Design and build
Made for your business rather than adapted from a template someone else is also using.

What it costs to have us build it.
Six packages, priced by what the site has to do rather than by page count. Every figure below is a build fee paid to DOODLESAVE INC. The monthly cost of running the site — hosting, database, domain, payment processing — is billed to you directly by those providers at cost, and is set out in full here.
Included in the price
Design, build, testing, launch, three rounds of revisions, and thirty days of support after the site goes live.
Billed to you by the provider
Hosting, database, domain renewal, payment gateway fees and any third-party subscription. We set them up in your name and never mark them up.
Six packages
Ranges reflect scope, not uncertainty.
The figure lands where it lands once we agree what is being built. Prices exclude applicable taxes.

Introductory rates, held until 31 December 2026. Quotes already issued are honoured in full regardless of any later change. If a project does not fit one of the six packages, we will scope and quote it rather than push it into the nearest box.
In every project, at no extra cost
These are not upgrades. A site without them is not finished.
Built for phones first
Tested on real screen sizes, because that is where most of your visitors will arrive.
Security setup
HTTPS, sensible defaults, and a firewall in front where the project calls for one.
Search fundamentals
Structure, speed and metadata so search engines can read the site properly from day one.
Analytics
Configured and explained, so you can see which pages actually produce enquiries.
Three revision rounds
Consolidated feedback at design stage, once during the build and again before launch. One round on the one-page tier. Further rounds are priced below.
Accounts in your name
Domain, hosting and gateway registered to your company. You own everything from the first day.
Thirty days of support
Anything broken after launch is fixed at no charge for the first month.
Add-ons
Priced separately so you are never paying for something you did not need.

How payment works
One rule for each kind of build, written into every quote and agreement.
01
Websites: 75% to start
Payable on signature, before any work begins. It holds your slot in the schedule and is non-refundable once work has started.
02
Apps and software: 70% to start
Mobile apps and custom software take a 70% advance. Larger builds are split into phases, and each phase is invoiced the same way: 70% before it starts, the balance when it is delivered.
03
The balance before launch
The remaining 25% or 30% is due once you have reviewed the finished work on a private staging address, before it goes live on your domain or is handed over. Thirty days of free support starts at launch.
04
Purchase orders by arrangement
Established businesses that buy through purchase orders can pay against a PO instead of an advance. Work starts once we hold a valid PO for the full value, and each invoice is paid on the terms agreed in writing.
05
Ownership transfers on final payment
Copyright in the design and code passes to you once the balance is settled. The accounts were always in your name.
Where and when to pay
Nothing is ever charged on this website.
There is no checkout here and no card form anywhere on this site. Each stage above is invoiced by email, and the invoice carries the payment details and the due date.
An invoice by email
A PDF invoice with the stage, the amount, applicable taxes, the due date and the account details to pay into. One invoice per stage — no standing charges.
Direct bank transfer
The usual method for both markets. Bank details appear on the invoice itself, never in a separate message.
Interac e-Transfer
Sent to the address printed on your invoice. Convenient for the smaller packages and the advance.
Care plans
Billed at the start of each month and cancellable with thirty days' notice. No automatic renewal you have to hunt for.
One safety note. We will never ask for card details by email, phone or message, and we will never send new bank details mid-project. If you receive something that claims otherwise, call +1 (647) 548-7522 before paying anything.
Not included in these figures
So nothing arrives as a surprise later.
- Running costs — hosting, database, domain renewal and delivery network, billed to you at cost by the providers. Figures are on the what you need to know page.
- Payment processing fees — a percentage of each sale, charged by your gateway, not by us.
- Stock photography and font licences — bought in your name where a project needs them.
- Advertising and ongoing content — campaign spend, posts and social management are separate engagements.
- Applicable taxes — GST or HST, added at invoice.
Build times assume content, approvals and third-party account details arrive when needed. Delays in those areas move the timeline, not the price.
