Based in Nantes, I work with tradespeople, freelancers and small businesses all over France — in Paris, Lyon, Bordeaux, Lille, Rouen, Arras and beyond. By video or in person, the process is the same, the quality too.
You don't need a local provider. What my clients ask for is someone available, reliable, and who handles everything:
"I want someone who picks up when I have a question."
"I don't want to deal with the technical side."
"I need a site that looks like me."
"I just want it to work."
I've worked with a plumber in Lyon, a beautician in Arras, and dozens of other freelancers across France. Each time, the process is the same: an exchange to understand your business, a mockup before any commitment, and a site delivered turnkey.
Distance doesn't affect the quality of the work. It just changes the means of communication.
Here's concretely what I offer.
Three clear packages, no surprises. You choose what you need — we discuss it together if you're unsure.

No travel needed. Here's exactly what happens when you contact me.
You write or call me — no need to know what to say. I ask the right questions to understand your business, your needs and what you want your site to do for you.

You see before you payOnce the mockup is approved, I build your site. We meet by video once or twice to track progress, answer your questions and request adjustments.

My name is Sébastien Charlet, I'm an independent web developer based in Nantes.
Trained as an engineer, I worked in Paris then Bordeaux before settling in Nantes. I was born in Rouen, studied in Brest, and have family in the North — in Arras, Amiens, Lille. I know France more than just from a map.
I first worked as a professional photographer, which taught me one essential thing: understanding what a client truly needs. It was while building my own digital tools — including Cadoia, a mobile app used by real users — that I realised my skills could serve others.
Today I do one job, seriously: building clean, fast and effective websites — handling all the technical side on behalf of my clients. From Nantes, for all of France.
I work alone, which means you always have the same point of contact. From the first exchange to go-live — and beyond.

Not an agency, not a platform. A trustworthy person, available, who handles everything.
No sales rep, no project manager, no phone menu. You write to me, I reply.
I prepare a real mockup of your site before any financial commitment.
Google Meet or Zoom — we work together in real time, as if we were in the same room.
No WordPress, no website builder. I hand-code every site.
Your site is 100% yours. Your domain name too. You're tied to no platform.
I translate everything into clear language and handle what you don't need to know.
A question not answered here? Write to me — I reply within 24h.
No problem at all. The majority of my projects are done entirely remotely. We exchange by email or phone to frame the project, then meet on Google Meet or Zoom for progress check-ins. My clients outside Nantes — in Paris, Lyon, Arras or elsewhere — get exactly the same service as my local clients.
Yes, completely. A showcase website doesn't require physical presence. I show you the mockups on screen, we refine together in real time, and you approve each step. The result is identical to an in-person project.
By email or via a sharing link (Google Drive, WeTransfer). I guide you on what I need and in what format. If you don't have professional photos, we can discuss it — there are simple solutions.
Not at all — that's actually the situation of most of my clients. My job is precisely to handle all the technical side for you. You tell me about your business, I handle the rest.
Generally, allow two to four weeks from the moment we've agreed on the project direction. This timeline mainly depends on the complexity of the site and how quickly you send me your texts and photos.
The domain name has an annual cost of around €10–15 — that's on your side and you manage it directly. Hosting your site is free through the solution I use.
No. Your site and domain name are 100% yours. You're tied to no platform, no subscription, no proprietary software.
No matter where you are in France. Tell me about your business in a few lines — I'll reply within 24h and we'll see what works for you.
Describe your project in a few lines. No need to be perfect — I'll help you put the rest into words.
