Where to Look for a Freelance Website Designer in Montreal
This page is not a freelancer directory
People search for where to find freelance website designers in Montreal and often land on a list of names with no method. We will not invent that list, and we will not rank people we have not reviewed.
Referrals, a portfolio of live sites you can click, and a written scope are the practical sources. A profile photo and a star rating are not a test of the work.
What to check before you hire
Open the portfolio sites on a phone. Read the French if the designer says they write French. Ask who owns the domain, the accounts, and the files if the person stops answering. Ask for the price in Canadian dollars, what is extra, and whether GST or QST is included.
Get the page list, revision count, and launch tasks in writing before you pay a deposit. A deposit to a personal email with no scope is a weak record if something goes wrong.
A freelancer and a company are different contracts
A freelancer can be the right hire for a small, well-defined site. A company is a different party on the invoice. 514IT Consulting Solutions Inc. is a company, not a board of freelancers for hire, and not a placement service.
Our website work is quoted as the packages on /packages or as a written custom scope. You are contracting with the company named on that quote, at the address in Pointe-Claire published on the site.
French and the rest of the legal file
If the business has an establishment in Quebec, plan a French version of the site and check the current Charter rules with the Office québécois de la langue française or your own advisor. This article is not that advice.
The same limits apply whoever you hire: no guaranteed rankings, and the price is the written scope, not a headline.
