Polar Air
Built fully bilingual from the first line of code — every page, form, and error message in French and English.
The brief
The brief weset ourselves.
Earn a homeowner's trust before the first service call — in both languages. A furnace that quits in January leaves no time to shop around: the site had to look dependable within seconds and make the phone call the obvious next step.
And the constraint at the heart of the project: French could never be a translation bolted on afterwards. Two languages, one standard — daily reality for service businesses in Québec, and since Bill 96, a legal requirement too.
The decisions
Decisions you cansee on the screen.
Real choices from the build — the kind you can see on the page, not in a slide deck.
- 01
Two languages, one build
Every page, form, and error message exists in French and English — from the first line of code, not as an afterthought. Even the page addresses are translated: /quote on one side, /soumission on the other.
- 02
Trust on the first screen
A tappable phone number, the service area, 24/7 emergency hours: everything a homeowner checks before calling sits on the first screen, in both languages. The design stays deliberately plain — nobody here is shopping for spectacular; they're shopping for dependable.
- 03
A quote request on one screen
The quote request asks what a dispatcher would ask on the phone — the equipment, its age, how urgent — and fits on one screen. The customer is done in a minute; the company receives a request that's already qualified.
- 04
Built for the phone, tested for the basement
Most visits happen on a phone — often right beside the broken unit, where the signal is weakest. Pages stay light, buttons stay large, and the number dials with a single tap.
The engagement
What a projectlike this costs.
Signature
A bilingual services site — pages, forms, and a quote-request flow in both languages — maps to the Signature package: from $5,000 CAD, delivered in two to four weeks.
Why this site exists
There is no client behind this project. It's a demonstration we set ourselves — designed, built, and shipped to production like a real engagement. The business is fictional; the work is not.
Your businessisn't fictional.
Let's talk about it. At our very first conversation, you'll see a working prototype of your site — before you commit a dollar.
