Web Design in Québec City, French First
Samro Studios builds custom, hand-coded websites and AI automations for Québec City businesses from its Montréal studio. Here French is the primary version of the site and English is the secondary one, written properly in Québec French rather than translated at the end. Custom websites run $895 to $1,795 one time, or from $99 a month on a subscription plan. Love your site or pay nothing.
Does a Québec City website need to be in French?
Yes, and not as a translation layer. In Québec City the francophone version is the site. The Charter of the French language, strengthened by Bill 96, requires commercial communication to be available in French and at least as prominent as any other language, and your customers expect it long before the law does.
We write the French first and treat English as the second version, which is the reverse of how most agencies build. It changes the copy, the structure and the URLs.
Who builds French-first websites for Québec City businesses?
Samro Studios is a Montréal studio, so French is written in house in professional Québec register, with the typography Québec readers expect. Every site is hand-coded on a real stack rather than assembled from a theme, which is what keeps a bilingual site from breaking the first time you edit a page.
We are not based in Québec City and will not claim otherwise. Same province, same time zone, same language, and a finished site you approve in your browser before it goes live.
What is different about a Québec City audience?
Tourism and hospitality carry a bilingual visitor load that Montréal businesses can take for granted, and the provincial public sector shapes a large part of the professional market. That combination pushes a site in two directions at once.
- French for the local buyer, written naturally, because a translated-sounding page reads as an out-of-town operator.
- English for the visitor, complete rather than a summary page, especially for hotels, restaurants and tour operators.
- Seasonality that shows. Winter and summer offers should be a content change, not a rebuild.
- Booking that finishes in the visitor's language, including the confirmation email.

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.
Québec City web design: questions we get asked
Do you write the French yourselves or use a translator?
We write it. Samro Studios is a Montréal studio working in Québec French daily, professional register, correct typography. Machine translation is obvious to a Québec reader within a sentence or two, and it undermines the credibility the rest of the site is trying to build.
Will my Québec City site meet Bill 96 requirements?
We build the French version as a full site, at least as prominent as the English, with French URLs and French metadata. That is the structure the Charter asks for. We are not lawyers, so unusual sector requirements are worth confirming with yours.
Can visitors book in English while locals book in French?
Yes. The language choice follows the visitor through the whole flow, including the booking form and the confirmation email. Nobody gets bounced into the wrong language halfway through, which is where most bilingual reservation systems quietly lose bookings during peak season.
How much does a Québec City website cost?
Custom websites run $895 to $1,795 as a one-time investment, $895 for a growth site and $1,795 for e-commerce. Prefer to spread it out? Subscription plans start at $99 a month with the full custom build included. Love your site or pay nothing. Both languages are scoped inside the same quote rather than billed as two sites. Tell us about your project and we get you a custom quote in just a few clicks.
Do you have an office in Québec City?
No. Samro Studios is based in Montréal and works with Québec City clients remotely. Same province, same time zone and the same language, so the practical difference is that design approval happens in your browser rather than across a desk.
