Loubane builds websites and search strategies for businesses in Quebec City and the surrounding region, including Lévis, Sainte-Foy, Charlesbourg, Beauport and L’Ancienne-Lorette. We are a Montreal web agency based at 3333 Cavendish Blvd, and we work with Quebec City clients entirely remotely, by video call, phone, WhatsApp and email. We do not have an office in Quebec City, and we have structured our process so that distance does not slow a project down.
Quebec City is a very different market from Montreal, and a website that works well in one does not automatically work in the other. Here is how we approach it.
A French-first market with a strong identity
Quebec City is overwhelmingly French-speaking. For most local businesses, customers search, read and make decisions in French. That makes the quality of your French content more important than almost anything else on your site. Text that reads like a translation from English, or that uses expressions from France rather than Quebec, can make a local business feel distant.
We write and review content in natural Quebec French, with vocabulary your customers actually use. Searches like “concepteur site web Québec”, “agence SEO Québec” or “plombier Charlesbourg” are far more common than their English equivalents, and your pages should reflect that.
Quebec’s Charter of the French language also applies to the commercial websites of businesses operating in the province, so a complete French version is not optional. Our article on Quebec French language rules for business websites explains the main points to keep in mind.
Three types of local economy
The Quebec City economy is broad, but three groups of businesses often have distinct website needs.
Professional and government-related services
As the provincial capital, Quebec City has a large number of professional firms, consultants, associations and suppliers that work with public institutions. These organisations need credible, well-structured sites that explain their expertise clearly and are easy to navigate. Accessibility and clear documentation often matter as much as visual design.
Tourism and hospitality
Old Quebec, the Winter Carnival, Montmorency Falls and the surrounding countryside draw visitors throughout the year. Hotels, restaurants, tour operators and boutiques need sites that work for both locals and visitors. That often means French first, with English and sometimes Spanish versions for international travellers, plus seasonal content that matches how people plan trips.
Neighbourhood services
Dentists, contractors, garages, daycares and shops in areas like Limoilou, Saint-Roch, Sainte-Foy or Lévis mostly serve customers within a short drive. For them, local SEO and an accurate Google Business Profile usually bring the most value.
Services that fit Quebec City businesses
Depending on your goals, we typically combine a few of the following:
- Website design: a fast, clear WordPress site written in Quebec French, with optional English. See our website design service.
- SEO: keyword research in French, technical improvements and content planning through our SEO service.
- Multilingual sites: for tourism and export businesses that need English, Spanish or other languages, our multilingual website service handles structure and indexing for each version.
- E-commerce: online stores on WooCommerce or Shopify with GST and QST settings and Canadian shipping, through our e-commerce service.
Our industries page describes how these services adapt to specific sectors such as health, hospitality, trades and professional services.
How remote collaboration works
Quebec City is about two and a half to three hours from Montreal by road, so we plan projects to run remotely from day one. In practice that looks like this:
- Video discovery session to understand your business, your customers and the searches that matter to you.
- Shared documents for content, so you can comment and approve text at your own pace.
- Staging previews of every page, accessible from any device.
- Regular check-ins by video or phone at key milestones.
- Training at launch, recorded if helpful, so your team can update the site.
After launch, you can manage the site yourself or rely on our website maintenance service for updates, backups and monitoring.
Why a Montreal agency for Quebec City?
There are excellent agencies in Quebec City, and choosing a local partner can make sense. Some businesses prefer to work with us because they need bilingual or multilingual expertise, because they sell across Quebec and want a partner familiar with both major markets, or simply because our approach fits their project. Whatever you decide, our guide on how to choose a web design agency lists the questions worth asking any agency.

Frequently asked questions
Do you have an office in Quebec City?
No. Our only office is at 3333 Cavendish Blvd in Montreal. We work with Quebec City clients through video calls, phone, WhatsApp, email and shared documents.
Do I need an English version of my website?
Not always. Many Quebec City businesses serve a mostly French-speaking clientele and do well with French only. Tourism businesses and companies selling outside Quebec often benefit from English and sometimes other languages.
Can you write content in Quebec French?
Yes. We write and review French content with Quebec vocabulary and usage in mind, rather than relying on automatic translation.
Will you need to visit our business?
Usually not. Photos, videos and information can be shared remotely. If professional photography is needed, we can discuss options during the proposal.
