01 Services

Three things, done well.

I keep the offer narrow on purpose. Pick the one that fits — or write me and we'll figure it out together.

01Build

Websites & web apps

Marketing sites, internal tools, full-stack products. TypeScript, Node, React, Postgres. Shipped to AWS, monitored from day one. Includes domain, email and infrastructure setup.

02Automate

Task automation & scripts

Replace spreadsheets, copy-paste workflows and brittle scripts with reliable pipelines. Python, GitHub Actions, Zapier-grade integrations — but actually maintainable.

  • Workflow audit
  • Custom tooling

03Consult

Consulting & maintenance

Architecture reviews, hiring help, ongoing support. Or a quiet retainer to keep your existing stack healthy: deploys, security patches, observability, the dull-but-essential work.

  • Audit & roadmap
  • Retainer support
  • On-call rescue
02 Starter gigs

Starter gigs, fixed prices.

You know what's slowing you down. Here's how to remove it.

03 Process

How we work together.

Most projects follow this loop. Smaller engagements collapse steps; larger ones repeat them.

  1. 01
    Discovery call
    30 minutes, no obligation. We talk through the problem, the constraints, the budget and the timeline.
  2. 02
    Written proposal
    Within 3 business days you get a fixed-scope proposal with milestones, price and what's explicitly out of scope.
  3. 03
    Build, in public
    Weekly demos. Shared Linear board. You see progress every week — no black box, no end-of-project surprises.
  4. 04
    Ship & support
    We deploy together. 30 days of post-launch support included. Optional retainer after that for ongoing work.
04 Selected work

Booking·2025

P-YLX — Transportation reservation system

A Quebec City transport company was taking every booking by phone and on paper. We shipped a bilingual platform where the client books online, picks the address on a map, and gets a confirmation email. The admin runs everything from a single dashboard. Bookings now land directly in the team's Google Calendar.

Platform·2024

Automated releases for a product team

A small product team was deploying by hand and each release risked breaking something. We automated the whole pipeline: tests, deploy, monitoring. No more production incidents from a forgotten step. Releases went from several hours down to minutes.

05 About

One engineer. No middleman.

My name is William Poncelet. I've spent the last five years designing and deploying software — full-stack web applications, cloud infrastructure, internal tooling. Nord Studio is that work, offered directly to small teams, with no agency in between.

You talk to the person doing the work. Decisions happen in hours, not weeks. I write the code, I deploy it, and I stay accountable for it.

06 FAQ

Common questions.

  • Fixed price for starter gigs. Milestone-based for bigger projects. Monthly for retainers. You always know what you'll pay before we start.

  • One to two weeks depending on the gig. You know the delivery date before we start.

  • Send me two lines about it. We talk for 20 minutes. I propose the gig that fits — or I'll honestly tell you I'm not the right fit.

  • Montréal, Canada (UTC-5). Good overlap with North America and Europe. Latin America and APAC work too with a bit of scheduling.

  • 30 days of revisions included after delivery. If we cannot finish, I refund pro-rata.

  • Yes. Standard mutual NDA on request before discovery.
