How do you handle our customers' data under EU GDPR?

Your customer data is governed by the EU GDPR, enforced by the CNIL, and sending it to a developer in Pakistan is a restricted transfer. That is resolved by a DPA with EU Standard Contractual Clauses, published on this site and pre-signed before you send an enquiry — not drafted after you ask about it.

What payment methods can my Bordeaux checkout accept?

For France: Cartes Bancaires, Stripe, Lydia, and PayPal. The right combination depends on your average basket and your customers, and picking wrong is expensive — the payment method a buyer expects but cannot find is one of the most common reasons a checkout is abandoned at the final step.

How long does a Bordeaux project actually take?

Three days for a business site, seven for a store, ten for a custom application. That holds because the process is fixed rather than improvised and because your content exists on day one. What stretches a build is almost never the code — it is waiting for copy, logos and photographs, so those are requested before the clock starts.

What hours will you be available to us in Bordeaux?

My working day lands at 06:00–15:00 in your time, which is roughly 6 hours inside a normal Bordeaux working day. In practice you can raise something in the morning and have it answered the same morning, and a scheduled call is easy to place at a civilised hour for both of us.

Do you actually work with businesses in Bordeaux?

Yes, remotely. I work with French clients from Islamabad, quoting in EUR and invoicing in EUR. I have no office, address or phone number in Bordeaux and will not pretend otherwise. If your project needs someone physically present, hire locally — I will say so in the first reply rather than after a deposit.

How much does a website cost in Bordeaux?

A business website starts from €75 and goes live in about three days. An e-commerce build starts from €140 in around seven days, and a custom application from €180 in ten. Those are starting figures — the exact number is fixed in writing once scope is agreed, and it does not move after that.

What currency will I be invoiced in?

EUR. Quotes, milestones and the final invoice are all written in EUR so you are never comparing a converted figure against a local supplier's. Regarding tax: VAT at 20%, reverse-charged.

Landing page design and development in Bordeaux

A landing page is not a short website. It is one page with one job, and everything that does not serve that job is actively costing you — a navigation bar on a paid landing page is a set of exits you paid for the click to reach. For Bordeaux businesses, quoted in EUR from $40, typically live in 2 days.

What landing page design and development includes for a Bordeaux business

Fixed scope, agreed in writing before development starts. From $40, typically live in 2 days.

One page, one conversion action, agreed in writing before the design starts
Above-the-fold offer and call to action visible on a phone without scrolling
Conversion-focused structure: problem, proof, objection handling, action
Form or booking flow with server-side validation and spam protection that is not a CAPTCHA wall
Sub-second render on 4G — no framework runtime, no render-blocking third-party scripts
Conversion tracking wired up, so the page can be judged rather than admired
Thank-you page and confirmation email, because the flow does not end at submit
A/B-ready structure if you intend to test variants later

Why this matters for France specifically

The CNIL enforces cookie rules more aggressively than most EU regulators, and "refuse all" must be as easy as "accept all". A French site running a standard one-button banner is carrying a known, fineable defect.

Accessibility on a Bordeaux build, and why it is not optional

Keyboard navigation, real contrast ratios, form labels that are actually associated with their inputs, and alt text that describes rather than repeats. None of it is expensive when built in from the start and all of it is expensive to retrofit, which is the entire argument for doing it in the first pass.

The commercial case is simpler than the legal one: a site that a screen reader can navigate is a site that a search engine can parse, because both are reading the same semantic structure. Accessibility work and technical SEO overlap far more than either discipline usually admits, and in Bordeaux the same build serves both.

Hospitality and venues in Bordeaux

Restaurants, cafés, hotels and venues are judged on four things a visitor looks for immediately: today's opening hours, the menu or rate as a readable page, real photographs of the actual room, and how to book. Everything else on a hospitality site is decoration arranged around those four.

The PDF menu deserves its own warning. It is invisible to search engines, unreadable on a phone without pinch-zoom, and it is the most common reason a Bordeaux venue never appears for searches naming the dishes it serves. Menus belong in HTML.

The contact form that silently fails

The most expensive bug on a small business website makes no noise at all. A form posts, shows a thank-you message, and the email never arrives — usually because the host's mail function is unauthenticated and the receiving server drops it without a bounce. The business concludes demand fell.

The fix is authenticated SMTP with SPF, DKIM and DMARC configured on the sending domain, plus a database write so a submission survives even when delivery fails. If you are unsure whether your Bordeaux site has this problem, submit your own form from a phone on mobile data and see what actually arrives.

What I am not claiming about Bordeaux

I have no office, postal address or phone number in Bordeaux
I cannot meet you in person, and if that is a requirement you should hire locally
I am not claiming existing clients in Bordeaux specifically — my live work is listed on the work page and you can check it
Nothing on this page is a guarantee of search rankings, which no developer can honestly offer
