Website design and build
A site that has not moved in six years says something about your company, and rarely what you would want. It is the shop window people walk past before pushing the door: they look to see whether the sign is current and whether the shop seems open. Whether you start from nothing, from a holding page, or from a site you no longer dare send anyone, we build the one that matches your business and your image today.
Three businesses, three sites
An interior design studio, a Brussels museum, offices to let on avenue Louise. Three organisations with nothing in common, and three sites with nothing in common either, because their visitors do not come to do the same thing.

So the first question to settle is not the graphic design, it is what the visitor needs to be able to do. Browse, book, compare, ask for an estimate. Each of those answers produces a different site, and the choice is made in a conversation, not in a specification document.
How it works
An interview
An hour to establish what your visitor needs to be able to do. Everything else follows from it, budget included. It is the only stage where we need a lot of your time.
The structure
The pages and their addresses, settled before the first drawing. That structure is what Google reads, and changing it afterwards costs redirects.
The layouts
At the three screen widths that matter, phone included. You see the site before it exists, and corrections happen there, where they cost nothing.
The words
The stage everyone underestimates: a site is built in a few weeks, the words keep everyone waiting for months. We write them from the interview when you would rather not.
The images
Your own photographs where they hold up, a stock library chosen with you, a shoot when the project deserves one, or a design that does without a large image. We look at what you have before deciding, and the site adapts to the material available.
Going live
Live, and ready to work.
Search is not added at the end, it is decided during construction. One address per page, settled before the first drawing. Titles that echo what people actually type. Content readable without JavaScript, images with declared dimensions, pages that load fast. That is what decides whether Google, and now ChatGPT or Claude, know what your site is about. A site rebuilt without that work loses the traffic the old one had: we record the existing addresses before touching anything.
The starting price is shown below, against a written scope. What makes the difference beyond it comes down to five things, in this order:
- The number of genuinely different pages. A product page template is designed once, whether there are ten products or three hundred.
- How much staging is involved. A signature site, drawn from scratch with its own decisions and its animations, is not built like a site with a plain layout. Both do their job, not with the same means.
- What the visitor has to be able to do: read, book, or pay.
- The writing: your words, or ours.
- The images you already have.
A delivered site, in three screens
ArchybaldSur mesureFR, NL, EN
Search filters and featured properties, in keeping with the client's identity and values. The site is connected directly by a secured API to the client's management software, letting them run their site from inside it. 
An AI-powered search engine allowing plain-language queries and alternative suggestions based on the client's criteria 
The client invests in exceptional photography, so we show it across the whole site in large 16:9 format, while keeping points of contact along the entire journey
If the site has to take payments, the question changes in nature and it is dealt with in Online shop.
What it costs
from4 500 €excl. VAT
- Up to ten pages, more as an option
- Site structure, bespoke templates, art direction
- Form with authenticated sending, SPF, DKIM and DMARC set on the domain
- Basic search setup and handover
That timescale applies to a site of this size. A more complex project is costed and dated before any commitment, never along the way. It also depends on your feedback: each stage waits for your approval before the next.
