Are you an entrepreneur, tradesperson, craftsperson, or therapist in Lyon, and are you looking for a professional solution to create or redesign your website? You may have typed "website creation Lyon" into Google, thinking that you necessarily had to go through a local agency.
What if you called on an independent expert based in Saint-Étienne , in the Rhône-Alpes region, less than an hour from Lyon? Here's why this choice can be more relevant, more flexible, and more profitable.

1. A local expert, without an intermediary
I am not a web agency, but an independent professional , specialized in:
creation of sites on Wix ,
natural referencing (SEO) ,
redesign of existing sites to improve their visibility.
Based in Saint-Étienne, I work with numerous clients from Lyon and the Rhône-Alpes region, via video or on-site as needed.
2. An efficient, visible and easy to administer website
A showcase website or an e-commerce site is useless if it remains invisible on Google. My approach is based on three pillars:
a clear structure , adapted to your activity,
a sober and professional design , responsive mobile,
SEO optimization integrated from creation (titles, tags, text, mesh, speed, etc.).
Each project includes:
personalized support,
concrete advice for getting to grips with the site,
a site ready to convert your visitors into customers .
3. Lyon, a dynamic… and competitive ecosystem
The Lyon metropolitan area is rich in local activities: therapists, freelancers, shops, small businesses. But this wealth also implies strong competition on Google .
Creating a website in Lyon is not enough: you need to position this site in the first results , thanks to an adapted SEO strategy.
This is why each project includes:
a search for localized keywords (e.g.: “sophrologist Lyon 6”, “natural hairdresser Croix-Rousse”),
content optimization,
post-publication monitoring.
4. Customer case: bonbain.ca (Canada) &
bijouxfabricaise.com (France)
Although located in Saint-Étienne, I work with clients well beyond the department:
bonbain.ca : Creation + SEO for a renovation company in Montreal. Results: +300% traffic in 6 months.
bijouxfabricationfrancaise.com : Complete redesign + product optimization. Results: Top 3 for “French artisanal jewelry” and “handmade bracelet.”
The method is the same: strategy, clarity, optimization, results.
5. A reliable alternative to Lyon web agencies
Why choose a freelancer rather than a web agency based in Lyon?
A single contact , available and responsive
Controlled prices , without structural costs
Proven expertise , with concrete results
Tailor-made support , without standardized service
My work also includes VAT , for professionals or structures who wish to recover the charges.
Conclusion
Creating a website in Lyon is not limited to a geographical search. What really matters is the quality of the site, its visibility on Google , and the relationship of trust that you establish with the person who supports you.
Based in Saint-Étienne, I support clients throughout the Rhône-Alpes region—and beyond—with professionalism, rigor, and clarity.
