How much does a website cost in Strasbourg?

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.

Do you actually work with businesses in Strasbourg?

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 Strasbourg 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.

Who owns the website when it is finished?

You do, completely. The domain is registered in your name, hosting sits in your account, the code lives in a repository you control, and any payment provider account is opened in your business name. Credentials are handed to you as they are created rather than at the end, so you are never locked out of your own site.

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.

Do you build on WordPress or something custom?

Whichever the project justifies. WordPress when you need to edit content constantly and want a familiar admin. A static build when speed and security matter more than a plugin ecosystem. Custom PHP and MySQL when the logic is genuinely yours. The choice is explained in the quote with its trade-offs, not presented as a foregone conclusion.

What happens if I am not happy with the result?

Work is delivered in milestones against a written scope, and you review each one on a staging URL before it is paid for. If the delivered milestone does not match the scope, it gets corrected before anything moves forward. That structure exists so disagreement is resolved at the stage it happens rather than at the end when it is expensive.

Do I need to provide the content and images?

Content, yes — you know your business and I do not. I will restructure and edit what you send so it reads for the web, and I will tell you where a section is missing. Photography is worth paying a local photographer for; stock images of people in offices are recognisable as stock and quietly cost you credibility.

Website speed and performance optimisation in Strasbourg

A Lighthouse score on a developer laptop with fibre broadband is not a measurement of your site — it is a measurement of the laptop. The work here is judged on field data from real visitors on real phones, which is also the data Google actually uses. For Strasbourg businesses, quoted in EUR from $80, typically live in 4 days.

What website speed and performance optimisation includes for a Strasbourg business

Fixed scope, agreed in writing before development starts. From $80, typically live in 4 days.

Field-data baseline from Chrome UX Report where your traffic supports it, plus throttled lab testing where it does not
Largest Contentful Paint work: the actual LCP element identified, then preloaded, resized and served in a modern format
Interaction to Next Paint work, which usually means shipping less JavaScript rather than reordering it
Cumulative Layout Shift eliminated: dimensions on media, reserved space for embeds, metric-matched font fallbacks
Render path fixed — critical CSS, deferred non-essential script, and third-party tags audited for what they cost
Image pipeline: AVIF and WebP with correct srcset, and lazy loading applied below the fold only
Caching and compression configured at the server, including long-lived immutable assets
A before-and-after report with the numbers and the method, so you can reproduce it rather than trust it

The terms for a French client

Starting price	From $80, quoted and invoiced in EUR
Typical timeline	4 days once content is supplied
Tax position	VAT at 20%, reverse-charged
Data protection	the EU GDPR, enforced by the CNIL — resolved by a DPA with EU Standard Contractual Clauses
Payment rails available	Cartes Bancaires, Stripe, Lydia, and PayPal
My day in Strasbourg time	06:00–15:00 — about 6 hours of overlap

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.

How a Strasbourg project is paid for, and why it is staged

Payment is split across milestones tied to things you can actually look at — a staging URL, a working checkout, a completed migration — rather than to dates on a calendar. You pay for a milestone after reviewing it, in EUR, which means at no point are you more than one stage out of pocket on work you have not seen.

This exists because the alternative puts all the risk on whichever side pays first, and across a border that asymmetry is the thing that makes people nervous. Staging it does not eliminate the risk; it caps it at one milestone, which is small enough to walk away from. That is a more honest offer than a guarantee I could not enforce from here anyway.

Property, lettings and estate agencies in Strasbourg

Property sites live or die on search and filtering. A listing grid that cannot be filtered by the three things buyers actually care about — price, bedrooms, area — sends people to the portals, and once they are on a portal you are competing on fee with every other agency in Strasbourg.

The technical half is feed handling: listings usually arrive from a CRM in a format designed two decades ago, and keeping the site, the portals and the window cards in agreement is where the real work sits. It is worth doing properly, because a property still showing as available after it is let generates the angriest phone calls in the business.

Analytics that has never once been looked at

Most sites carry a tracking tag and no measurement. Nobody defined what counts as a conversion, so the dashboard reports sessions and bounce rate — numbers that move up and down and change no decision anybody makes.

Useful measurement is narrow: form submissions, phone taps, WhatsApp clicks, and which pages preceded them. Four numbers checked monthly beat forty never opened, and knowing which Strasbourg search terms actually produce enquiries is what turns the site from a cost into something you can steer.

What I am not claiming about Strasbourg

I have no office, postal address or phone number in Strasbourg
I cannot meet you in person, and if that is a requirement you should hire locally
I am not claiming existing clients in Strasbourg 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
