Website design and development
We design, build and maintain websites for SMEs and institutions in French-speaking Switzerland, and we stay on after launch to help them evolve.
built in from the design stage, not patched on after. In a rebuild, old addresses are redirected one by one.
text, images, pages: your team updates the site itself, and we show them how.
from mock-up to maintenance, with no middleman between you and the people who write the code.

Typical situations
A website project usually starts when what you have can't keep up anymore.
- Your website was built years ago. It doesn't display well on phones, it's slow, and you hesitate to send the link to a new client.
- Your visitors can't find what they're looking for. Pages have piled up over time without a plan, and everyone ends up calling you for information that is actually online.
- Your business has changed, but your website still tells the old story. New services, a new audience, a new identity: everything needs reworking, without losing the search rankings you've built up.
- You're launching a project, a brand or a publication, and you want a website that feels like you from day one.
In every case, we start by finding out who visits your website, what they come looking for, and what you expect from it: contact requests, sign-ups, sales, or simply fewer phone calls.
What we do
Structure, design, development, and support after launch.
Site structure
Before the first screen, we organize the content: which pages, in what order, with which words. That's what lets a visitor find information in two clicks instead of calling you.
Interface design
A clear interface, true to your identity, designed for phones first. You try it out on a clickable mock-up before development starts.
Development
A fast, accessible website that your team can update without calling us for every comma.
Technical SEO
Page structure, speed, markup: search ranking is built in from the design stage. When we redesign a website, we redirect the old URLs so you don't lose what Google already knows.
A website ready for your campaigns
Landing pages, conversion tracking, visit analytics: the website is ready for your campaigns. The campaigns themselves stay with your marketing agency.
Maintenance
Security updates, backups, fixes and small improvements, with a contact person who knows your website.
How we work
From the first coffee to launch and beyond, with the same team.
01
A first conversation
At our offices or at yours. We start by talking about your visitors and what the website should let them do.
02
Structure and mock-up
The site map, then a clickable mock-up that you can explore and show your team before committing to development.
03
Development
You follow progress on a test version, page by page, and prepare your content in parallel.
04
Launch
Redirects from the old URLs, checks on phone and desktop, and a hands-on session so your team knows how to edit the website.
05
What comes next
A maintenance contract keeps the website secure and up to date, and you know who to turn to.
Why us
The people who design your website are the ones who build it, and then the ones who maintain it.
We are a technical team based in French-speaking Switzerland. We've been doing this since 2012, across more than 320 projects.
A website is never finished: browsers change, plugins age, your business evolves. We maintain the websites we deliver, and we design each one so it can grow without starting over.
A few websites
Veuve Clicquot
The website for one of the brand's pop-ups in Zurich. Scroll animations that bring the place to life before the visit, and table booking straight from the page.
bearmind
The website of a company that measures head impacts in sport. A 3D helmet the visitor turns while scrolling down the page, then the technical detail for those who want it.
ownies
The website of a Swiss pastry brand, from the first sketch to going live: visual identity, designs refined in workshops with the client, then the site itself.
It all starts with a conversation.
Before the first screen, there's a conversation: what you want to do, for whom, and why. Let's take the time to talk about it.
First conversation free and with no commitment.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a website cost in Lausanne?
It depends on the number of pages, how much of the design is bespoke, and what the site has to do beyond informing: booking, client area, shop. To get an order of magnitude before committing, we start with a fixed-price prototype; the packages are listed on our Prototypes page.
How long does it take to rebuild a website?
Development is rarely the longest part: preparing the content and the rounds of approval usually are. We give a real schedule once the structure is agreed, and we tell you from the start what depends on you.
Do you work with WordPress?
Yes, and our own site works that way: WordPress to write the content, Next.js to display it. Your team keeps an admin interface it already knows, and visitors get a fast site. When something simpler is enough, we say so rather than sell one tool too many.
Will I lose my search ranking by rebuilding my site?
That is the real risk of a rebuild, and it almost always comes from the addresses: old pages disappear and nobody redirects them to the new ones. We take the list of existing addresses, redirect them one by one, and watch for errors in the weeks after launch.
Will we be able to update the site ourselves?
Yes, that is planned from the start: text, images, pages, articles. We train whoever will look after it on your side. If you would rather not touch it, maintenance covers those changes.
