Web design guide
Website Design in Thunder Bay
GetFavours builds custom websites for Thunder Bay and Northwestern Ontario businesses. Start with a single page from $249 one-time, or plan a larger site around bookings, quote requests or a menu. You keep the finished site files, your own domain and a plain-English guide to making edits.
Free 30-minute planning call. Domain and hosting costs are separate. Compare website options.
Start with what your customers need to do
A useful local business website makes the next step clear on a phone: call, request a quote, book an appointment or find your location. Start with that action, then choose the pages and features that support it.
For a trades business, that might mean services, areas served, project photos and a quote form. A salon might need service prices and a booking link. A restaurant might need a readable menu, current hours and directions. These are options to discuss when we scope your site.
We are based in Thunder Bay and work with businesses across Northwestern Ontario and Canada. On a free website call, we go through what you need and agree the exact price before the build.
You own it, you don't rent it
When the site is done, you get the finished site files and keep your own domain name. You can choose your host and move the files later. No GetFavours subscription is required to keep the site online; domain registration and hosting have their own costs.
Your logo, photos and text stay yours. Our reusable templates and code libraries remain GetFavours property, as set out in section 8 of our Terms. We confirm the scope, handover and any third-party costs with you.
Honest one-time pricing
Starter is a single-page site from $249 one-time, with click-to-call, a map and an editing guide. Business starts from $599 one-time for up to about five pages, online booking or a quote form, a photo gallery and basic SEO setup. Custom builds start from $1,200 one-time for a scope we work out together.
These are starting prices. The pages, content and integrations you need determine your quote. Domain registration, hosting and any third-party services are separate costs we discuss with you.
If you prefer us to host and handle updates, an optional care plan starts from $39 a month. You can also arrange your own hosting and make your own edits.
We set it up with you, then hand you the keys
We set the site up with you and walk through it together. Your handover includes the finished site files and a plain-English PDF guide for your site.
Use the guide to update text, hours, photos, prices and services yourself. For larger changes, you can return to us or use another developer. Tell us during planning who will maintain the site so we can discuss the right handover.
Your website project brief
A few notes help us price the right website. Bring these to your call or include them in your contact message:
- Your business: what you do, where you serve customers, and your current website address if you have one.
- The main action: should visitors call, book, ask for a quote or visit your location? Include any booking tool you already use.
- Pages and content: list the pages you need and any logo, photos, service details, prices or menu you already have.
- Your current setup: tell us whether you already have a domain and hosting, and who will update the site after launch.
- Budget and timing: share a budget range and any opening, event or target launch date so we can discuss a realistic scope.
You do not need a finished specification. We can work through the gaps together on the call.
