Q: Do I actually need a website as a Winnipeg small business?

Yes. Even a simple website helps Winnipeg customers find you through Google. Without one, people often choose a competitor instead.

Q: How much should a basic small business website cost?

Most Winnipeg small business websites fall between $1,500 and $4,000 depending on features, content, and timeline. Anything significantly cheaper is usually DIY or low-quality.

Q: How long does a website take to build?

Once content is provided, a standard small business website typically takes around two weeks. Delays usually happen when content or scope changes mid-project.

Q: Should I DIY or hire a designer?

DIY works for simple sites, but hiring a professional ensures proper SEO, accessibility, structure, and performance, which saves time and prevents long-term issues.

Q: What’s the biggest mistake small businesses make?

Most small businesses design based on aesthetics first instead of strategy and SEO. Strategy, clarity, and structure should always come before visuals or animations.

Why Small Businesses in Winnipeg Struggle With Websites (And How to Fix It)

Start the right way

Most small business websites fail because they’re built backwards.People start with colours, themes, and logos… and only later realise the site doesn’t rank, doesn’t convert, and doesn’t actually help the business make money.

This a simple starter guide — written by a Winnipeg web designer who’s seen every rookie mistake under the sun — so you can build smarter from day one.

The Internet Lies. These Are the
Only 3 Things That Matter.

1. SEO First

If Google can’t find you, real people won’t.
You don’t need fancy animations. You need structure, keywords, and clarity.

If your site isn’t fast, clean, and finger-friendly, it’s toast.

3. Accessibility

Good for your users. Good for your SEO.
Also, it’s the law — but don’t worry, it’s not scary.
