Web Development Websites engineered to convert.
Custom sites on WordPress, Astro, Next.js, or Shopify — fast, SEO-ready, and designed around the action you want visitors to take. From a single landing page to a full e-commerce build, hosted in your own account.
Eight one-time packages from $1,500 to $20,000 CAD — full menu at searchpod.com/websites, quoted before work starts. Don't like it? You don't pay.
What's included
Everything this service covers.
Custom design & build
Designed from scratch for your brand — never a template — on the platform that fits: WordPress, Astro, Next.js, or Shopify.
Conversion-first pages
Every page structured around one action: call, book, buy, or request a quote.
SEO-ready foundation
Clean semantic markup, metadata, schema, and sitemaps built in from day one — not bolted on later.
E-commerce storefronts
Shopify, headless, or fully custom stores with catalog, checkout, and conversion tooling dialed in.
Performance engineering
90+ PageSpeed scores as the standard — image optimization, minimal JavaScript, measured Core Web Vitals.
Your accounts, your keys
Launched on your own hosting and domain accounts — no monthly fee required. Prefer us to host? $25/mo, free on $1,000+ monthly plans.
How it works
Three steps, no mystery.
01
Scope & quote
Pages, features, and integrations scoped in a written proposal with an exact one-time price — before any work starts.
02
Design & build
Design approved first, then built and reviewed against real content on a staging link you can click.
03
Launch & measure
DNS, redirects, analytics, and tracking handled at launch; performance verified after.
What you get
Deliverables, not just activity.
A written proposal with one exact price
Every page, feature, and integration is listed with a fixed one-time price before any work starts — the number does not move unless the scope does.
A custom design you approve first
Your site is designed from scratch for your brand — never a template — and you sign off on the look before we build anything.
A private staging link
A real, clickable version of your new site you can open on any device and review before it goes live.
A fast, mobile-ready website
Built on Next.js — or Shopify for stores — so pages load quickly on any phone or computer.
An SEO-ready foundation
Clean code, metadata, sitemaps, and schema are built in from day one, so Google can find and understand your site from the start.
A full redirect map on redesigns
If we replace an old site, every old link points to the right new page, so the rankings you earned carry over.
Analytics and tracking set up at launch
You can see your visitors and the actions they take — calls, forms, orders — from the first day the site is live.
Everything in your name
The domain, the code, the design, and every account belong to you — if you ever leave, you take it all with you.
How a build runs, start to finish
Every build starts with a written proposal. It lists the pages, the features, and one exact price. You see the full cost before any work starts, and that price does not change unless you change the scope.
Design comes first. You approve how the site looks before we build a single page, so there are no surprises later. Then we build it and put it on a private staging link — a real, clickable version of your site you can open on your phone and share with your team.
You only say yes to launch when the site looks right and works right. At launch we handle the technical parts most people worry about: pointing your domain, setting up redirects so old links still work, and connecting analytics so you can see visitors from day one. After launch we check speed and fix anything that slipped.
You pay once for the build, and everything we make is yours.
How pricing works
Websites come in eight one-time packages, from Launch at $1,500 for a landing page up to Enterprise builds starting at $20,000 — the full menu with what each size includes is at searchpod.com/websites. The most-shown sizes: Starter at $2,500 for 5 pages, Growth at $5,000 for up to 15 pages, Advanced at $7,500 for up to 25, and Premium at $10,000 for a full transformation. Bigger builds get a custom proposal — and if you don't like your new site, you don't pay. Each one is priced once and quoted before work starts — no hourly billing, no meter running.
What moves the number is simple: how many pages you need, and what those pages have to do. A five-page site costs less than a twenty-page site. A site that just needs to explain your business costs less than one with online booking, a store, or tools your customers log into. Connecting outside systems — payments, a CRM, booking software — adds work, so it adds cost.
A 'from' price here is a real floor, not a teaser. If your project fits the smallest scope, that is what you pay. If it needs more, you see the exact number in your proposal before you commit to anything. You never find out the price after the work is done.
What happens after launch
A new website is not finished the day it goes live — it just stops being our project and starts being your asset.
Right after launch we verify the site is fast, that Google can find every page, and that your tracking counts the actions that matter: calls, forms, orders. If we replaced an old site, we watch your traffic to make sure the rankings you earned carried over through the redirects.
If you want help after that, there is a simple care plan: hosting, security updates, and a monthly bank of small content edits — new photos, price changes, a fresh page. It is month to month and you can cancel anytime, and the site keeps working without it because you own everything.
Most owners pair a new site with search or ads work, because a fast site converts more of the visitors those services bring in.

Web Development questions, answered straight
Website pricing is public: eight one-time packages from $1,500 to $20,000 CAD, with the full menu at searchpod.com/websites and custom quotes above that. Every package includes technical SEO, and if you don't like your new site, you don't pay. Every build is quoted exactly before work starts — billed once, no surprises.
Yes — most projects are replacements of an underperforming site. We keep your URLs and rankings intact with a full redirect map, so the SEO you've earned carries over to the new build.
No. Everything monthly is month-to-month and you can cancel anytime. If you're not satisfied in your first 30 days, you don't pay. One-time projects are scoped and quoted before any work starts.
Yes. The domain, the design, the code, and every account are set up in your name. Nothing is locked to us and nothing is held back. If you ever want to move to another company, you take everything with you. There is no contract tying you to us after launch.
That depends on the build — larger sites include a content editor, so everyday changes like text, photos, and prices are simple, and we show you how before launch. If you would rather not touch it, the care plan covers hosting, updates, and a monthly bank of small edits, month to month, cancel anytime.
It depends on the size of the build. A single landing page is much quicker than a full custom site. Your written proposal includes a timeline next to the exact price, so you know both before work starts. You also review the finished site on a staging link before anything goes live.
Every site ships with the technical groundwork Google looks for — clean code, fast pages, metadata, sitemaps, and schema — built in from day one. That is a strong starting point, but showing up for competitive searches takes ongoing SEO work. That is a separate service, and many owners pair it with a new build.
