Web design and SaaS development in Ottawa

Web design for a bilingual capital region

Ottawa and Gatineau form one market split by a river and a provincial border. Your customers may live in Orléans and work in the Hull sector, or the reverse; they search in English or in French depending on the day. A site for an Ottawa business has to take that into account from the first mock-up, not as an afterthought.

We build business websites, online stores and SaaS platforms for Ottawa organizations, remotely from our Montreal office. The design is made from scratch for your business, starting with the phone screen, and the site is hosted on Google Cloud.

Ontario rules, and when Quebec rules apply

The table is a starting point, not legal advice: your lawyer and your accountant confirm what applies to your organization. Our guides on AODA website accessibility and Bill 96 for websites go further.

One site for both sides of the river

Many Ottawa businesses choose a bilingual site even when the law does not require it, because a large share of the region reads French first. We build both versions together, with their own addresses so that each one can appear in Google, and a language switch that keeps the visitor on the same page. If you have a location on the Quebec side, a dedicated page can present it; see our page on web design in Gatineau.

Two complete languages, one design, one place to update.

Ottawa businesses we design for

The capital is not only government. From the ByWard Market to Westboro, the Glebe and Centretown, there are restaurants, shops and studios that live on local search. Kanata is home to many technology companies that need a product site or a client platform. Consultants, clinics and professional firms across the city need a clear site with a booking or contact form, and family businesses in Orléans or Barrhaven need to be found on a phone.

• Consultants and professional firms: clear services, credibility, contact.
• Restaurants and shops: hours, menu or catalogue, photos, directions.
• Technology companies: product site, SaaS platform, client portal.
• Clinics and studios: services, team, online booking.

Platforms and client portals for Ottawa companies

Technology companies and consulting firms often need more than a website: a client portal where customers log in to follow a file, an internal tool that replaces a spreadsheet, or a first version of a product to show investors and early users. We build these with the same technical base as our websites, so the public site and the platform share the same design and the same accounts.

Several platforms we designed are live today, such as Gwadadrop for delivery management, where the carrier organizes, the client company orders and tracks, and the driver works from a phone. Our SaaS development page explains how we build a first version in about four weeks.

Prices, timelines and how we work

A landing page starts at CA$1,400 and takes about a week; a multi-page website starts at CA$4,300 and takes about two weeks; a platform with member areas, dashboards and its own database is quoted and takes about four weeks. You can be invoiced in Canadian dollars and pay in two steps: a deposit, then the balance.
