How much does a website cost in Burnaby?
The numbers first, then the thing that makes Burnaby different: it is a city of four downtowns, and that changes what a local website has to do.
The short answer: Burnaby pays standard Metro Vancouver rates: $5,000 to $20,000 at agencies, $300 to $1,500 for freelancers, $15 to $50 a month forever on builders. We build Burnaby businesses their website for $499 to $999 one time, with the photoshoot at your business from $699 and no monthly fees. The full market comparison is in the price guide; this page is about what is specific to Burnaby.
A city of four downtowns
Burnaby does not have one centre, it has four: Metrotown, Brentwood, Lougheed and Edmonds, and a quarter million people spread between them, projected to reach 314,000 by 2031. It also carries the second highest share of immigrants in Metro Vancouver, which means a constant stream of residents who are new to the city and choosing their regular spots from scratch. Nobody walks all four town centres to compare. They search, read, and pick. In a city built like this, the search result is the storefront.
Standing one door from Metropolis
Here is the Burnaby version of a problem every independent knows: the biggest mall in BC sits in Metrotown, and the chains inside it come with marketing departments. The independents that thrive around it, the Heights cafés, the Kingsway barbers, the Edmonds tailors and tutors, win on being better and being findable. The first one is your work. The second one is a small website doing its job: prices visible, hours true, photos real, reviews out front. For food businesses the case is measurable: 77 percent of diners check a restaurant online before visiting and 93 percent read menus online, which we unpacked in the café guide.
