Questions people ask before they start

How much does it cost?

The Website Check-Up is $200. A One-Page Website starts at $600. A Full Website starts at $1,200. You get the exact price after we talk, before you pay for the build.

What makes the price go up?

More services or pages, more photos, writing done for you, and a third language. The website is offered in French and English as standard.

Is the $200 check-up really credited?

Yes. If you go ahead with a One-Page Website or a Full Website, the $200 is taken off the price.

I do not have a website yet. Can I still start with the check-up?

Yes. I look at how customers find you today: your Google listing, social pages and directories. Then I tell you what a website needs to do for you.

How long will it take?

The check-up is ready 2 business days after we meet. A One-Page Website takes about 2 weeks and a Full Website about 4 weeks. It goes faster when your photos and information arrive on time.

What is included, and what costs extra?

Included: French and English versions, a Law 25 cookie banner, training, 30 days of support and two rounds of changes. Extra: domain name, hosting, copywriting and photos.

What is a Law 25 cookie banner?

Quebec privacy law asks you to tell visitors what you collect and let them say yes or no. The banner and the Privacy page do that. This is not legal advice.

Can I update the website myself?

Yes. Training is included so you can make small changes on your own. For bigger changes, I can quote them.

Will this put me on the first page of Google?

A clear website helps, but showing up on Google Maps and in search is a separate job called local SEO. Nobody can honestly promise a ranking.

Do you work outside Montreal?

Only in Greater Montreal. That is what makes the in-person meeting possible.

How do I pay?

Audits are paid in full to book. Builds start with 50%.

If you also want to be found on Google Maps, see the local SEO packages.

Ready to see what your website needs?

Send the form, book a call, or message me. Start with the $200 check-up and decide what to build once you can see the plan.
