Web development that gets found.
Twenty-two years of building websites, portals and web platforms — on today's stack, tuned for performance and accessibility, and optimised to be found by search engines and cited by AI assistants. Design, build, content, GEO and SEO under one quotation.
What we build
From brochure site to full platform
Corporate & marketing sites
Fast, credible, easy to update. Bilingual (EN/FR) when you need it. Designed to convert, not just to look good.
Web platforms & portals
Member portals, booking systems, dashboards, intranets — the sites that are really software.
E-commerce
Product catalogues, payments, inventory and fulfilment integrations that work in Canadian tax reality.
CMS & content ops
Your team updates content without a developer. We set up the workflows, permissions and guardrails.
Performance & accessibility
Core Web Vitals green, WCAG 2.2 AA — increasingly required in education, healthcare and government procurement.
Rescue & takeover
Inherited a mess? We audit, stabilise, then improve — or tell you honestly to rebuild.
The 2026 difference
GEO: be the answer AI assistants give
Buyers increasingly ask ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity instead of Googling. Generative engine optimization structures your site — answer-first pages, FAQ schema, entity clarity, llms.txt, crawler policy — so those assistants find you, quote you and recommend you.
- AI-crawler and robots.txt policy set correctly
- Answer-first page structure and FAQ schema
- Structured data: Organization, Service, FAQPage
- llms.txt and entity consistency across the web
- Monthly AI-citation tracking across four assistants
- Classic technical SEO underneath it all
We apply the same playbook to our own site — ask us for the before/after data.

Questions we hear
Web development FAQ
How much does a website cost in Canada?
An 8–12 page brochure website typically runs CAD 6,000–12,000 with us. Web platforms and portals are scoped by feature; most fall between CAD 15,000 and 50,000. You get a fixed written quotation before any work starts.
What is GEO, and how is it different from SEO?
SEO makes your site rank in search results. GEO — generative engine optimization — makes your business appear and get cited in AI-generated answers from ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. The technical work overlaps; the content structure is different. We do both, together.
Which technologies do you build with?
Whatever the job needs, from a well-built CMS site to fully custom platforms. We favour fast, low-maintenance stacks — static or lightly dynamic sites where possible — because they stay fast and secure for years without a retainer to babysit them.
Can you take over an existing website?
Yes — a large share of our work starts as a rescue or takeover. We audit first, tell you honestly whether it should be repaired or rebuilt, and quote both paths.
Do you handle hosting and maintenance after launch?
Yes. Care plans start at CAD 350/month and cover hosting, updates, backups, monitoring and a real person to call. See IT Services.
