[Home](https://kevinpapot.fr/en/) / Website design # Website design: a website people find, not just a pretty one. Most websites are designed first and optimised later, once people notice nobody is visiting. I do the opposite: we start from what your customers type into Google, and the website is built around it.

It's a website whose structure, URLs, titles and texts were decided according to what your customers search for, before choosing the colours. It loads fast on a phone, each service has its own page, and both Google and AI understand effortlessly what you do and where. The problem ## Why so many new websites bring in no customers. Flaw 1 ### A website with no service pages Home, About, Contact. The whole business fits on a single “Our services” page that nobody searches for under that name. Flaw 2 ### Copy written for yourself “Welcome”, “our passion”, “a team that listens”. No customer types those words. They type a service and a town. Flaw 3 ### A rented website, not an owned one The day you stop the subscription, the website disappears, with its URLs and everything Google had learned about you. The answer ## Five steps, in this order. Design comes fourth. Before that, we decide what the website must talk about to be found. 1. **The searches.** I note what your customers type: your services, your towns, their questions. That's the list of pages to create. 2. **The structure.** One page per service, one per area if you travel, one page that says who you are. Each page has one subject and only one. 3. **The copy.** I write it from what you explain to me about your work. If you'd rather write, you write and I optimise. 4. **The website.** Clean, fast, readable on a phone, with the phone number and contact button visible everywhere. 5. **Going live.** Google Business Profile, submission to Google, call and form tracking. The website launches with its SEO, not six months later. In detail ## What the website design + SEO package includes. ### The list of searches to target Your services, your towns and your customers' questions, ranked by number of searches. ### The site structure and URLs Short URLs containing the service and the town, decided once and for all. ### The copy for each page Titles, descriptions, paragraphs, FAQs: written for your customers, readable by Google and AI. ### A website that's fast on mobile Lightweight images, few scripts, a clickable phone number. Most local searches are made from a phone. ### The Google Business Profile linked to the website Categories, area, opening hours, photos, link to the right page. It's what puts you on the map. ### Enquiry tracking You know how many calls and forms the website produces, and from which pages. What's yours ## A website that belongs to you. It's the first thing I check when I'm handed an existing website, and the one most often missing. *1*The domain name in your name : It's registered with your address and your login details. Nobody can hold it back from you. *2*Full access : Hosting, website admin, Google Business Profile, analytics: you receive everything, in writing. *3*Copy and photos that are yours : What is produced for your website is yours. You can reuse it wherever you like. *4*A website you can edit : Change opening hours, add a project, post news: I show you how to do it yourself. How it works ## How the website build works. 1. Step 1 ### The conversation Thirty minutes to understand your business, your area and what you expect from the website. You then receive a written quote. 2. Step 2 ### The searches and the structure I present the list of pages and what each one targets. Nothing is designed before you agree. 3. Step 3 ### The copy You reread every page. We correct anything that doesn't sound like you. 4. Step 4 ### The website Layout, photos, form, clickable phone number. You test it on your phone before anyone else. 5. Step 5 ### Going live Redirects from old URLs if there are any, Google Business Profile, tracking. Then a check-in a month later, figures in hand.

[Read my story](https://kevinpapot.fr/en/kevin)[See my method](https://kevinpapot.fr/en/methode) FAQ ## Website design: your questions. What does the €1,000 excl. VAT package include? It's the starting price for a website of a few pages with its initial SEO: query research, structure, copy, going live and Google Business Profile. The quote sets out the number of pages and what's provided, in black and white. Does the website belong to me? Yes. The domain name is in your name, you receive all the access, and you can leave with the website whenever you like. How long does it take to build the website? It mostly depends on how quickly the copy is approved. A small website can be online within a few weeks; I give you a timeline with the quote. Can I pay in instalments or by subscription? Depending on the project, monthly payment is possible. In that case too, the website and the domain name remain yours. Who writes the copy? Me, based on a conversation about your work. If you want to keep control over the content, you write and I optimise afterwards. I already have a website: does everything need redoing? Not always. I first look at what it brings in and what holds it back. Sometimes a few added pages are enough. If a website redesign is needed, I keep the URLs that bring in visits. Will the website be first on Google? Nobody can promise that. What I guarantee is a website built to be understood by Google and AI, and tracking in figures of what it brings in. Do you build online shops? Yes. I run my own online shops, in France and internationally. The price of a shop depends on the number of products; it's quoted separately. And after going live? The website is built to run on its own. If you want to go further, I offer ongoing SEO support, with no minimum commitment. --- Source: https://kevinpapot.fr/en/creation-site-internet · Kévin Papot, SEO and GEO consultant, Charente (France).
