French comes first
Public-facing businesses in Quebec generally need French on the site. We set up both language versions, language tags and a switcher that keeps visitors on the matching page.

Quebec cities we build for
Montreal
Montreal businesses sell to French speakers, English speakers, students, tourists and buyers abroad, often in the same week. Your website has to switch between those audiences without tripping over itself.
Web Design in MontrealQuebec City
Quebec City lives on three things: the provincial government, Université Laval and visitors drawn to the old walled town. Websites here usually serve one of those worlds, and sometimes all three.
Web Design in Quebec CityGatineau
Gatineau sits across the Ottawa River from the national capital, and plenty of its customers cross a bridge every day. A Gatineau website often has to work for Quebec and Ontario buyers at the same time.

Building for a French-first province
Quebec is the one province where French is the default language of commerce, and that shapes almost every website decision. A company selling to the public here generally needs French on its site under the Charter of the French Language, which Bill 96 strengthened. We are not lawyers and give no legal advice, but we plan every Quebec build so the French version is complete, not an afterthought tucked behind a flag icon.
Each city has a different centre of gravity. Montreal is a large, mixed economy with aerospace, video game studios, research labs, a busy port and four universities. Quebec City revolves around the provincial government, Université Laval and the visitors who come to walk the old town. Gatineau faces Ottawa across the river, so many of its businesses serve customers in two provinces at once.
Our Calgary team keeps hours two hours behind Quebec, so a call at eleven in Montreal is nine in the morning for us. We build English and French versions of each page and link them together; the French text comes from your translator, or we quote the translation before work begins.
GST plus QST
Quebec charges its own sales tax beside the federal GST. Online stores need both taxes shown correctly, along with the right rules for buyers who live in other provinces.
Two-province audiences
Gatineau firms often sell into Ottawa, and Montreal companies ship across Canada. Page structure and tax settings have to account for customers on both sides of a border.

Does my Quebec website need to be in French?
TTTwo Trees Studio
In most cases a business selling to the public in Quebec needs French content on its website, and the Charter of the French Language (updated by Bill 96) sets out those expectations. We cannot tell you exactly what applies to your company, so check with a lawyer or the Office québécois de la langue française if you are unsure. What we can do is build the site so every page has a full French version.
Who writes the French text?
TTTwo Trees Studio
We do not write French copy ourselves. Your own translator can work straight inside WordPress, or you can send us finished translations to place. If you have no translator, we arrange one and give you the price in writing before anything is ordered, so the cost is never a surprise halfway through the build.
How do meetings work from Calgary?
TTTwo Trees Studio
By phone or video, booked in your late morning or afternoon since Quebec is two hours ahead of us. The first call covers your customers and goals. After that you get the page list, features, schedule and a fixed price on paper, and drafts arrive as private links you can open on any device.
