You tell us about your trade

Pick a step to jump to it

  1. 01

    You answer a brief about your trade

    Your services, your customers, the area you cover, the searches you want to show up for. It takes about twenty minutes, and it costs nothing — no card, no deposit.

  2. 02

    We build your site by hand

    Not a template repainted in your colours: a site written from your answers, built to be found on Google and to read well on a phone. Ready in 7 working days.

  3. 03

    You see it, then you choose

    We send you a link to your finished site, with the thinking behind it — why those colours, why those pages, what we ruled out. Keep it and pay, or walk away. You have 14 days.

Every site is built by hand, one at a time, from your answers. You only pay once yours is built and you have seen it working.

A real rebuild

The same valuer. A completely different first sentence.

This one is a rebuild, not a first site. She already had one, and it worked — it just did not say the thing that actually sets her apart.

Independent property valuation · TEGOVA certified

  • Thonon-les-Bains and Archamps — from the Chablais to the Geneva basin
  • Valuing since 2021
Before
The previous site: a cream page with a navy banner, seven menu entries and a generic opening line.

The first thing a visitor reads

Personal support for your property decisions
  • A WordPress site with seven top-level menu entries, most of them carrying sub-menus.
  • “Contact us” appeared four separate times in the navigation.
  • An opening line that any consultant, in any field, could have written.
After
The rebuilt site: a dark photograph of Lake Geneva at dusk, four menu entries, and the headline “The fair value of your chalet”.

The first thing a visitor reads

The fair value of your chalet
  • Four entries: the practice, the valuations, the method, contact.
  • The promise she leads with now: “I have no stake in the sale of your property.”
  • What separates her from an estate agent sits at the top, not three scrolls down.
Why Stellia

Built by someone who does this every day.

There are other ways to get a website, and each one makes sense for someone. For a trade business that wants to be found locally and change a few lines a year, here is how they compare.

Stellia

Your route
Who designs it
Designed by hand for your trade, from your brief. Nothing is left to chance.
Ergonomics & search
Built to be found from day one — and the editor refuses the edits that would undo it.
What it usually costs
490 € once, paid only after you have seen the finished site. The editor is optional, from 29 €/month.
Changing things later
A few lines, a photo, a colour — in minutes. On your own, or hand it to us.

An online builder, on your own

You pick a template and fill it in.

Who designs it
A template already used by dozens of other businesses.
Ergonomics & search
The layout holds up. The search work is yours to do — and it is a job in itself.
What it usually costs
A monthly fee, plus your evenings.
Changing things later
Easy, once you have learnt the tool.

WordPress or similar

A full CMS, with its plugins and its updates.

Who designs it
A theme, tuned as far as your time allows.
Ergonomics & search
Capable of anything — including of being slow and invisible if nobody tends it.
What it usually costs
Cheap to start, then hosting, plugins and maintenance.
Changing things later
Powerful, and far more machine than you need to change a phone number.

A freelance

One person, hired for the project.

Who designs it
Often genuinely tailored. It depends who you find.
Ergonomics & search
Varies widely. Search work is often quoted separately.
What it usually costs
Commonly quoted in the four figures.
Changing things later
You email, you wait, you are billed.

An agency

A team, a process, a proposal.

Who designs it
Tailored, with a longer process and more meetings.
Ergonomics & search
Usually solid, when the budget covers it.
What it usually costs
Commonly several thousand euros.
Changing things later
A ticket, a rate card, a delay.

Price ranges reflect what is commonly quoted on the French market. They are a rough guide, not a survey.

Done alone, a site usually ends up as an online business card: correct, quiet, and found by nobody. Being found is the part that takes craft — and it is the part we do not leave to chance.

Your editor

Change anything. Break nothing.

Plain labels instead of code. Every change saves as you type, then goes live when you publish.

Page title
Emergency plumber in Annecy — 24/7 callout
Saved automatically
Intro
Burst pipe, blocked drain, boiler down? We reach most of Annecy within the hour.

Text — Your words change in place and save on their own.

Search ranking that holds

Optimised on day one. Still optimised after you edit it.

This is the real risk of handing someone the keys to their own site: one emptied title and months of ranking are gone. So the editor simply will not let that happen.

Change not saved

A page title cannot be empty.

It is the blue line Google shows in results. Without it, your page goes invisible.

CancelFix it
Worth a look

Your title runs to 78 characters.

Google shows about 60, so the end will be cut off.

EditSave anyway
Never shown to you

The technical layer is set when the site is built and stays out of the editor. You cannot break what you are never handed.

Before you pay

What lands in your inbox.

When your site is ready you get one link. Everything below sits on the other side of it — before anyone asks you for a card.

  1. 01

    Your finished site, running

    Not a mockup, not a screenshot. The real site, in a frame, that you can click through on a laptop or on a phone.

  2. 02

    The thinking, written down

    Seven things, always the same seven: what the site is for, why those pages, the colours, the type and tone, what was done to get you found, how it behaves on a phone, and what you can change yourself.

  3. 03

    What we ruled out, and why

    The options we weighed up and dropped. It is the part that shows a choice was made for you, rather than a template filled in.

  4. 04

    Your design system

    Colours, type, spacing and components, documented. Written so an AI assistant can extend your site later without breaking how it looks — and it stays yours once you unlock.

  5. 05

    14 days, no chasing

    One reminder, halfway through. Then the link closes. Say nothing and nothing happens: you owe nothing either way.

Pricing

Nothing is charged until you have seen your site.

The build is a one-off, paid only once yours is finished and you decide to keep it. The subscription is optional — it is what gives you the editor.

Questions

The ones we get asked most.

Do I really pay nothing to start?

Nothing. No card, no deposit, no commitment. You answer the brief, we build your site, and we show it to you finished. You pay only if you decide to keep it. What you do invest is about twenty minutes on the brief — that part is real work, and it is what makes the site yours rather than generic.

How long until I see my site?

Seven working days from the moment you complete the brief. No meetings to schedule, no back-and-forth stretching over weeks.

What happens when it's ready?

You get a link to a page that shows your finished site running, alongside the thinking behind it: why those colours, why those pages, what we considered and ruled out, and what was done so you can be found on Google. If it convinces you, you unlock it there. You have 14 days to decide.

What if I don't want it?

You say no and that is the end of it. You have paid nothing, so there is nothing to refund and nothing to cancel. We would rather build a site you actually want than argue you into one.

What if I don't subscribe?

You still get your site and your domain, live and visible to your customers. The only thing you do not get is the space to change it yourself. Plenty of business sites never change: if that is you, the build fee is enough.

Can I subscribe later?

Yes, any time, from your sign-in page. The build fee is not charged again — you only pay the subscription, from the day you start it.

What exactly is a change request?

A change you hand to us rather than doing yourself: swapping photos, adding a page, rewriting a section. One request covers up to 30 minutes of work. If your need goes beyond that, we send a quote before starting — never a surprise invoice.

What happens to requests I don't use?

They do not roll over to the next month. If you need one more than your plan includes, it is offered at €45 and you decide.

How long am I committed for?

Subscribing commits you for 12 months, whether you are billed monthly or once for the year. After that it renews on its own and you can stop whenever you like.

How do I cancel?

From your account, in a few clicks. You keep access until the end of what you have already paid for: the end of the current month if you pay monthly, the end of the paid year if you pay yearly. The exact date is shown before you confirm.

Who owns my site and my domain?

You do. If you already have a domain, it stays yours — we simply point it at your site. If we buy one for you, we transfer it to you whenever you ask. The subscription pays for the editor and the support, not for the right to exist: cancel it and your site stays online.
