Agency in Montreal.
Shopify Plus, Next.js platforms, and brand identity for bilingual DTC and AI-SaaS brands in Montreal, Quebec. Eastern Time coverage, FR and EN locales, Shopify Plus Markets routing.
AI capital of Canada. Bilingual brands.
Looking for a Shopify agency or AI-SaaS web developer in Montreal, Mile End, or the Plateau? Digital Heroes works with Montreal brands across bilingual DTC, AI-SaaS, and creative-tech verticals.
We cover Eastern Time Monday to Friday, 9 to 6 ET. Same-day Slack response, weekly Friday demos, 24/7 emergency support via our Delhi and Sydney offices.
Montreal's commerce gravity runs deep. The Mila AI institute and Yoshua Bengio's research lineage feed Canada's densest applied-AI founder pipeline. Ubisoft Montreal, EA, and Moment Factory anchor the gaming and creative-tech corridor. The bilingual French-English market demands parallel storefronts with hreflang precision.
Our typical Montreal fit: operator-led brands adjacent to Frank & Oak, Lolé, or the Mila AI scaleup pipeline. We're Eastern Time aligned with New York (90-minute flight) for full-day overlap and in-person kickoffs.
Three Montreal archetypes we ship.
The Montreal mix concentrates around three repeatable patterns. Bilingual DTC shape, applied-AI SaaS shape, creative-tech shape; each carries a distinct content gravity and a distinct integration topology.
02
AI/ML applied SaaS
AI tooling and applied-ML SaaS founded out of the Mila pipeline. Next.js marketing site, dashboard surfaces, public docs portals on Mintlify, evidence-led benchmark content.
03
Gaming + creative-tech
Animation studios, interactive media, and creative-tech operators. Narrative-shaped product pages, marketing-site rebuilds, brand-system work, motion-aware design surfaces.
Eastern Time. Full-day overlap.
Montreal runs on the same Eastern Time as our New York office. Same nine-hour working window, same Slack timing, 90-minute flight when in-person work makes sense.

Five questions Montreal founders ask.
Do you have an office in Montreal?
No. We're remote-first with HQs in New York and Delhi, plus offices in London, Sydney, and Lucknow. We work with Montreal brands on Eastern Time (9 to 6 ET, Monday through Friday) with same-day Slack response. We don't maintain a local Montreal office and won't invent one.
What kinds of Montreal brands do you typically work with?
Three main fits: (1) $3M to $25M GMV bilingual DTC on Shopify Plus needing parallel FR and EN storefronts; (2) AI/ML SaaS from the Mila pipeline needing a marketing-site rebuild and docs portal; (3) Animation studio or creative-tech operator in the Ubisoft-EA-Moment-Factory space needing a brand-system rebuild.
Do you build AI-SaaS or only ecommerce?
Both. Our Montreal work splits roughly 50/50 between DTC and SaaS/creative-tech. We ship bilingual Shopify Plus for Quebec lifestyle brands and Next.js marketing sites, dashboards, and integration-heavy product surfaces for Mila-pipeline AI-SaaS operators.
Will you fly to Montreal for kickoff or quarterly reviews?
Yes. Montreal is 90 minutes by flight from our New York HQ. For retainer work we include quarterly in-person sessions at your location (Mile End, Plateau, downtown, Old Port) or a neutral spot. For one-off platform builds we include a launch-week trip and a 60-day post-launch review trip.
How quickly can you scope a Montreal project?
Your 30-minute discovery call books within a week. We return written scope and fixed-price quote within 48 hours. For bilingual Shopify builds we add a 5 to 7 business day language and locale discovery phase to map FR and EN content, hreflang routing, and Quebec language-law alignment before the quote locks.

We build for the operator-led brands that define Montreal's commerce, like Café Pista, a founder-run business that outgrew its templates and needed real engineering.
