Websites Engineered, Not Just Decorated

A template gets you a look. What it usually does not get you is a site that loads fast on a mid-range phone, that Google can crawl and index properly, that works with a keyboard and a screen reader, and that you actually own. We come at the web from the infrastructure and security side, so those things are the starting point rather than an upsell. You get the source code, and you can host it anywhere.

Yes, and it is a genuine specialty rather than a checkbox — this site is one. Done properly, a bilingual build needs localized URLs, correct hreflang annotations so Google serves the right language to the right visitor, translated metadata and structured data, and a language switcher that keeps you on the same page instead of dumping you back on the homepage. Machine-translating a page and hoping is not the same thing, and Quebec businesses have Charter obligations that make getting it right a legal matter as well as an SEO one.

That is the usual goal. We integrate a headless CMS so your team edits content in a normal interface without touching code or waiting on us. If you would rather we handle changes, we can do that too — the difference is that it stays your choice, because you hold the code either way.

You do, in full, on final payment — source code, design assets, and content. There is no proprietary builder to stay subscribed to and no lock-in that makes leaving expensive. If you later want a different developer to take over, they can.

Yes, and this is the part most redesigns get wrong. Whatever ranking equity the current site has lives in its URLs, so before anything changes we inventory the existing pages, map every old URL to its closest successor with a permanent redirect, and carry over titles, metadata and structured data rather than starting blank. Search Console gets watched afterwards so a problem shows up in days rather than a quarter later.

A focused marketing site is typically three to six weeks; a larger bilingual build or one with commerce or custom application work runs longer. We scope in phases and price per phase, so you see a real cost before committing to the whole thing. We would rather quote accurately after a short discovery than throw out a number that changes later.
