Web design and e-commerce for Ottawa businesses

Ottawa is the one Ontario market where English alone is often not enough. Firms selling to federal departments, or to customers on both sides of the river in Gatineau, need a site that works properly in English and French rather than a translation bolted on afterwards. We build bilingual from the structure up, with separate URLs and correct language tagging for each version, so both sides rank on their own terms instead of competing with each other.

FAQ

Web design in Ottawa: common questions

How much does a website cost in Ottawa?
A marketing site or landing page starts at $1,200 CAD, and a Shopify store or B2B portal starts at $2,900. The exact number depends on how many pages you need, whether the design is custom from scratch, and what has to connect to it (payments, CRM, inventory). You get a fixed range before any work starts, so there is no open-ended hourly bill.
How long does a new website take?
A focused landing page is usually 2 to 3 weeks. A full marketing site runs 4 to 6 weeks, and an online store or B2B portal 6 to 10 weeks depending on catalogue size and integrations. The slowest part is almost always content and photography on your side, so we tell you up front exactly what we need and when.
Can you build the site in both English and French?
Yes, and this is a large part of what we do in Ottawa. Both languages get their own addresses and correct language tagging, so Google treats them as two properly indexed versions of the site rather than duplicate content. Navigation, forms and error messages are translated too, not just the marketing copy, which is where most bilingual sites quietly fall apart.
Do you work with Ottawa businesses remotely?
Yes. We are remote-first and work with Ottawa businesses over calls, shared documents and previews you can click through at any point. You see the site taking shape rather than waiting for a big reveal, and everything is handed over in writing so nothing lives only in someone's head.
Should I use Shopify or a custom build?
If you sell physical products to consumers, Shopify is usually the right answer: payments, taxes and shipping are solved, and we build a custom theme so it does not look like a template. If you sell B2B with negotiated pricing, gated catalogues or quote flows, a custom build is normally the better fit. We will tell you honestly which one your case needs, even when it is the cheaper one.
