[ Portneuf · Jacques-Cartier · Québec ]

A web developer right here in Portneuf, not three hours away.

I am based in Pont-Rouge. Businesses here should not have to choose between working with someone nearby and working with someone who genuinely knows the craft.

Book a call 30 min · no commitment

For 17 years I have been building web platforms for clients across Québec and beyond. I live in Pont-Rouge, and I regularly watch local businesses go looking in Québec City, sometimes Montréal, for expertise that already sits a few minutes down the road.

[ Services ]

What I have to offer you.

Custom sites and platforms
You start from a blank page and walk away with a platform that holds. End to end design and development, on the technologies that genuinely serve your project rather than the ones in fashion. Built to evolve over time.
Online stores
Your store stops being boxed in by its template. Shopify, headless architecture when performance and real customisation genuinely matter.
Recovery and modernisation
You take back control of a site you no longer master. Joomla, WordPress or custom: audit, migration, upgrade, hardening. Including when the previous provider has gone quiet.
Automation and integrations
You stop redoing by hand what a machine does better. Your tools connected to each other, your data processed, and AI where it genuinely saves you time.

[ Service area ]

Your place is just around the corner.

I travel within this radius. Everywhere else in Québec and Canada, everything runs remotely, as it does for most of my clients.

[ Frequently asked ]

What people ask me most.

Do you work exclusively with businesses in the region?

Of course not. My clients are across Québec, Canada and internationally, and distance has never held a project back. But Portneuf is home. I live here and I know the local business landscape. For a company from here, that means someone reachable, who can come and meet your team when the project deserves it rather than settling everything through a screen.

Do we have to meet in person to get started?

No. Most of my projects run perfectly well remotely. That said, on a structural project a first meeting on site is often worth three calls, and I am always open to that locally.

What kinds of projects do you take on?

Brochure sites and custom platforms, Shopify stores, business applications, recovery of existing sites, process automation and AI integration. From a small company site to a complex platform.

What does a website cost in this region?

It depends entirely on the need, and quoting a price before understanding the project helps no one. A first thirty minute call is usually enough to frame an honest range, with no commitment.

Can you take over a site someone else built?

Yes, it is a significant part of my work. I regularly step into legacy sites, including when documentation is missing or the previous provider has gone quiet.

You work alone: what happens if you are no longer available?

That is the right question to ask an independent, and it deserves a straight answer. The code is yours, it lives in your repository, built on widespread and documented technologies. Nobody is locked in: another developer can pick the work up without starting over. It is also why I take on only a few mandates at a time.

[ Let's talk ]

Shall we talk?

Thirty minutes to pin down what you need and tell you honestly whether I am the right person to solve it.
