Montreal
Montreal: French-first, English-complete, built remotely
Montreal is a world capital of video games and visual effects, a leading centre for artificial intelligence research, an aerospace hub and the home of thousands of Quebec businesses that work in French and sell across Canada and the United States. Companies here need tools that respect French without shortchanging English, and a partner who understands why that order matters.
What a Montreal company can ask of us
Designed in French, not translated into it
In Quebec, French is the language of work and of public-facing content, and the expectations are precise. A site designed in English and translated afterwards shows immediately, in its vocabulary and in its forms. We design in French first, with the terms used in Quebec, and then add English as a complete version rather than a copy.
This approach also helps with the obligations to display and serve in French, which are prepared naturally when French is the language of design, and the English version serves customers in the rest of Canada and the United States just as well.

Working remotely with Montreal
- Shared mornings. Meetings and approvals are placed in your mornings.
- A written trail. Anything decided while you are offline is recorded, so you find the progress waiting when you start your day.
- A bilingual partner. Scoping, documentation and support in French or English, whichever each team prefers.
Remote, in practice
We work with Montreal entirely remotely, with no office in Quebec. Meetings take place on video calls during your mornings, the rest in writing, and deliveries are scheduled on your calendar.
Common questions
Will the site meet Quebec’s language requirements?
It is designed in French first, with a complete and distinct English version. The specific obligations that apply to your business are checked together during scoping.
Is the time difference a problem?
No. Meetings happen in the Montreal morning and everything else is handled in writing, so you find the progress waiting when you start your day.
Can you invoice in Canadian dollars?
Invoicing terms, currency and applicable taxes are agreed during scoping, according to your situation.
