more service pages, insurer and intake detail, and careful privacy wording. It is the scope that moves the price, never the profession.

What does it come to with tax?

The $8,500 build is $8,500 plus 13% Ontario HST, so $9,605. At the founding rate, $4,000 is $4,520. The $299 a month plan is $337.87 a month with tax. Every invoice shows the tax on its own line.

Do you guarantee rankings or bookings?

We don’t guarantee rankings. Be wary of anyone who does. What we put in writing is the term printed above this table, and you are the one who decides whether it was met.

Why is there a monthly plan on every build?

Because a website has to be hosted, watched, updated and backed up every week it is alive. Yes, that is a monthly bill, and no, it is not smaller than a booking app. What changes is this. It never goes up when you hire. Nobody takes a cut of your bookings. You can cancel with 30 days’ notice and take everything with you.

Can I buy just one piece?

Yes. Nothing here is a package you have to take whole. Where something needs another piece first, we print that beside the price: the phone answerer needs a booking system to book people into. We recommend the website and booking together, and we will say so if a smaller piece is the right one for you.
