Our team overlaps with Toronto business hours for calls and reviews, follows ISO 27001 and CMMI Level 3 processes, and keeps costs well below typical Toronto agency rates.
A clear process takes you from brief to a live, high-performing website.
Web development in Toronto starts with a discovery session held in Eastern Time. We learn about your business, customers and competitors, review your current website and analytics, and plan the sitemap, features, integrations and target search keywords. If you serve French-speaking customers, we plan the bilingual structure now. Within one to two weeks you receive a written scope, sitemap and fixed CAD quote, so budget and priorities are agreed early.
Our designers create wireframes for desktop and mobile, then full visual designs that reflect your brand and speak to Toronto buyers. Accessibility is designed in from the first draft, with compliant color contrast, readable type and clear focus states for keyboard users. You review clickable layouts of key pages and give feedback in one or two rounds over one to three weeks, ending with approved designs ready to build.
Developers turn approved designs into clean, secure, fast-loading code on WordPress, Laravel, Next.js or Shopify, depending on your needs. We set up a CMS your team can edit easily, including English and French versions where required, and connect your CRM, Stripe or Moneris payments, booking tools and email platforms with CASL-friendly consent capture on forms. You get a staging site and weekly updates to review progress as it happens.
We build in the technical foundations that help your website rank and serve every visitor. That covers meta titles and descriptions, schema markup, clean URLs, internal links, compressed images, Core Web Vitals tuning and hreflang tags for bilingual sites. Accessibility is checked against WCAG 2.2 AA, which covers the AODA requirements for Ontario organizations, with manual screen reader and keyboard testing alongside automated scans.
Our QA team tests every page across iPhone, Android, Windows and Mac devices and major browsers, checks forms, payments and integrations, and runs speed, accessibility and security scans. We configure Google Analytics 4 and Search Console, map 301 redirects if you are replacing an existing site, and schedule go-live at a quiet time for your business. You receive a launch checklist and test report confirming everything works.
After launch we run a recorded CMS training session in Eastern Time, showing your team how to edit pages, publish news or blog posts, manage French translations and handle form submissions. You receive written documentation, full admin access, hosting and domain details and all source code and design files. Handover typically takes a few days and leaves your team confident running the website day to day.
Our website care plans keep your site secure, fast and growing. We handle core and plugin updates, daily backups, uptime and speed monitoring, security patches and periodic accessibility rechecks, and add new pages, landing pages or features as your business evolves. You receive a monthly site health report, with support from a team that overlaps with Eastern Time business hours, so requests from Toronto move quickly.

Answers to the questions Toronto businesses ask before hiring a web development company: cost, accessibility, timelines and support.
Web development in Toronto with Webshark typically costs CAD 5,000 to 15,000 for a business website, CAD 15,000 to 45,000 for a custom corporate website, and from CAD 25,000 for web apps or ecommerce stores, well below typical Toronto agency prices. The main cost drivers are the number of page templates, bilingual English and French content, custom features such as portals or booking, integrations with CRM, payment or property listing systems, accessibility scope and catalogue size for ecommerce. We provide a fixed quote after discovery.
No, we do not have a physical office in Toronto. Our web development company works with Toronto and Canadian clients remotely from our Bengaluru headquarters and Mumbai office, with teams that overlap with Eastern Time business hours. Kick-off workshops, design reviews and training sessions happen over video, usually in the Toronto morning. Each project has a named project manager, shared staging links and a clear weekly update, so you always know where things stand.
Yes. We build websites to WCAG 2.2 AA, which covers the AODA requirement for Ontario organizations to meet WCAG 2.0 AA. That includes semantic HTML, alt text, captions guidance, keyboard navigation, visible focus states, accessible forms and sufficient color contrast. We test with automated tools and manually with screen readers. We can also audit an existing website, give you a prioritized list of issues and fix them, helping you meet AODA reporting obligations with confidence.
Yes. Web design is part of every website project for Toronto businesses. Our designers create custom, mobile-first layouts based on your brand, audience and competitors, rather than adapting generic templates. We produce wireframes and high-fidelity designs for key pages, test them as clickable prototypes and refine them with your feedback. Toronto clients in real estate, professional services and retail often need designs that build trust fast and turn visitors into enquiries, so we focus on clarity, speed and accessibility.
Yes. We build bilingual English and French websites with proper language switching, separate URLs for each language and hreflang tags, so Google shows the right version to each visitor. Your CMS manages translations side by side, and layouts are tested with longer French text. We can also translate forms, emails and metadata. This helps you reach customers across Canada, including Quebec, where French-language requirements under Bill 96 apply to many businesses.
Webshark offers Toronto-friendly hours, Canadian compliance know-how and a large experienced team at well below local agency rates. As a web development company in Canada we have delivered 580+ projects for 280+ active clients across 18+ countries over more than seven years, under ISO 27001 and CMMI Level 3 certified processes. Design, development, technical SEO foundations, accessibility and ongoing care sit under one roof, so you work with one accountable team and keep full ownership of your website.
Yes. We build iOS, Android and Flutter apps for Toronto businesses, often alongside a website so the brand, content and customer accounts stay consistent. Common combinations include an ecommerce store with a shopping app, a booking website with a client app, or a corporate site with a staff app. Apps follow a structured discovery, design and sprint-based process, with fixed CAD pricing. For costs, timelines and examples of what we build, see our app development Toronto page.
Yes. Before any redesign we crawl every URL, export rankings and traffic from Search Console and Analytics, and identify the pages that drive leads. Important URLs are kept or 301-redirected to their new equivalents, and we carry over titles, meta descriptions, headings, content and schema. If you are adding French pages, we add hreflang without disrupting existing English URLs. After launch we monitor crawl errors and key rankings for several weeks and fix issues quickly.
For web development we use React, Next.js, Angular, Node.js, Python, Java Spring Boot and .NET, alongside WordPress, Laravel and Shopify, hosted on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud. For Canadian clients we can host in Canadian cloud regions, such as Toronto or Montreal, to support data residency and fast local load times. Where a website needs a companion app, we add Flutter or React Native. We choose the stack that fits your goals, budget and in-house skills.
You do. All source code, designs, content, documentation and infrastructure scripts from your web development project belong to your business, and we transfer repositories, hosting and domain access at handover. We sign a mutual NDA before discovery starts and include IP assignment in every contract. Personal information collected through forms is handled under PIPEDA-aligned practices, with consent capture that supports CASL, and our ISO 27001 certified processes govern access to project data.
Yes. If you have continuous web work, you can hire dedicated developers on monthly contracts instead of paying per project. Teams range from one full-stack developer to a full squad with a project manager, designer and QA engineer. Your team overlaps with Eastern Time business hours, joins your stand-ups and works in your tools such as Jira, Slack or Teams. This suits Toronto agencies, SaaS companies and in-house marketing teams with steady demand. To compare options, visit our hire full-stack developers page.
Yes. Our website care plans cover security updates, daily backups, uptime and speed monitoring, content changes, accessibility rechecks and new features, with larger work quoted separately. Plans include agreed monthly hours and a site health report, so you can see what was updated and how the site is performing. Support requests are handled by a team that overlaps with Eastern Time business hours, so issues raised in Toronto are picked up during your working day.
