Frank answers, before you even call us.
Pricing, timelines, ownership, AI, SEO: everything we get asked most, straight up. Missing your question? Write to us.
How much does a website cost in Quebec?
At Boréo, a professional business website starts at $1,950, a performance-focused website with advanced SEO at $3,900, and an online store at $6,900. These packages are detailed on our Services page. On the Quebec market, prices vary enormously (from a few hundred dollars for a generic template to over $20,000 at a large agency) — what matters is knowing exactly what's included. Your Boréo proposal lists everything, and the price is firm.
How long does it take to build a website?
A business website typically goes live 2 to 4 weeks after we receive your content (photos, information about your services). An online store takes 4 to 8 weeks. You receive a precise schedule with your proposal, and you always know where the project stands.
Will I own my website?
Yes, entirely. The domain name is registered in your name, the website belongs to you, and all access credentials are handed over. If you ever decide to change agencies, everything goes with you — it's a written commitment.
You use artificial intelligence — will my website be generic?
No. AI speeds up technical and repetitive tasks, which lowers your costs and our timelines. Strategy, design and decisions stay human, and every website is custom-designed for your business. The result: big-agency quality at small-team prices.
Do you do Google rankings (SEO)?
Yes — it's built into every website from the design stage: optimized structure, speed, meta tags, local SEO. To target top positions durably, we also offer monthly SEO support from $750/month: regular content, continuous optimization and a clear monthly report.
How long before SEO shows results?
First effects typically show between 3 and 6 months, depending on your market and competition. SEO is a long-game investment: every position you win then works for you continuously, without an ad budget. Beware of anyone guaranteeing first position within weeks — nobody controls Google.
What happens after launch?
Thirty days of adjustments are included in every project. After that, two options: you manage your website yourself (we train you), or you choose the Peace-of-Mind plan at $79/month — hosting, backups, security, small changes and a monthly report.
I already have a website. Redesign it or start over?
It depends on what your current website has accumulated: if it has good Google history, a well-managed redesign preserves it through a redirect plan. If it's very dated or poorly built, starting fresh is sometimes cheaper. The initial audit (included with every quote request) gives you a frank answer, numbers included.
Who writes the website copy?
We do. Professional copywriting is included in every package: clear, persuasive, Google-optimized copy in flawless French and English. You approve everything — you know your customers better than anyone — but you never start from a blank page.
Do you only work in Montreal?
No — we work with businesses across Quebec. Almost the entire process happens remotely (video calls, email, phone), which makes us just as effective in Quebec City, Sherbrooke or Rimouski as in Montreal.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes: 50% to start, 50% at launch for standard projects. For larger projects, three instalments are possible. No final payment is required before you've approved the website.
Will my website comply with Bill 96?
Yes. All our websites are delivered with impeccable French and meet the Charter of the French Language requirements for online commercial publications. An English version can be added — French remains the default language.
