Services › Custom website design
Custom website design, in Paris and across France
A website that looks like you, loads instantly and brings in enquiries: that is what we build for small businesses, shops, practices and independent professionals, with no recycled WordPress theme and no unnecessary layers.
A professional website, designed to convert
A brochure site is not an online leaflet: it is your company's first salesperson, open around the clock. So we start from your customers: what they search for on Google, what they need to understand within ten seconds, what makes them decide to call you. That is what shapes the site structure, the copy and the design.
Every page is written and structured for search engines: one topic per page, clear headings, text that search engines can read on the very first load, structured data and a sitemap. The result is a site that ranks for the searches of your trade and your city, not only for your own name.
Ultra-light HTML or React: the right technology for your needs
For a brochure site, a landing page or a content site, a site built in modern HTML/CSS remains unbeatable: near-instant loading, robustness, very low hosting costs, minimal maintenance. For a site with features (customer area, booking, filterable catalogue, content management), we build in React, with pre-rendering that keeps the site perfectly readable by Google.
In both cases, the site belongs entirely to you: source code, domain name, content. No dependency on a proprietary subscription. Our article React or HTML: which technology for your website? goes through the selection criteria.
Careful design, measured performance
The design is created from scratch around your brand identity (or we create it with you): typography, colour palette, photos, tone of voice. The site is designed mobile-first, since most of your visitors will arrive from a phone, and follows accessibility best practices.
Performance is not a bonus: a slow site loses visitors and drops in Google. We aim for Core Web Vitals in the green, with optimised images, self-hosted fonts and hosting on a global content delivery network (CDN).
Launch, domain name and follow-up included
We take care of the domain name, the business email address, the HTTPS certificate, the launch, the submission to Google Search Console and the Google Business Profile listing if your business is local. After launch, you have a single point of contact for changes: a new page, a new offer, a blog post.

What budget to plan for?
The price of a custom website depends mainly on the number of pages, the copywriting (supplied or to be written), the design (based on existing brand guidelines or created from scratch) and the features (booking, catalogue, customer area, multilingual). A landing page or a brochure site of a few pages sits in a very different range from a company website with a blog and content management.
We send you a detailed, firm quote within 48 hours of our first conversation, with no hidden fees and no compulsory subscription. To get an idea before writing to us: How much does a custom website cost?

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to build a website?
Allow two to four weeks for a brochure site whose content is ready, and four to eight weeks for a multi-page company website with a blog or customer area. The timeline depends mostly on how quickly copy and visuals are approved.
Do you use WordPress?
No. We build custom sites in modern HTML/CSS or in React, with no theme or plugins to maintain. They are faster, more secure and cheaper to host. If you have an existing WordPress site, we can migrate it.
Will my site rank well on Google?
The site is delivered with an optimised structure and copy, structured data, a sitemap and a submission to Google Search Console. Ranking then builds up over time with regular content; we can support you on that.
Will I be able to edit my content myself?
Yes, if you wish: we set up a simple admin interface for text, images and articles, and we train you. Many clients prefer to leave updates to us: that is possible too.
Does the site belong to me?
Entirely. The domain name is registered in your name, the source code is handed over to you and you can host the site wherever you want. No dependency on Créacodeal after delivery.
Do you only work in Paris?
The studio is based in Neuilly-sur-Seine, on the doorstep of Paris, and meets clients in person in Paris and the Hauts-de-Seine area. We also work remotely with clients across France and abroad.
