Custom professional website

A website designed from scratch, just for you.

The premium option, for those who want a truly distinctive image. Not a template you will find elsewhere, but a website built around your trade and the way you work, down to the smallest detail. More work than a showcase website, and it shows.

When looking like everyone else is no longer enough.

Many websites look alike because they start from the same template, simply retouched with the right colours. It does the job at first. But the day you want to make a lasting impression and be remembered, a template quickly shows its limits.

A custom build is the opposite of a quick fix. I start from a blank page and design everything around your trade, your clients and what makes you different. The result looks like no other website, because it was made only for yours.

Let us talk about your project
Is it right for you?

A custom build is a real commitment.

Let me be honest: it is not for everyone, and that is fine. Here is when it is truly worth it, and when a simpler choice is more than enough.

It is for you if

  • You care about a truly distinctive image that sets you apart from the competition for good.
  • You are a discerning freelancer or a small business, and your website needs to match what you charge.
  • You have your own way of working, and you want a website built around it, not the other way round.
  • You are ready to put in the time and budget needed for something unique.

Keep it simpler if

  • You mainly want a clear, polished presence to get started: a showcase website already does the job very well.
  • Your current website is simply dated and needs a serious refresh: that would be a redesign.
  • You need a business tool, a client area or a calculator: head to the web application.
What is included

From the first stroke to going live.

A custom website means everything is designed for you, with nothing left to chance. Here is what I handle from start to finish.

Custom or template?

Two ways to build a website, two results.

I would rather be honest than sell you everything as custom work. Here is the concrete difference between a template you buy and a design made only for you.

A bought template

The off-the-shelf template

You take a theme sold online, change the text and the colours. Fast, affordable, and perfectly fine to get started.

  • The same base as thousands of other websites, including those of your competitors.
  • You adapt your trade to the template, not the other way round, with everything that imposes.
  • Hard to truly stand out when the structure is shared by everyone.
  • Often packed with options you never use, which can weigh it down.
True custom work

A design made for you alone

I start from a blank page and design everything around your trade. Longer to build, but the result exists nowhere else.

  • A layout imagined only for you, found on no other website.
  • The website follows your way of working and highlights what truly matters about you.
  • An image that sets you apart for good and stays in mind.
  • Nothing pointless: just what you need, no more, no less.

You do not need to go all the way to a custom build to exist online. If your need is simpler, a showcase website is more than enough, and I will tell you so honestly.

The premium option

Premium quality, without the price of an agency.

You want a website that makes an impression, but agency quotes running into four or five figures hold you back. That is exactly where I fit in: careful work, designed just for you, without the overheads of a large firm. You speak directly to the person who designs and builds it, from start to finish.

How it works

Five steps, and you approve each one.

A custom build needs more back and forth than a showcase website, and that is normal. The process stays clear, and nothing moves ahead without your agreement.

Discovery

We take the time to understand your trade, your clients and what sets you apart, to start on solid foundations.

Design

I design your website from a blank page. You see the result and we refine it together before anything else.

Development

Once the design is approved, I build the website cleanly, down to the smallest detail of the screens and the subtle animations.

Testing

I check everything, on computer and on phone, so it is fast, sharp and seamless everywhere.

Launch

The website goes live, and I show you how to manage it and keep it alive day to day.

How much it costs

A budget you own, with no surprises.

A custom website costs more than a showcase website, which makes sense given the work involved. In return, you know exactly where you are heading, right from the start.

No ready-made rate, a quote built for you.

Since everything is designed from scratch, the price depends on the scope of the project: the number of pages, the richness of the design, your content and your wishes. You describe your need, you receive a fixed, detailed quote within 24h. What is written is what you pay, with no extras at the end.

You pay for the build once, the website is yours. No monthly fee ticking away for nothing: I explain how to host it for a small amount per year.

Frequently asked questions

What people often ask me

How is it different from a showcase website?
A showcase website starts from a layout that I cleanly adapt to your trade, so you can exist online without breaking the bank. A custom website, on the other hand, is designed from scratch, with no starting template: everything is imagined for you alone. It takes longer and asks more of you, but the result is truly unique. If your need is simple, a showcase website is more than enough.
How long does a custom website take?
Longer than a showcase website, because everything is created from a blank page and we approve each step together. Expect a few extra weeks in general, depending on the scope of the project and the number of pages. We agree on a clear schedule together from the start, and you always know where things stand.
Who writes the text and provides the photos?
You know your trade better than anyone, so the text and photos come from you. I guide you on what to prepare, help you structure and reword if needed, and place everything in the right spot. If you are short on photos, we talk it through together to find the best solution.
Will the website really be mine?
Yes, entirely. Since it is designed from scratch for you, the result belongs to your business alone. You own the website once and for all, with no hidden fee on my side. I show you how to manage it, and you stay free to develop it however you wish afterwards.
I am in Switzerland, how does it work?
This is my everyday work, I operate on both sides of the border from Annemasse, ten minutes from Geneva. I invoice in francs, with no VAT, which gives you an attractive net price. We talk over video call whenever it suits you, and I am happy to travel to Geneva and the region for meetings that call for it.
