Upbeat Development

We’re a boutique development studio in Montreal, Quebec, with a small, focused team building applications, platforms, and the systems behind them.

What we do

Industry experience.

Different domains. The same engineering discipline.

  • E-commerce & retail

  • Education & training

  • Health & wellness

  • Manufacturing & fulfillment

  • Media & publishing

  • Non-profits & associations

Application
development

Purpose-built software for the way your business actually works — your website, a SaaS product, a customer portal, or the internal platform behind it all.

UI/UX

Fast, responsive interfaces from phone to desktop, built with modern technologies and made to last.

CMS
& e-commerce

Custom WordPress content management systems and Shopify storefronts, separately or working together, that hold up under real traffic. We write custom plugins, themes, and extensions when you need more than the platform offers.

Automation
& integration

APIs, webhooks, scripts, and scheduled jobs that move high volumes of data between your systems without dropping any of it.

AI agents
& chatbots

Custom assistants that plug into your own systems, whether that is answering customer questions or working inside the tools your team uses every day.

Infrastructure
& support

Keep critical software fast, available, and secure, with deployments, backups, and monitoring in place from day one.

Under the Hood

Our defaults, not our limits — we pick up whatever a project needs, and work inside the project management and communication tools your team already uses.

We can also work within your existing collaboration stack, including Bitbucket, GitHub, Jira, Linear, Slack, and Teams.

AI-powered.
Human-engineered.

Large language models accelerate everyday development work and raise the baseline of what’s possible, freeing us to focus on more complex challenges. Experience, judgment, and accountability still shape the result.
