Web design and SaaS development in Montreal

A Montreal web design studio, downtown

Our Canadian company, Solution Ecobill Canada Inc., works from 1455 Drummond Street, Suite 2B. Montreal clients can meet us in person for the kickoff, then follow the project by video call, email or phone. You always deal with the people who design and code your site, not with a sales layer.

We cover the whole range of web design and development in Montreal: a business website for a shop or a practice, a website with a CMS you update yourself, an online store, or a full SaaS platform with user accounts and subscriptions. Every design is made from scratch, starting with how the page looks on a phone.

Bilingual by default: Bill 96 and Law 25

Montreal businesses usually serve customers in both French and English. The law sets the order: under the Charter of the French Language, as amended by Bill 96, a commercial website aimed at Quebec must be offered in French, and the French version must be at least as accessible as any other language version. In practice we build one site with two complete versions and a clear language switch, each with its own addresses so that Google can index both.

Personal information is the other local rule. Quebec's Law 25 requires consent, a designated person in charge of personal information and a privacy policy written in clear terms. Contact forms, booking tools and customer accounts are built with that in mind. Our guides on Bill 96 for websites and Law 25 and website privacy go into the details; for a legal opinion on your situation, ask a lawyer.

A Montreal site is bilingual from the first mock-up, not translated at the last minute.

Work we have delivered in Montreal

Two of our live sites belong to Montreal clients, and you can open them today:

• CHMT Design: the portfolio of designer Charles Chaumet, with a private management area so he can publish his projects himself. See the CHMT Design case study.
• Coiffure Le Ritz: a historic Montreal hair salon, with its services, team, products and appointment booking. See the Coiffure Le Ritz case study.

We also designed and publish GORIFIT, a strength training app that also tracks meals and hydration, with a space for coaches. It shows the kind of platform we build when a project goes beyond a website. All our work is on our portfolio page (in French).

Who we build for across the island

Montreal is not one market. A restaurant in Old Montreal welcomes visitors who read the menu in English, while a bakery on the Plateau mostly talks to its neighbours in French. A creative studio in Mile End needs a portfolio that loads fast and shows the work large; a distributor in the Saint-Laurent industrial area needs a product catalogue and a quote request form for professional buyers; a Griffintown startup needs a first version of its product, quickly. We start every project by asking who your customer is and what they should do on the site.

• Restaurants, cafés and bars: menu, photos, hours, reservations.
• Salons, clinics and studios: services, team, online booking.
• Designers and creative businesses: portfolio with a management area.
• Trades and home services: service pages and estimate requests.
• Startups and SMEs: SaaS platforms, client portals and business web apps.

Prices and timelines in Canadian dollars

Montreal agency pages rarely show a price. We do, so that you can compare before you call:

Montreal clients can be invoiced in Canadian dollars, and payment can be split in two: a deposit, then the balance. The quote is free; the packages are detailed on our offers page (in French).

How a Montreal project runs

1. 01
   Brief

   We define your needs, your goals and your customers, in person downtown or by video call.

2. 02
   Mock-up

   You see and approve the design, in French and English, before any development starts.

3. 03
   Development

   We build the site, test a first version with you and fix what needs fixing.

4. 04
   Launch and follow-up

   We put the site online, host it and stay available after the launch.

Quotes, contract, invoices and payments are all in one place, our client space called L'intranet.
