11,125 OQLF complaints in one year — more than half targeting Montreal businesses. Website, social media, menus: we bring it all into compliance with the Charter of the French Language. Fast, fixed-price, in plain words.
The 11,125 complaints are confidential: the OQLF publishes neither who is targeted nor where. You will never see a complaint coming. What does become public is the end of the road: the convictions — name, fine, online forever on the government's website — and the cases the media reports. Every point below is a real case; click one, and every card links to its source. We invent nothing, and you can check everything.
Inspection-zone positions are approximate (neighbourhoods and streets named in the public tender, as reported by CBC and Cult MTL). Convictions come from the official list published by the OQLF.
Free assessment, full correction in 7 days, at your pace. No file, no public record — you were simply never in violation.
The Office requires correction within a deadline it sets. It's the same work — plus the stress, the urgency and the official correspondence. Correct in time and most files close without a fine.
And your name joins the convictions list on the government's website — public, indexed by Google, forever. Like the thirty-odd businesses convicted since 2021 that you can see on the map — groceries, restaurants, barbershops, even a notary.
We review your website, social media, menus and online presence, then hand you a plain-language report: what's compliant, what isn't, and what fixing it would take. No strings attached.
Professional translation and integration of the French version of your site, menus and posts — French displayed the way the law requires. You approve everything before it goes live.
Every month we check your new content (posts, menus, promotions) and keep your site compliant — including the privacy policy required by Law 25. You publish, we watch.
FrancWeb is Kenneth and Ning — two Montreal developers. No call center, no offshore subcontracting, no rep who "forwards your file." The person who answers you is the person who fixes your site.
Our approach is simple: everything we claim is verifiable. The numbers on this site link to the OQLF's official publications and major news outlets. The assessment is free and the report is yours to keep — even if you have someone else do the fixes.
No. FrancWeb is an independent private firm with no ties to the Office québécois de la langue française or the Quebec government. We help businesses comply — we don't inspect anyone, and we never file complaints.
Because it's the cheapest moment. Complaints are anonymous and confidential — you'll never know a customer, passer-by or competitor filed one until the letter arrives. And by November 2026, 14,000 anonymous inspection visits are planned, mostly in Montreal. Fixing before is a quiet project; fixing after is an imposed deadline.
No. We fix your content (site, social media, menus) so it meets the Charter's requirements. For a formal legal opinion, consult a lawyer — we're happy to work alongside yours.
No — it's exactly the moment to act. A notice comes with a correction deadline. When the correction is made in time, the vast majority of files close without a fine. Bring us the letter: the assessment is still free.
The assessment is free. A typical compliance fix (storefront site + social media + menu) starts at $750, at a fixed price agreed up front. Monthly monitoring is $95/month, no contract. No surprise fees — ever.
No. The law requires that a French version exists and is at least as accessible as the other languages. You keep your current languages — we add French properly, without diluting your brand.
Write to us — we reply the same day, in French, English, or your language if we speak it.
