North Star is a remote-first web team serving businesses across Canada. One crew handles the design, the build, the Canadian hosting, and the monthly care that keeps your site fast and secure, with published pricing and no agency runaround. Whether you are in Halifax, Winnipeg, Prince George, or Grande Prairie, the process is the same: a free scope call, a fixed-fee build quote in writing, and a care plan from $149 per month.

"We put the CAN in CANT." Est 2016, Smithers BC.

Open live demoMost agencies hand you a launch and a goodbye. We treat launch as the halfway point: the same people who design and build your site also host it, edit it, and keep it patched.
Layout, typography, and messaging are shaped around the person you need to convince, not around a template. You approve a design preview before a line of code is written.
WordPress for content-heavy sites, Shopify for stores, or a fully custom build when the job calls for it. Fast, accessible, mobile-first, with SEO fundamentals handled during the build.
Managed hosting with SSL, server hardening, and daily backups, billed in Canadian dollars. Full details live on our hosting and care page.
Care plans include content edits, so a new hire photo or a price change is a quick email, not a mini project. Your CMS is also set up so your own team can publish.
Core, plugin, and theme updates are applied on a staging copy, tested, then pushed live. Uptime is monitored around the clock, and you get a monthly report of what was done.
We publish our care plan rates, we quote builds as fixed fees, and our contracts are written to be read. If we think you do not need something, we say so.
Like everything else we sell, the numbers are public. Founding rates apply to anyone signing before December 1, 2026 and stay locked for the life of the original term. Build projects are quoted separately as a fixed fee once we have scoped your project on a free call, so you always see the full number before work begins.

We publish the numbers we can publish. Ongoing care plans are fixed: Tier 1 is $149 per month, Tier 2 is $349 per month, and Tier 3 is $649 per month, with founding rates of $127, $297, and $552 for anyone signing before December 1, 2026. The build itself is scoped as a fixed fee after a free call, because a five page brochure site and a full online store are very different projects. You get a written number before any work starts, and it does not move unless the scope does.
Yes. We work with businesses everywhere in Canada, fully remote. Design reviews happen over video calls, progress is shared on a private staging link, and contracts and billing are handled online in Canadian dollars. Our head office is in Prince George, BC, but nothing about the way we design, build, host, or care for websites requires us to be in the same city as you.
You do. Your domain, your content, your design files, and your source code are yours, and we put that in writing. If you host with us and later want to move, we hand over everything another developer would need to take the site on, with no exit fees and no hostage taking. We would rather keep clients through good work than through lock in.
A care plan is the monthly work that keeps a live website healthy: managed hosting, software and security updates, daily backups, uptime monitoring, and an amount of content edits that depends on the tier. Without that work, sites drift out of date and become easier to compromise. We explain the model in plain language in our care plans guide, and the full inclusions for each tier are published on our hosting and care page.
It depends on the scope and on how quickly content and feedback come back to us, which is why we confirm a timeline in writing at the scope call. As a general shape, a standard business site is measured in weeks and a larger e-commerce build takes longer. You approve a design preview before development starts and follow the build on a private staging link, so nothing at launch is a surprise.
Often, yes. We review the existing site first, because we only take over sites we can properly stand behind. If it is a fit, we migrate it to our Canadian hosting, bring the software and security up to date, and put it on a care plan. If a rebuild would serve you better than a takeover, we will say so and quote both options.
Book a free scope call and we will come back with a written fixed fee proposal, usually within two business days. No obligation, no pressure, anywhere in Canada. Prefer email first? Contact us here.
