Questions, answered before you have to ask twice.
Everything you need to know about working with Arete — pricing, timelines, process, and what happens after launch.
Getting Started & Pricing
Every project is scoped around your goals rather than a fixed package, so pricing varies with complexity, integrations, and content volume. Tell us about your project on the quote form and we'll give you a clear estimate within one business day.
Yes, projects begin with a deposit that secures your spot on our production calendar, with the remaining balance split across project milestones. Your account manager will walk through the exact schedule during onboarding.
You get a full team — strategist, designer, developer, and SEO specialist — instead of one person wearing every hat. That means faster turnaround and built-in quality review, backed by 1,000+ shipped projects since 2007.
Absolutely. Requesting a quote is a no-obligation conversation about your project — we'll ask a few questions and give honest guidance on scope and cost, even if that means recommending a smaller starting point.
Yes, larger projects are typically split across milestone-based payments rather than one lump sum, so cost lines up with delivered progress.
Process & Timelines
Most standard business websites launch in 4–8 weeks from kickoff. Larger builds with custom functionality or ecommerce catalogs typically run 10–16 weeks.
We move through discovery, design, development, and QA, with review checkpoints at each stage so you're never surprised by the next phase.
We need your input at key milestones — content, brand direction, and design approval — but day-to-day production is handled by our team.
Yes — while our offices are based in Toronto and Ottawa, we work with B2B clients across Canada and the US remotely, using structured check-ins and shared project tools.
Brand assets, any existing content, and access to your current domain/hosting if applicable. We'll send a simple onboarding checklist after your deposit.
Services
We primarily build on WordPress and WooCommerce. For dedicated Shopify or Shopify Plus builds, our sister site Ecommerce Development Pros specializes in that platform.
Both. Every site we build is structured with SEO fundamentals from the start, and we also offer ongoing SEO and paid media as standalone engagements.
Yes, branding is a core service and pairs naturally with a new website — logo, visual identity, and messaging can be developed alongside your build.
Very likely — we've built for Immigration & Legal, Professional Services, Home Improvement, Health & Medical, Ecommerce, and more.
Yes, we run Google and Meta ad campaigns designed to fill your pipeline with qualified leads, measured against pipeline and revenue rather than clicks.
Yes, we handle platform migrations — including content, SEO redirects, and catalog data — to minimize disruption to traffic and rankings.
Support & Post-Launch
You'll get a walkthrough of your new site, training on content tools, and a defined support window for post-launch fixes.
Yes, every site is built on a content management system so your team can update text, images, and blog posts without a developer.
Reach out to our support line and we'll triage the issue promptly. Clients on a maintenance plan receive proactive monitoring.
Yes, covering updates, security monitoring, backups, and small content changes, so your site stays fast and secure.
