Philippine web design pricing sits substantially lower than North American rates due to lower labor costs, but you're paying for developer time in the same global frameworks. A static brochure site built on WordPress runs ₱15,000–₱50,000 depending on page count and whether you use a pre-built theme or light customization. Custom business sites with original design, contact forms, and basic SEO setup fall in the ₱80,000–₱300,000 range. Full e-commerce builds on WooCommerce or Shopify start around ₱100,000 and climb to ₱500,000+ if you need inventory systems, payment gateway integration beyond PayPal, or multi-language support. Filipino agencies often quote lower upfront costs but watch the scope creep. Revisions, content entry, and hosting may be billed separately where Canadian agencies bundle them. Hosting in the Philippines typically adds ₱3,000–₱10,000 annually. If your audience is primarily in North America or Europe, you'll want CDN configuration or offshore hosting, which raises costs but keeps load times under 2 seconds. Freelance developers on Upwork or local platforms charge ₱500–₱2,500 per hour. Agencies bill ₱40,000–₱150,000 for a standard 5-page site, which includes design mockups, two revision rounds, and basic on-page SEO. Enterprise projects with custom CMS, API integrations, or member portals easily exceed ₱1,000,000. At Ottawa SEO, we see clients outsource design to the Philippines then bring the site to us for technical SEO and Core Web Vitals cleanup. The cost advantage is real, but you often inherit bloated themes, unoptimized images, and poor schema markup. If you're hiring offshore, specify performance benchmarks upfront: max 1.5 MB page weight, Lighthouse score above 85, and mobile-first indexing compliance. Budget an extra 15–20% for post-launch optimization unless the agency explicitly delivers production-ready code. The cheapest quote rarely accounts for what Google actually ranks.
