We came from GoDaddy with a messy catalog and were dreading the move. Everything came across, the redirects held, and we did not lose a single wholesale account in the switch.

What we build
Six kinds of Shopify project we build in Montreal.
Most Montreal brands come to us for one of these. If your situation is a mix, we scope it as one project rather than splitting it into retainers.
New build
Store from scratch
A brand new Shopify store for a launching Montreal D2C brand. Structure, design, build, apps and a launch checklist.
Redesign
Existing store rebuild
Keep the catalogue and history, replace the theme and page structure with a Shopify store built to convert.
Migration
Move to Shopify
Shopify migration from WooCommerce, Wix, GoDaddy, Magento or BigCommerce. Products, customers, orders and redirects.
B2B
Wholesale & B2B
Company accounts, price lists, quantity rules and gated catalogues on Shopify B2B or Shopify Plus.
Custom
Sections & features
Custom Shopify theme sections, metaobject-driven content, bundles, configurators and swatch systems.
Speed
Performance work
App cleanup, image and script work, and theme surgery to pull Core Web Vitals back into green.
Why Montreal brands work with us
Built for the way Montreal brands actually sell.
In Quebec a store that only works in English is not just a missed audience, it is a compliance problem. Here is what that means for how we build.
Bilingual, done the way search can read it
French and English through Shopify Markets and proper translation, so each language has its own indexable pages rather than a script swapping words in the browser. Only the first kind gets found. We localised our own site into French through the Translations API.
Quebec language requirements taken seriously
Quebec's language rules apply to commercial websites, and the French version cannot be an afterthought bolted on later. We build both languages into the structure from the start. We are not your legal advisor on this and will say where you need one.
Selling into the rest of Canada and the US
Markets handles CAD and USD pricing, per-country shipping and duties at checkout, so growing past Quebec does not mean rebuilding.
We work your morning
Reviews, approvals and launch-day fixes land inside Eastern hours rather than turning up the next day.

Client reviews
What clients say after launch.
The first one is a migration off GoDaddy. Ask and we will connect you with any of them directly.
★★★★★
B2B on Shopify is not simple and most agencies we spoke to did not really understand price lists or company accounts. This team did, and they said upfront what they would not attempt.
★★★★★
As a nonprofit our budget was fixed and we said so. They scoped to it instead of quoting up, and the donation flow works on a phone, which was the whole point.
★★★★★
The redesign and the brand identity came out of the same team, so nothing felt bolted on. Ads started a month later and we were already set up to measure them properly.
★★★★★
Klaviyo flows we had ignored for a year got rebuilt in a fortnight. Repeat orders are now a line on the report we actually look at.
★★★★★
I was learning ecommerce from a course and had no idea what to ask for. They walked me through each decision rather than just building what I said, which saved me from a few bad calls.
Questions
Shopify development in Montreal, answered.
Do you work with Shopify brands based in Montreal?
Yes. We work with D2C brands across Montreal and remotely across Canada. Our offices are in Los Angeles and New Delhi rather than Montreal, so there is no walk-in address here, but we hold Eastern hours for calls, reviews and launch days.
How long does a Shopify build take?
Two to three weeks for most stores, from kickoff to launch. Large catalogues, B2B setups and multi-market stores take longer, and we say so in the scope before you sign.
How much does a Shopify build cost?
Every quote is flat and fixed to the scope, so there is no hourly billing to watch. Share your store or brief and we send one number with the scope attached before anything starts.
Can you migrate my store to Shopify?
Yes. We handle Shopify migrations from WooCommerce, Wix, Squarespace, Magento and BigCommerce, including products, customers, order history and a full 301 redirect map so your Montreal search rankings hold through the move.
Can you build the store in French and English?
Yes. Both languages as proper translated storefronts with their own URLs and metadata, managed from one admin. We did the French localisation of our own site through Shopify's Translations API and run a German store with local legal requirements.
Do you work with Shopify Plus?
Yes, including B2B on Plus, Markets for multi-currency selling and Shopify Flow for automation. Those projects are quoted per scope rather than from a starting price.
Do I own the theme afterwards?
Yes. The theme, the code and the store are yours. We hand over full admin access and a walkthrough so your team can edit sections without coming back to us.
Which Montreal areas do you serve?
Downtown Montreal, Plateau Mont-Royal, Mile End, Old Montreal, Griffintown, Outremont, Laval and Longueuil, plus remote clients across Canada.
