The process
How web projects work with us
You see what we’re building before it becomes expensive to change. Wherever you are in the province, the process is the same.
Step 1
Discovery & UX/UI design
We dig into your goals, your market and what’s already working, then turn it into a clear plan. For Quebec City clients this step happens around a table or over a video call. Then comes design: page structure, visitor journeys, branding. You approve the mockups before we build anything, while changes are still quick and easy to make.
Step 2
Website development
We build a fast site with no plugin bloat, one your team can run without us. When a feature doesn’t exist as a plugin, our full-stack developers code it from scratch and build it right into your site.
Step 3
Launch & support
We test the site and train your team before launch. Training is included. After that we stay available: monitoring, security updates, backups and small content edits. There’s always someone to talk to when your site needs attention.
Why Aponia
Why choose us over another agency?
A website can look great without generating results. Visitors arrive, then leave without taking the action you needed. That’s why every project starts from a clear goal: sell, book, explain, recruit or collect donations. Then we design the site around it. Here’s what that looks like in practice.
SEO built in from day one
Clean structure, fast load times and content written for people first. SEO foundations come with every site we deliver, so your Quebec City customers find you on Google instead of landing on your competitors.
Custom design over a template
Our approach starts from your goals. We design mockups which you then approve. We don't use templates, unless you specifically ask for one.
Bilingual and compliant with Quebec's laws
More than half the sites we build are bilingual, with separate URLs and SEO for each language. We also handle the website side of Law 25: consent, cookie controls, forms and privacy pages. And since Law 96, the French version of your site needs to be taken seriously.
Fast, secure, hosted in Canada
Our sites are fast from day one, because performance should never be an afterthought. We can host your site in a Canadian data center, with an SSL certificate, twice-daily backups, continuous monitoring and server-side security.
A site your team runs itself
The site is yours, code included. We train your team at launch so they can edit pages, swap images and add content themselves. You shouldn't have to call an agency to change a photo.
Rare accessibility expertise
Every site can be built to WCAG standards. We've developed solutions for the deaf-blind community, hands-on experience few agencies have. For Quebec City's public and parapublic organizations, that's often a requirement, not an option.

Whether you’re starting from scratch or your current site has run its course, we can help, in Quebec City and anywhere in the province.

Getting found by your Quebec City customers: local SEO
When someone searches for your line of business with “Quebec City”, “Sainte-Foy” or “Lebourgneuf”, Google favours businesses whose site clearly says where they are, what they do and who they serve. That gets built in from the design stage: a clear page per service, well-structured contact and service-area information, fast load times, and content in both languages that answers the questions your customers actually ask.
Those foundations come with every site we deliver. After launch, we can keep working with you, with the same team that built your site.
Websites for the Capitale-Nationale's public and parapublic sector
As the provincial capital, the Quebec City region is dense with public, parapublic and community organizations, and a good share of our work in the area comes from that world. The OQACC, a Université Laval research team, wanted its work easy to access for fellow researchers and public bodies. These organizations arrive with requirements we know up front: WCAG accessibility, Law 25 compliance and, often, a formal RFP process. If you’re preparing an RFP or a requirements document, send it over: we respond to them regularly.
Websites for the region's private businesses
Clinics, shops, professional firms, service businesses: the private sector makes up the other large share of our clients. 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. Accès Identité et Investigation is a good example: established in Quebec City, the company wanted to build a client base for its new office.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the steps to building a website?
Three main steps: discovery and UX/UI design, development, then launch with training for your team. You approve the mockups before development starts, which avoids bad surprises. Most projects take 6 to 10 weeks, and most of our clients see a first deliverable within two weeks.
Why work with a Quebec-based agency?
Because your site has to comply with Law 25 and Law 96 and meet the expectations of customers who shop in French. We live those realities every day. Members of our team live in Quebec City, and many clients work with us by video call, with replies in under 24 business hours.
Can you help my business show up in local searches in Quebec City?
Yes. Every site we deliver includes local SEO foundations: clean structure, one page per service, well-marked contact information and content written for your customers. After launch we also offer ongoing SEO and Google Ads, with the team that already knows your site.
Do you respond to RFPs?
Yes. We regularly respond to RFPs from public, parapublic and non-profit organizations. Send us your requirements document and we’ll tell you quickly whether we can bid.
