A site coded for your business in Aix

Website creation in Aix-en-Provence for local businesses

I build websites for shops, artisans, restaurants and independent professionals in Aix-en-Provence, on a monthly plan that covers design, hosting and every change you ask for. The Essential plan is €1 at the order then €39 a month, and the Visibility plan is €1 at the order then €79 a month, with four pages and four articles written every month for Google and the AI answer engines. The site is coded for your business, with no template and no WordPress, the domain name and the code are yours from day one, and going live usually takes less than 48 hours.

01

Why does a business in Aix need its own website?

A business in Aix-en-Provence needs its own website because its customers search on Google before they walk in, and a Google listing or an Instagram page can't answer questions about opening hours, prices or the exact service they're after. The guide for opening a shop published by the city in 2025 counts 2,300 shops, artisan businesses included, plus 850 bars and restaurants, according to the AUPA planning agency. With that much choice, someone who types your trade and the name of your neighbourhood compares three or four addresses in a few seconds, and they keep the one that shows clearly what it offers and at what price.

People in Aix search with the name of their neighbourhood or village as often as with the name of the town. They type « coiffeur Puyricard », « boulangerie Jas de Bouffan » or « plombier Luynes », because the commune is made of village cores that each live with their own shops, school and market day. A site that names those places on its pages, with an exact address and a map, shows up on those searches, while a social media page almost never does. The same thing happens with visitors who search « near me » from the cours Mirabeau on a Saturday in May, which the city measures as the busiest day and month in the centre.

I sell a monthly plan rather than a four figure quote because a neighbourhood business shouldn't have to tie up that much money to be found. The website paid monthly bundles the design, hosting, daily backups, security monitoring and text and image changes delivered within forty eight working hours, with a monthly report on traffic and uptime. You know the first year total before you sign, and if you're looking for an affordable website that doesn't look like a rushed one page job, the Essential plan was built for exactly that situation.

02

Which neighbourhoods of Aix-en-Provence and nearby towns do I cover?

I work with businesses in the historic centre and in every neighbourhood of Aix-en-Provence, from the cours Mirabeau and rue Espariat to the Allées Provençales, and in the nine village cores the city protects with a commerce and crafts safeguard perimeter, namely Célony, Luynes, Les Milles, Puyricard, Encagnane, Pont de l'Arc, Pont de Béraud, Pont des Trois Sautets and Jas de Bouffan. The business zones of La Duranne and the Aix-Les Milles activity hub host service and research companies that also need a clear site for their professional clients, with a page for each service and a contact form that lands in the right inbox.

The neighbouring communes are inside the area I cover, with Venelles, Éguilles, Le Tholonet, Meyreuil, Gardanne, Bouc-Bel-Air, Cabriès, Vitrolles and Ventabren, and a little further out Le Puy-Sainte-Réparade or Saint-Cannat towards the Durance. A tradesman in Gardanne who drives up to Aix should say so in black and white on a dedicated page, and so should a shop in Venelles that delivers across the pays d'Aix, because Google doesn't guess your service area. If your business also reaches the Rhône valley, the page on website creation in Avignon describes the same service for that area.

The trades I meet most in Aix are the ones the city itself lists in its commerce plan, pharmacies, caterers, butchers, bakeries, greengrocers, wine shops, cheese shops, florists, hairdressers, cobblers, driving schools, dry cleaners and art craftspeople, along with the restaurants and bars of the centre, the lawyers and other professionals settled around the courts, and the building firms that renovate bastides and old apartments. Each of these trades has one precise question the site must answer first, the price of a haircut, today's menu, the delivery area or how long a quote takes, and a site designed for a tradesman won't look like the one for a caterer.

Take a caterer based in Puyricard who delivers to Venelles, Éguilles and the centre of Aix. Their site would have a home page that says in one sentence what they cook and for whom, a menu page with prices per person, a page for each type of event (a wedding in Le Tholonet, a company lunch in La Duranne, a birthday buffet at home), a page listing the communes they deliver to with the ordering lead time, a gallery of photos of real plates, a quote form with three fields and the Google reviews shown under the map. The market days on place Richelme and the cours Mirabeau would sit in the footer, where their customers run into them.

03

How do you get found on Google in Aix-en-Provence?

Getting found on Google in Aix-en-Provence takes a complete Google Business Profile, a site that answers local searches with a page per neighbourhood or per service, and recent reviews you reply to. The typical searches are « électricien Aix-en-Provence », « restaurant Aix centre » or « coiffeur Jas de Bouffan », mostly from a phone, and Google shows the map with three listings first, then the websites. You need to appear in both places, and the listing sends people to the site for hours, prices and contact, which it can't do on its own.

With the Visibility plan I write four pages and four articles every month on verified keywords, for example a page for « traiteur mariage pays d'Aix » or an article answering « what does a facade renovation cost in Aix », with the structured data and internal links that help Google, ChatGPT and Perplexity cite your business in their answers. I also send you a monthly report on your local positions. To understand how it works, the article on local SEO for a small business explains what Google really looks at before ranking an address.

Aix has one particular trait, a tourist and student crowd that searches in English as much as in French, in a commune that had 149,695 inhabitants in 2023 according to INSEE. A business that wants both audiences can ask for an English version of its main pages, which I quote alongside the plan and deliver inside the same site, with no second site to maintain. Seasonal searches, the summer calades provençales, the start of the university year or the Christmas chalets on the cours Mirabeau, are prepared with a page published a few weeks before the event, not the day before.

04

How does building your website in Aix work?

It starts with a one hour conversation, by video or in person in Aix when our diaries line up, during which I write down your trade, your services, the areas you cover and the questions your customers ask you on the phone. From there I write the page structure and the texts, then I design and code the site for your business, with no template, no page builder and no WordPress. You have nothing to install or learn, you send me your photos, your prices and your logo if you have one, and I take care of the rest.

You then receive a complete first version to review, on your phone and on your computer, and you send me your corrections in one go or in several messages. I adjust the texts, photos and colours until the result looks like you, then I run the site through a speed, accessibility and technical SEO check before it goes live. The domain name is registered in your name, the code is yours from day one, and you can ask for a full export of the site at any time, free of charge, even during the commitment period.

Going live usually happens less than 48 hours after the order, and the pace depends mostly on how fast you review. After that, every month, hosting, daily backups, security monitoring and technical fixes are included, and I deliver your text or image changes within forty eight working hours. The commitment is twelve months, then you can cancel any month with one month's notice, and the full detail of both plans is on the website creation pricing page.

06 The price

Why this price does not lower the quality

The price comes from how the site is built and maintained, not from a sacrifice on the design or the code.

01

A site designed and coded, not a template

No purchased theme, no page builder. The layout, the copy and the code are written for your business, after research on what your competitors do and on what your customers type into Google. Two clients never receive the same site.

02

Performance and security are measured

Before going live, every site passes a check on speed, accessibility and technical SEO, and it does not ship until the score is where it should be. A fast, clean site costs less to host and maintain, and that saving is in the price.

03

Automation pays the difference

Hosting, backups, monitoring and the monthly report are automated, and I have spent sixteen years building this kind of tooling. Human time goes to the design, the copy and your change requests, not to the repetitive tasks others bill you for every month.

04

No financing, no hidden clause

You pay €1 or €1 at the order, then a monthly plan for twelve months, with no credit company and no lease contract. The first year total sits at the top of the quote, and the domain and the code stay yours, with an export of the site within 15 days on request.

07

Questions about website creation in Aix-en-Provence

How much does website creation in Aix-en-Provence cost?

The Essential plan costs €1 at the order then €39 a month, which makes €469 excluding tax for the first year, with hosting, backups, security and edits included. The Visibility plan costs €1 at the order then €79 a month, which makes €949 excluding tax for the first year, with four pages and four articles written every month. The first year total sits at the top of every quote.

Do I own the website or am I renting it?

You own the site from day one. The domain name is registered in your name and the source code belongs to you, which isn't the case with offers where the site stays the provider's property until the end of the contract. You can request a full export of the site at any time, it's delivered within fifteen days, free of charge, even during the twelve month commitment.

Do I still need a site if I already have a Google listing in Aix?

Yes, because the Google listing shows your address and reviews, but it doesn't present your services in detail, your prices or the areas you cover, and it doesn't belong to you. The site answers the questions a customer asks after seeing the listing, and Google uses it to decide which address to push forward on « traiteur Aix-en-Provence » or « plombier Luynes ».

Can you build a site for a tradesman in Gardanne or Venelles?

Yes, I work with businesses in every commune of the pays d'Aix, from Gardanne to Venelles through Éguilles, Le Tholonet, Meyreuil, Bouc-Bel-Air and Vitrolles. The site states precisely which communes you cover, with a dedicated page when an area matters to you, and the Google listing is set to the same perimeter so that both tell the same story.

How long does website creation in Aix-en-Provence take?

Usually less than 48 hours between the order and going live. I deliver a complete first version to review, you send back your corrections, I adjust, then the site passes a speed, accessibility and technical SEO check before it's published. The timing depends mostly on how quickly you review and send me your photos and prices.

What if I want an online shop later on?

An online shop, online booking and a client area aren't included in the two plans, they're quoted separately and added to the subscription when you need them. The site is coded so that these functions can be added later without rebuilding everything, which avoids starting from scratch the day your catering business or your shop in the centre of Aix wants to sell online.

08 Compare before you sign
