01 · Overview

What we do in Canada.

Canadian B2B and DTC brands compete for attention against U.S. incumbents that outspend them ten-to-one on web presence. Winning that competition requires technical excellence in places U.S. competitors often ignore: bilingual content management, AODA accessibility compliance, and tight conversion economics that make every dollar of paid spend work harder.

Buraq builds modern Canadian web on Next.js with headless CMS, engineered for sub-second page loads, top-of-category Core Web Vitals scores, and bilingual content workflows that don't require an engineer for every Quebec content update.

02 · Market Challenges

What teams in Canada are up against.

The friction points we most often see when we start engagements in this market, and the ones our delivery plan is designed to remove.

WordPress sites slowing down under traffic and breaking after every plugin update.

Marketing teams blocked from shipping content because engineering owns the deploy pipeline.

Quebec opportunity ignored because the CMS doesn't properly support French content workflows.

AODA compliance audits revealing accessibility gaps across the marketing site.

Paid acquisition CAC inflated by landing pages that take 4+ seconds to load on mobile.

06 · Deep Dive

How we work, in detail.

Built for Canadian organic and paid economics

Canadian organic search volumes are a fraction of U.S. equivalents. Every percentage point of conversion rate matters more, and every second of page load time costs measurably more in lost paid efficiency. We engineer Canadian web specifically for these tighter economics.

Output is a site that competes for attention against deeper-pocketed U.S. competitors and quietly compounds in organic ranking quarter over quarter.

Bilingual content as a first-class concern

Canadian sites that need to serve Quebec markets typically struggle with bilingual content management. WordPress multilingual plugins are unstable. Translating pages is treated as a marketing afterthought. Localized SEO is ignored. The result is French-language content that's slower to ship, lower quality, and underperforms in search.

We design content models with bilingual workflows as a primary use case. Editors author parallel content. URLs follow predictable patterns (e.g. /fr/ subpaths or .ca/.fr domains). Analytics segment by language and region. Localized SEO (hreflang, French-keyword targeting, French structured data) is engineered in from launch.

08 · FAQ

Canada questions, answered.

Have a question not listed here? Contact our Canada team and we'll get back to you.

01Can you migrate our WordPress or HubSpot site without losing rankings?

Yes. We do structured migrations with URL preservation, 301 redirects, sitemap continuity, and pre/post crawl audits. Most migrations see ranking improvements post-launch from the Core Web Vitals lift alone.

02How do you handle bilingual SEO?

hreflang tags configured for fr-CA and en-CA, separate sitemaps per language, French-keyword research and content optimization, and structured data localized per language. We don't translate ourselves but we engineer the platform so professional translation drops in cleanly.

03Will our site be AODA compliant?

Yes. AODA-aligned WCAG 2.0 AA compliance is engineered into the design system and code from the start. We provide documentation suitable for AODA accessibility compliance reporting and procurement responses.

04Who hosts the site after launch?

We deploy to Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare or AWS Canada Central depending on your data residency and infrastructure preferences. You own the hosting account and have full root access.
