FAQ-YourQuestions
How much will it cost to create a website in 2024?
Just like the cost of creating a car or a boat in 2024, the cost of creating a website depends on a number of parameters such as:
- the type of site, which may be a showcase site, an e-commerce site, a directory, a networking platform, a site with a members' area, a SaaS with subscriptions, etc.
- the number of pages with a unique structure, and the animations on these pages
- integration with third-party services (Metamask, ChatGPT, Stripe, Google Analytics, Cookiebot, etc.)
Finally, the cost of a 100% custom-designed and developed site requires much more time and expertise to create than customising a site based on a Wordpress or Webflow template.

How do you choose the best web development agency?
SPOILER: ‘THE’ best web development agency in Paris or France does not exist!
Although there are many rankings and articles online, the best web agency for your project is not necessarily the best web agency for someone else's project.
If you're setting up your first business, the preferred agency of an international group may not be able to meet your needs with a quote that fits your budget, unlike a human-scale agency like Blacksmith.
A webmarketing agency that creates no-code websites (using Wordpress themes, for example) won't necessarily be able to create a 100% customised design for you, and then develop it on a bespoke basis.
A digital strategy, marketing or communications consultancy will certainly have web expertise and mastery of the theory, but will not necessarily be able to implement and carry out the web projects it supports you with.
Finally, a Wordpress agency or one with expertise in Joomla may not know how to create complex web applications.
It is therefore important to find out about the skills and technologies used by the agency you are considering working with.
Has it already worked on the type of project you have in mind?
What web technologies will you be using in 2024 for a high-performance website?
It is possible to create high-performance sites using a wide range of technologies.
For a site that is very quick to load and use, while retaining animations and micro-interventions and being secure and low-carbon, we recommend a static site generated, for example, by developing in JAMStack.
JAMStack stands for ‘Javascript API Markup’ and is a technology stack for building static sites, i.e. websites where the pages displayed are the same for all visitors.
Note that ‘static’ doesn't mean you can't have animations or manage your content in a CMS!
With JAMStack, your site will be faster, more economical in terms of server resources and therefore more environmentally friendly than a ‘classic’ site.
What are the advantages of a custom website compared to a template website?
A template website offers a number of advantages:
- quick to set up
- template can be customised (within the limits of what the theme allows)
- lower cost
However, as soon as you want to go beyond what the template allows, you can quickly come up against obstacles or additional development costs.
So it's vital to test a template thoroughly before deciding to go ahead with it, even if it means opting for a 100% bespoke site if you want something very specific and customised.
With a bespoke site, the design and functionalities are in the hands of the development team, so with the right budget, you can get exactly what you want and also develop your site and its functionalities as you see fit.
