Tell us about your project and we’ll help you figure out the next step.
You see what we’re building before it becomes expensive to change. The process is the same whether you’re in Montreal or elsewhere, and meetings happen in person or over video call, at times that work for you.
Step 1
We dig into your goals and what’s already working, then turn it into a clear plan: who needs to visit the site and what action they should take. Then comes design. You approve the mockups before we build anything, while changes are still quick and easy to make.
Step 2
We build with clean code and as few plugins as possibles to ensure you get a fast website. We want you to run the site without calling us ! When a feature doesn’t exist as a plugin, our full-stack developers code it from scratch.
Step 3
We test the site and train your team before launch. Your current site stays online through the whole project: the new one is built in a separate environment, and your visitors see no interruption at switchover. After launch we stay available: monitoring, security updates, backups and small content edits. And if you’d rather run everything yourself, the free training at launch makes your team self-sufficient.
A website can look great without generating results. Visitors arrive, then leave without taking the action you needed. Everything starts from a clear goal: sell, book, explain, recruit, collect donations. We define it, then design the site around it. Here’s what that looks like in practice.
SEO isn't an option you add after launch. Page structure and load times are planned from the start so search engines, and now AI tools, understand every page. In a market as crowded as Montreal, that's often what makes the difference. After launch, many of our clients keep working with us on SEO or Google Ads.
Our approach starts from your goals. We design mockups, which you then approve before we build it. No templates, unless you specifically ask for one.
Every page has a goal. We design around the action that matters: the form submitted, the cart paid, the donation completed, the application received. At the end of the day, the site should bring you more than it costs you.
Our sites are fast from the start, because performance should never be an afterthought. We can host your site in a Canadian data center very close to Montreal: SSL certificate, twice-daily backups, continuous monitoring and server-side security. You can also stay with the host of your choice.
It's your site, not ours. We build on WordPress so your team can edit pages and add content without a developer. Training is free at launch. You're never stuck with a vendor: everything we do is yours.
Our sites can be built to WCAG standards. We have hands-on experience in accessibility for deaf and blind users, which few agencies do. For Montreal's public organizations and non-profits, that's increasingly a requirement, not a nice-to-have.
Whether you’re starting from scratch or your current site has run its course, we can help, on the island, in Laval, and across the North and South Shores.
Want more before reaching out? Here’s the essential: how to stand out in the Montreal market, our work with non-profits and private businesses alike, the area we serve, and the bilingual question.
Whether your search started with “web design Montreal”, “Montreal web agency” or “website design Montreal”, you’ve seen how many agencies are fighting over those words. Montreal is the densest web market in the province. For your business, that means a “decent” website isn’t enough: it has to be built for SEO from day one. We build our website with fast load times, and content that targets the specific searches your customers make in your market rather than generalities. That’s exactly what we do, and when you need more visibility, the same team handles ongoing SEO and Google Ads.
Half of our clients are organizations: non-profits, foundations, associations, public bodies. In the Montreal area, Moisson Laurentides is a good example: its site streamlines donations, access to food resources, and events like the annual food drive, right on the site with no third-party services. For these organizations, we know the requirements up front: WCAG accessibility, Law 25 compliance, online donations and, often, a formal RFP process. If you’re preparing an RFP, send it over: we respond to them regularly.
Shops, clinics, restaurants, professional firms: private businesses make up the other half of our clientele. The challenges are different, usually standing out on Google, generating calls and quote requests, and selling online. The process is simpler too: no RFPs or paperwork, just a conversation about what the site needs to accomplish for you. Plenty of agency pages talk about Montreal without ever naming a Montreal client, so here are two of ours: Metalomania, whose Montreal storefront took orders from across Canada through the site (but have not moved to an online-only business model), and Clinique dentaire Lux, which wanted a warm ad-ready website after acquiring a Montreal clinic in the NDG neighborhood.
Greater Montreal doesn’t stop at the island. We work with businesses and organizations in Laval, Longueuil and across the North and South Shores: Centre de santé dentaire Fabreville in Laval is one example, and members of our own team live in Longueuil and Chambly. The process is the same everywhere: in-person or video-call meetings, and a site built so your customers find you whether they’re searching from Brossard, Laval or the Plateau.
If your customers are concentrated in one area, tell us at the discovery meeting: the site’s structure and content can target those local searches from day one.
More than half the sites we build are bilingual. In Montreal, where your customers search in both French and English, it’s often the first structural decision of the project. Each language gets its own URLs and SEO foundations, so both versions get found in search. And since Law 96, the French version needs to be taken seriously by any business operating in Quebec. If yours is an afterthought, a redesign is the time to fix it properly.
Most projects take 6 to 10 weeks from first call to launch, depending on size and how much custom work is involved. You see a first deliverable within two weeks, and we give you a clear timeline up front.
Yes. Members of our team live in the area, and we serve Montreal in-person and by video call, like most of our 400-plus projects across Quebec.
Yes, it’s a big part of what we do. We rebuild aging or slow sites to be modern and fast, without losing the SEO they’ve earned. The new site is built in a separate environment and goes live when it’s ready.
WordPress, in most cases, but we use other CMS depending on your requirements. It’s flexible, and almost anyone on your team can learn to edit it. When built lean, it stays fast and easy to manage. For e-commerce we often recommend Shopify or WooCommerce depending on your catalog. Our advice depends on your project.
