About Physalis Design
Physalis Design is a Montreal studio that builds custom websites and management dashboards: registrations, memberships, directories, statistics. It also offers more than 50 free tools to check a website, an email setup or a domain name.
What we do
We design the tools a team needs to keep its information up to date: a space where members join online, a dashboard that tracks registrations, programs or invoices, a public directory the team edits itself, statistics that help make decisions. Everything works on a computer as well as on a phone.
When a site runs on WordPress, the team manages its data in a dashboard built for it, without having to go through the WordPress admin.
Who it is for
- Nonprofits, associations and community groups that manage members, registrations, programs or a directory of resources.
- Businesses that track quotes, sales or files and want to see everything in one place.
- Anyone who looks after a website: the free tools work without signing up.
What we cover
We mostly work with organizations and businesses in Quebec, in French and in English. Our work (page in French) includes the management space of Act-Théâtre, the Fusion Jeunesse platform and the RRASMQ resource directory.
The free tools check email (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), domain names, security, speed, accessibility, SEO and compliance with Quebec's privacy law (Law 25). They are available in English and in French.
Since when
Physalis Design was founded in 2012. The current site has been online since September 2026. Some of the platforms shown in our work have been growing with their organizations for several years.
What we don't do
- The dashboards shown on the home page are fictional demonstrations: whatever you change there stays in your browser.
- The free tools look at what is visible from outside a website. They don't replace a full audit and don't keep the domains you check.
- We never sell or rent personal information (see the privacy policy).
