Website design in Trois-Rivières, by a team on boulevard du Saint-Maurice
We build sites for SMBs, manufacturing shops, professional firms and stores in Trois-Rivières. Scoping happens face to face, at your place or at our office, and the same team then takes care of the design, the copy, SEO and hosting.
In Trois-Rivières, website design can be handled by OKTO Solutions, whose only office is at 994 boulevard du Saint-Maurice. Scoping takes place in person. The team then takes on the design, the copy, local SEO and hosting, so the site shows up in searches made in the city and across the Mauricie.
A local team
Why have your site built by a team in Trois-Rivières?
Because we can sit down at the same table. OKTO Solutions has a single office in Quebec, at 994 boulevard du Saint-Maurice, and that is where your site takes shape. The scoping meeting happens at your place or ours, with your photos, your typical quotes and the questions your customers ask on the phone. We see the shop floor, the showroom or the office before writing a single line. That changes the copy. A page written by someone who came on site talks about the work you really do, in the words people around here use, instead of generic phrases that could fit any business. And when a photo is missing or a correction is urgent, we are only a few minutes away by car. The team you meet at the start is the same one that answers afterwards.
- In-person scoping, at the office or at your premises
- Copy written after seeing the business
- A team you can reach Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The city name in the title and a page that opens fast: that is what gets a site to show up in a local search.
By type of business
What does a Trois-Rivières business website need?
A shop in the Carrefour 40-55 and a firm on rue des Forges do not have the same customers, so they do not need the same site. Here is what we put forward depending on the kind of business we come across most often in town.
| Type of business | What its customer is looking for | What the site has to show |
|---|---|---|
| Manufacturing shop | A part, a process, a production capacity | Catalogue, technical sheets, quote request and a careers page for hiring. |
| Aerospace and electronics | A subcontractor that meets a prime contractor’s requirements | Capabilities described precisely, equipment, documents to download. |
| Logistics near the port or the airport | A carrier or a warehouse in the region | Services offered, territory covered, a short quote form. |
| Professional firm on des Forges or Notre-Dame | An accountant, a notary or a land surveyor close to home | One page per service, the team introduced, a secure document drop. |
| Clinic or organization near UQTR and the Cégep | The hours, the address, an appointment | Online booking and forms that comply with Law 25. |
Possible features, from an online store to a client portal, are detailed on the website design page. For a more advanced tool, see app development.
The process
How does a website project with our office work?
Six steps, and the first one happens around a table. You see the site on a preview address well before it goes public.
-
We meet
At the boulevard du Saint-Maurice office or at your place. We talk about your customers, your competitors in town and what the site has to bring in.
-
The scope goes in writing
List of pages, languages, copy to write, schedule. That document is what we use to prepare the quote.
-
A mockup in your colours
The home page and one service page, with real copy. We adjust the tone and the style while they are still easy to change.
-
The pages get built
Each page is written, checked on phone, tablet and computer, then put on the preview address so you can read it.
-
The old site is carried over
Your copy and your images come along. Each old address is redirected to its new page, to keep what Google already knows.
-
Launch and follow-up
The site switches over in one move. We then look at which searches bring people in and rework the pages that do not rank.
With every published change, SEO, backup and display on three screens are checked again.
Hosting and follow-up
Who looks after the site once it is online?
We do, not a stranger. A published site is not a finished site: it lives on our servers, backed up and monitored by the team that already manages complete IT environments in town. The person who built your pages also knows your domain name and your email. When a form stops sending its messages, you do not have to guess who to call. 450 231-3836 rings at the office, and the problem gets fixed in one place. Every addition, whether a page, a service or a photo, updates what Google, Bing and answer engines read. The domain name stays in your name.
- Hosting on our servers, with backups and monitoring
- A visual editor to change a piece of text or a photo yourself
- The same people as for your IT services in Trois-Rivières
Local searches
How does a site show up in searches made in Trois-Rivières?
Someone looking for a supplier almost always adds a place to the search. So the site has to say clearly where you work, page by page.
The city’s districts
Cap-de-la-Madeleine, Trois-Rivières-Ouest, Sainte-Marthe-du-Cap, Pointe-du-Lac. If you work there, the site says so, with copy specific to each district rather than a list of names at the bottom of the page.
Neighbouring cities
Bécancour, Louiseville and Shawinigan are less than 45 km from the office. One page per city served, written for it. The regional picture is on our IT services in the Mauricie page.
The same contact details everywhere
Address, phone number and hours identical on the site, in the structured data and on the Google business profile. A number that changes from one place to another hurts you.
Where do you start?
Send us the address of your current site, or drop by the office with three sites you like. We will tell you what we would keep, what we would change and how much work that represents.
