The blog for Quebec small businesses

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the questions Quebec small businesses ask us most often.

How long does it take to build a website?

Expect 5 to 7 days for a 1 to 5 page brochure site. A site with a store or more advanced features usually takes 3 to 8 weeks. The real bottleneck is almost always content: copy, photos and logo.

Can I update my site myself after delivery?

Yes. We train you and give you simple access to change your texts, photos and prices. Bigger changes (new section, new design) can be handled by us.

Does the price include the domain name and hosting?

The domain and hosting stay in your name and remain your property. We handle all the setup, and the cost (about $100 to $200 per year) goes directly to you, with no markup.

What is local SEO exactly?

It's the work that makes your business appear when someone searches for 'restaurant near me' or 'garage in Montreal'. It includes optimizing your Google Maps listing, your site's tags, and copy that targets your neighborhood and services.

I already have a Google Maps listing, isn't that enough?

A Google Maps listing is a good start, but it's limited. A website lets you show your services in detail, your photos, reviews and menu. The listing and the site work together: the listing attracts, the site convinces.

Why a custom site instead of a template?

A template is fast but generic: dozens of businesses in your field use the same one. A custom site is built around your brand, your customers and your goals. It sets you apart, and it's designed to turn visitors into clients.

Will my site show up on Google?

We optimize every site for local SEO from day one: tags, speed, Google listings, targeted content. Full visibility usually takes 2 to 4 months, but the foundations are in place from day one.

What if I'm not satisfied?

We work with you in stages, with approvals at every step. You see the design before it's finalized, so there are no surprises. We adjust until you're happy, because it's in our interest too: a satisfied client is our best advertisement.

How does it actually work?

Everything starts with a free 30-minute call. We listen, we look at your current online presence, and we honestly tell you what's worth improving. If we're not the right partner for you, we'll tell you that too.

Then we give you a clear plan with a fixed price. No surprises, no budget overruns.

Once the project starts, we send you the design for approval before coding. You adjust, we fix, and once everything is approved, we deliver.

After delivery, we stay available: changes, updates, questions. Your website isn't just another project, it's a working tool that has to keep running.
