Saskatchewan municipal website cost analysis

By Jim Rennie, LocalFound, Regina4 min read

A new municipal website in Saskatchewan costs from under $2,000[1] to nearly $14,000[2][3] over its first three years, depending on who builds it and what the yearly fee covers. Four companies build many of the province’s council websites, and each prices the work differently.

The figures here come from council minutes and cheque lists across the province, 2019 to 2026, each checked again in the council’s own document in October 2026. Every amount is cited, and the references name the council, the meeting and the amount.

The providers

All-Net, now Catalis

A $4,795 build, then $2,995 a year on a four-year term.[2][3] All-Net Municipal Solutions, now sold as Catalis, contracted with one council at $2,995 a year for four years in 2019[2]. A 2020 All-Net build was $4,795 for the website and $3,995 for a meetings module, with domain email at $900 a year, all plus taxes[3].

Loop

$3,759.99 a year on a three-year term; no build price in the minutes.[4] Loop, a division of Box Clever Incorporated of Sherwood Park, Alberta, was chosen from three quotes in 2024 for its Plus plan, which keeps agendas, minutes, attachments and meeting video together.

OurSask

$999 a year plus tax, on a two-year term; no build price in the minutes.[5] OurSask.info was developed under a SARM contract of up to $211,000, funded through the Targeted Sector Support Initiative[6]. Councils get a site on oursask.info, or on their own domain at no extra charge[7], with a page for their minutes.

M.R. Website Development Studio

A new site for about $5,500, then about $400 to $500 a year, with other work billed by the job.[8][9][10] M.R. Website Development Studio is a local builder in North Battleford. Two of its clients renewed for $410.03 in 2025 and $492.01 in 2026, tax in[8][9]. The renewal keeps the site online, and other work is billed by the job: one council’s accounts show $42.18 for a .ca domain, $92.41 to archive minutes, $70.49 to fix a page and $1,127.32 to set up email[11], and another council was quoted $75 a mailbox to move its email[12].

A new M.R. site cost one town $5,479 plus tax for its first year, in 2021[10]. When another council moved from M.R. to Storm Applied Technologies in 2026, its new site cost $5,581.08[13], covering the domain, hosting, design and staff training.

LocalFound

No build fee, then $600 a year on a three-year term, or $750 on a one-year term, plus tax.[1] The same price for a village, a town or a rural municipality, as of October 2026, and held for the term. It covers the build, hosting and the domain. The office posts minutes, bylaws and statements itself, from the site, whenever it likes, and makes changes the same way, with nothing billed by the job. There’s no add-on list. Each further municipality run by the same office is $300 a year[1]. Council sees the finished site before deciding anything. LocalFound is new in 2026.

The first three years

Most of the difference between providers shows up in the first three years of a new site, when the build is paid for. The chart adds each one up from the figures above.

The first three years of a new siteBuild plus three years of fees, before tax.
  • All-Net (Catalis)$13,780[2][3]$4,795 build, plus 3 years at $2,995
  • Loop$11,279.97[4]3 years at $3,759.99, no build fee in the minutes
  • OurSask$2,997[5]3 years at $999, no build fee in the minutes
  • M.R. Websites$6,365.50[8][10]$5,479 build with year one, plus 2 renewals at $443.25
  • LocalFound$1,800[1]3 years at $600, no build fee

Each total adds figures from different councils and years, so treat it as a guide to scale, not a quote.

"Ask" means none of the minutes we read said either way, so ask the provider. Fees are before any extras; the three-year totals are in the chart above.

Finding your own council’s number

Budgets rarely have a website line. The cost usually sits inside "IT", "Advertising" or "Memberships & Subscriptions", so the provider’s name in the cheque list is the quickest way to find it. Add any per-job items, and the office’s own time if staff post the minutes and bylaws themselves.

Before the next quote

  1. Find your own number in the last twelve months of cheque lists, then add the domain and any per-job items.
  2. Ask each provider what the yearly fee covers, item by item: the build, the domain, posting minutes and bylaws, fixes and email.
  3. Ask how long the price is held, and what renewal looks like after that.
  4. Ask who owns the domain and the files if council changes provider.
  5. Put the figure and the term in the resolution, so the next council can find it.
