WEBSITE PRICING · HALIFAX

A practical 2026 guide to landing pages, complete business websites and the choices that change the final price.

THE SHORT ANSWER

At Ninja Tuna, a focused landing page starts at $800. Complete website packages are $2,100, $2,600 and $4,500.

The right price depends on the number of pages, required functions and how much strategic support the project needs. Final scope is agreed before work begins.

Website quotes can feel confusing because two proposals may use the same words while covering very different work. One may be a template with your logo added. Another may include planning, copy direction, custom design, responsive development and training.

The useful question is not simply “What does a website cost?” It is “What is the smallest website that can do the job properly for this business?”

Four realistic starting points

FOCUSED OFFER

Landing page build

$800

One page for a single offer, launch, event, waitlist or campaign. It is a smaller-scope option rather than a replacement for a complete business website.

ESSENTIAL WEBSITE

Starter package

$2,100

A complete small-business website for a clear offer and a focused customer journey.

MORE ROOM TO EXPLAIN

Growth package

$2,600

For businesses that need more pages, services or content to help customers choose confidently.

BROADER SCOPE

Signature package

$4,500

For a larger website with more strategic support, content needs or required functions.

What changes the price?

Page count matters, but it is only one part of the quote. The final scope also depends on how much work is needed to organize the message, shape the content and build the functions customers need.

  • Content and messaging: Is the copy ready, or does the offer need to be clarified first?
  • Page structure: Does the business need one conversion path or several services and audiences?
  • Required functions: Forms, bookings, ecommerce and other features can change the build.
  • Migration: An established site may need careful redirects and SEO protection during a redesign.
  • Ongoing care: Hosting, updates, security and content support should be clear before launch.

INCLUDED IN EVERY PACKAGE

The page count changes. The care behind the build does not.

Custom design

Built around your offer and customers.

Responsive build

Designed to work across screen sizes.

Conversion path

A clear next step for the right visitor.

WordPress training

Confidence to manage the site after launch.

Every package includes a search-friendly structure. The exact level of metadata, internal linking, local SEO and broader search strategy depends on the package and agreed scope. No website build can guarantee a particular Google ranking.

DIY builder, independent designer or agency?

A DIY builder may suit a temporary idea when budget matters more than time. A focused independent designer can be a strong fit for a small business that needs professional planning and implementation without a large-agency structure. A full-service agency makes sense when the project needs a larger team or complex custom systems.

Ask every provider what the quote includes, who owns the website, what happens after launch and which ongoing costs sit outside the build.

What should a Halifax business choose?

Choose the smallest option that can explain the offer clearly, earn trust and give customers a useful next step. A landing page is enough for one focused campaign. A complete business with several services usually needs a complete website.
