Websites & Digital Experiences
Most business websites fail in the same place. The design is fine, the copy is fine, and there is no obvious next move for someone who is ready to buy. The work here starts from what the site has to make happen and builds backwards.
Every site is built from scratch in code rather than assembled from a template, which means the layout can follow the business instead of the other way around, and nothing is paying rent to a page builder.

What you get
Deliverables.
- 01
A site that is yours
Custom design and front-end build. No template licence, no third-party builder you have to keep paying, and the code comes with the project.
- 02
Built to be found
Page titles, descriptions, structured data, a sitemap and clean URLs set up at build time rather than bolted on by a plugin afterwards.
- 03
Fast on a phone
Images sized and compressed per device, fonts loaded without a flash, and layout that does not jump while it loads. Most visitors arrive on a phone on mobile data and leave if it stalls.
- 04
A working inquiry path
Forms that actually deliver, with a confirmation the sender can see and a copy that reaches you. Booking, payment or a CRM handoff where the business needs one.
- 05
Handover
You get the repository, the hosting account and a walkthrough of how to change the things that change. Nothing is locked behind the studio.

Process
How a digital project runs
A brief, then a direction to react to before anything gets built, then the build, then a review pass on real devices before it goes live. Scope is agreed in writing up front so the quote is a quote rather than an opening position.

Before you send a brief.
- How much does a website cost?
- It is quoted per project. A one-page site for a trade business and a booking platform with accounts and payments are different orders of magnitude, and a public "starting at" figure would be misleading for one of them. Send a brief describing what the site has to do and a real number comes back.
- Do you work with businesses outside Montréal?
- Yes. Digital work is delivered remotely and the studio has no geographic limit on it. On-location photography is the part that is tied to Greater Montréal and the West Island.
- Who owns the site when it is finished?
- You do. The repository and the hosting account are transferred to you at handover, and the site runs without the studio if you want it to.
- Can you work with the photos and branding we already have?
- Yes, and it is worth an honest look at them first. Where existing images are holding the design back, the studio can shoot replacements rather than designing around the gap.
- Do you do maintenance after launch?
- It can be arranged as its own agreement. It is not bundled into the build quote by default, because most businesses do not need a monthly retainer and should not be sold one.
