Custom Website Design & Development

Although we are capable of working with various types of PHP frameworks, our Kitchener Waterloo website design company focuses on open source web development using WordPress.

WordPress is a very popular content management system, and we are often integrating platforms within each website to expand the capabilities of a typical WordPress install. Some of these extensions include WooCommerce, email marketing platforms like MailChimp, booking platforms and conference registrations, memberships and ticketing systems, Google Analytics, and search engine optimization. 

If you wish to integrate any third-party application to a website or have us custom-develop one for you, please contact us to discuss further.

This is always a tough question, because it depends on the scope of the project. At the end of the day, our hourly rate is $100/h + HST, and we quote our services based on the time we spend on the design and development of a site. A simple, static site with 2 pages will not be priced the same as a complex, E-Commerce site with 2 products.

To make things simpler for our clients, CryoDragon offers three tiers of WordPress web design packages that reflect how much time is spent customizing a typical business website:

• Frozen: Fully Customized Template-Based Website starting at $2,080 + $80/pg
• Arctic: Custom-Designed Theme from Framework starting at $4,400 + $100/pg
• Cryo: Completely Custom Theme with Competitor Research and Custom Artwork starting at $9,440 + $200/pg

Please note that the projected costs above do not consider any additional services such as E-Commerce integration, custom app development, membership and subscriptions, etc. Custom projects like these will be add-ons to the site build prices above.

Since each project is unique, we tailor each quote based on the project details and the needs of our clients. Please do connect with us to get a free, tailored estimate.

This depends on which web design package you choose! We price our packages based on the time it takes to build the core of each site, so we have an approximate timeframe for each package below:

• Frozen: about 4-6 weeks
• Arctic: about 6-8 weeks
• Cryo: about 10-12 weeks

Of course, if your website has a lot of features, if you request additional revisions, or if you need time putting together content, these timeframes will change.

Yes, we can certainly help your business get found on Google! We are experts in search engine optimization and have worked tirelessly to stay on top of all the latest web design standards and SEO trends so that our clients benefit from the best.

To be honest, we usually try not to fix websites but rather present a cost-effective solution to rebuild a website.

Although we are capable of fixing websites through website repairs, consider the cost of time invested by a web developer to analyze your website, understand the way it works, how it was built, and how everything was connected together. In some ways, it would be analogous to undoing a fully-cooked meal by someone else to find out where their recipe went wrong. Sometimes it is very obvious where the issue is, but other times the issue is a result of interconnected elements that you are not aware of. 

Likewise, fixing a website can be very simple if we can recognize the error right away, or take a very long time since each site is made up of so many files. You are more than welcome to ask us to review a website, but in the end, our recommendation almost always ends up being a new website design since it is more cost-effective and timely.

There are two ways we can approach a logo design project:

• Logo Vectorizaton: You already have an idea and a sketch to provide us with. You just need someone to help draw it out as a vector. These are quoted at $80/h + HST.
• New Logo Design: In this type of project, we have four different tiers ranging from the number of initial designs you want us to create: Classical (1), Fabled (2), Mythical (3), and Legendary (3-5). If you are fine with just a simple, single-layout logo with some revisions, the cost is $400 + HST. If you want several sketches and a fine-tuned process for a trademark-ready logo, the cost is $2,800 + HST.
