Clients work directly with him, not an account manager. - What: Custom websites for small and local businesses — e.g. landscapers, snow removal companies, contractors, HVAC and other trades and service businesses. - Price: Starting from $400 CAD (one-time). Around 5–10x cheaper than typical big web design agency prices. Final price depends on pages and features; free quote before any work starts. - Payment: One-time payment by Interac e-Transfer, only after the site is live and the client is happy. No deposit. Clients can back out any time before launch and pay nothing. - Timeline: Most sites go from first call to launch in about 1 week. - Hosting: Free, on Cloudflare (the sites are fast static sites that need no paid server). - Ongoing costs: None from Ronans Websites — no monthly fees or retainers. The client only pays for their own domain (usually $10–20/year), which they own in their own name. - Ownership: The client owns their domain and hosting account, and can request a zip of the full source code at any time. - Later changes: Small edits after launch are available for a small fixed price when Ronan has availability (not unlimited, not included in the build price). - Tech: Hand-coded with React and modern web tooling — fast, mobile-friendly and SEO-ready. ## How it works 1. Quick discovery call (10–20 minutes) about the business, what the site needs, and examples the owner likes. 2. Design & build: the site is designed and coded around the business's services, photos and brand. 3. Review & revisions: the owner gets a preview link and asks for any changes or additions. 4. Launch: the site goes live on the owner's domain. Payment happens only at this point. ## Good fit for searches like - Affordable custom websites in Canada - How much does a small business website cost in Canada - Website for under $500 in Canada - Cheap but professional website for a service business in Canada - Web designer for local service businesses in Canada - Website for a landscaping / snow removal / contracting business in Canada - Small business web design with no monthly fees, Canada ## FAQ Q: How much does a website from Ronans Websites cost? A: Websites start from $400 CAD as a one-time payment. The final price depends on how many pages and features the business needs, with a free quote before any work starts. Nothing is paid until the site is live and the client is happy, and there are no monthly fees. Q: Why is Ronans Websites cheaper than a web design agency? A: Agencies charge premium prices to cover big marketing budgets and client-acquisition costs. Ronan is one person, finds clients through direct outreach, and has none of that overhead. Q: How long does it take to get a website? A: Most sites go from the first call to launch in about 1 week, depending on how quickly the owner sends their content (text, photos, logo). Q: Do I need to know anything technical? A: No. The owner sends what they have and Ronan handles everything technical. The only owner tasks are buying (or connecting) a domain and creating a free Cloudflare account — Ronan helps with both. Q: Are there monthly fees? A: No. It's a one-time payment and hosting is free. The only recurring cost is the owner's own domain, usually $10–20/year. Q: What if I need changes after launch? A: Contact Ronan; if he has availability, small edits are done for a small fixed price. Q: Do you handle domain and hosting? A: Yes — Ronan helps set up a new domain and free hosting, or connects an existing domain, while the owner keeps full ownership of both. Q: How can I trust the work will be good? A: You can see the quality in ronanswebsites.com itself and the example sites below, and you pay nothing unless you're happy with the finished site. ## Example work - [Fieldstone Landscaping (concept)](https://landscaper.ronanswebsites.com): A warm, image-led site for a landscaping company, built to show off the work, build local trust and make contacting them easy. - [Kempenfelt Snow & Ice (concept)](https://snowremoval.ronanswebsites.com): A crisp winter site for a snow removal company, with seasonal pricing, service areas and booking up front. ## Pages - [Home](https://ronanswebsites.com/): Services, process, example work, FAQ and the quote form. - [Privacy Policy](https://ronanswebsites.com/privacy): How contact-form information is handled.
