My services
Solutions that bring value to your projects and maximize your impact
Each service is designed to address a specific business need, not just to tick a technical box. Whether you are starting from scratch or looking to evolve an existing project, every intervention aims to add value to your business, maximize your visibility and give you a concrete edge in your market.
Every project starts with a clear question: what problem are we solving? The tech stack — WordPress, Angular, Astro or custom framework — is then chosen based on your real constraints: budget, maintainability and expected traffic. The result is a fast, secure and SEO-ready website, built to grow with your business.
An internal CRM, a real-time dashboard, a business API — custom applications built to automate your processes and eliminate repetitive tasks. The architecture is designed in decoupled layers (JavaScript/TypeScript front-end, REST API back-end) to ease maintenance and handle growing traffic.
Over 60% of web traffic comes from mobile: every interface is designed with a mobile-first approach, then enhanced for tablet and desktop. Images, lazy loading and fluid typography are optimized to ensure fast load times and comfortable navigation on all screens.
Unmaintained websites accumulate security vulnerabilities — outdated dependencies are the leading cause of CMS compromises. Proactive support covers regular dependency updates, automated backups, uptime monitoring and rapid fixes — so your site stays secure, performant and reliable over time.
Hands-on sessions built around real cases from your daily professional life. Whether mastering office basics or leveling up on HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Angular or Git, each course is tailored to your level and leads to practical exercises you can apply immediately.
With 18 years of enterprise experience behind every mission, your teams get targeted technical reinforcement: code review, automated testing setup, architectural guidance or skills transfer. The goal is always the same — your team leaves more autonomous than when it started.
Areas of expertise
The technical know-how that makes the difference on your project
Web project management
From corporate showcases to e-commerce sites, intranets and mobile applications, I build web projects tailored to every context. Each project is designed to reflect your brand and meet the expectations of your users.
Business applications & admin tools
Development of custom business applications and back-offices using NodeJS, Java, SQL, React and Angular. These internal tools automate your processes, centralize your data and simplify the daily management of your business.
CMS management
Installation, configuration and customization of CMS platforms such as WordPress, Joomla and Prestashop. These platforms let you manage your content independently, with an intuitive back-office and extensions tailored to your needs.
Coding standards and best practices
Strict adherence to development best practices for readable, maintainable and well-documented code. This rigor ensures the sustainability of your project, facilitates future evolutions and reduces maintenance costs in the long term.
Natural SEO
Technical and semantic optimization of your website to improve its visibility on search engines. Clean HTML structure, schema.org markup, optimized loading times and targeted content to attract qualified, long-lasting traffic.
Accessibility & usability
Developer trained and certified in RGAA and WCAG accessibility standards. I design interfaces usable by everyone, including people with disabilities, while improving overall usability and browsing comfort for all visitors.
Multi-platform support
Every website and application is built to run smoothly on all devices: desktop, tablet and smartphone. The responsive design automatically adapts to the screen size to deliver an optimal experience everywhere.
Technologies and frameworks mastered
How I work
A structured 6-step process so you stay in control from A to Z
Meeting
An informal first meeting over coffee or video call to get to know each other, understand your business, your goals and your constraints. This step lays the foundation for a tailor-made collaboration and outlines the main directions of the project.
Analysis
In-depth study of your functional and technical needs to draft a detailed specification. I analyze your market, your competitors and your target users to propose a relevant solution, along with a clear and transparent quote.
Design
Graphic mockup design and definition of your project's visual identity. Every screen is crafted for intuitive navigation and an aesthetic result consistent with your brand, then validated with you before development begins.
Development
Development of your custom solution using the most suitable technologies. The code follows best practices, is versioned and documented. Regular progress updates keep you informed of the project's advancement.
Testing
Functional, compatibility and performance testing phase to ensure the quality of the delivered solution. Every feature is validated across different browsers and devices to guarantee flawless operation before going live.
Delivery
Deployment of your project to production and hosting configuration. I support you during the launch with onboarding training and remain available for any technical assistance after going live.
About
A single, technical and available point of contact, invested in your success
Who am I?
Software engineer for over 18 years, I have supported companies of all sizes — from startups to major groups like Capgemini and CGI — in designing robust and scalable web applications.
Full-stack developer, I enjoy architecting a solid back-end as much as polishing an intuitive user interface. Open source contributor on Keycloak, I stay curious and constantly learning.
When I'm not coding, I play guitar, compose on Cubase or explore cliffs while rock climbing. These passions fuel my creativity and my taste for well-crafted challenges.
Full-stack, from A to Z
From front-end to back-end, with Docker and CI/CD for deployment. Mastering the entire stack enables coherent architectures where each layer communicates efficiently, reduces back-and-forth between specialists and anticipates technical constraints from the design phase.
Flexible pricing
Whether you are a startup, an SME or an individual, I adapt to your budget to offer you a tailor-made solution. Payment in installments available, free and non-binding quote. Every project is unique: pricing is adjusted based on the complexity and scope we define together.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you want to know before getting started
Working with a freelancer
Why choose a freelancer over an agency?
With a freelancer, you have a single point of contact from start to finish: the same person analyses your needs, develops the solution and handles follow-up. No handoffs between sales, project manager and developer — decisions are fast, timelines shorter and communication direct. The overhead costs of an agency (offices, managers, commercial margins) are absent, which often results in better value for an equivalent service.
How does communication work throughout the project?
Every project starts with a kick-off call or meeting to align expectations. Regular check-ins are then scheduled at whatever cadence suits you (weekly or bi-weekly). Exchanges happen by email, video call or messaging according to your preferences. A demo environment is made available so you can validate each stage before going live.
Is it possible to meet in person?
Yes. Based in Boisseron (Hérault), travel is possible within roughly 100km for kick-off or sign-off meetings. For more distant clients, video calls cover all needs without any loss of efficiency. Many successful projects have been delivered entirely remotely.
What happens if the result doesn't meet my expectations?
Each key milestone is validated before moving to the next: wireframes, prototype, development, testing. Revision rounds are included in the quote to refine the output. Any gap with the original specification is corrected at no extra cost. Changes outside the agreed scope are billed at the hourly rate, always with prior agreement.
Building a website
How does a website project unfold from A to Z?
The project follows five phases: (1) Scoping — analysis of your goals, target audience and competition; (2) Design — information architecture and visual mockups; (3) Development — integration and programming; (4) Testing — technical checks, responsive and accessibility review; (5) Go-live — deployment, DNS configuration and handover. You are involved at every key validation point.
How long does it take to build a website?
A WordPress showcase site typically takes 3 to 6 weeks. A custom site or web application requires 6 to 16 weeks depending on complexity. These timelines also depend on how quickly you can provide content and sign off on each stage. A detailed schedule with milestones is provided at the start of the project.
Do I need to provide texts and images?
In most cases, yes: you are best placed to describe your business. Brief templates are provided to guide you. Royalty-free stock photos can be integrated if you don't have your own. SEO-optimised copywriting and image editing are available as add-ons. The sooner content is provided, the faster the project moves.
How will my site appear on Google?
Search engine optimisation (SEO) is built in from the development phase: title and meta description tags, semantic HTML structure, clean URLs, optimised Core Web Vitals, XML sitemap and robots.txt. For local businesses, a Google Business profile and Schema.org structured data complete the setup. Meaningful results typically appear 3 to 6 months after launch.
Why is it so expensive?
Why are freelance developer rates so high?
The daily rate covers far more than development time. A freelancer single-handedly bears social contributions (around 45% of turnover), health insurance, ongoing training, tools (licences, hosting, equipment) and unbillable periods. Add 18 years of accumulated expertise — a guarantee of durable solutions and fewer costly mistakes. The total cost of a well-built project is often lower than that of a poorly conceived one that has to be redone.
Can you find cheaper with a low-cost provider?
Offers at €200 exist, often based on generic templates, difficult communication and no support after delivery. Initial savings frequently turn into extra costs: rebuild for mobile non-compliance, security fixes, data loss. A site that generates conversions or seriously reflects your brand is an investment, not an expense. The cost of a poorly built site is measured in missed opportunities.
Is it possible to pay in instalments?
Yes, staged payment is systematically offered. The standard structure is: 30% on signing, 40% on mockup approval, 30% on delivery. For larger projects, monthly payment schedules can be negotiated. No additional fees apply for spreading payments. The goal is to make quality work accessible regardless of the size of your organisation.
Are prices fixed or negotiable?
Listed rates are indicative starting points. Every quote is tailored to the exact scope, technical complexity and desired timeline. A project with ready-made content and standard requirements will cost less than a complex one with multiple integrations. The quote is free, non-binding and broken down line by line so you understand precisely what you are paying for.
After delivery
Can my site evolve after delivery?
Absolutely. Applications are designed with a modular architecture precisely to allow evolution without starting from scratch. Adding a page, a feature or a module is done incrementally. A technical handover document is provided at delivery to facilitate future work, including by another provider if you wish.
Do you offer a maintenance contract?
Yes. A maintenance contract covers security updates, uptime monitoring, automatic backups and a monthly quota of corrective work hours. Preventive maintenance avoids costly outages and security vulnerabilities that expose your data and your clients' data. Rates are available in the Pricing section.
Is WordPress or custom development better?
It depends on your needs. WordPress is ideal for showcase sites and blogs: quick launch, autonomous content management, controlled cost. Custom development is the right choice for specific business processes, critical performance requirements or complex integrations. Both approaches can coexist: a custom front-end connected to a back-end API is a highly relevant middle ground.
