9 Best Website Builders in Canada of 2026

Wix covers the two things that set Canadian sites apart better than most builders. For language, the Wix Multilingual app duplicates your pages so you can translate them yourself, with a collaborator, or with machine translation, and new installs get 3,000 free word credits. Wix says it supports more than 180 languages and can detect a visitor's browser language. For payments, Wix connects to Moneris, which supports Interac Debit, Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay and Google Pay in CAD, and Afterpay is available to Canadian sellers. The plan most businesses need is Core at $29 per month billed yearly, because Light at $17 cannot accept payments. The catches are that displayed prices assume a yearly plan paid upfront, the main site language is fixed once chosen, and moving a Wix site later means rebuilding it. For a Montreal studio, an Ottawa clinic or a Calgary contractor, the tradeoff is usually worth it.

Shopify is the most complete store builder for Canadian sellers, and its Canadian pricing page shows plans and fees in CAD, which makes costs easy to plan. Basic is listed at $37 CAD per month on a yearly plan or $49 CAD monthly, with online card rates from 2.8% plus 30 cents CAD and in-person Interac at 0% plus 15 cents CAD. Shopify Payments for Canada handles cards, accelerated checkout and local payment methods from the Shopify admin. For bilingual stores, you can publish French as a store language, translate content with the Translate & Adapt app or AI translations, and checkout and notifications then appear in the customer's language. The weak points are cost and focus: a brochure site does not need Shopify, using an outside payment provider adds a 2% fee, and a retail counter needs the POS Pro add-on at $119 CAD per location. Because the page we fetched showed a different currency, the USD price is pending.

WordPress.com is the best pick when the site is mostly content: service pages, a blog, resources and news in two languages. Its support guide lays out three ways to build a multilingual site, from a separate site per language to adding languages on one site or using a multilingual plugin, and it describes translating content with the WordPress Agent. That flexibility suits Canadian organizations that must publish English and French versions of the same material. The Personal plan costs $4 per month billed every 12 months, $9 billed monthly, or $2.75 per month on a 36-month term, and a free plan lets you start without paying. The tradeoff is effort. WordPress has more settings than a drag-and-drop builder, plugins and full ecommerce sit on higher plans, and prices are shown before taxes, so GST or HST applies on top where it is charged. The upside is ownership: WordPress content can move to another host if you outgrow the platform.

Hostinger is the cheapest way onto this list. Premium costs $1.99 per month on a 48-month term, which Hostinger shows as $95.52 paid today, and it renews at $10.99 per month for the same term. The builder combines an AI mode with a manual drag-and-drop mode, and hosting is included. For bilingual sites, Hostinger's help center says a manual mode site supports up to four languages, including the default, and adding a language duplicates your pages so you can translate them. That covers English and French for a brochure site. Stores are the limit: Hostinger says manual mode online stores support a single language set in checkout settings, and it offers a workaround for showing products in more languages. We also found fewer Canadian payment details documented than for Shopify, Wix or Square. For a portfolio, a trades site or a first project, Hostinger is good value if you are comfortable paying four years upfront.

Square Online is the quickest route to an online store for a Canadian business that already rings up sales on Square. The free plan includes the website builder with SEO tools, sync with Square POS, pickup, local delivery and shipping, customer accounts and checkout with Google Pay, Apple Pay, Afterpay and Square Pay. You pay nothing monthly and 2.8% plus $0.30 per transaction. The Canadian plans page lists Plus at $36 per month billed annually, which adds website themes, a custom domain, QR code ordering, subscriptions and a free domain for one year, and Premium at $99 with a lower 2.5% rate and 24/7 phone support. Square runs its Canadian site in English and French, though we did not find a documented built-in tool for translating a Square Online storefront. Design control is more limited than Wix or Squarespace. Because the page shows Canadian dollars rather than USD, the USD price is pending.

Squarespace is the builder to pick when the look of the site matters most. Its templates are polished out of the box, and the platform covers commerce, scheduling, marketing and donations from one account. For Canadian sellers, the key point is that Squarespace Payments is available in Canada, alongside the United States, the United Kingdom and several European countries, so you can take cards and popular methods from the same dashboard that runs your site, with Stripe and PayPal as alternatives. Plans run from Basic to Core and Advanced, with up to 36% off when paid annually and a 14-day free trial, but no free plan. For bilingual sites we did not find a built-in translation tool on the pricing page, so check Squarespace's help center for current options before you build a French version. Because the pricing page showed us a different currency, the USD price is pending. It costs more than Wix or WordPress.com at entry level.

Webflow suits Canadian teams that want a bilingual site done properly rather than a translated copy. Its Localize add-on can translate a full site or individual elements with machine learning, and each locale can have its own static pages, CMS items, images and alt text, with a preview of every locale before publishing. That level of control matters for a company that markets to both English and French Canada or adapts content by region. The visual designer gives fine control over layout and interactions without code, and a free Starter plan lets you build first. Basic costs $15 per site per month billed yearly for sites that do not need a CMS. The drawbacks are cost and effort: Localize is billed on top of the site plan, a blog or resource library needs a CMS plan, and the editor takes longer to learn than Wix or Square Online. For marketing teams with a designer, it is worth the time.

Duda is the agency option on this list. It is designed for web professionals who build sites for clients, with client management, role-based permissions, team collaboration and a white label plan, and its pricing page states that prices are in USD and apply per account. Multi-language support appears in the plan comparison, and Duda's AI tools can write and translate copy, which helps an agency produce English and French versions of a client site. Basic costs $19 per month billed annually or $25 monthly and includes one site subscription, while Agency and White Label include four. Ecommerce is a premium upgrade, and stores and bookings may require additional purchases. For a single business owner, Wix or Squarespace is simpler and cheaper. For a Canadian agency serving local clients on both sides of the language line, Duda keeps many sites in one dashboard with a 14-day free trial to test it.

Strikingly is the quick and cheap option for a simple site. Every plan includes unlimited free sites, and the Limited plan at $8 per month billed yearly connects a custom domain with a free domain for the first year, 1 GB of storage per site and up to five pages. Pro at $16 raises the limits to 100 pages and 300 products and lowers the transaction fee to 2%, while VIP at $49 adds membership tiers, newsletters, a live chat widget and multi-language with auto-translation. Strikingly says all prices are in USD and can be paid by card or PayPal, so Canadians should expect their card's exchange rate. The weak spot for Canada is bilingual sites: you need the top plan for multi-language, which removes most of the price advantage. The Limited plan also adds a 5% fee on store orders. For a personal page, an event or a side business in one language, Strikingly is easy and inexpensive.
