The studio
Senior design and engineering, in one place.
Molveau Studio is a small studio with the range of an agency. Every project gets 5+ years of full-stack engineering and product design — plus a background in cyberdefense engineering, so your site is secure by default, your data stays sovereign in Canada, and you're compliant with Québec's Law 25. Senior-level work, direct, without the agency overhead.
What you get
What we build
From a first website to the tools that run your business.
Every project starts as one of these. Detailed pricing is on the pricing page.
Showcase website
A professional site presenting your business, built to make people call or visit.
Website redesign
Your current site is slow, dated, or rented (Webflow, WordPress, Wix)? We rebuild it fast, and fully yours.
Online shop
An online store with card payments, ready to take orders.
Booking system
Customers book directly on your site — no phone tag, no back-and-forth emails.
SEO & analytics
Your site built to rank in search, with your own analytics to see what's working.
Custom web app
Software to run part of your business — scheduling, billing, or tracking — beyond a marketing site.
How it works
From idea to booked, in four steps.
We handle the details, so you get a smooth ride to a site that works.
Audit
We run a free teardown of your site — speed, SEO, mobile, booking flow — with a plan for the fastest wins.
Restructure
We restructure the pages, navigation, and words around what converts — mobile-first, bilingual, on brand.
Build
We build it clean and bilingual, fully yours, with your own analytics wired in from the very first day.
Track
We launch it, then track what converts to keep improving the site every month with your real data.
Case study
One launch, three things worth knowing.
A look at Liveo Mascouche — a real build, not a mockup.
The problem
Liveo is a new rental-condo project in Mascouche that needed to fill its units before opening. It needed a fast, bilingual site with unit listings the client could edit without calling a developer every time a price or an availability changed.
What was built
- Self-edit CMS (Payload)
- Bilingual FR/EN listings
- Unit availability pages
- Contact & booking form
What the site tracks
The site tracks rental inquiries and call clicks.
Under the hood
Built with the same tools serious products run on.
The technologies behind every build — and what each one gets you.
- Next.js
Built to load fast.
- React
An interface that reacts instantly to every click.
- Three.js
3D scenes and effects a template site can't do.
- Tailwind CSS
A consistent look on every page and every screen size.
- Framer Motion
Smooth transitions that make the site feel premium.
- Payload CMS
Powers a simple admin so you can edit your own text and photos.
- Stripe
Secure card payments, trusted by millions of businesses.
- MongoDB
Your data stays organized as your business grows.
- Vercel
The site stays online, worldwide.
The honest comparison
Wix, Squarespace, WordPress.com — or something built for you?
A rented platform wins on two things. Here are the six that matter.
| Criterion | A rented platform (Wix, Squarespace, WordPress.com) | A custom build |
|---|---|---|
| Code ownership | You are renting — the code and the platform never belong to you | Code, content, domain and data: entirely yours |
| Upfront cost | Very low — about $20 a month to start | Projects start at $3,500 |
| Time to launch | Can be live as soon as tomorrow | Generally 2 to 6 weeks, start to launch |
| What ships to every visitor | The page-builder's engine, shared across every site on the platform | Only the code that page needs |
| Law 25 compliance | A generic platform, not built for Québec's Law 25 | Compliant with Québec's Law 25 by design |
| What you own after five years | Nothing — five years of rent, and you still own nothing | The site itself — paid off, and yours even if you stop the care plan |
If a rented site genuinely fits your situation, we will say so rather than sell you something else.
Commitments
The same six things, on every project.
No exceptions — every commitment here already appears elsewhere on this site.
Full ownership
Code, content, domain and data are yours — completely, not rented from us.
No lock-in, ever
Stop the monthly plan whenever you want — we hand everything over and you host it wherever you like.
Canadian hosting, sovereign data
Hosted in Canada — no third-party platform holding your data hostage.
Law 25 compliance, built in
Every site meets Québec's Law 25 privacy requirements out of the box, not as an add-on.
Bilingual from day one
Both languages, content included — built for Québec from the start, not translated as an afterthought.
Your own analytics, reported monthly
Privacy-friendly analytics you own, plus a monthly report on what's actually driving customers.
Projects start at $3,500.
Monthly plans from $150 — hosting, security and improvements.
