Clear answers.
No guesswork.
What to expect when you build, move and maintain your town’s website with Bluecore Media.
Pricing & getting started
How much does a website cost?
Packages start at $99/month. Your population and chosen features determine the estimate, with a maximum of $1,499 one-time setup and $250/month for the selectable website package. All figures are CAD before tax.
What is included in the setup?
Website design and configuration, the agreed core pages and content setup, a review before launch, and an introduction to making routine updates. Your proposal confirms the exact deliverables.
Are there any separate costs?
Domain registration, third-party software licences, payment-processing fees, substantial content migration and custom integrations can be separate. We identify and agree these costs before you commit. They are not silently added to your website package.
Is the online estimate a binding quote?
No. It is a starting point for your proposal. We review your requirements and confirm scope and any separately requested work before you proceed.
How long will it take?
Timing depends on the content, review process and features. We agree a schedule after reviewing your existing site and requirements, with clear opportunities for your team to review the work.
Do we have to choose every feature now?
No. Start with the tools you need today. We can discuss additions later and confirm any effect on your package before making changes.
Switching to Bluecore
Can we keep our domain name?
Yes. We can use your existing domain. We review who manages it and arrange the required changes with you.
Will our email still work?
We check your current email and domain settings before the move and plan to preserve existing email records. Moving email itself is a separate task if you want it.
What happens to our existing pages and documents?
We make a content plan with you: what to keep, update, archive or remove. The proposal states what migration is included and identifies any larger document-cleanup work.
Will our current website stay online?
We build and review the new website before switching over. We plan the launch with you to minimise disruption and check the important links and contact routes.
What do you need from us?
A main contact, your logo and brand files, access to the existing website and domain when needed, approved content and photos, and feedback at the agreed review stages. We’ll give you a straightforward checklist.
Support & everyday updates
Can our staff update the website?
Yes. We can provide WordPress editing access and show your team how to update routine content such as news, contacts and documents. The editing setup and training are confirmed in your proposal.
What does the monthly service cover?
Hosting, website maintenance and basic support are included. Your proposal spells out the support allowance, maintenance arrangements and any content assistance so your team knows what to expect.
Who do we contact for help?
Contact Bluecore Media at info@bluecoredesign.com. We agree support arrangements with you before launch. This is not an emergency-response or 24-hour alert service.
Can you make updates for us?
Yes. Tell us whether you want staff-managed updates, help from Bluecore, or a combination. We agree what is included and quote additional work before proceeding.
Do you offer accessibility support?
We consider readable text, contrast, keyboard navigation and clear page structure in the design. If your municipality requires a specific accessibility standard or formal audit, tell us at the outset so it can be scoped and tested.
Can the website include bookings and payments?
Yes, depending on the workflow and providers. The estimator includes options for booking requests, basic registration and a payment connection. We confirm the integration and any provider fees before building it.
What if we need to change or end the service?
We explain the service term, cancellation notice, ownership and handover arrangements in your proposal before you sign. Ask us to clarify anything your council needs for approval.
