Start a project See our work

Aylmer is Gatineau's west end and its most anglophone sector, from the historic village core on rue Principale and the marina on Lac Deschênes to the fast-growing Plateau. Many residents commute to Ottawa over the Champlain Bridge, which means an Aylmer business is often competing with west Ottawa as much as with the rest of Gatineau.

The winning formula here is genuinely bilingual: French for the Quebec market and for the language law, English good enough that a Kanata customer never notices the site was built across the river. Home services, restaurants, wellness studios, clinics and real estate dominate local search in Aylmer.

Brand identity in Aylmer

Identity work for Aylmer starts with positioning and a verbal identity in both languages, so a French quote and an English web page sound like the same company. Then a logo system, colour, type and templates that hold up on a van, a storefront and a phone screen.

Web design in Aylmer

A website for a Aylmer business has to carry two languages without feeling translated, load fast on a phone, and rank for searches made a few streets away. We hand-code every site, structure the French and English versions with proper hreflang tags, and build the service and neighbourhood pages that local search rewards. In Aylmer that usually means a restaurant, clinic, real-estate team or home-services company serving both the village and the Plateau.

Questions from Aylmer businesses

Should an Aylmer business build in English or French first?

Both, with French fully present to satisfy Quebec's language requirements and English written natively for the commuter clientele. We build the two versions together rather than translating one from the other.

Do you work with businesses in the Plateau and Deschênes too?

Yes. Aylmer, the Plateau, Deschênes and Lucerne are all minutes from our studio, and we meet on site or remotely.

Does my Gatineau business need a French website?

Under Quebec's Charter of the French language, commercial content including websites must be available in French, and French must be at least as prominent as any other language. We build bilingual sites with French as a first-class version, not a translation added later.
