Web Design in Toronto, Built by Hand
Samro Studios is a Montréal-based studio that builds custom, hand-coded websites and AI automations for Toronto businesses. We work remotely with founders, professional firms and service companies across the GTA, in English and French. Custom websites run $895 to $1,795, one time, or subscription plans start at $99 a month with the full build included, and you approve your finished site before it goes live. Love your site or pay nothing.
How much does a website cost in Toronto?
Toronto quotes swing from a few hundred dollars for a themed template to five figures for an agency retainer, which is why most owners have no idea what the right number is. Samro Studios prices one way for everyone: custom websites run $895 to $1,795, one time, depending on scope. Prefer to spread it out? Subscription plans start at $99 a month on a 12-month term, with the full custom build included. Samro Support comes either way, for the life of your site with us. No line items to argue over.
Tell us about your project and we get you a custom quote in just a few clicks. If your project is software rather than a website, the custom scoping tool at customquote.samrostudios.com handles it.
Who builds custom websites for Toronto businesses?
Toronto has more web agencies than any other city in Canada, and a large share of them ship the same handful of themes with a new logo dropped in. Samro Studios does the opposite: every site is written from scratch on a real stack, with no Wix, no Squarespace, no WordPress theme holding it together.
We are honest about geography. There is no Toronto office and no Toronto team. There is a Montréal studio that works with Toronto clients remotely, replies within one business day, and hands you a finished site you approve before it goes live.
Why do so many Toronto business websites look identical?
In a market this dense, the fastest path for a cheap agency is a template marketplace. That is why the King West agency, the Yonge Street clinic and the Bay Street advisory firm often end up on the same grid, the same stock hero, the same three-column feature row. It reads as generic to a buyer and it reads as generic to an AI assistant summarising your category.
- Speed is a differentiator here. Hand-written code with no plugin stack loads faster than a theme carrying features you never asked for.
- Specificity beats polish. Real service pages, real pricing logic and real proof outrank another round of adjectives.
- Structure gets you quoted. Clean headings, direct answers and valid structured data are what Google, ChatGPT and Perplexity actually pull from.
Does a Toronto company need a French version of its site?
If you sell into Québec, yes. Québec's Charter of the French language, updated by Bill 96, applies to commerce directed at Québec consumers, which catches plenty of Toronto ecommerce and B2B firms by surprise. We build both languages into the same codebase with a working toggle rather than bolting a translator on at the end.
Every Samro Studios build can ship bilingual. The French is Québec French written for a Québec reader, not machine output with accents.
What does Samro Studios build for Toronto companies?
Four things, all coded rather than assembled.
AI automations
The same kind of tooling we run ourselves: instant-quote flows, intake forms that qualify and route leads, and follow-up that fires without anyone remembering to send it.
Bilingual builds
English and Québec French in one codebase, with a real toggle, translated metadata and French URLs where it matters.
Samro Support
Included with every build, subscription or one-time, for the life of your site with us: security and daily backups with same-day fixes, unlimited changes in 24 to 48 hours, automatic Google review requests with replies written for you, monthly Google and AI visibility checks, a plain-English scoreboard, and a person who answers. Hosting is bundled into the price on a subscription, or a standard $20/mo add-on starting 30 days after payment on a one-time build.
Toronto web design: questions we get asked
Can you build my Toronto website if your studio is in Montréal?
Yes, and it is how most of our work runs. Discovery happens over a call, design review happens in your browser, and we reply within one business day. Toronto and Montréal share a time zone, so there is no scheduling gap to manage on either side.
How fast can a Toronto business get a new site live?
Two to three weeks for most builds. Week one is discovery and design, then development and QA. Nothing goes live until you press approve on your finished site. Love your site or pay nothing. Then we launch. Samro Support begins 30 days after launch.
Do you work with Toronto startups and professional firms?
Yes. Startups usually need a site that survives a pivot, and professional firms usually need one that survives a partner review. Both get hand-written code, a design you sign off on first, and an owner who can change copy without breaking anything.
Can you redesign my existing Toronto website instead of starting over?
Yes, and a redesign costs the same as a new build. We migrate your content, keep the pages that are already earning traffic, preserve your URLs so rankings survive the move, and rebuild the parts that are quietly costing you customers. The timeline is the same two to three weeks.
How do I get a price for a Toronto web design project?
Tell us about your project and we get you a custom quote in just a few clicks. If you would rather explain it in your own words, email dev@samrostudios.com and we reply within one business day.
