Every client is different. Just as no two clients are the same, no two solutions or recommendations from Le Site are the same. Each and every idea or concept is tailor made, with you, the client, in mind. Today’s online success is not measured by the launch of your new project, it is measured with strategy and maintenance to ensure that your web presence is up-to-date and providing the experience that your customers have come to expect from your organization. Over 50% of websites die after their initial launch or redesign due to a lack of strategic maintenance. SEO, advertising, email campaigns, the updating of social networks, and the addition of mobile commerce are musts. There are three essential steps in this follow-up phase:

At LeSite, we know that ongoing success is the only true success. Therefore, a continuous relationship with our clients is integral to all of our strategic planning.

Le Site becomes one with our clients and often these clients think of us as the extension of their business that is devoted to online success. Many organizations treat their clients as a number - or worse yet - a paycheck. Due to the involvement Le Site has with your organization, it is our realization that you, the client, are the most important factor for success. Your concerns are our concerns. We react quickly to clients' needs with the experience needed to drive all of the company's events, whether great or small, to a final successful resolution.

If you are looking for an organization to agree with you and hang on your every word, whether or not the idea is viable or will foster growth, Le Site may not be the organization for you. Bold ideas and execution have paved the way for many of our clients’ significant growth. We are not here to say "YES," we are here to challenge and to impart our guidance and experience. Think of us as the “internet doctor”. We are here to find the right cure for your organization. Just as a physician heals his patients, we use our intellect and experience to diagnose and treat all of our clients' needs.

Strategy well exceeds the preliminary phases and creation of your company’ online experience. We don’t stop at creation. Our strategist will assist you with a recommended path and creation of the framework that will then be applied to your online site, fostering success. From creation to site monitoring, Le Site is involved in every step of the process to ensure that each detail is in line with your company’s core objectives.

"If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea.
If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea."~ Tim Peters, The Zen of Python

We code from the heart first and the mind second. Programming is a technical art not unlike architecture or sculpting. Our coding culture is based on teaching rather than telling, and on understanding rather than trial and error.

Le Site writes web applications in Python, the simplest, most flexible and powerful of the modern dynamic languages. All of our developers are in Montreal, where there is a strong and active Python community.

Rather than reselling cookie-cutter applications and hacking them to do what our clients want, we start from the ground up by building on top of open source projects that provide only the pieces of functionality that are common to all web applications. With this approach we balance speed and cost with quality and design much better than we could by reselling existing solutions. This is why our award-winning applications are so easy to use.

Because we owe so much of our knowledge to the open source community, we give back by open-sourcing the code we write if it might help the community projects that we rely on. Due to this special relationship with the community, we're able to focus solely on the production of business value, as opposed to reinventing the wheel with our own proprietary schemes each time we meet new clients. It's a truly sustainable model of software development, and we are leading the way.

It's beautiful but what does it do?

Design is now a key element of web design, allowing the user to determine important content. Web design has evolved very rapidly in recent years and has challenged the designer to think "outside the box". There was a time that the designer would just haphazardly place some colours on the web page, without much thought to strategy.

With the new trends, design pushes the limits in terms of ergonomic use. No need to put everything in boxes. Creativity has no limits, with new technologies (HTML5, CSS3, JS). It is important to breathe life into the elements of a page and hierarchize information to optimize communication.
