Websites on a monthly plan, Clermont-Ferrand and its metropolitan area

Website creation in Clermont-Ferrand

Your site goes live less than 48 hours after the order, on your own domain name, with code that belongs to you from day one, and I'm the one keeping it running afterwards. I design and code it from scratch for tradespeople, shopkeepers and freelancers in Clermont-Ferrand and its metropolitan area, from Chamalières to Cournon-d'Auvergne. The Essential plan costs €1 on order then €39 a month excluding tax, with hosting, security and changes included. The Visibility plan costs €1 on order then €79 a month and adds pages and articles every month, written for Google and for answer engines such as ChatGPT.

01

Why does a business in Clermont-Ferrand need its own website?

A business in Clermont-Ferrand needs its own website because a large share of its customers changes every year, between the students, more than 40,000 according to Wikipedia, who arrive in September knowing nobody, and the employees that Michelin and the laboratories bring in from all over France. Those people type 'plombier Clermont-Ferrand' or 'coiffeur Clermont Jaude' on their phone and call one of the first results. According to INSEE, the city had 146,351 inhabitants in 2023, and every day some of them look for a tradesperson or an address without a name in mind.

Clermont-Ferrand is also a city where people compare before they buy, because place de Jaude and its shopping centres, the Saint-Pierre covered market right next to it and the shops of Montferrand often give several addresses for the same need. A customer hesitating between two joiners or two restaurants looks at their sites, and picks the one that shows real finished jobs, accurate hours, a clear working area and a tappable number. A page on a social network doesn't hold up in that comparison, because it mixes everything together and it doesn't belong to you.

The monthly price is possible because everything that follows the launch, hosting, daily backups, security monitoring and the monthly report, is automated, and because I use neither a finance company nor a lease. You pay a setup fee and then an amount each month, which also covers technical fixes and text or image changes delivered within two working days, with no discount and no special offer, the same price for everyone. The website on a monthly subscription page describes this model, and the affordable custom website page explains what this price really includes.

02

Which districts of Clermont-Ferrand and which towns do I cover?

My working area runs from the centre of Clermont-Ferrand around Jaude to Montferrand, from Les Salins and Vallières to Saint-Jacques, from La Pardieu and Oradou to Croix-de-Neyrat and Champratel, and with those in the neighbouring towns, Chamalières, Aubière, Cournon-d'Auvergne, Gerzat and Lempdes. Each of these places has its own trading life and its own Google searches, and a useful site names these districts and towns by their real names, because that's how people phrase their need when they type from their phone.

According to INSEE, Clermont-Ferrand had 950 construction businesses at the end of 2024, joiners, plumbers, electricians and masons who work for houses in Chamalières as much as for apartment blocks in La Pardieu. Then there are the shopkeepers and restaurant owners of the centre and the Saint-Pierre market, the health professionals set up near the university hospital, the companies that live from Michelin's subcontracting and the laboratories, and the guest houses that host visitors to the Chaîne des Puys. Each family of trades gets different questions, and therefore needs different pages.

Take a joiner based in Cournon-d'Auvergne who works across the whole metropolitan area. His site would have a home page saying what he makes and fits, a windows and doors page with photos of his own jobs, a kitchen and wardrobe fitting page, a stairs and flooring page, one page for each town he works in most, Clermont-Ferrand, Cournon-d'Auvergne, Aubière and Lempdes, a reviews page pulling in his Google listing, and a contact page with a short form. Each page targets a real search, 'menuisier Cournon' or 'pose de fenêtres Clermont-Ferrand', and that structure is what moves it up the results.

I do the same thing, with different pages, for a restaurant in Montferrand, a hair salon in Chamalières, a physiotherapy practice in La Pardieu or a cleaning company working for the offices of Aubière, with pages that follow what customers ask. What I put forward for a manual trade is described on the website for tradespeople page. And if your customers also come from the Loire, I cover website creation in Saint-Étienne with the same formula and the same plan, without rebuilding a site each time.

03

How do you get found on Google in Clermont-Ferrand?

In Clermont-Ferrand, someone who types 'électricien Clermont-Ferrand', 'plombier Aubière' or 'coiffeur Clermont Jaude' on their phone first sees a map with a few listings, then websites, and both can be worked on. The map keeps the businesses whose listing, site and directories give the same name, the same address, the same number and the same hours. The sites that rise are those with a precise page for the service and the town requested, where a single page that talks about everything ranks for nothing. My article on local SEO for a small business explains the settings that really matter.

The Google Business Profile of a business in Clermont-Ferrand needs a visit every month, because hours change during the August holidays, photos of jobs age and reviews pile up without an answer. An approximate main category is enough to push the listing down the map. On the Visibility plan I look after it along with the rest, I add photos of your new jobs, I answer reviews with you, and I send you a report on your positions in Clermont-Ferrand and the towns of the metropolitan area, which shows the effect of an added page or a corrected category from one month to the next.

Some residents now ask their questions to ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google's AI Overviews, which quote precise pages rather than directories. For that reason the Visibility plan adds four pages and four articles every month, written on verified searches, for instance the price of fitting windows in Clermont-Ferrand or the steps to insulate a house in Chamalières, with structured data and links between the pages. A homeowner in Gerzat or Lempdes who asks an assistant their question then lands on your page, and this content stays in place months after publication.

04

How does building your website in Clermont-Ferrand work?

The first conversation is about understanding who your customers are, students arriving in September, families in Chamalières, companies in the Aubière business area or visitors passing through on their way to the volcanoes, and what they ask you on the phone. It happens at your place in Clermont-Ferrand or by video call, whichever suits you. I come out of it with your services, your towns, your photos, your logo and your texts if you have any, I look at your Google listing and the sites of your direct competitors, then I design and code a complete first version of the site, without a template or a page builder, sent on a private link.

You review that first version at your own pace, alone or with the person who answers the phone at your business, because they're often the one who knows what customers really ask. You tell me what's missing or what sounds wrong, and I correct it until everything is right. The site then passes a check on speed, accessibility and technical SEO, with a check on a phone, and it goes live after your approval, usually less than 48 hours after the order, sooner if your feedback comes back quickly.

The commitment is twelve months, then you stop whichever month you want with one month's notice, and during all that time I'm the one keeping the site running. Text and image changes are delivered within two working days, backups and monitoring run every day, and a monthly report gives you traffic and uptime. The domain name is in your name, the code belongs to you, and a full export is delivered within fifteen days on request, free of charge, even before the end of the commitment. Both plans and the first year total are on the website subscription 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

Frequently asked questions about website creation in Clermont-Ferrand

How much does website creation cost in Clermont-Ferrand?

Essential is €1 on order then €39 a month excluding tax, which is €469 for the first year. Visibility is €1 on order then €79 a month, which is €949 for the first year, for €40 more a month that pays for four pages and four articles written every month. There's no discount, and the first year total sits at the top of every quote.

How long does website creation take in Clermont-Ferrand?

Usually less than 48 hours between the order and going live. I deliver a complete first version on a private link, you review it, I apply your corrections, and the site goes live after your approval. The pace depends mostly on your feedback, and a joiner or a plumber busy on site can let me write the texts from a few photos and two or three lines per service.

Can the site also target customers in Riom or Issoire?

Yes, and it's common for a tradesperson in the metropolitan area who works as far as Riom or Issoire. Each town your customers come from can have its own page, with the services you provide there, and that page is what comes up when someone types 'menuisier Riom'. On Essential, a page added after launch gets a small quote, and on Visibility it's covered by the four pages written every month.

Do the domain name and the site's code belong to me?

Yes, from the order onwards, not at the end of the commitment. The domain name is in your name, the code is yours, and if you ask for a full export I deliver it within fifteen days, free of charge, even inside the twelve month commitment. Stop the plan later and you keep the site, to host wherever you like.

Do you travel to Clermont-Ferrand and the towns of the metropolitan area?

Yes, I come into the metropolitan area when a visit adds something, to photograph a workshop in Cournon-d'Auvergne, a dining room in Montferrand or a job in Chamalières. Aubière, Gerzat and Lempdes are within my area. For the review and the corrections, video calls and phone are enough and take less of your time than a meeting.

Is an online shop or a booking system included in the plan?

No, an online shop, a booking system, a client area or a feature specific to your trade need specific development, and I quote them separately after discussing them with you, on top of the plan. Both plans cover a complete brochure site, with its pages, its photos, its contact form and its call button, and an extra page on Essential gets a small quote.
