Web Design in Montréal, Bilingual From the First Line

Samro Studios is a Montréal web design studio building custom, hand-coded websites and AI automations for local businesses. We work in English and Québec French, so your site satisfies Bill 96 expectations from the first line of code. Custom websites run $895 to $1,795, one time, or subscription plans start at $99 a month with the full build included, and you approve your finished site before it goes live. Love your site or pay nothing.

Who builds bilingual websites in Montréal?

Plenty of shops will add a language toggle. Fewer write the French themselves. Samro Studios is based in Montréal and builds both languages as first-class versions of the page: the same care in the French copy, the same metadata, the same headings written the way a francophone would actually ask the question.

Every site is hand-coded on a real stack. No Wix, no Squarespace, no WordPress theme, which matters more in a bilingual build because translation plugins are where most Montréal sites quietly fall apart.

Does my Montréal website have to be in French?

If you sell to Québec consumers, French is not optional. The Charter of the French language, tightened by Bill 96, requires commercial communication to be available in French, and it has to be at least as prominent as the other language. A half-translated site is a liability, not a feature.

  • French first, English beside it. We treat French as the default version, not the afterthought version.
  • Real French URLs. Your francophone pages get francophone addresses, so they can rank on their own terms.
  • Written, not run through a translator. Québec French, professional register, correct typography.

How much does a website cost in Montréal?

Custom websites run $895 to $1,795, paid once at signing, or subscription plans start at $99 a month on a 12-month term. Samro Support comes either way, for the life of your site with us. A bilingual build is not a surcharge line item, it is scoped in the quote like everything else. Tell us about your project and we get you a custom quote in just a few clicks.

Software projects, internal tools and automations get scoped separately at customquote.samrostudios.com.

What is different about designing for a Montréal audience?

Montréal readers switch languages mid-sentence and notice immediately when a site does not. They also notice when the French sounds like it came from France, when the address format is wrong, or when the toggle throws them back to the home page instead of the page they were reading. Those small failures cost trust faster than a dated layout does.

We build the toggle to keep you on the same page, keep the language choice sticky across visits, and carry it through to the quote tool so a francophone never gets bounced into an English form.

What we build for Montréal businesses

Four services, all written from scratch, all available in both languages.

Custom web design

Marketing sites, online stores with real checkout, booking systems and lead funnels, coded for your brand rather than adapted from a theme.

AI automations

Instant-quote flows like the one on this site, intake forms that qualify and route leads, and automated follow-up that runs without anyone remembering it.

Bilingual builds

Québec French and English in one codebase: real French URLs, translated metadata, sticky language choice, correct Québec typography.

Samro Support

Included with every build, subscription or one-time, for the life of your site with us: security and daily backups with same-day fixes, unlimited changes in 24 to 48 hours, automatic Google review requests with replies written for you, monthly Google and AI visibility checks in both languages, a plain-English scoreboard, and a person who answers. Hosting is bundled into the price on a subscription, or a standard $20/mo add-on starting 30 days after payment on a one-time build.

Montréal web design: questions we get asked

Are you actually based in Montréal?

Yes. Samro Studios Inc. is a Montréal studio, and Montréal is where every site we ship is written. We work with clients across Canada and the United States remotely, but the French on our bilingual builds is written here, not outsourced.

Will my site comply with Bill 96 language requirements?

We build French as a full version of every page, at least as prominent as the English, with French metadata and French URLs. That is the structure the Charter asks for. We are not lawyers, so anything unusual in your sector is worth confirming with yours.

Can you translate my existing Montréal website into French?

Usually the honest answer is a rebuild. Retrofitting a second language onto a theme built for one is where most of the cost and most of the bugs come from. A rebuild costs the same as a new build, and your existing content and URLs come with it.

How long does a bilingual Montréal build take?

Two to three weeks for most projects, the same as a single-language site. Both languages are written during the design phase, so nothing waits on translation. You approve your finished site before it goes live. Love your site or pay nothing.

What does a Montréal website cost per month after launch?

On a one-time build, $20 a month for hosting, starting 30 days after your payment. Subscriptions already bundle hosting into the monthly price. Beyond that, nothing extra for the site itself: Samro Support is included with every build, subscription or one-time, for the life of your site with us, starting 30 days after launch. It covers security and daily backups with same-day fixes, unlimited changes in 24 to 48 hours, an automatic Google review engine with replies drafted for you, monthly Google and AI visibility checks in French and English, a plain-English scoreboard, and a person who answers. The one optional add-on is SEO/AEO Management at $49 a month: Google Business Profile management and a monthly SEO and AEO audit meeting, month to month, cancel anytime.

Do you work with Montréal restaurants, clinics and shops?

Yes. Local businesses usually need three things working properly: bilingual pages, a booking or ordering path that does not lose people, and a site that loads fast on a phone. That is most of what we build, and it is scoped in the live quote.
