Working with Montreal.

A small studio in Vancouver, working remotely with businesses in Montreal.

01

What we build for Montreal businesses

A manufacturer in Montreal might need a quote form: a drawing, a quantity and a date. A gallery or a theatre might need a catalogue in French and English, plus a way to book a visit or sell a ticket. A life-sciences company might need a product page and a sample request. A clean-technology firm might need an enquiry that explains the equipment. A digital studio might need a portfolio and a form that reaches the person who answers.

Websites, stores and apps are all in scope, with French and English on the cart and the receipt. We also repair a live Montreal site: a form that never arrives, a language switch that drops the order, or a checkout that calculates QST incorrectly.

A bilingual creative portfolio might need each project and enquiry path to remain understandable in the selected language. A product site should preserve language choice when a visitor opens details, reads a form error or reaches checkout. For an aerospace or life-sciences catalogue, specifications and approved claims need an editing owner in each language. These examples define practical implementation tasks rather than an assumed translation job. Test with deliberately different text lengths and a missing translation: the layout should still work, and the publication process should make the gap visible before a customer finds it.

How it works from Montreal

Montreal is three hours ahead of Vancouver in daylight time and two in standard time. Use the dated review invitation, then approve language journeys in a preview. Your translators and advisers supply the approved wording and requirements; we build the routes, controls and forms around them. A defined bilingual feature or full site can be quoted, and a localisation repair can be hourly. An agency may keep the client relationship. The scope identifies CAD billing and who publishes each language.

03

What your site should handle in Quebec

These items define technical implementation to agree with your business and advisers; this is not legal advice or certification.

  • For a business carrying on activities in Quebec, implement required French content across the approved pages and customer tasks, with translations supplied or approved by the business.
  • Law 25 work covers agreed privacy notices, contact details, consent choices and appropriate privacy settings. Test tracking against those choices; a cookie banner alone is not the scope.
  • Use the accountant-approved GST/QST and destination configuration. Where marketing email is included, implement the approved CASL signup and unsubscribe.

04

Our own work

ICD Atlas is our own reference app with ten interface languages, providing a concrete example of maintaining translated UI. Moonflower adds a Safari interface and Reader. Those products let us discuss language and platform constraints with real screens. Your website still needs separate content approval and testing in the languages commissioned.

05

Platforms we work with

For Montreal work we use WordPress, Shopify, WooCommerce, Webflow, Squarespace, Wix, Next.js, React, TypeScript, Swift, SwiftUI, Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, React Native and Flutter.

Ways to work with us

Built by us

We don’t show client logos. We show what we build and run ourselves — nine apps on the App Store, and this site.

Questions

Can you fix only the French-language journey?

Yes. Identify the pages, errors and checkout or enquiry steps affected. We can repair routing and presentation within the current system. Approved translations and the organisation’s requirements are inputs; review checks the full journey rather than only the homepage.

Who supplies translations and privacy wording?

Your business supplies or approves that content, with appropriate advisers where needed. We identify the strings and states requiring it, implement the approved choices and document gaps. Copy preparation or additional languages must be named in the scope.

How does a project start from Montreal?

Email mwe@hehe.software or use the contact form. Say what you sell in Montreal, whether the pages are French, English or both, and a date. We send a fixed quote or an hourly estimate. Paid discovery or a retainer is available.

Are quotes and invoices for Montreal in Canadian dollars?

Yes. Quotes and invoices for a Montreal business are in CAD. A US company is invoiced in USD, or as agreed.
