Answers to the most common questions before starting your website project.
What is a static website?
A static website is a site made of pre-generated HTML, CSS and JavaScript files delivered directly to the browser, with no database or application server. The result: page loads in under a second, no security vulnerabilities to monitor and no plugins to update. This is the approach biffusion favours for clients who want a fast, reliable and hassle-free website.
What is the difference between WordPress and a static website?
WordPress is a content management system (CMS) that generates pages on demand from a database, with many plugins and updates to maintain. A static website is pre-generated once and served as is: no database, no plugins, no monthly updates. For a brochure website, a small business or a professional who doesn’t need to update content weekly, the static approach delivers significantly better performance and much lower maintenance cost.
What is a maintenance-free website?
A maintenance-free website is a site that requires no recurring intervention after delivery: no weekly security updates, no plugins to monitor, no database to back up. The site just works, without risk of outage from a failed update. Founded in 2000, biffusion first delivered dynamic websites — first on its own in-house platform, then on WordPress. More than two decades working with small and mid-sized businesses in Québec have shown that the vast majority of clients prefer to request changes rather than make them themselves. The maintenance-free approach reflects that reality.
How long does it take to design a website with biffusion?
Turnaround depends on project scope and, above all, on the pace at which the client provides content. It is the back-and-forth on copy, images and approvals that sets the final timeline. biffusion adapts to the client’s pace, without rushing.
Do I own the source code of my website?
Yes. Every biffusion website is delivered with its complete source code, with no recurring subscription and no lock-in to a proprietary platform. The client can host the site with any hosting provider, modify it freely and hand it over to another vendor at any time.
Which regions of Québec do you serve?
biffusion is based in Saint-Bruno, on Montréal’s South Shore, and serves all of Québec: Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, Brossard, Boucherville, Saint-Hubert, Sherbrooke, Trois-Rivières, Drummondville and the Québec City region. Projects are delivered remotely with in-person meetings as needed.
Will my website rank well on Google?
Every biffusion website is built following search engine optimization (SEO) best practices: clean semantic HTML, sub-second load times, complete meta tags, schema.org structured data, XML sitemap, hreflang for bilingual sites and security headers. These technical foundations put the site in an optimal position from day one. Long-term ranking depends on content, backlinks and editorial strategy — biffusion supports clients on these as needed.
How much does a biffusion website cost?
Every project is priced individually, based on scope, content volume and requested features. biffusion focuses on affordable websites tailored to the budgets of Québec SMEs and professionals. Request a free, no-obligation quote by email at [email protected] or at 514-569-0344.
