How much a trucking company website costs in Canada.
Builder, freelancer, studio or agency: what each one really costs a carrier, what moves the price, and our own prices in plain numbers.
The short answer
A trucking company website in Canada costs anywhere from a monthly builder fee you pay to do it yourself, to a few thousand dollars or more for a custom site from an agency. What moves the price is how many pages you need, whether the quote and driver forms are built to fit your office, whether someone designs it from scratch, and who looks after it once it is live.
The four ways to get one are below, with what each really costs you. At the end are Boreal Lab Studio’s own prices, since we build these sites.
Doing it yourself on a website builder
Wix, Squarespace and similar builders charge a monthly or yearly plan fee, plus your domain and any paid add-ons. Check each builder’s current pricing page, because plans and prices change often.
The real cost is your time. A carrier site needs a rate request that sends to the right inbox, a driver application, clear lanes and equipment, and photos that load fast on a phone. Doing that well on a template usually takes days, not hours, and owners often stop at a page with a phone number and a general contact form.
Hiring a freelancer
Freelancers price by the project or by the hour, and the range is wide. Ask whether the price includes the forms, hosting, your domain in your name, and changes after launch. A low build price with no one to call when the quote form stops sending is not cheap for a carrier.
Hiring a small studio
A studio gives you a designer and a builder who handle the whole site and usually host and maintain it after launch. Prices are higher than most freelancers and lower than agencies. The value is in a site designed around how your dispatch and hiring actually work, and a monthly plan so you never have to touch it.
Hiring an agency
Agencies quote by proposal and usually bundle strategy, branding, writing, photography and ongoing marketing. That fits a large fleet with a marketing budget. For a carrier with a handful of trucks, most of that budget goes to work you do not need.
What changes the price
- Pages. One strong page is enough for many owner-operators. A fleet with several services, terminals and a hiring program needs more.
- Forms. A general contact form is simple. A rate request that asks the lane, freight and ready date, and a driver application with licence class and experience, take more work and are worth it.
- Design. A standard layout costs less than a site designed from scratch around your trucks, colours and lanes.
- Photos. Using your own photos is free. A photo shoot of the fleet is a separate cost.
- Care after launch. Hosting, security updates, backups and small edits are either a monthly fee or your own time.
- French. Carriers serving Quebec may want a French version, which adds writing and pages.
