Custom website for small businesses
Kévin Boileux
Freelance web developer, more than 15 years of experience
A small business website presents your business, reassures future clients and gives them a simple way to reach you. Tradesperson, freelancer or small business: I design it, build it, host it and look after it over time, remotely, for clients in France and abroad. A single point of contact, from the first conversation to launch.

“Kévin perfectly understood my needs for my hair salon. Very professional, attentive and responsive. The website is exactly what I wanted, modern and easy to manage. Highly recommended!”
What's included
- A custom design, built around your business and your clients
- Custom development, with no purchased theme or website builder
- A layout that works on phones, tablets and computers
- Website hosting and domain name for the first year
- Search engine optimization from day one: tags, speed, structured data, sitemap
- An SEO audit of your pages, with the list of issues to fix
- Visitor tracking with an audience measurement tool
Why custom rather than a website builder
Wix, Squarespace and WordPress themes get you online quickly, but they load a lot of code your site never uses. The result: slower pages, especially on phones, where most of your visitors come from.
A website built for you only contains what it needs. It loads fast, Google reads it easily, and it can grow with your business without being held back by a platform's limits.
How the project works
- 1Step 1A free first conversation about your business, your clients and the pages you need
- 2Step 2A free, detailed quote, before any commitment
- 3Step 3Design and development, with regular progress updates
- 4Step 4Launch, then training on the admin area if you chose it
Usual timeline: about one week between the accepted quote and launch for a standard website, longer depending on complexity and when your texts and photos arrive.
Real examples
Hair de Détente, a hair salon in Pénestin, and Murielle Magnétiseuse, a magnetism and hypnosis practitioner, each have a custom small business website. Both chose the offer with an admin area (€1,990), so they update prices, photo gallery and testimonials themselves; without the admin area, the website is the same and I make the changes for you. You'll find them in my portfolio.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a small business website cost?
A custom small business website starts at €990, hosting and domain name included for the first year, and €1,990 with an admin area. If a single page is enough, the one-page website starts at €590. The exact price depends on the number of pages and features: you get a detailed quote before any commitment.
How many pages does a small business website need?
Usually five or six: a home page, your services, an about page, your work or a gallery, contact and legal notice. One clear page per service works better than a single page that says everything.
How long does it take to build a small business website?
About one week between the accepted quote and launch for a standard website, longer depending on complexity. The timeline mostly depends on the number of pages and how quickly you send texts and photos; it is stated on the quote.
Will I own the website?
Yes. Once the website is paid in full, the texts, images and code are yours. The domain name is registered in your name or transferred to you on request, and I hand over the source code whenever you want.
What happens after the first year?
Hosting and the domain name renew every year at cost, with no markup (the rate is stated on your quote), and I let you know before they're due. You can also switch to the maintenance plan, or host the site elsewhere.
Will I be able to edit my website myself?
Yes, with the €1,990 offer: a custom admin area lets you change texts, prices, photos and testimonials without any technical knowledge, and I train you to use it. Otherwise, you send me the change and I take care of it: small fixes are included in the maintenance plan, and without the plan, the change is quoted before it is made.
Will my website rank well on Google?
It will be delivered technically optimized: tags, speed, mobile version, structured data and sitemap. Rankings then also depend on competition, content and the links pointing to your site. I explain what can improve your visibility.
Do you work remotely?
Yes. Everything is done remotely, by email, phone, video call or WhatsApp, with a reply within 12 business hours (Paris time). You don't need to travel: I handle the launch, the domain name and hosting.
