Project Overview
GrandQuebec.com is a French-language digital encyclopedia focused on Quebec’s history, people, landscapes, and cultural landmarks. With a database of over 16,000 articles, the site functions as an expansive educational archive and monetized information hub, primarily funded through Google AdSense.
What We Did
We optimized the site for both content volume and clarity. Built on WordPress, the platform combines lightweight visual design with highly structured categorization:
- Categorized architecture: Each article is assigned to relevant regions, themes, or historical periods (e.g., Charlevoix, Nouvelle-France, Art et Artistes), creating an intuitive content map for users and search engines.
- Paginated archives and tag-based navigation allow for browsing across hundreds of topics, from military history to museums.
- Visual balance: Articles are presented in a simple card layout with prominent preview images, social sharing, and visible category labels.
- Performance optimization: Despite the massive volume, the site loads quickly thanks to efficient content rendering and minimal external dependencies.
- AdSense integration: Placement and layout are tailored to maximize ad visibility while maintaining a clean, distraction-free reading experience.
Client Results
