A creative development studio in Montreal
Websites, mobile apps, and custom software. Built together.
Websites, mobile apps, and custom software, designed with care and built around your business.
Built with founders and businesses across Montreal
What we do
From first idea to useful software.
Start something new or make what you already have work better. We help you choose the right scope, then design and build it with you.
Designed around people
A good experience. On every screen.
A website that makes the next step clear. An app that feels natural to use. We bring design and development together, so the details work as well as they look.
Explore what we buildWorking together
Clear steps. Shared progress.
You work directly with Anes, from the first conversation through launch. We agree on the scope, share working demos, and make the next decision together.
Explore the processThe process
From first call to launch.
Four stages, each ending in something you can look at and decide on. No stage starts before you have approved the one before it.
- 01
Book a free call and tell us what people need to do
Fifteen minutes, no technical brief needed. We work out who the product is for, what they need to accomplish, and what success looks like. You leave with a clear answer on whether we are a fit.
- 02
Get a scope, a timeline, and a fixed estimate
We decide together what the first release must include and what can wait. You get a prototype to click through, a written scope, and a price before any code is written.
- 03
Watch it get built, week by week
We design and develop in short cycles and show you working software as it lands. Every decision gets explained in plain language, so you always know what you are approving.
- 04
Launch, then improve with real feedback
We handle the release, the App Store submission, and the first weeks of live use. Then we use what real users do to decide what gets built next.

Before we get started.
A little more about working together. For anything else, just ask.
Get in touch
Yes, and that is the usual starting point. Bring the problem and who has it. Working out what to build, and what to leave out of the first release, is the first stage of the work.
It depends on scope, so you get a fixed estimate before any code is written. A focused first release typically lands in the low five figures; a marketing site is considerably less. Nothing starts until you have approved the number.
A first release usually takes six to twelve weeks depending on scope. You see working software long before that, in short cycles, rather than waiting for one big reveal at the end.
Anes does. Five Square Design is deliberately one engineer, so the person on your first call is the person who builds and ships. There is no sales handoff and no team you never met.
Completely. The code, the accounts, the domain, and the data are all yours, handed over documented. You are never locked into us to keep the product running.
Yes. Calls, documents, and the product itself can be in English or French. We are based in Montreal and work in both every week.
Let’s build something useful.
Tell us what you have in mind. We’ll work out the right next step together.
