Custom website design

A business website is only valuable if people find it on Google and want to contact you after visiting it. I design it with that goal in mind, from scoping to launch.

Request a quote

The problem

Many websites are designed like brochures: polished, but absent from search results and with no clear path to a quote request. Yet search visibility and conversion are decided when the site structure is defined, well before the first screen.

I start from your goals and from what your customers search for, then build the site with the right tool: custom development in Next.js when performance and features require it, WordPress when your team needs to publish on its own.

What I do

Scoping
Goals, audiences, offer and required pages, set down in writing before design.
Site structure and content
A structure based on what your customers search for, with a page-by-page content plan.
UX/UI design
Responsive mockups, designed mobile-first and approved before development.
Development
Next.js and React for a custom site, or WordPress when editorial independence comes first.
SEO foundations
Tags, heading hierarchy, speed, structured data, sitemap and Search Console ready at launch.
Launch and handover
Hosting, domain name and access set up so that you stay independent.

How it works

  1. Scope

    Positioning audit and target audience analysis before the first line of code.

  2. Design

    Data structure, technical choices and site structure defined before the first screen.

  3. Develop

    Custom code or no-code: the right tool for the deadline and the technical debt you can accept.

  4. Optimize

    SEO architecture is part of the project, not a fix added afterwards.

  5. Test

    Every page checked on mobile, across browsers and under load before launch.

  6. Deploy

    Hosting, domain name and handover set up so the client stays independent.

The full method is detailed on the Expertise page.

Frequently asked questions

Should I choose WordPress or a custom website?
It mainly depends on who will keep the site alive. If your team publishes often and on its own, WordPress is often the best choice. If speed, search visibility or specific features come first, a custom site is justified. The choice is made during scoping, based on your situation.
How much does a website cost?
The price depends on the number of pages, the features, the content to produce and the level of design expected. After a first conversation about your needs, I send you a quote.
I don't have my content yet. Is that a problem?
No, it is the most common situation. Content is planned from the scoping stage, page by page, because it is a frequent cause of delays in a web project.
Do you work remotely?
Yes. The whole project can be run remotely: discussions, approvals and launch.
