WordPress web design in Quebec
As an SEO agency in Montreal, SEO Montreal™ builds every website from the searches your customers already make on Google. We handle everything, from mockup to launch, for businesses in Montreal, Quebec City, Gatineau, Sherbrooke and every other region of the province.
We redesign without breaking your URLs
A redesign starts with an inventory of your pages that get traffic from Google and the keywords they rank for. That list becomes a redirect map: each old URL gets a permanent server-side redirect (301), as Google recommends in its guide to site moves. Google warns that rankings can fluctuate temporarily during a migration, so we check that your new pages are indexed as soon as the site goes live.
We design your WordPress business website
Your business website presents your services with a design in your brand colours and a quote form your prospects can't miss. We build it on WordPress, so you can change a line of text or a photo yourself from the dashboard. If you ever switch providers, the site can be handed over to any other WordPress specialist. A React site generated by AI, on the other hand, is edited in its code, which means by a developer.
We host your new website
Once the site is approved, we launch it and host it, so you deal with a single team for web design and hosting. We follow the standard practice of serving the site over HTTPS, a secure connection that Google mentions in its page experience guide. Your quote details what hosting includes.
Web design in 5 deliverables
We guide you from the quote to launch, with your approval before each new deliverable of your website project.
Deliverable 1: the free quote
You describe your business and your goals in the quote form. After a kickoff meeting, the team gives you the scope of the website project in writing: number of pages, features, price and expected timeline.
Deliverable 2: the keyword-based site plan
We map the Google searches related to your services in your region, and the competing pages that already rank for them. This keyword strategy becomes the site structure: the list of pages to create, each with its own target keyword.
Deliverable 3: the mobile and desktop mockup
The mockup shows how your pages will look on phone and on desktop, with a user journey (UX) designed to get visitors to contact you. The copy, whether it comes from you or from our team, goes through Google Docs for approval before it is built into WordPress.
Deliverable 4: the WordPress site, built and tested
We build the website in WordPress from the approved mockup, with only the plugins it needs. Every page and every form on the website is then tested on phone and on desktop.
Deliverable 5: the website goes live
On launch day, we turn on the 301 redirects and check that Google can crawl the new pages. Your quote specifies how indexing and early results will be monitored in Search Console.

Everything about web design in Quebec
SEO built into web design
We prepare your website for search engines from the site plan onward: the page structure and the tags are set before the design.
We structure your website around keywords
The site structure comes from keyword research: each service gets its own page and, when demand justifies it, so does each city you serve, such as Laval or Lévis. Each page gets its own title tag, meta description and links to related pages, which is known as internal linking.
We check the website on phones first
To index and rank a site, Google first crawls its mobile version with its smartphone crawler: this is mobile-first indexing. Every website is therefore designed for phones first, responsive on screens of all sizes, with the same content on mobile and desktop.
Google also states that its ranking systems use Core Web Vitals: LCP (loading speed), INP (responsiveness) and CLS (visual stability). We test these performance signals before launch, and real data from your visitors then shows up in Search Console. Google adds that a good score doesn't guarantee a top spot in the results: relevant content comes first.
We plan the website's structured data
Depending on the project, we can add schema.org markup in JSON-LD that describes your business and your services, consistent with the visible text; your quote will say so. We also check the robots.txt file and the XML sitemap so that Google can crawl your pages from launch day.
We connect your website to Google Maps
Your name, address and phone number (NAP) are written the same way on the site and on your Google Business Profile, and the profile points to the right page of the site. To build your presence in the Google Maps local pack, our team then takes over with local SEO, as our SEO agency in Quebec City (in French) does in the Capitale-Nationale region.
Websites for Quebec businesses
Your customers often look for a business by city or region, with searches like "electrician Laval" or "dentist Sherbrooke". We plan these pages from the site structure stage, based on the area you serve.
Websites for contractors and home services
A roofer or a renovation contractor gets quote requests from a handful of cities in their region. Their site presents each service on its own page, with a quote form that's easy to reach with a thumb on mobile. The SEO side is covered on our SEO for construction companies page.
Websites for clinics and firms
For a clinic or a firm, the website builds the team's credibility with potential clients before the first appointment, with one page per treatment or practice area and a contact form. The SEO side is covered on our clinics and healthcare professionals and law firms pages.
Web design across Quebec
The same web design approach applies in Montreal, Quebec City, Gatineau, Trois-Rivières, Saguenay and every other region of the province. To build your presence in the answers of ChatGPT and other AI tools, our GEO agency in Quebec takes the work further.
Why trust SEO Montreal™ with your website
SEO Montreal™ is an SEO agency first: more than 500 clients in over 25 industries have trusted it with their SEO. As much a web agency as an SEO agency, the Montreal-based team applies to every professional website what works on Google for those clients, such as one page per service and a consistent Google profile. WordPress development is led by Valérie Larouche, head of web integration and development.
Once your website is live, you stay in control of your content and can update it yourself in WordPress. To then grow your visibility on Google, an SEO mandate is offered month to month, with no long-term contract.
Web design budget in Quebec
At SEO Montreal™, web design starts at about $2,500 for a small site, with a free quote for every project. The budget mainly depends on the size of the website and the features it needs to offer your customers. The quote also states who writes the copy and what hosting includes: it's a custom budget, not a package grid.

FAQ: web design in Quebec
At SEO Montreal™, it starts at about $2,500 for a small site, with a free quote. The final amount depends on the number of pages and features, then on copywriting, depending on the project. Every quote is tailored to your business and also states what website hosting includes.
In everyday use, both terms describe the work of building a website, from planning to launch. When people separate them, web design covers the steps before any coding (the site structure and the mockup) and development covers building the site itself. A redesign repeats these steps on an existing site, keeping the pages that already bring in traffic from Google.
Not always. We create a city page when your customers really search for your service in that place (for example, "plumber Laval") and when the page can talk about your work in that city. Otherwise, a single service page that names the cities you serve is enough for local SEO. Keyword research settles the question before the first mockup of the website.
Each one is redirected to the page that replaces it with a permanent server-side redirect (301), following a redirect map prepared before launch from your pages that get traffic. A well-prepared website redesign aims to keep your SEO gains. Google notes that rankings can fluctuate temporarily during a migration. Your quote specifies the monitoring planned in Search Console.
WordPress keeps you in control of your website: you add a page or change a price from a dashboard, without touching any HTML code. Because this CMS is so widely used, your site can be handed over to another specialist if your needs change. Its plugins add features as needed, such as online booking or an online store with WooCommerce.
A website designed around SEO starts on solid ground: each page targets a specific search and loads quickly on mobile. No legitimate agency can guarantee specific rankings, though. Rankings also depend on the competition in your industry and on the content added over time, which is the work of an SEO mandate.
Yes. SEO Montreal™ launches and hosts your website, so you have a single point of contact from the quote until after launch. Your quote details what hosting includes and, for a redesign, how the move from your current host works. The WordPress site goes live on this hosting once the mockup and copy are approved.
Yes. Based in Montreal, SEO Montreal™ takes on website projects from every region of Quebec, from Gatineau to Gaspé. Keyword research starts from your market: the cities where you serve your customers (Laval or Trois-Rivières, for example) and the searches specific to your industry.
