SEO, security and hosting in France or Switzerland
What does not show on a mock-up, but decides whether your site gets found, whether it stays up, and where your data lives.
Getting found
Search engine optimisation starts in the code:
- one page for each thing your customers search for, with a clear address;
- an editable title and description for each page;
- structured data: your company, your services, your frequent questions, the breadcrumb;
- an up-to-date sitemap, with no empty pages indexed;
- images at the right size, fonts served by the site, scripts loaded only where they are used;
- at every redesign, old addresses redirected to the new ones.
Staying up
A safe site is first a simple site:
- few plugins, carefully chosen: the features of your site are in our code;
- updates followed;
- accounts with only the permissions needed;
- forms protected against robots;
- backups, and a site that can recover.
And performance that takes the load: we developed a shop that took 2,000 orders in one day of private sales, and a site that received 20,000 simultaneous visitors.
Choosing where your site lives
Your site and its data can be hosted in France or in Switzerland. We help you choose according to your customers and your obligations, then we set the hosting up: domain name, certificate, e-mail, backups.

Questions about SEO, security and hosting
Can you guarantee first place on Google?
No, and nobody honestly can. We build a site that search engines understand and that responds fast; your content does the rest.
Can my current site be moved to Switzerland?
Yes. We move the site, its files and its database, then the domain name, keeping the interruption to a minimum.
Who takes care of updates?
We can take care of them after going live. The quote says so.
