Step 1: A reply within 2 hours
Ashish or the team answers on WhatsApp or by email, usually with a few questions about your scope.
Step 2: A call, if you want one
Weekdays between 8am and 12pm Eastern, on a WhatsApp or video call.
Step 3: A free quote within 24 hours
Scope, timeline and either a fixed CAD price or your hourly rate, excluding GST/HST, in writing.
Step 4: You decide, no obligation
If you go ahead, fixed-scope work keeps one price once the scope is agreed, and hourly rates are agreed in writing first. You can pay in CAD or USD by local bank transfer to our Canadian bank account.
Overview
Fixes and upkeep are CAD 30–60 an hour. A new site, a WordPress rebuild or a headless Next.js build gets one CAD figure once the scope is agreed, and it doesn't move afterwards. Ashish has priced 200+ projects worldwide since 2017 and still scopes each website himself. Six months of bug fixes follow every launch, and we set up the .ca, hosting and logins in your name.

Quick answer
Can a team in India build and look after my Canadian business website?
Yes. Codingclave builds from Lucknow and has no office or phone line in Canada. You deal with Ashish Sharma and the developers on your project over WhatsApp and email, with live calls 8am to 12pm Eastern on weekdays, and a 24/7 response for emergencies on live systems. The price is set in CAD once the scope is agreed. You pay in CAD or USD by bank transfer to our Canadian account: 40% at the start, 40% at a mid-project milestone written into the scope (working pages on staging, for example) and 20% at launch. The code and IP pass to you with that last payment.
- Good fit: a new business site, a WordPress rebuild, or a site another developer walked away from
- Cheaper elsewhere: a hosted builder, for one location and a few pages
- You talk to the people doing the work; there is no sales desk
- At launch you hold the .ca, hosting and admin logins; the code follows with the final payment

Builder, freelancer, studio or a remote team: which suits you?
Pick the route before you pick the firm. A hosted builder (Shopify, Squarespace, Wix, WordPress.com) does the job when you run one location, need a few pages, have nothing to connect and are happy editing it yourself; spend the savings on photos and copy. Pay for a built site when the builder blocks something you need: booking rules it can't express, several editors, a French version, or pages that still load on a weak phone signal.
| Route | Suits | What it costs | What you hold | Watch for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hosted builder (Shopify, Squarespace, Wix, WordPress.com) | One location, a few pages, an owner who edits | A monthly plan. Selling products? See the Shopify store cost guide | The account, tied to that platform | Leaving usually means rebuilding the design |
| Freelancer | A defined job, one person to deal with | Job Bank's national median for employed web developers is CAD 38.46 an hour; freelancers set their own rates | Whatever the contract says; check who opened the hosting | A holiday, illness or new job stops the work |
| Canadian studio | Large budgets, workshops, brand work | Parachute Design lists builds from CAD 25,000, most projects CAD 35,000–60,000. BridgeWeb gives about 3,000–6,000 for 5–10 pages, currency not stated | Usually everything, per the contract | Minimum budgets, and what happens when included aftercare ends |
| Remote team (Codingclave, Lucknow) | Owners happy to work over WhatsApp and email | A fixed CAD price once the scope is agreed; fixes CAD 30–60 an hour | The .ca and hosting in your name, which we recommend and set up; code and IP on final payment | An 8 to 12½ hour gap depending on your province, and no office to visit |
Weighing two common bases? WordPress vs Webflow shows where each one wins.

If you already have a site: fix, maintain, rebuild on WordPress or move to Next.js
If your WordPress site has slowed down, runs on a theme nobody updates, or was built by a developer who's stopped answering, start with an audit rather than a rebuild. We can take over sites other people built. The audit recovers access, lists every plugin with its last update and licence holder, checks the PHP version and the backups, and ends in a written fix list. Send the URL and you'll hear, free and within a day, what the audit covers and what it costs.
| What you're seeing | Likely route | How it's priced |
|---|---|---|
| Locked out of the admin, or the previous developer has gone | Recover access, then a written audit | Audit quoted once scoped; fixes by the hour |
| Plugin or PHP warnings, broken forms, a hacked page | Fix in place, tested on a staging copy first | CAD 30–60 an hour |
| Slow on phones, a heavy page builder, an abandoned theme | Rebuild on WordPress with a lighter theme | A fixed CAD price once the scope is agreed |
| Content changes daily, several editors, speed matters for search | Headless: Next.js front end, Sanity for editing | Quoted once the scope is agreed |
| Cart, checkout or product problems | See e-commerce development | Priced on that page |
| Member logins, a client portal or an internal workflow | See custom software | Priced on that page |
Rebuilds lose rankings when old URLs aren't redirected; the migration checklist walks through that, and WordPress vs a custom website helps you pick the base.
Website maintenance, month to month. Once the six months of bug fixes end, updates and small changes are billed at CAD 30–60 an hour for the time used. For comparison, Little Dragon in Toronto lists care tiers with 30 minutes of support a month on its first two tiers, and unused time doesn't roll over.

WordPress development and fixes for Canadian businesses
Hourly WordPress fixes
A contact form that stopped sending, a white screen after an update, a plugin conflict, a menu that breaks on phones. Each is billed at CAD 30–60 an hour and fixed on a staging copy before it touches the live site.
Plugin, theme and PHP upgrades
Moving an older install to a current PHP version usually breaks one or two plugins first. We find which ones on staging, replace or patch them, and only then switch the live server.
Speed work on page-builder sites
Heavy page builders, oversized images and a dozen plugins loading on every page are the usual causes. Sometimes trimming is enough; sometimes only a rebuild on a lighter theme will fix it, and you hear which before any hours are spent.
WooCommerce
Stores and checkout work sit on the e-commerce development page.
English and French on one install
A multilingual plugin can carry both languages with paired URLs and a switcher. We set up the structure and can deliver the French copy too (see the Quebec section below).

Register the .ca yourself, and keep every login
For the domain this is more than good practice. Under CIRA's Canadian Presence Requirements, only the individuals and entities CIRA lists, Canadian citizens among them, may register and hold a .ca, and they do it through a CIRA-certified registrar. Codingclave is an Indian LLP, so you register your .ca and give us access where the work needs it. We recommend the same for every other account, and set each one up in your name.
Before launch day, check each of these is yours:
7 points to check
- The domain, at a CIRA-certified registrar.
- Hosting, billed to your own card.
- The CMS administrator account; ask for our access to be removed at handover if we're not staying on.
- Google Analytics and Search Console, owned by you, with user access for us.
- Sanity, Stripe and any booking or email tools.
- The code repository, transferred with the final payment.
- A redirect map from every old URL to its new address, live before the DNS changes.
If a project ends badly, with any firm, you still hold the domain, the hosting and the customer list.

Working with a team on India Standard Time
India is 8 to 12½ hours ahead of Canada, less for Atlantic Canada and more for Saskatchewan, Alberta and BC; the widget shows where the call window lands in your province, including the 1 November 2026 change in BC, Alberta and Manitoba.
| Where you are | Until 31 Oct 2026, and again from 14 Mar 2027Until 31 Oct | 1 Nov 2026 – 13 Mar 2027From 1 Nov |
|---|---|---|
| St. John's (Newfoundland) | 9:30am– | 9:30am– |
| Halifax (Atlantic) | 9am– | 9am– |
| Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal (Eastern) | 8am– | 8am– |
| Winnipeg (Manitoba) | 7am– | 8am– |
| Regina, Saskatoon (Saskatchewan) | 6am– | 7am– |
| Calgary, Edmonton (Alberta) | 6am– | 7am– |
| Vancouver, Surrey (British Columbia) | 5am– | 6am– |
| Lucknow, India (our team, IST) | 5:30pm– | 6:30pm– |
Day to day, the gap works like an overnight shift. Feedback you leave on staging in your afternoon reaches Lucknow in the small hours, so small changes can be waiting when you next look. Bigger changes get an estimate in hours before anyone starts, so you know which list a request is on. Calls are for decisions; detail goes in writing, which leaves you a record.

Our web projects, and the stack under each
Look at the stack column: it decides who can edit a site later and what it costs to keep running. These are real projects from outside Canada, listed without outcome figures.
| Project | Where | Built with | Closest Canadian use |
|---|---|---|---|
| One shared template behind the sites of 20+ Uttar Pradesh government polytechnics | India | WordPress and PHP: one shared template with custom plugins | Franchises and multi-location brands: one design, separate local pages |
| Membership and publishing platform for the European Society of Medicine (ESMED) | Europe | WordPress and PHP | Associations and members-only content |
| Dubai Digital Xchange Summit website | UAE | Next.js with Sanity CMS (the client has since moved the site) | Event sites the organizers edit without a developer |
| Healthcare portal with online booking for Dr. Akash Dubey | India | WordPress and PHP, custom theme | Clinics, salons and tutors taking appointments online |
| Online pharmacy store for Anand Medico Chemist | India | WooCommerce | Stores: see e-commerce development |
| Correct Prices price-comparison web app | India | React and Node | Web apps: see custom software |
Ask about any of them on WhatsApp, and Ashish will explain why that stack was picked and whether he would pick it for your site.

Seven questions to put to any web firm before you sign
On Clutch's Canadian list, sponsored and featured firms come first, and Clutch says it may earn a fee for some placements, so position tells you little. Ask every firm on your shortlist the same seven questions. Our answers are in the third column.
| Ask | Why it matters | Our answer |
|---|---|---|
| Who does the work, and from where? | Some firms sell from a Canadian number and build elsewhere | Ashish scopes it and the Lucknow team builds it, with no middleman |
| What is your minimum project? | Clutch-listed firms serving Canada state minimums from USD 1,000+ to USD 75,000+ | A single fix can go on the hourly rate, CAD 30–60, so you needn't buy a project first |
| Is the price in CAD, with tax on its own line? | A USD quote moves with the exchange rate | CAD throughout; tax and payment are explained on the quote page |
| Whose name is the domain in? | Whoever holds it controls the site and any email on it | Yours (see the launch checklist above) |
| Which WCAG version goes in the contract? | "Accessible" means little without a version and level | The one you choose, written into scope (see the AODA section below) |
| How long does aftercare last? | Of the Toronto studios we checked, Parachute includes 60 days and Little Dragon a 30-day warranty on sites it builds and hosts | Six months of bug fixes, then hourly help if you want it |
| Where can I read your reviews on the platform itself? | Screenshots on a firm's own site can't be checked | 92 reviews averaging 4.9, readable on Google under our Lucknow profile, and Top Rated on Upwork with 100% Job Success Score |

Websites for gyms, salons, law firms, tutors, wedding planners, immigration consultants and realtors
The site underneath is the same; each trade needs one rule or feature on top. These are things we can build to order, not past projects.
Gyms and fitness studios
A class timetable members can filter, online membership sign-up, and recurring billing through your own Stripe account.
Salons and spas
Online booking that takes a deposit with the slot and shows your cancellation policy before the client pays.
Law firms
Your law society's marketing rules govern the copy, so the firm approves every page, and no results or client quotes go up without its sign-off.
Tutors and coaches
Booking against your real availability, payment taken when the session is booked, and email reminders.
Wedding planners
Galleries that stay quick on a phone, and an enquiry form that asks for the date, venue and guest count up front.
Immigration consultants
Your CICC licence number shown in the wording you confirm against the College's rules, with no outcome promises.
Realtors
CREA DDF listing feeds need your authorization as a member (your board can explain the steps); we connect the feed once access is granted.
Clinic and dental sites are covered in the clinic website and software cost guide, restaurants in the restaurant website cost guide.

Does Ontario’s AODA website rule apply to your business?
Only if you have 50 or more employees or are a designated public-sector organization, according to ontario.ca. Smaller firms still carry other duties, just not the website one. The table summarizes the province's pages as read on 16 October 2026.
| Who | Website duty | Reporting | Every size also must |
|---|---|---|---|
| Business or non-profit, 1–19 employees | None under the AODA website rule | No compliance report | Provide accessible formats on request, on time, and never charge more for them |
| Business or non-profit, 20–49 employees | None under the website rule | A compliance report every three years, next due 31 December 2026 | As above |
| Business or non-profit, 50+ employees | Public websites and content published after 1 January 2012 meet WCAG 2.0 Level AA, except live captions (1.2.4) and pre-recorded audio description (1.2.5); a multi-year accessibility plan is posted on the site | A compliance report every three years, next due 31 December 2026 | As above |
| Designated public-sector organization | WCAG 2.0 Level AA, with the same two exceptions | Set by the public-sector rules on ontario.ca | Provide accessible formats on request |
- The site owner carries the duty. Ontario puts it on the organization that controls the website, directly or through a contract, so hiring a developer doesn't move it off you.
- A business's intranets and extranets are exempt from WCAG 2.0, though alternate formats must still be provided on request.
- 2.1 or 2.2 is your call. The legal floor is WCAG 2.0 AA, but you can write 2.1 or the current WCAG 2.2 AA into the scope, and we can build and test to the level written there.
- An overlay widget isn't conformance. A toolbar script leaves the underlying markup as it was, so we don't sell one as a fix.
- Outside Ontario, check your province's rules before scoping.

Selling to Quebec, collecting emails or running analytics: what changes in the build
Three sets of rules reach into the build: Quebec's language rules, Canada's anti-spam law and Quebec's privacy law. You or your counsel decide how they apply, and we build to that decision.
A French version for Quebec customers
The OQLF's guide for businesses says commercial documentation must be at least in French whatever the medium, websites and social networks included. Another language may sit alongside if the French is at least equivalent and as easy to reach, and the duty falls on whoever publishes, even when someone else wrote the content.
We build the bilingual structure: separate language URLs, hreflang tags so search engines pair each page with its translation, and a switcher on every page. We also deliver the French copy, read line by line by a fluent French reviewer; a machine-translation widget never stands in for it.
Newsletter and contact forms
ISED's CASL guidance says each commercial email needs consent, sender details and an unsubscribe honoured within 10 business days, and implied consent from an enquiry lasts up to six months. So the newsletter opt-in gets its own unticked box, apart from the contact form, and the site logs when and where each person signed up.
Cookies and analytics for Quebec visitors
Law 25 added rules on technology that can identify, locate or profile a person, and McCarthy Tétrault's analysis explains how they reach cookies. We can keep analytics and ad tags off until a visitor opts in, the cautious setting; your counsel makes the call.
Your privacy notice
Say plainly that form data is handled by a team in India. The cross-border rules, PIPEDA and Law 25's assessment before data leaves Quebec, are set out on our developer-hiring page rather than repeated here.
Hosting region
Canadian regions exist if you want your data kept in Canada: AWS, for one, runs Canada (Central) and Canada West (Calgary). It's your choice, not our default; a Canadian region can cost more than the nearest US one, so the options are priced side by side.
Pricing in CAD
Prices in CAD
Every website price is fixed once the scope is agreed and shown before GST/HST. Pick WordPress if you'll edit it yourself on a proven theme; pick a custom design if you need your own look, or a booking or enquiry flow a theme can't handle.

After the first 40%, work starts on a staging copy you can open on your phone at any point.
Content goes in
Your text and photos are loaded; the French version comes from our side once a fluent French reviewer has checked it.
Mid-project milestone review
The second 40% falls due at the milestone named in your scope, often working pages on staging. Before launch we can test accessibility and speed against the level in the scope.
DNS switch, logins and the final 20%
The final 20% covers the DNS switch, redirects, and handover of logins and code. Six months of bug fixes follow, then hourly help if you want it.

How we put this page together
Researched and drafted with AI assistance on 16 October 2026 from the sources below, then reviewed by Ashish Sharma, who prices these builds, before publishing. Third-party figures and rules are as those sources showed them that day; the Law 25 cookie point relies on McCarthy Tétrault's analysis. The only Codingclave price stated here is the CAD 30–60 hourly rate.
