Bauhem

What Bauhem does

Bauhem Agence Digitale inc. is a founder-led digital agency established in 2012 in Alma, Quebec, operating remotely under a small team of approximately five people led by Guillaume Gosselin. The firm delivers full-stack web services to Quebec small and medium enterprises (PMEs), spanning website design and redesign, branding, SEO and AI discoverability (AEO/GEO) optimization, Shopify Headless e-commerce, digital process automation, AI-assisted application development, and agentic AI implementation (including a proprietary offering branded 'Hermes').

The agency's technical stack centers on composable, headless web architecture using Ycode, Webflow, Shopify Headless, Supabase, Airtable, DatoCMS, Nuxt 3, Vue.js, and Netlify. Differentiated capabilities include custom Airtable-to-DatoCMS data synchronization pipelines, rich Schema.org structured data implementation for AI and search discoverability, and integration of autonomous AI agents into client operations. The most substantive engagement publicly disclosed is the OSE Média cultural platform, which indexes over 6,000 events and 15,000 representations for the Conseil de la culture du Québec.

Commercial model is professional services: project-based, quote-driven engagements with no published pricing tiers, supplemented by a free website diagnostic offered as a lead magnet. Sales motion is consultative and direct, targeting Quebec-based SMEs and select non-profit and enterprise clients (Groupe Industriel AMI, GFEV, Ampli de Québec, Distillerie FOVE, Milmonde). The firm reports recurring client outcomes such as 25% reduction in manual operations time, 30% faster production cycles, and over 100% visitor growth in case studies. Bauhem is privately held, founder-owned, has no external funding or institutional investors, and has pivoted its primary CMS platform from Webflow to Ycode in 2026.
