The key figures
Why your online presence is essential
In France, the figures speak for themselves.
Local impact, in figures
of consumers look up a local business online before making the trip
of internet users judge a company's credibility by its website
of local searches lead to a shop visit within 24 hours
of consumers trust online reviews as much as a friend's recommendation
Performance = ranking
PageSpeed Insights — mobile score
Google ranks sites by their speed since 2021 (Core Web Vitals). A slow site is penalised regardless of how good its content is.
WordPress
Poor
Wix
Average
L'Atelier

Beyond Google
Good technical SEO benefits every search engine at once.
All the options
Which solution should you pick?
An honest comparison — including the drawbacks no one else mentions.
Wix / Squarespace
Small businesses, fast online presence, tight budgetYou manage the content yourself, without going through anyone
Quick to launch, cheap to get started
Built-in customer support
Proprietary: you can't export your site elsewhere
Limited SEO — hard to rank well on Google
Wix can change its interface or templates without warning
WordPress + theme
Blog, content site, team with a bit of technical know-howFull autonomy: edit text, images and articles without a developer
Thousands of plugins for every need
Huge community, tutorials everywhere
Mandatory upkeep: plugins, updates, security
A badly-handled update can break your site
The interface can be hard to grasp without training — themes, plugins, Gutenberg, every version changes
Web agency
Complex e-commerce, business application, big budgetBest option for ambitious projects (> €5,000)
Full team: designer, developer, project manager
Capacity to absorb large workloads
Oversized for a local showcase site of 5–10 pages
Budgets often start at €3,000 to €15,000 minimum
Multiple contacts — less direct relationship
Vibe-coding (Lovable, v0, Cursor…)
Quick prototype, developer in a hurryGenerates a prototype in minutes from a simple description
Ideal for testing an idea or an MVP quickly
Tools evolving fast — active community
Credit costs rack up fast — a few hours of generation can cost €50–100
You need to know how to prompt: vague instructions produce unusable code
Monthly subscription required, often bundled with hosting more expensive than a regular server
The generated code is often hard to maintain or evolve without the AI
L'Atelier de Sam
Local SMB, showcase, booking, 5–15 page siteBespoke code: fast, clean, SEO-optimised from day one
Transparent pricing from €290, one single contact from A to Z
You stay in full ownership — no forced subscription
Good to know
Design changes require coming back to Sam (unless an admin module is built — possible, at extra cost)
Limited capacity: a few projects at a time to guarantee quality
Experience
This isn't my hobby —
it's my profession
I've been building websites for over 10 years. I've worked for non-profits, craftspeople, small businesses and freelancers — and I've learned that a local shop's needs are nothing like a big company's.
This site — atelier-sam.fr — is a living example of what I build: online booking, gallery, local SEO, multi-language, custom admin, PageSpeed > 95. All handmade, end to end.
I code in Next.js / TypeScript — modern, fast and well-indexed technologies. No sluggish WordPress. No plugins fighting each other at night.
A new frontier
Visible on Google — and in the AIs
Classic search engines are no longer alone. AI assistants cite sources — your site needs to be one of them.
Today, millions of users put their questions straight to ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini or Copilot — without going through a regular search. These assistants generate answers and cite their sources. If your site is well structured, you can appear there.
This is what we call GEO — Generative Engine Optimization. An emerging field that I build in from day one.
Structured data (Schema.org)
AIs understand and reward sites with clear semantic tags: LocalBusiness, FAQ, reviews, services.
Content that answers questions
FAQs, guides, detailed descriptions — question-and-answer formats are the most often cited in AI replies.
Local authority and consistency
Consistent NAP (name, address, phone), Google My Business, customer reviews — trust signals every AI values.
A well-tagged, fast site with structured content will rank better on Google and be cited more often by AIs.

We meet up in Poitiers, jump on a call or do a video chat — distance doesn't matter. In 30 minutes I understand what you actually need and suggest the right package. No jargon, no pressure.
