Good questions. Real answers.

Showcase $800, Business $1,700 or Expansion $2,900, plus taxes, paid once. The first year of Web Care is included in all three.

Everything is written on the Packages page, options included. The amount you see is the amount you pay, plus taxes. If there’s custom work, we tell you before we start.

In two payments: 50% at signing, 50% before the site goes live. Never after. The deposit reserves your spot in the schedule and covers the work at the start.

Example for Business: $850 at signing, $850 when the site is ready and approved, plus taxes on each payment. You see the complete site before you pay the balance.

No. All prices on the site are shown before taxes, as is customary in Québec. GST and QST are added on the invoice, and they appear clearly on the quote you receive in writing before you say yes.

You do, as soon as it’s paid in full. The files are yours, the domain name is registered in your name, and so are your Google accounts. Nothing is locked inside an in-house system. Any developer can take it over tomorrow morning. We think that’s how it should be.

Yes, for the first year. With Showcase, it’s the Base plan: hosting and domain name. With Business and Expansion, it’s the Mail plan: hosting, domain and a mailbox in your name.

After that, you keep the included plan ($29 or $39 a month + taxes), move up to a bigger one, or we hand you your files and you host elsewhere.

The day the site goes live, not the day you sign. If your photos take three weeks to arrive, you don’t lose three weeks of hosting. You get twelve full months with your site online.

Web Care means we keep your site online while you’re at work: hosting in Montréal, domain name, security certificate, backups, monitoring and support. Depending on the plan, there are also mailboxes in your name and time for changes each year.

Five plans: Base $29, Mail $39, Team $49, Complete $89 and Growth $109 a month, plus taxes. The details are on the Packages page.

Why 12 months? Because domain names and hosting are reserved by the year. A one-year commitment lets us keep the monthly price low. The first year is included with your website.

You leave with everything. We hand you your files, your domain stays in your name, and you host it wherever you want. Hosting, the certificate, backups and changes then become your responsibility. We’re still here to help, at the hourly rate.

For a Showcase site, a first version in under 48 hours and the finished site in under a week; for Business, ten business days. We count from the moment we have all your content: photos, texts or information, and access. At signing, you receive the list of material to provide; the clock starts once everything is received. Expansion can take longer. The timeline is confirmed in writing before we start.

We get started anyway. We begin with well-chosen royalty-free photos and replace them with your real photos as soon as you have them. As for the texts, we write them from what you tell us.

If we haven’t received anything 30 days after signing, we finish the website with royalty-free photos and our texts so you’re online. Your real photos are added afterwards.

If you want, yes, at no extra cost: the English version is included in all three packages. With Business, that’s up to 10 pages in French and the same 10 in English. You choose what suits your customers.

Your website is hosted in Montréal, with a local provider. Your customers are mostly in Québec: the server is close to them. Your website and its files stay on a server in Québec, which makes Law 25 compliance simpler. And the money stays with a local business.

Law 25 is Québec’s personal information protection law. For a website, it means among other things a clear privacy policy, and asking permission before placing cookies that track visitors, like Google’s or Facebook’s.

The consent banner is the bar that asks visitors the question and remembers their answer. Our websites are built without unnecessary tracking: fonts hosted on our own server, no needless calls to outside services. As soon as you add advertising (Meta pixel, Google tags), the banner becomes necessary.

They’re small pieces of code added to your website. They tell Facebook or Google: “someone viewed the Quote page”, “someone tapped Call”.

They serve two purposes: knowing which ads bring in calls, and showing your ads to the right people. Because they track the visitor, they require consent, hence the consent banner. We install them when you run ad campaigns.

Organic SEO is your place in Google’s free results. It’s built with a good website, one page per service and per city, and an up-to-date Google Business Profile. It’s slower to get going, but you don’t pay for every click.

Google Ads is advertising: you pay to appear at the top right away, and it stops when you stop paying.

For most small businesses, we start with a solid website and an up-to-date Google Business Profile. Advertising comes next, if you want to speed things up. We’ll tell you frankly on the call.

Yes. Google Ads or Meta (Facebook and Instagram): $349 a month for one platform, $599 for both, plus taxes, and a one-time $499 setup ($749 for both). These prices apply to an ad budget of up to $2,000 a month. Your ad budget is paid by you, directly to Google or Meta, in an account in your name.

Three months minimum, because in the first month the platforms are learning. No results are guaranteed: we promise the work, the monitoring, the adjustments and a report every month. Campaigns require the Growth plan ($109 a month) and the consent banner; we explain everything on the call.

Michael. We openly work with the best tools available today (Claude, GPT, Gemini, Perplexity) to move faster on code, images and research. The taste, the design, the words and every decision stay with Michael. The time saved shows in our prices.

A ganolyk website isn’t produced automatically: it’s designed for your business, reviewed by a person and tested on phone and computer before launch.

Our free SEO audit relies on Perplexity and technical checks, then Michael reads and annotates it.

Mostly, it’s changing the way people search. More and more people ask an assistant their question instead of digging through ten pages of results, and the assistant answers by reading websites.

To be cited, yours has to be clear: headings that mean something, your services and your cities spelled out, your contact details identical everywhere, structured data a machine can read. It’s not a separate treatment: it’s exactly what makes a website pleasant for a human. We build it that way by default.

Word of mouth doesn’t stop at the recommendation. When someone mentions you to a friend, the first thing the friend does is type your name into their phone. What they find at that moment decides whether they call or keep looking.

A website is what answers for you while you’re on a job: what you do, where you do it, what it looks like when it’s done right, and how to reach you. It doesn’t replace your reputation. It backs it up.

You can, and for some people that’s enough. Two things to know first.

One: a template is built for everyone, so it doesn’t speak about anyone in particular. Not your cities, not your services, not the way you work, and that’s exactly what your customers and Google are looking for.

Two: you’re renting. The day you stop paying, the website disappears and you walk away with nothing. With us, you pay once, the files are yours, the first year of hosting is included, and you can leave with your website afterwards.

A few telltale signs: it’s hard to read on a cellphone, it’s slow to open, it still shows an old number or services you no longer offer, you can’t change a line without calling someone, or you simply don’t dare show it.

The best test is the simplest: open it on your phone in front of someone who doesn’t know you. If you feel the need to explain, it’s time.

No one can guarantee it, but we take the precautions that limit the risk. Before touching anything, we note the addresses of your current pages and the ones that bring you visitors. Existing pages keep their address whenever possible; the ones we move are redirected to the new one, so neither Google nor your old links end up nowhere. Titles and descriptions follow, and we keep an eye on the first weeks after launch.

A faster, better-structured website starts on solid ground. But Google decides the ranking, not us: we won’t promise you a position or a number.

The bare essentials, and the list isn’t long: open fast, read as well on a cellphone as on a computer, say in five seconds what you do and where, let people call in one tap, have one page per service rather than a catch-all, use HTTPS, and stay usable for someone with poor eyesight or who navigates with a keyboard.

The rest (form, gallery, booking, blog) gets added when it truly serves your trade. We won’t sell you a feature because it’s trendy.

Nobody can honestly promise you that. What we do: a solid local SEO structure (titles, separate service pages, consistent contact details, speed, mobile display, structured data). The final ranking belongs to Google, but you start with the right foundations.

No. Your website is built in HTML, CSS and JavaScript, the three languages every browser understands, and will for a long time. There’s no complicated system underneath, so nothing goes out of date or forces you to pay for an upgrade.

Adding a page, changing prices, posting a new project: it’s done piece by piece, without starting over. A well-built website ages like a good tool, not like a subscription.

Ask three questions, and above all listen to how they answer. One: does the website belong to me, files included, even if it’s no longer hosted with you? Two: what exactly is included, and what costs extra? Three: who writes the texts, and who corrects them if I don’t agree?

Be wary of two things: a guaranteed first position on Google, and a price that changes along the way. Ask to see websites that are online, not just images. And if the person only talks to you about design without ever asking how you find your customers, they’re not the right one.

Because a well-made website takes attention, and attention doesn’t divide by twenty. When our schedule is full, we give you a real start date. You’d rather have that than a yes we can’t keep.

It’s possible, but it falls outside the packages. A store needs its own assessment: catalogue, payments, shipping, taxes. We give you a clear quote first.
