SilQ Connect, founded in Sherbrooke in 2023, builds the hardware and software that network quantum processors into modular clusters. Until March 2026, its website was a single English page made with GoDaddy's website builder.

Our Montreal web studio designed and built its new site in March 2026: one page, in English and French, that explains a hard technology one step at a time, in the brand's teal and with motion that shows the idea. Here is the old site next to the new one, what the site had to do, why it looks the way it does, and how it scores.
Until March 2026, silqconnect.com was a one-page site made with GoDaddy's website builder. It is no longer online, so here is its last copy on the Wayback Machine, from January 2026, next to today's site at the same screen sizes, both in English, the only language the old site had.
One long page in English: the headline, two short blocks titled About Us and Our Mission, three columns on standalone, monolithic and modular quantum computers whose text stops mid-word behind “Show More” links, a quote, a contact form and the address. A cookie banner opened over the page on arrival.

The GoDaddy site is no longer online. Its copies on the Wayback Machine load through the archive's own servers, so their scores would describe the archive more than the old site. These are the scores of the site that replaced it.
SilQ Connect's work is hard to explain in one sentence: today's quantum processors work alone, and SilQ builds the interconnects and the software that let them work together. A visitor has to grasp that quickly, then see why it matters, who is behind it and how to get in touch.
Every section serves that job. Each one either explains a step of the technology, shows the people behind it, or gives a way to reach them.
Quantum computer manufacturers, investors and researchers: the three groups the site's closing section speaks to by name. They know the field, so the site had to be precise and credible at first glance, without hype, in English and in French.
The homepage opens on teal lines that ripple across the screen, drawn live in the browser, and react to the cursor. They hint at signals travelling between machines, which is what SilQ's technology is about. In the headline, one word rotates: modular, resilient, powerful.
A deep navy background and the brand teal carry the whole page, with near-white text in a clean sans-serif and small technical labels in a monospaced font. After our first wireframes in grey, Olivier-Michel asked for more teal, so it now marks every label, button and highlighted word.
The GoDaddy site was in English only. The new one is a single page, read from top to bottom, in English and in French, each at its own address, with a language switch in the menu. On a computer, a row of dots on the side shows where you are and jumps to any section.
Each animation runs only while it is on screen and draws at most 60 frames a second, so a phone never spends effort on what nobody sees. The fonts and images are served from the site itself.
“Building the foundation for powerful quantum infrastructure.” The headline says what SilQ does, the line under it says how, and a button leads to the technology. Just below, the logos of the organizations that support SilQ scroll slowly by, under the line “Emerging from Sherbrooke's world-class quantum ecosystem.”
“Quantum computers can't scale alone.” The page names the problem before the product: a diagram of the quantum stack stays on the left while three cards scroll past on the right, from the standalone processor, to the limits of one big machine, to the distributed answer.
Hardware, software and networking each get a cell of a grid with a diagram we drew for the site: a signal converted from microwave to optical, an orchestration layer, and processors linked in a local network.
Three of SilQ's own figures, 50%, 1 MHz and 1 photon, each beside what it means: high efficiency, a high rate and low noise. A slow wave of lines moves behind them.
After the technology, three figures on the market it opens up. After the team, a line SilQ already had on its old site gets a section of its own: “Just as interconnections underpin today's data centers, SilQ Connect is building the foundation for tomorrow's quantum infrastructure.”
Two co-founders, each with a portrait, degree, role and short bio: Olivier-Michel Tardif, CEO, and Prof. Mathieu Juan, scientific advisor. On a site about hardware, they show who stands behind it.
“Are you ready to build with us?” The verb rotates between build, partner and invest, and one button opens an email to SilQ. SilQ asked for no form, so there is nothing to fill in.
The Web Bros were responsive and professional from start to finish. They showed real initiative, carrying the project from kickoff to delivery, and were just as comfortable working with our content as producing their own. They respected our timeline, took the time to get every detail right, and made sure bugs and updates were handled promptly.
