Web Agency : Design, Development, SEO, SEA, Cloud

A web agency is a company that specialises in developing and promoting businesses on the Internet.

The aim of a web agency is to take charge of all aspects linking the client company to the Internet and to propose the most appropriate solutions for the client's various needs.

The aim of this approach is to enable companies hiring a web agency to concentrate on their core business without neglecting their online presence.

In practical terms, the role of a web agency will be dictated above all by your needs, but can be summed up as creating high-performance websites (or renovating them), ensuring their visibility through digital marketing strategies, optimising the user experience, and supporting businesses in their digital transformation.

Whether it's website design, search engine optimisation, content creation or social network management, a web agency ensures that it offers tailor-made solutions to maximise the impact of your online presence.

We offer a wide range of services to meet your needs.

The services we offer fall into three broad categories:

1. Development: Our developers are capable of bringing any of your web projects to life. Whether it's the creation of a showcase site customised from start to finish to reflect your image, a complete and secure e-commerce site or a customised application, we'll give you the benefit of our years of experience to offer you the solution best suited to your needs.

2. Design: Because a functional, high-performance site with an outdated aesthetic that isn't ergonomic wouldn't make any sense, we also specialise in design in all its forms: UX/UI Design, mock-ups/wireframes, graphic guidelines, branding, logo creation, etc. Nothing is left to chance and nothing is left to chance. Nothing is left to chance, and our designers will do everything to make your ideas stand out.

3. Marketing & Communication: To complete this combination of functionality and aesthetics, we'll help you launch your project and improve your online presence by optimising your website's natural referencing. This involves obtaining backlinks, creating SEO content, technical SEO, optimising Google Ads and monitoring the data collected on your users.

Working with a Paris-based web agency like Blacksmith offers you a number of advantages:

• Proximity and responsiveness: The possibility of exchanging ideas easily during face-to-face meetings, for a better understanding of your project.

• Local experts: The location of our web agency enables us to attract talent from the best web design and development schools.

• Understanding of the local market: Being based in Paris, we have an excellent knowledge of the Paris market and the particularities of local businesses. This cultural and economic proximity enables us to better understand your specific needs.

• Access to a wide professional network: Thanks to our network, we can develop rewarding collaborations for your projects or put you in touch with other people you can trust.

It is impossible to give a precise figure for the cost of our services, due to the almost infinite number of unique projects that we can help you with.

However, we can assure you that each of these projects will be carefully analysed and meticulously priced, in complete transparency, to provide you with a fair and coherent offer that will allow both our agency and your company to benefit from this collaboration.

Customer satisfaction is a priority for us, and it's not unusual for us to offer financial benefits to customers who work with us on a long-term basis.

When choosing the web agency you want to work with on your project, there are a number of criteria to consider:

• The team's ability to really understand your needs.

• The agency's expertise in the technologies, languages and frameworks required for your web project.

• The diversity and size of the agency's portfolio, including, if possible, projects similar to yours.

• The company's ability to meet the estimated deadlines and budget.

• The satisfaction of clients with whom the agency has already worked.

• Whether your budget is compatible with the agency's rates.

Once you've considered all these points, it's a good idea to meet the agency's teams to gain a deeper understanding of their philosophy and make an informed choice.

At Blacksmith, collaboration begins with a phase of listening and understanding your project.

We take care to remove as many grey areas as possible from the project, to ensure that we are able to meet your needs.

Once we have ensured that the scope of the project is well defined, we present you with a macro estimate or a detailed quotation so that you can have an idea of the final cost of carrying out your project.

This estimate is not set in stone and we can adjust it according to your requirements and needs.

Once your needs have been defined and the project has been quoted, the collaboration can begin!

At Blacksmith, we work on a co-construction basis, organising a meeting at the end of each work sprint (generally one sprint per week) to present progress to you, gather your feedback and adjust priorities if necessary. In this way, you are constantly involved in the progress of the project, and the follow-up points, as well as the availability of a pre-production version of the product, enable us to validate the product together as we go along.

Once the work has been completed and the project delivered, we help you launch it, then maintain it in operational condition (corrective and preventive maintenance) and remain at your disposal (support) to ensure that everything runs smoothly.

At Blacksmith, we are committed to providing high-quality services tailored to your needs.

To prevent any potential bottlenecks, our services include a post-delivery guarantee period, during which we correct any faults free of charge.

What's more, we offer maintenance contracts to ensure that your project is kept up to date and continues to evolve. In this way, you can be sure that your application is always using the best technical features available, and that you remain competitive with potential competitors.

While we take the time to define, develop and deploy your project, we also take all the necessary measures to ensure the security of the products we create.

Security is one of the most essential aspects of any modern application, and we take particular care with it.

We implement robust, certified security protocols, deploy regular back-up systems to minimise the risk of data loss, and use advanced encryption techniques to secure sensitive and confidential information, both in storage and during transfer.

We also deploy monitoring systems that automatically alert us if any problems are detected. Of course, we also continually train ourselves to be able to prevent new security breaches.

Finally, we also pay close attention to compliance with current standards and regulations, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This involves not only guaranteeing the confidentiality and integrity of the data collected and processed, but also putting in place transparent procedures to manage users' rights, such as access, rectification and deletion of their information.

As with the cost of our services, it is impossible to give a universal rule as to the production time for your project (website creation, Progressive Web App, logo, etc.).

However, we make sure that our communication is as transparent as possible right from our first meetings. This means that our quote will include an estimate of the time required for each small part of your project.

As mentioned above, our use of agile methodology and sprints means that you can follow the progress of your project live and on a weekly basis.

Ultimately, the timescales will be constantly adapted to the scale of your needs, but generally speaking, whether it's a ‘simple’ showcase site or a more complex application, the timescales are counted in months.
