You may be wondering…
Answers to the questions I get asked most.
How much does a website with an animated cartoon character cost?
The standard cartoon site costs €399, live within a week of receiving your photo. It includes your animated 3D cartoon character, a one-page phone-friendly website and Google and AI search optimisation. An optional €10 a month plan covers the domain name and hosting, with a 12-month minimum. Other websites are quoted free of charge.
What is the animated cartoon character?
It is your double as a 3D cartoon character, created from a photo of you. On the site it follows your cursor with its eyes on a computer and your finger on a phone, then plays small animations when the visitor stops moving. It makes your website memorable and builds a bond with future customers before the first call.
What do I need to provide to get started?
A sharp photo of you, facing the camera, down to mid-thigh, preferably on a plain light background, plus your practical details: trade, services, service area, opening hours and phone number. I then send you your character for approval before building the site. Your photo is used only to create your character, with your written consent.
How long until my website is live?
About a week from receiving your photo and your details, if your character is approved quickly. The deadline is paused until you have supplied the materials or given your approval. For a custom website, the timeline is agreed in the quote.
Is the €10 a month plan compulsory?
No, it is optional. The plan covers purchase of the domain name in your name and hosting of the site, with a minimum 12-month commitment and cancellation at any time afterwards. If you already own a domain name, I connect it to your new website.
When do I pay?
Nothing before you have approved your finished site: the €399 is paid on delivery, by bank transfer within 8 days, then I put the site online. The optional plan starts at launch. For a quoted website, the payment schedule is stated in the quote.
Who owns my website?
You do, as soon as it is paid in full. The domain name is registered in your name. If you cancel the plan after the 12 months, I hand over the site files and help you move the site to the host of your choice, free of charge.
Will my website be visible on Google and on AI assistants?
It is built to be: fast pages, clear text, schema.org markup, a structured FAQ and an llms.txt file for assistants such as ChatGPT, Perplexity or Gemini. Nobody can guarantee first place, but your site starts on solid foundations, including for local searches.
Why only one call button?
An effective website offers one clear action. On the cartoon site the call button is the only call to action: it avoids scattering the visitor's attention and makes your phone ring. It stays visible at the top of the page, including on mobile.
What if I want to change my site later?
Changes after delivery are quoted: a text, photo or opening-hours tweak is quick and simple. For a bigger change, I give you a free quote before doing anything.
What if I want a bigger or different website?
Custom websites are quoted free of charge after an initial chat: several pages, unique design, features on request, or a redesign of your current site. You can see my work further up this page.
Do you offer business cards or Google reviews tools?
Not yet, but they are planned: business cards matching your website and a plaque with a QR code or NFC chip to collect Google reviews. Contact me if you want to be notified when they are available.
Do I have a right of withdrawal?
If you sign away from my premises, for example at your workshop, you have 5 employees or fewer and the website is not part of your main activity, you have 14 days to withdraw at no cost. I only start work after that period, unless you ask me in writing to start sooner.
Where do you work?
I am a web designer based in Saint-Étienne, in the Loire département of France. I can meet you in person locally, and I work remotely with clients across France, in French and in English.
How can I contact you?
From the Contact page: a three-question form, a callback request for a time slot, WhatsApp, phone, text message, email or LinkedIn. Quotes are always free.
