Approach
What a business owner worries about before ordering a website.
02
“I will be stuck in a subscription”
The website is yours as soon as it is paid for. The monthly plan is optional and stops whenever you want.
03
“It will be a template, like everyone else’s”
A mockup designed for your business, which you approve before development.
04
“Nobody will find me on Google”
Every page is written around what your customers search for near you, and the website is linked to your Google Business Profile.
05
“I don’t have time to deal with it”
One call, your photos, your answers to a few questions. I do the rest and you approve.
06
“I won’t know how to update it”
With the monthly plan, you message me and it gets changed. Changing your opening hours or a price takes no tool on your side.
Method
Why so many websites bring in nothing, and what I do to avoid it.
- 53%
of visits on a phone are abandoned when the page takes more than 3 seconds to load.
Source: Google, The Need for Mobile Speed (2016)A slow website loses one customer in two before it has said hello.
My answerA website written from scratch, with no theme and no plugins, designed for the phone first.
- 64%
of French small and medium-sized businesses already have a website.
Source: Baromètre France Num 2026Having a website is no longer enough: it has to be you they find.
My answerEvery page is written around what your customers type into Google, in your town.
- 97%
of consumers read online reviews before choosing a local business.
Source: BrightLocal, Local Consumer Review Survey 2026 (US)People judge you before they walk through your door.
My answerYour Google reviews featured on the website, and your Google Business Profile linked to every page.
All of this is decided before I write a single line of code.
My method
Seven steps, zero surprises.
- One point of contact, from the first call to launch.
- You have nothing to manage: I move forward, I show you, you approve.
- Step 01 / 07 · Free call
UnderstandFree · €0
Before talking about a website, I listen: your business, your customers, what the website should bring you. Free, no obligation.
Approval pointPackage, price and schedule approvedYour business
- What you do, who your customers are, the area you serve
- What sets you apart from the business next door

- Your domain name, if you have one

My proposal

- The useful add-ons, priced one by one

Compliance
What French law requires of your website, and that nobody tells you.
A non-compliant website exposes its owner, not the person who built it. Here is what I check on every website before it goes live.
Legal notice
What the law says : Every business website must say who publishes it: name, address, SIRET number, host, publication manager.
The risk€75,000 fine for a sole proprietor, €375,000 for a company, when it is missing.
Source: Service-Public
What I doWritten for your business, kept up to date, reachable from every page.
Personal data
What the law says : GDPR applies as soon as a contact form collects data: you must say which data, why, and how long you keep it.
The risk€1,500 fine if a mandatory piece of information is missing. The CNIL can go up to €20,000 under its simplified procedure, and up to €20 million or 4% of turnover in serious cases.
Source: Service-Public, CNIL
What I doPrivacy policy, a notice under every form, and only the data you actually need.
Cookies
What the law says : No tracker may be set before the visitor chooses, and refusing must be as easy as accepting.
What I doNo tracker by default. If one is needed, a banner with “Reject all” at the same level as “Accept all”.
Terms of sale
What the law says : As soon as you sell or take bookings online, your terms must be readable before the order.
What I doI tell you what your business requires and I place your terms at the right step of the journey.
Accessibility
What the law says : Since June 28, 2025, online shops must be usable by people with disabilities. Businesses with fewer than 10 employees are exempt.
The riskEnforced by the DGCCRF. For a small business it is not an obligation, but your visually impaired or elderly customers do exist.
Source: DGCCRF
What I doReadable contrast, keyboard navigation, described images, labeled forms: on every website, required or not.
Security
What the law says : A data breach must be reported to the CNIL within 72 hours. A website without the padlock drives customers away right now.
The riskWhen a website is hacked, it is your name that shows next to the browser warning.
Source: CNIL
What I doEncrypted connection (https), protection against common attacks, no plugins to update.
Amounts are the maximums set by French law, checked on November 16, 2026. I am not a lawyer: I bring your website in line on these points, and I tell you when a question needs a legal professional.
Packages
Three packages. Three listed prices.
You know what you will pay before you call me. You pay the price once, and the website is yours.

Riviera Web Studio compared with the other options
The real question is not the price of the first month. It is what you will have paid in three years, and what you will be left with.
- The path of a template website: three steps, and the subscription starts.
- What I add, between, around and after.
Brief
A form to fill out, a template to pick.
Local searches
What your customers type into Google, page by page.
Plan and content
Text that leads to action
Every page says what to do: call, book, come by.
Custom mockup
Designed for your business, on a phone first, approved by you.
Build
Your text pasted into the template.
Custom code
No theme, no plugins: pages that load fast.
Legal pages
Legal notice and privacy policy written for your business.
Google Business Profile linked
Your business listing and your website point to each other.
Going live
The website is live. The subscription starts.
Data Google can read
Opening hours, address and business type shown in the search results.
A website that belongs to you
Optional monthly plan, changes with a simple message, code handed over if you leave.
After
Going live is only one step out of five. What happens before and after decides what the website brings you.
| Criterion | Riviera Web Studio | Subscription website | Do it yourself |
|---|---|---|---|
| Point of contact | Me, from the first call to launch | A salesperson, then a customer service desk | Just you, in the evening, after closing |
| Price | Listed, paid once | Setup fees, then a high monthly fee | A few euros a month, plus your hours |
| Commitment | None: the monthly plan is optional | Often 12 to 60 months | None, but everything depends on the tool |
| Ownership | The website, the code and the domain name are yours | The website often stops when the contract does | The website cannot leave the tool |
| Design | A mockup designed for your business | A template picked from a catalog | A template you adapt yourself |
| Speed | Custom code, designed for the phone | Varies by platform | Varies by template and plugins |
| Pages written around your local searches, Google Business Profile linked | Often sold as an extra | To learn as you go | |
| Changes | You message me, it is done: included in the monthly plan | A support ticket, sometimes billed | Yours to do |
Commitment
Your website belongs to you. No forced subscription, in writing.
The listed price is the price you pay. The website, the code and the domain name are in your name. The monthly plan stops when you decide, and you leave with everything.
“A rented website stops when the contract does. Yours stays.”

FAQ
Do you have questions?
If yours is not here, ask it during the free call. You get a straight answer.
At Riviera Web Studio, three listed prices: €990 for a one-page website, €1,890 for a showcase website of 5 to 6 pages, €3,490 for a bilingual website of 10 pages or more with online booking or ordering.
You pay the price once. Add-ons are priced in advance: English version at €350, booking at €250, text writing at €90 per page. My business is exempt from VAT under the French small-business scheme: the listed price is the price you pay.
No. It is optional and comes with no commitment: €39, €49 or €79 a month depending on the package. It covers hosting, the domain name, the security certificate, backups and your small changes.
You can stop it whenever you want, and it ends at the end of the current month. I then hand over the code and all the access details, and you host the website wherever you like.
40% when you order, 60% on delivery, before the website goes live. Payment in three installments at no extra cost is possible on request.
The monthly plan, if you take it, starts the day the website goes live.
About 2 weeks for a one-page website, 3 to 4 weeks for a showcase website, 5 to 6 weeks for the Premium package.
The clock starts once I have your content: logo, photos, answers to my questions. The launch date is set during the first call.
You do, entirely, as soon as it is paid for: the design, the code and the content. The domain name is registered in your name.
No technical lock-in. If you ever want to work with someone else, they take over the website as it is.
No. I ask you the right questions during a call and I shape your answers into text. With the Premium package, or as an add-on at €90 per page, I write the text for you.
For photos, the ones from your phone are often enough if they are taken in daylight: I sort them and crop them. I tell you exactly which ones to take.
It is built for that: every page is written around what your customers search for in your town, the website is submitted to Google at launch and linked to your Google Business Profile.
Nobody can guarantee first place, and I do not promise it. What I guarantee is a website that is fast, readable by Google and written with the right words: the foundation without which nothing shows up.
You send me a message, it gets changed. The monthly plan includes 30 minutes to 2 hours of changes per month, depending on the package.
Without the plan, changes are priced in advance, on request.
Yes. I keep what works (your text, your photos, your domain name) and I redo the rest. The old addresses are redirected to the new ones so you don’t lose your position on Google.
If your current website is under contract, check the end date and the notice period before committing elsewhere: I help you read the terms during the first call.
A do-it-yourself tool costs little, but it costs you your evenings, and the website cannot leave the tool.
A subscription website is handled for you, but you pay every month, often with a commitment of one to five years, and the website generally stops when the contract does.
Here, you pay once for a website designed for your business, and it belongs to you.
Custom code, with Next.js, the technology I use for my own websites. No WordPress, no theme, no plugins to update.
The result: pages that load fast on a phone, few ways in for an attacker, and a website that does not break on its own.
The Premium package covers booking, appointment scheduling and simple online ordering, for example in-store pickup.
For a full store with a catalog, inventory and shipping, bring it up during the call: I will tell you frankly whether I am the right person, and at what price.
I am based in Antibes and I am happy to travel between Cannes and Nice. But everything can be done remotely, by phone and video call: I can work with a business anywhere in France.
You receive in writing the package I recommend, its price and the launch date. Then you decide, at your own pace: I do not chase you.
