The questions worth answering before you start.

A standard one-page website starts at $499 CAD. Fixed base pricing runs from 1 through 15 pages. 16+ pages are custom scoped.

No. The first page is $499 CAD. Additional standard pages use lower incremental rates:

• Pages 2–5: +$275 each
• Pages 6–10: +$260 each
• Pages 11–15: +$240 each

A standard five-page site has a base price of $1,599 CAD.

For a standard business website, page count is a practical way to show the base project size before scoping begins. Advanced functionality is separated because two five-page websites can require very different technical work.

That's a custom project. Leafline uses 15 pages as the top of the automatic public ladder—not as a technical limit.

Not automatically. Ecommerce, booking, memberships, portals, CMS collections, databases, integrations, advanced forms and calculators are scoped when required.

The project scope should separate the base website price, advanced requirements, Managed Hosting & Care and third-party costs where applicable. Domains, payment processing, premium software and unusually high infrastructure usage may create separate external costs.

A page is a distinct website route with its own main purpose and content structure. Home, About, Services, Pricing and Contact would normally be five pages.

No. One route can contain many sections. A one-page site can include a hero, services, about, process, FAQ and contact section and still count as one page.

That's normal. Tell Leafline what customers need to find and what you want the site to accomplish. The page structure can be worked out during scoping.

No. Enough pages to make the information easy to understand. No extra pages just to make the website look bigger.

Not automatically. Dynamic records such as posts, products, portfolio entries, listings and team profiles are usually handled through CMS or database architecture and scoped separately.

Yes. Additional pages and functionality can be added as new project work. A significant expansion may also affect ongoing Managed Hosting & Care.

Yes. Standard builds include responsive desktop, tablet and mobile implementation. Mobile is not sold as a separate upgrade.

Yes. Redesigns are scoped around what the new site needs—not simply the number of pages on the old one.

They include basic on-page and technical SEO implementation where applicable: titles, meta descriptions, heading hierarchy, descriptive URLs, internal links, alt-text implementation, indexability and sitemap configuration where supported.

That is a foundation, not a guaranteed ranking or ongoing SEO campaign.

Yes. Basic inquiry/contact forms can be included within an approved scope. Conditional logic, multi-step workflows, large file submissions, database writes and custom calculations may require separate scoping.

You remain responsible for accurate business facts: services, prices, contact details, policies, credentials, hours and product information. Leafline may organize, edit or create website copy when that work is included in the project scope.

Leafline can identify what is missing. Depending on the project, that may mean using client-provided assets, licensed stock, newly created design assets or separately scoped asset production. Paid external assets should be approved before they become project expenses.

Yes, when scoped for the project. Those systems add technical work and often more ongoing maintenance responsibility, so they're not automatically included in standard page pricing.

Leafline-managed websites continue under Managed Hosting & Care after launch.

Standard care starts at $55 CAD/month. The final amount depends on the finished Leafline project and the website's ongoing complexity.

Within the approved scope: managed hosting, investigation of ordinary failures, maintenance of existing approved Leafline functionality, platform/configuration upkeep where applicable, support for existing forms/integrations, reasonable backup/restore administration where supported and ordinary hosting-related incident response.

Exact infrastructure capabilities depend on the platform used.

No. It maintains the approved website. New pages, redesigns, new functionality, integrations, ecommerce additions and content production are separate work.

Yes, if a paid expansion materially changes the website's value or ongoing technical responsibility. The new care amount is confirmed as part of that expansion.

Not automatically. Domains, payment processing, premium SaaS, paid APIs, premium plugins/services and unusually high storage, bandwidth or database use may remain separate.

Whenever practical, yes: the business should own and control its own domain. Leafline can help configure it without becoming the domain owner.

Not automatically. Purchase and renewal costs are separate unless an approved written scope says otherwise.

After required project payments are completed, the client receives rights to the client-specific final deliverables created for the project, subject to platform limits and third-party licensing.

Hosting platforms, licensed fonts, premium software, plugins, stock media, external services and platform technology may remain governed by their own terms.

No. Client-supplied logos, photos, existing copy, trademarks, product images and proprietary documents remain client materials. The client is responsible for having the rights required to use them.

Leafline's direction is to preserve portability where technically possible. Actual migration options depend on the platform and technology used because some systems are more portable than others.

1. Start — Tell Leafline about the business and the website.

2. Scope — Confirm pages, functionality, content requirements, pricing and ongoing care.

3. Build — Create the site according to the approved scope.

4. Review — Check content, design, functionality and factual accuracy.

5. Launch — Complete final QA, domain connection and publication.

6. Care — Continue with Managed Hosting & Care for Leafline-managed sites.

A revision changes work already included. A scope change adds or materially changes what Leafline is being asked to build.

Changing wording or replacing an image on an approved page is usually a revision. Adding another page, ecommerce, booking, a portal or a new integration is a scope change and may change the project price.

Accurate business information and timely factual review. Depending on the project, Leafline may also need logos, photos, pricing, approved policies, domain cooperation and access to required third-party services.

You don't need to know the technical architecture.
