Business websites
Fast, polished websites that explain what you do and turn visitors into enquiries, in English, French, or Chinese when you need it.
Web design & development studio
Kindling Studio
We design and build websites and web-based systems for businesses — clear, fast, and made to be used.
A small Montreal studio. You work directly with the people who design and build your project.
Services
What we build
From a first website to a custom web system, we design, build, and launch it, then stay around to keep it running.
Web-based systems
Custom tools that replace spreadsheets and manual work: bookings, customer portals, dashboards, internal admin, online forms, and workflows.
SEO & GEO
Get found on Google and in AI answers. We structure your site so search engines and AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity can understand and recommend your business.
UI/UX & brand
Clear interfaces and a consistent visual identity, designed before a line of code so you see exactly what you are getting.
Launch & ongoing care
Domains, hosting, security updates, and small improvements after launch, so your site stays fast and online.
Portfolio
Our Work
Websites and web apps we designed and built, for clients and for ourselves.
Client website
Château Venise — Lakefront Estate
Bilingual French/English website for a private 16-acre estate on Lake Champlain, near Montreal. Guests check an availability calendar and request a quote by event type, dates, and group size. Dedicated SEO pages for each event type, from team building to weddings, bring in strong organic search traffic.
Live tool
EightLetters — BaZi Chart Tool
Free BaZi (Chinese astrology) chart calculator with AI-generated readings, precise to the second and corrected for true solar time.
Website
Kindling Studio — this website
The studio site you are on: trilingual (English, French, Chinese), fast to load, and served from Cloudflare's global network at very low hosting cost.
Process
How we work
We start from what you already have, build quickly with AI, and keep the result lean, so you get more done for less.
-
01
Review what exists
We look at your current website, system, and data first, and keep what already works instead of starting over.
-
02
Build fast with AI
AI-assisted coding gets a working version ready much faster than traditional development, so you see real progress early.
-
03
Optimize the solution
We refine performance, usability, and code quality, then test on real devices before launch.
-
04
Lower the cost
Faster development and lean, modern hosting mean a smaller budget up front and lower running costs every month.

About
A small studio that builds things people actually use.
Kindling Studio combines design and engineering under one roof. Besides client work, we build and run our own products, like EightLetters, so we know what it takes to keep a web system reliable after launch.
