Question 1

What is the difference between WordPress, Webflow, and Custom Development?

Accepted Answer

WordPress is the world's most popular CMS (Content Management System), powering 43% of all websites globally. It is ideal for SMBs that want to update their content easily without touching code. It offers maximum flexibility via an ecosystem of thousands of plugins. The downside: it requires constant maintenance (plugin updates) and can be vulnerable to hacks if neglected. Webflow is a modern no-code platform that allows for visually stunning, complex designs with blazing-fast performance. It natively handles hosting via a global CDN and requires far less technical maintenance. It is the premium choice for elegant corporate sites. Custom development (React, Next.js, or HTML/JS) is reserved for highly specific needs not covered by standard CMS platforms: complex web applications, personalized customer portals, or heavy e-commerce. ABCnumérique recommends the technology that fits your actual needs—not just the one we prefer to sell.

Question 2

How much does it cost to build a professional website?

Accepted Answer

The cost of a professional website for a Canadian SMB varies based on the project's complexity. A standard 5 to 10-page corporate site (Home, Services, About Us, Contact) typically ranges between $3,500 and $7,000 CAD. A website requiring advanced features (custom blogs, client portals, complex intake forms, CRM/calendar integrations) usually falls between $7,000 and $15,000. E-commerce platforms or custom-built web applications generally start at $15,000. These prices include premium UX/UI design, development, technical SEO, and full Law 25 compliance. Monthly maintenance (hosting, updates, proactive support) is available starting at $200/month. Note: Our "SMB Essential" Package ($1,800/month) includes an entire professional website redesign alongside managed IT services—making it an exceptional value for businesses needing both.

Question 3

How long does the web design process take?

Accepted Answer

For a standard corporate site of 5 to 10 pages, expect a 6 to 8-week timeline from the kickoff meeting to launch day. The breakdown is roughly: 1 week for strategy and architecture, 1 to 2 weeks for wireframes and visual UI mockups, 3 to 4 weeks for actual development and content integration, and 1 week for QA testing and deployment. Factors that frequently delay completion include: content (text/images) provided late by the client, excessive design revision rounds, or late-stage feature requests. To counter this, ABCnumérique provides a structured content collection guide on Day 1. For absolute emergencies, a simplified online presence can be rushed and launched in 3 weeks (expedition fees apply).

Question 4

Will my new website be compliant with Quebec's Law 25?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is one of our fundamental commitments. Every single website we build or redesign is delivered natively compliant with Law 25. Practically, this means we implement: a robust privacy policy adapted to your data collection practices (accessible from the footer of every page), a strict cookie consent banner configured to block non-essential tracking scripts until explicit user consent is given, Google Analytics 4 setup in "Consent Mode v2" to preserve data without violating privacy laws, and documented data handling flows for all your contact forms. Retrofitting a non-compliant site is expensive; building it compliant from the ground up costs less and prevents headaches. We include it by default.

Question 5

What are "Core Web Vitals" and why should I care?

Accepted Answer

Core Web Vitals are a set of standardized performance metrics defined by Google to measure the real-world user experience of a web page. They focus on three main indicators: LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) — how fast the largest element loads (the target is under 2.5 seconds); INP (Interaction to Next Paint) — how quickly the page responds to user clicks (target: under 200 ms); and CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift) — visual stability (buttons shouldn't randomly jump around while the page loads). You should care for two massive reasons: 1. Google uses Core Web Vitals as a direct SEO ranking factor. A fast site will outrank a slow competitor. 2. They dictact conversions. Every additional second of loading time slashes your conversion rate by roughly 7%. ABCnumérique guarantees a Core Web Vitals score above 90 for every custom site we deliver.

Question 6

You build the site, but who writes the actual text?

Accepted Answer

This is the most common bottleneck in web design. By default, providing the raw textual content (the words on the pages) is the client's responsibility, as nobody knows your business, your tone, and your specific expertise better than you do. However, we don't leave you stranded. We provide a comprehensive content guide detailing exactly what we need, complete with templates outlining the recommended length and angle for each page. If writing isn't your forte, we offer a "Done-For-You Copywriting" add-on. In this scenario, our copywriters interview you for an hour, extract your knowledge, and write the entire website for you. Regardless of who writes the first draft, our SEO experts will always review and optimize the final text before launch.
