Web Design & Website Care
A website built for your business, and a team that keeps it running
We design and build your site from scratch, then host it, secure it and fix it when something breaks. From $2,500 to build, from $45 a month to look after. You own the site, always.
Monday-Friday, 7:00 AM - 5:00 PM

One-Time Build
Custom website build, three sizes
Custom-coded, mobile-friendly, and search-ready the day it launches. Three build sizes; the final price scales with page count, content help, and integrations.
Starter
A small site with content you already have
- Up to 3 pages
- Built from the text and photos you already have; we shape and proofread them
- Online booking can be added, quoted separately
Example: Neal's HVAC
Quote this sizeStandard
The typical small-business site
Everything in Starter, plus
- Up to 8 pages
- We help write and organize the content
- One integration set up for you, such as online booking or a newsletter signup. The booking or newsletter service's own fees are yours
Example: Embrun Total Fitness
Quote this sizeExtended
A larger site, or one that runs something
Everything in Standard, plus
- 9 or more pages, or any size with online sales, a member area, location pages, or several integrations
Example: cinntech.com
Quote this sizeIncluded in every build
- Custom design, no templates
- Hand-coded for speed and security, with no plugins to go out of date (built on Next.js, if you want the technical name)
- Set up so Google and AI assistants like ChatGPT understand your business: your hours, location, services, and answers to the questions customers actually ask
- Google's free search and visitor reports connected and emailed to you (Search Console and Analytics)
- Google Business Profile set up or cleaned up: categories, hours, services and your new site linked, so you show up on Maps
- Contact form that lands in your inbox, with spam protection
- Looks right on phones first, loads fast, and works with screen readers
- Your site is yours: any developer can host it
AI assistant
Add-onAn Axel-style assistant scoped and trained on your services, added at build time. Ongoing usage and tuning is included in Care Plus and Managed, or $35/month on Care.
Every price is a starting point for that size; the final build price scales with page count, content help, and integrations. SEO, Search Console, and Analytics are set up once at build; they are deliverables, not a monthly fee. Every site needs a Site Shield care plan to go live.
Website Care Plans
Site Shield
Every plan includes the hosting itself. Your site runs on a global edge network, not one server in one data centre, with security and backups of every change included in every tier. Pick a tier by how much content work and how many moving parts your site has. Site Shield is only available for websites we build; if your current site is WordPress or another platform, it moves to a CinnTech build first.
Care
Your site is looked after.
For sites that rarely change. Changes are billed hourly, or add 30 minutes a month for $25.
Care Plus
Occasional changes, plus the assistant.
For sites that change now and then and want the AI assistant.
Managed
Regular changes, more moving parts.
For sites with regular changes and integrations to keep running.
| What's included | Care | Care Plus | Managed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hosting, the security padlock (SSL) and your domain settings, all looked after | |||
| We get an alert if your site goes down | |||
| Every change is saved, so we can put the site back to an earlier version in minutes | |||
| Security updates applied for you | |||
| A firewall and bot blocking in front of your site | |||
| We fix it when it breaks | |||
| Content changes included (doesn't roll over) | None, or +$25/mo for 30 min | 30 min/month | 1 hr/month |
| AI assistant usage and ongoing tuning | +$35/mo add-on | ||
| Keeping connected tools working (booking, online store, member sign-ups) | +$25/mo each | +$25/mo each | 2 included, then $25/mo each |
| Change requests started within (business hours) | 2 business days | 1 business day | Same business day |
Breakage means something that worked stops working: we fix that on every tier, included. A change means you want something different: that uses your monthly allowance or is billed at $105/hour in 30-minute increments (30-minute minimum). Content allowances don't roll over. The Content time add-on is limited to one per site. New pages, redesigns, and feature builds are quoted separately as project work.
All prices in CAD, plus HST. Site Shield is a 12-month term, then month to month with 30 days' notice. If you ever leave, we hand over the complete site, code included, once outstanding invoices are settled.
Add-ons
AI assistant
$35/month

Content time
$25/month
30 minutes a month of changes to existing pages, for Care. One per site, doesn't stack; more is $105/hour.
Integration maintenance
$25/month per integration

AI assistant build
$500 one-time
Added at build time or later
You own your site
The design, content, and code are yours, and any developer can host them. Moving to different hosting is normal setup work for them, not a rebuild. Wix and Squarespace are rentals: there is no site to hand over.
How it compares
Who carries the responsibility
Most website comparisons are about price. The question that matters for a small business is who is on the hook when something needs doing.
| Responsibility | CinnTech Site Shield | DIY WordPress | Managed WordPress hosting | Wix / Squarespace |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Who patches it | We do | You: core, theme, and every plugin | The host patches core and PHP. Plugins are still yours | The platform |
| Who notices when it goes down | Our monitoring, which alerts us | Your customers, then you | The host, for server outages. A broken page is on you | The platform, for outages on their side |
| Who fixes it | We do, included in every tier | You, or a freelancer you find | Host support for server issues. Site problems are yours | Their support, within what the template allows |
| If it breaks overnight or on a weekend | Our monitoring alerts us. A site that is down gets our attention as soon as we can; smaller problems are fixed the next business day | It waits until you notice and find help | Server issue: host support. Plugin conflict: you | Their support queue |
| If it gets defaced | We roll back to the last good deployment and close the hole | You restore it, if you have a backup | You restore from the host's backup or open a ticket | Rare on the platform. Content recovery is still yours |
| Can you take the site with you | Yes. The code is yours; any developer can host it with normal setup work | Yes, it's WordPress | Yes, it's WordPress | No. The site stays on their platform; you can export some content |
An honest DIY WordPress stack (hosting, a security plugin, a backup plugin, an update service) lands around $40-50 a month plus the owner's own hours. The comparison that matters is who carries the responsibility.
