Custom website development in Marseille, France
Designed and hosted by an engineer, not by a template, from Marseille and across France.
Your website is often the first contact between you and a client. I design it, I build it and I host it myself, from the first sketch to the day it goes live.

(who for)
Your
situation
Your situation
Four situations that lead to the same decision: having a custom website built.
New business owner
You are starting out and you have nothing to show yet, nothing to reassure a first client before they pick up the phone.
Tradesperson or retailer
People find you by word of mouth, but not on Google, and your competitors come up before you do.
Independent professional
You have a site, it is dated, it looks wrong on a phone and you have stopped giving out the address.
Business that has moved on
Your site still describes what you were doing three years ago and no longer reflects what you sell today.

In detail
What custom website development includes, from scoping through to hosting.
Scoping the need
We work out together who the site speaks to, what it should trigger, and what it does not need to do.
Structure and content
I organise the pages and the wording so a visitor finds the right information without having to look for it.
Bespoke design
No bought theme, no template. The design is drawn for your business and approved before the first line of code.
Hand-written code
The site is built for itself, with no pointless plugins and no dependency on an editor that changes its rules overnight.
Every screen size
Each page is checked from the smallest phone to the widest monitor, because half of your visitors will arrive on mobile.
Technical SEO
Titles, descriptions, sitemap, readable addresses. Everything Google looks at before ranking you is in place the day you go live.
Loading speed
Pages are optimised to appear fast, including on mobile data, because a visitor left waiting goes elsewhere.
GDPR compliance
Cookie banner, legal notices, privacy policy and forms that meet GDPR requirements.
Accessibility
Sufficient contrast, keyboard navigation, alternative text on images. The site stays usable with a screen reader.
Hosting and security
HTTPS certificate, automatic backups and monitoring, on infrastructure I run myself.
Handover
I show you how to edit your content, live, and leave you a written guide.
It all belongs to you
The code, the domain name and the logins are in your name. If you ever leave, you leave with the lot.

The
answers
The answers
Price, timing, SEO, ownership: the questions asked before starting a website.
The price follows the number of pages, how much content has to be produced and what the site needs to do. Budget from 1,500 euros for a five-to-seven-page brochure site, designed, built, launched and hosted. A site with a client area, booking or a catalogue falls under custom app development and starts at 10,000 euros. I do not quote a range at random: after the first conversation you get a quote priced line by line, and you are free to push back anything that is not essential at launch.
It is indexable from the day it goes live: structure, titles, descriptions and sitemap are all in place. Reaching the first page on a contested search then takes time and content, often several months. At quote stage I tell you which searches you can realistically aim to rank for.
Yes, if you want to. For the parts that change often, news, prices, photos, I install a simple admin interface and train you to use it. For the rest, an email is enough and I take care of it.
Yes, always. The domain is registered in your name, with your details, and you keep the logins. Same for the code and for every account created during the project.
Five to seven in most cases: home, about, one page per main service, work or reviews, contact. A page earns its place when it answers a specific search. Creating thirty near-identical ones works against your ranking instead of helping it.
The domain name, the hosting and the code are in your name and you hold the logins from the day it goes live. The site is written with widely used technologies, with no exotic plugins and no dependency on an editor: another developer can take over without starting from scratch. You are never locked in, not to me and not to a tool.
