Ready for takeoff · Montréal

Your website deserves
a good pilot.

I build, translate into French and maintain websites for Quebec businesses. Before touching anything, I run a full inspection of your current site. For free.

Questions for the tower

Frequently asked questions.

Is a French website mandatory in Quebec?

In general, yes. The Charter of the French Language requires a business operating in Quebec to make its website available in French. It can also be offered in English. I don't give legal advice: for the rules that apply to your business, check with the Office québécois de la langue française.

Do I need a new website to get a French version?

No. In most cases, I add or fix the French directly in your current site, whatever platform it runs on.

Is it machine translation?

No. I may use tools to work faster, but every sentence is reviewed and adapted to Quebec French before it goes live.

How long does it take?

A French translation usually takes one to two weeks, depending on the number of pages. A complete website takes three to six weeks. The exact timeline is written in your quote.

Why are your prices lower than agency rates?

I'm launching my business and I work on my own, with no office to pay for. My launch prices help me build my first portfolio. The care that goes into the work is not discounted.

Is the free inspection really free?

Yes. You get the report at no cost and with no commitment. If you want help fixing what it finds, we can talk. If not, the report is yours to keep.

Can you build an online store?

Yes. I build stores on Shopify, the platform that handles payments and security. The store and the account are in your name. Try the Érablière du Rang 4 demo (in French) to see the result.

Who owns the website?

You do. The domain name is in your name, and you keep your text and photos even if you stop the maintenance plan.

How does payment work?

50% at the start of the project and 50% at launch, by Interac e-Transfer or credit card. Monthly maintenance is charged automatically to your card, and you can stop it anytime.

By day, I work in construction. By night, I build websites and play with artificial intelligence, and yes, I think it's fun. From the job site, I kept one rule: measure twice, cut once. That's how I build your website: well planned, solid and delivered clean.
