Websites for municipalities and public bodies

A public website serves everyone. No exceptions.

Déclic designs and rebuilds websites for Quebec municipalities and public bodies: accessible, fast and secure, built to Quebec’s web accessibility standard, with a single point of contact from start to finish.

A resident looking for the eco-centre hours, a boil-water notice or a permit form has no time to lose, often on a phone, sometimes with assistive technology. Your site has to answer the first time.

What every site we build guarantees

  • Accessibility to SGQRI 008 3.0

    Quebec’s standard is based on WCAG 2.1 and adds several WCAG 2.2 criteria, including Focus Not Obscured and minimum target size. We apply it from the design stage, check every page with automated tools and a screen reader, and produce the “Accessibility” page the standard requires.

  • Performance

    Fast loading on an entry-level phone and a weak rural connection, with good mobile Core Web Vitals as the goal.

  • Security and privacy

    Updates, backups, certificates, protected forms, and personal information handled in line with Law 25.

  • Clear content

    Organized around what residents look for, not the org chart, in plain language.

  • One point of contact

    Every project is led by our founder, from the first meeting to launch.

Calls for tenders

We respond to public calls for tenders, including on SEAO, and to invited requests for quotes. Our proposals detail the approach, timeline, accessibility deliverables and team. Preparing a tender? We can meet beforehand to help define the need.

What clients ask before signing

Does SGQRI 008 apply to municipalities?

The standard primarily covers government departments and public bodies. Municipalities also have obligations toward people with disabilities. Either way, we use SGQRI 008 3.0 as the benchmark for every public site we build.

Can our current site be made accessible without a redesign?

Sometimes. An audit shows what can be fixed and what needs rebuilding. We recommend the least costly path to compliance.

Can our teams update the site?

Yes. The site comes with training and a guide for publishing news, notices and pages without breaking accessibility.

How long does a redesign take?

3 to 6 months, depending on the number of pages, forms and your approval schedule.
