Questions frequently asked
All the questions we get asked, grouped by topic. If yours isn't here, you can reach us directly.
Services & pricing
What types of sites do you build?
WordPress showcase sites, WooCommerce e-commerce, custom applications (client portals, industry platforms, SaaS), full redesigns. For headless projects (React/Vue front + WP API), we also deliver. All our sites are responsive, WCAG AA accessible, and Core Web Vitals optimized.
Do you do graphic design / logo / brand identity?
We handle web design (UI, design system). For a logo from scratch or a complete brand identity, we work with two trusted partner graphic designers. If you already have your visual identity, we naturally adapt it for the site.
Can you take over an existing site?
Yes — this is our Redesign pack (€2,500 ex-VAT). Audit + migration plan + design update or full redesign + SEO transfer (301 redirects, keywords preserved). We guarantee zero traffic loss post-redesign if existing SEO is sound.
Average pricing for a micro-business or SME?
€1,500 to €4,000 ex-VAT for a professional showcase site. €3,500 to €8,000 ex-VAT for an e-commerce site. €8,000 to €30,000 ex-VAT for a custom application. Maintenance at €39/month is optional (recommended but not mandatory).
And for a one-page site / landing page?
From €890 ex-VAT for a commercial landing page (1 long-form page + form + tracking). Ideal for validating a product or launching an ad campaign. Delivered within 7 days.
Our method
What happens at the first appointment?
30 minutes by video call (or in person if you are in the 83/06 area). We discuss your business, your goals, your target audience, your constraints (budget, timeline). Afterward, we send you an honest recommendation: either we're aligned, or we refer you to a more suitable provider.
How many people work on my project?
A lean team: 1 senior project lead/developer (your main point of contact), 1 designer (on Business+ packs), 1 SEO copywriter if the option is selected. No reselling, no offshore subcontracting, no chain of intermediary suppliers.
How do you validate deliverables?
Each milestone = a deliverable + written sign-off (PDF or collaboration tool). At least 3 validation stages: mockups, online preview version, final go-live. You stay in control every step of the way.
Do you use a project management tool?
Yes. A shared project space (Notion or Linear depending on the case) with schedule, tasks, files, and feedback. You can track progress in real time without having to contact us. For custom projects, a Slack/Discord channel is set up for day-to-day communication.
Legal & guarantees
Who owns the site and the code?
You, 100%. Upon final payment, the source code is yours (rights assignment included in the quote). You receive WordPress admin access, hosting access, and the domain name. No dependency on our services.
How do you handle GDPR?
All our sites are GDPR-ready: compliant cookie banner (Complianz or Tarteaucitron), drafted legal notices, privacy policy, opt-in form, IP anonymization on GA4. Hosting in France (Hostinger/OVH/Infomaniak) to guarantee data residency.
What happens in the event of a dispute?
The contract specifies the conditions: mandatory prior mediation (free of charge), then the competent court (Toulon). In 9 years of activity and 120+ projects, we have never had a legal dispute — upfront transparency resolves 99% of problems.
Economic sectors in Saint-Raphaël
Yes. Iliade Digital is registered in France; SIRET available on request. Active intra-community VAT number. Professional liability insurance in place. Member of SYNTEC numérique (also available on request).
Technical & SEO
Why WordPress and not another CMS?
WordPress = 40% of the web, mature ecosystem, rich plugins, SEO-friendly, editorial autonomy after delivery (no developer needed to update content). For very specific needs (SaaS, real-time apps), we code in Symfony, Laravel, or Node.js — but for 90% of cases, WordPress + WooCommerce remains unbeatable.
What hosting do you recommend?
Hostinger Cloud Startup (€8/month) for Starter sites. O2Switch or Infomaniak (€15–25/month) for sites with significant traffic. For e-commerce, managed hosting such as Kinsta or WP Engine. We configure everything for you at go-live.
How do you guarantee the security of the site?
Systematic WordPress hardening: Wordfence / Sucuri + 2FA admin + Let’s Encrypt SSL + secure HTTP headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame) + XML-RPC disabled + login lockout + encrypted backups. With the €39/month maintenance plan: 24/7 monitoring + response within 4 hours in the event of an attack.
How does the local SEO you offer work?
Google Business Profile optimization (description, photos, posts, reviews), citation creation on local directories (Pages Jaunes, Yelp, Foursquare…), LocalBusiness schema, dedicated geo pages per target city, consistent NAP (Name-Address-Phone), position tracking on 10 keywords. Visible results within 2–4 months.
lawyers & legal method
Yes — this is a non-negotiable requirement. All our sites achieve Lighthouse 90+ Performance on mobile (tested at delivery). Techniques used: LiteSpeed cache, WebP images + lazy-loading, critical CSS inline, deferred JS, self-hosted fonts, Cloudflare CDN. For complex e-commerce sites, we target 85+ (technically impossible to exceed 90 with WooCommerce without degrading the UX).
Can you integrate my CRM / ERP?
Yes. Common integrations: HubSpot, Sellsy, Pipedrive, Salesforce, Brevo, Mailchimp, Stripe, PayPal, EBP, Sage. Via webhooks, REST API, or official plugin depending on the case. On quote depending on complexity.
