A beautiful site,

budgets.
We’re two. Charlie on code, Marine on design, 10 years of craft each. We live in Verdun, and we build sites for neighbourhood shops that look truly like them : hand-stitched, super personal, never the same twice. $400 all-in, delivered in 1 to 2 days. And if you want us to drop by for a coffee, we’re five minutes away.
Never a template.

How it works.
We arrive with your site already built. Really. Before even reaching out, we take the time to understand your story: the shop, its founders, what makes it different. Then we build the site around that. You look, we adjust, it ships two days later. AI helps us go fast ; the hand, the taste, and the visit, that’s still us.
We tell your story
We read everything we can find about you : Google reviews, photos, your storefront, the founders' story, what makes your shop unique. Then we code and design a site that looks REALLY like you, not like an agency template. Before even reaching out.
We come show you
We swing by your shop with a phone and a coffee. You look at the site on the spot. If you like it, we keep going. If not, no commitment.
We adjust with you
Colors, words, photos, sections. We code in parallel. AI helps us move fast, but we make the calls. You see progress live on a preview URL.
It's live
Site deployed, indexed on Google, present in AI search. You leave with a real neighbourhood tool. And our number for whenever something changes.
One flat fee.
No add-ons.
No “starter at X with options at Y”. You pay $400 (+ Quebec taxes GST & QST — ~$460 all-in), you get a complete site, live, yours. That’s it.
The flat fee
- Complete custom site
- Effective local SEO, well-ranked on Google, fast to load
- Clean code, Lighthouse 95+
- Mobile-first, built for customers on the street
- 10 years of craft (Charlie on code, Marine on design)
- Adjustments until you're happy
- We're in Verdun, we can drop by
The real questions.
"$400 only, why so cheap?"+
Two of us, in Verdun, no office, no salesperson. We live in the neighbourhood, no need to bill you for Plateau-level rent. And we use AI to move fast: what used to take an agency two weeks takes us two days, without cutting corners. ($400 is before tax; GST + QST apply, like everywhere in Quebec.)
"Can we really meet in person?"+
Yes, and we'd rather. We're five minutes away. We swing by your shop with a phone, show you the site on the spot, share a coffee. Not required, but it's simpler and warmer than a Zoom.
"What if I don’t like what you show me?"+
We start over. Included. We only invoice once you’re happy. The risk is on us, not on you.
"You use AI, isn’t that just copy-paste?"+
No. AI helps us go fast (generate sections, code, variants), but we decide every detail: colour, word, photo. The result is built for you, not for a hundred other shops. Our ten years of experience is knowing what to keep and what to throw out.
"What kind of experience do you have?"+
Charlie spent ten years coding for big companies. Marine spent ten years designing products for startups and brands. We learned what works, and what's just polish. Now we put that to work for the neighbourhood.
Want to meet?
Email us your shop’s name. If we’re in the neighbourhood we’ll drop by within the week with a first version of your site. Otherwise we’ll send it over. No commitment, just a coffee.
