Websites and toolsthat earn their keep
I'm Mikael Bergeron. Websites, web apps, dashboards, automations — custom-built, start to finish. You deal directly with the person writing the code.
What you can count on
A quote before you pay
Features included, total price, deliverables, timeline and external costs. In writing, before the first dollar.
A reply, usually within 24 hours
One contact, the one who builds it. No handoffs, no account manager in between.
The custom code is yours
On final payment, the code written for your project is handed over with every access, and hosting accounts are in your name. Third-party components stay under their own licences.
30-day warranty
Reproducible bugs tied to what was delivered are fixed free of charge for 30 days.
01
What I build
Four areas I work in. Most real projects combine two or three.
02
Dashboards and admin panels
See what is actually happening in your business instead of guessing from a spreadsheet.
- Customers and orders
- Inventory
- Statistics
- Access control
03
Automation and integrations
Repetitive tasks cost time and add nothing. They can be scripted.
- Discord bots
- API integrations
- Email and forms
- Scheduled reports
04
AI-powered solutions
AI applied to a specific, measurable problem — not a chatbot bolted onto a site to look modern.
- Assistants on your data
- Document processing
- Automatic sorting
- Prototypes
You already have a project
New features, modernization, fixes, optimization, picking up work someone left unfinished. I start by reading the existing code and telling you what I find — including when the answer is that starting over is cheaper.
02
Work
One platform genuinely in production, and two concept demonstrations built end to end.

A transparent portfolio
Every project shown here was actually built and can be visited at the address given. An entry marked “concept project” means the company was invented for the demonstration — the site itself exists and really runs.

How it works
Four stages, from the first call to going live. I don't jump straight into code: most projects that go off the rails don't have a technical problem, they have a poorly defined scope.
- 01
Talk
You explain the problem — no spec document needed. I ask the questions that are missing and flag what's risky before it gets expensive.
Your idea · Analysis
- 02
Proposal
Written scope, fixed price, timeline and third-party costs. You know what you're buying before the first dollar, and you see something early enough to change direction while it's still cheap.

Build
Built in stages: you follow the progress instead of waiting in the dark. Browsers, mobile, edge cases and errors get tested on my side, not on your customers.

Delivery
Launch, handover of every access, and a walkthrough. The code and the accounts are yours, and reproducible bugs are fixed free for 30 days.

How I work
I say no when that's the right answer
A poorly defined scope, an impossible deadline, or a need an existing tool solves better and cheaper: I'd rather say so at quoting time. It's less pleasant than saying yes, and far less expensive for everyone.
Stable technology, not fashionable technology
Boring, documented, maintainable choices — so the next developer who opens the project, me or someone else, finds their way around.
AI is one of my tools
It speeds up analysis and testing. The decisions and the responsibility for the result stay mine: you're buying a solution that works, and someone who answers when it doesn't.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a project cost?
Entirely dependent on what needs building. I don't publish a price list, because "a website" can mean three pages or a full application. Describe your project and you'll get a precise estimate, free and with no obligation.
How long does it take?
A small job is measured in days, a full project in weeks, a platform in months. The timeline is fixed in the quote before work starts. It also depends on you: projects slip when content and access arrive late.
How does a project start?
You get in touch, we talk, and I send you a written summary with the price and the timeline. If you accept it, a 50% deposit starts development. The balance is due at the end, before the final go-live.
Who owns the code at the end?
You do, on full final payment: the code written for your project is assigned to you, along with the source and every access. The third-party libraries and components it uses stay under their own licences, as in any software. No arrangement where I keep the keys to keep you dependent.
Who pays for hosting and the domain?
You do, on your own accounts, in your name. I can create and configure them for you, but they belong to you. It's cleaner: if we ever part ways, your site doesn't leave with me.
Do you use AI to build?
Yes, like most developers today. It speeds up certain steps. It doesn't replace the architecture, the review, or the responsibility for what gets delivered — those stay mine.
What happens after delivery?
A 30-day warranty covers reproducible bugs tied to what was delivered. After that, either you take over, or we set up monthly maintenance. It's an option, never an obligation.
Do you work outside Quebec?
Yes. The work is remote anyway. Quebec is where I start, not where I stop.
