Canadian therapists usually under-budget for a website in one of two ways: they buy a cheap template that never books consults, or they compare a one-time build to a managed membership as if they were the same product. This guide separates Kavana’s approved offers from general market chatter, so you can decide what to buy - and what you will still pay for after launch.

Kavana website pricing (approved CAD offers)

These figures are the current public offers used across website design for therapists and website services:

Offer Price (CAD) What it is
Managed Website $249/mo + $499 setup Custom-coded site (up to 10 pages), hosting, maintenance, SEO foundations, booking integration, up to 30 minutes of content help per month. 12-month initial term; then month-to-month. Optional yearly prepay: $2,748/year.
One-Time Website $2,995 one-time Custom-coded site (up to 10 pages) you own. Hosting and ongoing care are separate unless you add them.
Extra pages (managed) +$25/mo each Pages 11–13. 14+ pages or advanced directories: custom quote.
Website Care Plan $129/mo For owners who already have a site and want maintenance support.

Existing clients keep grandfathered rates. New quotes use the figures above. HST may apply at checkout.

What “website cost” really includes

A useful budget has three layers:

  1. Build - design, structure, clinician/service pages, forms, booking path.
  2. Run - hosting, domain, SSL, backups, dependency updates, small copy edits.
  3. Tools you already pay for - Jane, Ocean, Calendly, email, Zoom, payment processors.

Managed membership bundles build + run. One-time ownership pays build up front and leaves run (and tools) on your books unless you buy care.

External market estimates (not Kavana quotes)

Industry articles often quote wide ranges for Canadian small-business sites - from a few hundred dollars for a DIY template to five figures for a large custom build. Treat those as external market estimates, not a promise of what you will pay here. Always compare inclusions: custom code versus template, page count, booking work, accessibility effort, and who owns the code after payment.

Ownership, cancellation, and content responsibilities

  • On Managed Website, you get a professional site operated under the membership terms for the initial term, then month-to-month.
  • On One-Time Website, you own the custom build you paid for; you remain responsible for hosting and updates unless you add care.
  • Clinical accuracy, credentials, and advertising claims stay with the practice. We structure and edit for clarity within the included help minutes - we do not invent modalities or outcomes.

When to audit instead of rebuild

If you already have a URL, request a free therapy website video audit (custom five-minute review, delivered within one week). New practices without a site should book a free 20-minute call rather than force a URL into the audit form.
