    That looks fantastic! Do you have an English site as well? Many sites for businesses in countries with multiple languages have a way to toggle back and forth between websites in the different languages.

    As far as SEO, it looks like you have your keywords in bold and in your headlines, so that's a good start. Are you backlinking to this site?

      No unfortunately I didn't put an English version of my website. This is a good point there because I wasn't sure to include the multilangual feature as I was targeting most likely Canadian french audience. But I noticed in google analytics that I had 200visits from Us-English.
      Does anyone knows a way of including this feature without creating each page individually in HTML? I'm using my own made PHP platform for this website. So for sure there's no plugin I can use like on WP.

      Any suggestions?

    One way to maximize on page seo is to use a plugin called seo pressor. I use this with all my sites and it makes on page seo so much easier and lets you know what needs doing kind of like a checklist - giving you a percentage score which should always be 100% for the best results. Hope that Helps , your site looks great

    I thought people only spoke French in the movies. You mean this is a real language? Surely, you are joking!

    Surprisingly I was able to read your site even though I haven't practiced speaking French for over 3 years.

    Awesome design. It looks great. Though, I highly advice that you add an English option version as well. This is the internet, why limit your services to French speakers only?

      Thanks Dash for looking at my website. I will definitively make an English version and post it back there

      Any Idea why I got a PR2 for my homepage and PR3 for the rest of the website?

    Beaucoup de fautes: you have many mistakes which, I believe, have nothing to do with Canadian French (although I must admit I only know French and Swiss French): optimization (correct: optimisation); top 5 du classement sur sur le long; Comment ce passe le processus (correct: Comment se passe le processus) etc. etc. Have it reviewed by a native French language teacher.

    I would prefer more colors. The scheme is a bit dull. The flash effects are OK; they convey the message "we are expensive", though!

    On the contact page, the phone number is very small at the bottom. Not sure if it is intentional?

    The Facebook pull-out is annoying.

    Do you know which keywords you are targeting? That's the starting point. Then you can use them as page titles, menubar titles, meta tags, in your meta description. If you add a blog, so you can talk to your readers, you can use your keywords in the titles for articles.

    You can't optimise a site from an seo point of view until you've decided which keywords you are optimising for. Good internal linking helps too. So if, for example, you have an article about "web design in Montreal", you can use that term elsewhere and link it to your article.

    I like the design. Clean, easy to navigate and the home page tells you straight away what it is that you do.

      Thanks you all for your advices.
      @monstrapecuniam Yes I will correct those mistakes, thanks for pointing out, I'll find a french corrector. Merci de partagé vos goûts concernant le design graphique.

      @rosetrees Yes I know the keywords i'm targeting "Agence web Montreal" is the first one. I created a blog accessible there www.maurisource.com/blog/ So you're telling me to create a Post for example with those keywords as title "Agence web Montreal" Thanks you for sharing, if you have other tips for me I would be glad you can help me out with SEO. We can do link exchange. PM me

      @Anton Zaleski Thanks i'm actually working on an English version on this very same website and will let u know

    Yes, English would be good. :-) I can speak, read and write French (not perfectly!), but as an anglophone I'd want to be able to read your site in my mother tongue. It just makes it easier for me to understand.

    Let me put it this way: I was going to suggest you put a portfolio link up at the top; not realizing that "réalisations" means portfolio. :-)

    Oh, and in terms of English keywords. I'd be typing in Montreal web designer, web designer in Montreal, Montreal area web designer. Don't forget people on the South Shore, Laval, etc. who might want to hire somebody locally.

    Go through and study a seo checklist, you should be able to find a decent one here. Make sure you got the basics covered.

    You have a decent looking site, I think if you could get a translated site you would increase your rankings organically as well.
