Why do prices vary this much?
Because you are paying for hours. Québec web professionals bill $80–250 per hour, and a website is dozens of hours: design, copywriting, revisions, integrations, project management. Every extra page, every language, every “can we move this section?” is billed time. That's not dishonesty — it's just what human hours cost.
An AI doesn't bill hours. You describe your business, the AI designs, writes, and ships the site, and changing your menu or your prices later is a sentence in a chat — not a change order. That's why the same website can cost $5,000 or $9/month, and why the people charging $5,000 rarely mention the second option.
The costs nobody puts in the quote
The build price is only the entry ticket. Hosting, SSL, maintenance and security updates typically add $50–200 per month with an agency. And the modification you'll want in three months — a new photo, a price change, a holiday-hours banner — comes back as billed hours. Over three years, a $4,000 website with $100/month of care costs $7,600.
With Xevoni, hosting, SSL, and the AI that makes your changes are all inside the monthly price — from $9/month. Whatever your business, the honest math is worth thirty seconds: that's what this calculator is for.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a website cost in Québec?
Published Québec prices in 2026: roughly $1,200–$3,500 with a freelancer and $3,000–$8,000 with an agency for a business website, up to $20,000+ for a custom online store, plus $50–200/month for hosting and maintenance. With Xevoni, the AI builds it for a monthly price from $9 — no build fee.
Why do agencies charge thousands of dollars?
Hourly rates of $80–250 times dozens of hours: design, writing, revisions, meetings, project management. The invoice reflects human time honestly — it just isn’t the only way to get a website anymore.
Are the maintenance costs really that high?
Hosting, SSL, updates and small changes typically run $50–200/month with an agency, and one-off modifications are billed by the hour. Budget the three-year total, not the build price.
Is the calculator really free?
Yes — free, no signup, no email. Use the numbers in any conversation, including with an agency. And no calculator replaces a firm quote: treat these ranges as the honest ballpark.
