A Quebec store is a different brief from a store in the rest of Canada, and an agency that has only shipped English stores can miss it. This guide lists the agencies on the Canada ranking with a Quebec base on record, sets out what two Quebec government pages require, and says which agency fits which project. Every fact is as read on 22 September 2026.
Who is in Quebec on record
| Agency | Quebec base on record | Languages stated | Magento share of eCommerce work (Clutch) | Minimum (Clutch) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MageMontreal | 195 Rue Brissette, Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts (Clutch, its only location) | English and French (Clutch) | 70% | $5,000 |
| OptiWeb Marketing | 8500 Decarie Boulevard, Mont-Royal, Quebec (its site and Clutch) | English and French (Clutch) | 35% | $5,000 |
| scandiweb | Canada page: practice run from Montreal on Eastern Time, Michael Bliah, VP North America; Toronto page: no Toronto office | None stated on the Canada page | 70% | $25,000 |
| Kinex Media | None; Mississauga, Ontario | English and Hindi (Clutch) | 70% | $5,000 |
| Bellwood | None; Atlanta with a Toronto office | English (Clutch) | 30% | $25,000 |
| Kodershop | None; Toronto | None stated | 10% | Undisclosed on Clutch |
What a Quebec store must do
The Office québécois de la langue française states that a business active in Quebec must offer its products and services in French, that consumers have the right to a complete French version of the business's website, that commercial publications including websites must be written in French, and that all information on a product or its packaging must be in French, with French clearly predominant in public signage and advertising. Its business page adds that the law on the official and common language of Quebec, French, brought new obligations into force on 1 June 2025 on the display of trademarks and business names and on trademarks on products. In Magento that is a French store view with its own catalog attributes, emails, and checkout copy, not a translation plugin.
The Commission d'accès à l'information sets out Law 25 in stages, and the September 2023 stage is the one that shapes a storefront: a person responsible for personal information must be designated with their title and contact details published online; a privacy policy in simple and clear terms must be on the website; consent must be manifest, free, informed, and for specific purposes, each consented to separately; a privacy impact assessment is required before personal information leaves Quebec; a register of confidentiality incidents must be kept; and technologies that identify, locate, or profile a person may not be activated by default. That last rule gates analytics, personalization, and advertising tags behind consent.
MageMontreal, the French-first option
MageMontreal is the Quebec Magento specialist on this site: its Clutch profile lists English and French, its homepage describes a bilingual team, and its office is in Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts, not in Montreal as the July edition said. Clutch lists a founding year of 2007, 10 to 49 employees, 17 reviews at 4.7, Magento at 70% of its platform work, 65% mid-market clients, and 15% manufacturing, with a $5,000 minimum and $150 to $199 an hour. DesignRush describes its Senior Tech Lead as Adobe Commerce certified and lists Stone Tile, Valmont Cosmetics, and Crystal Clear Bags among its clients. Its own homepage, read on 23 September 2026, shows an Adobe Solution Partner Silver badge and describes a bilingual team, but states no case result, so no case with a number is on record and a merchant should ask for two.
scandiweb, run from Montreal for the larger build
scandiweb's Canada page says its Canadian practice is run from Montreal on Eastern Time, with Michael Bliah, VP North America, as the local contact, and describes Adobe Commerce builds, migrations, and support for Canadian retailers on sprint-based roadmaps of three to six months. It names JYSK Canada, Moose Knuckles, and PUMA, and its blog names Wainbee, a Canadian distributor where a Pimcore PIM was connected to its Magento store after only 10% of more than 600,000 products had been online. The page states no French delivery, so a merchant who wants the project run in French should ask. Clutch lists a $25,000 minimum and two locations, New York and Riga.
OptiWeb Marketing, the small-store generalist in Mont-Royal
OptiWeb Marketing has an address on Decarie Boulevard in Mont-Royal, Quebec, and its site describes itself as a Montreal agency. Its site lists SEO, paid search, and eCommerce development with Shopify, WordPress, Magento, and WooCommerce as platforms, states 15 years in business and 50+ technical experts, and shows a Google Partner badge. Clutch lists a $5,000 minimum, $100 to $149 an hour, and Magento at 35% of its eCommerce work. Clutch lists English and French as its languages; it states no Adobe or Hyvä tier, and its Magento page carries no case with a number.
Which agency for which Quebec project
- A retailer or manufacturer who wants the whole project run in French at a mid-market size: MageMontreal
- A bilingual store with a PIM or ERP in scope, or more than one market: scandiweb, run from Montreal
- A small Montreal store still choosing between Magento, WooCommerce, and Shopify: OptiWeb Marketing
- A Quebec merchant who wants a hyva.io-listed Hyvä team: none is in the province; scandiweb at Platinum and Kinex Media at Silver are the two listed
Checklist for a bilingual build
- Ask how the French version is built; the answer is a second store view with its own catalog, emails, and checkout copy
- Ask which tags load before consent and how the default-off rule is met
- Ask where personal data is stored and whether an assessment covers data leaving Quebec
- Ask who the responsible person will be on the merchant's side and where the policy sits on the site
- Ask for the French and English content workflow after launch, month to month
- Ask for the names and certifications of the people staffed on the project, not the company total
