Website design for local tradespeople and small businesses
In an area as busy as the Geneva basin, where construction is booming, being present online is what wins you new clients and shows what you can do. PROJETIZ builds modern, hand-coded websites for tradespeople and small businesses — designed to be found locally, and fully owned by you.
Why a website is essential for tradespeople in this area
A website is far more than a shop window — it is a working tool. By showing your projects, making it easy to get in touch and sharpening your local visibility, it brings you nearby customers while strengthening how professional you look.
Your future clients now look for you online first — on Google, but increasingly by asking an AI assistant. Without a clear, findable site, you stay invisible to everyone who does not already know you: which is to say, most of your prospects.
- Local visibility: reach prospects in Annecy, Ferney-Voltaire, Divonne-les-Bains, Valserhône and the surrounding area.
- Show your work: display finished projects with before/after galleries.
- Qualified leads: make it easy to get in touch, with forms that are simple and reliable.
- Credibility: an address in your own name inspires more trust than a social media page alone.
What your PROJETIZ website includes
Every site is built around your trade and your goals. No generic template filled in at speed: a structure designed to turn visitors into quote requests.
- A hand-coded site, light and fast — decisive on mobile, where most of your visitors arrive.
- A mobile-first design, readable and professional on every screen.
- Local SEO built in from the start, so you surface in the area you actually serve.
- Reliable, GDPR-compliant contact forms, with no dependency on a third-party service.
- Your Facebook page synced: your posts appear on the site automatically, with nothing to type twice.
- Hosting and a domain name in your name: you stay the owner, and you stay free.
Our approach: hand-coded, never on WordPress
We code your site by hand, with no WordPress and no stack of plugins on top. The result: a site that is fast, secure and above all durable — fewer moving parts means fewer failures and a smaller attack surface.
Your Facebook posts can appear on it automatically, served from your own site, with no Meta cookie or tracker: GDPR-compliant by design. That is our guiding principle — we apply to your site exactly what we apply to our own.
Hand-coded site or platform: the honest comparison
Turnkey platforms and plugin-based sites look cheap at the outset. Over time — speed, security, ownership, real cost — a hand-coded site pulls ahead.
| Criterion | Hand-coded site | Platform / plugins |
|---|---|---|
| Loading speed | Often weighed down | |
| Ownership of your site | ✔ it's yours | You rent from the platform |
| Security | ✔ smaller surface | Plugins to keep watching |
| Control over SEO | ✔ total | Limited |
| Cost over 3 years | Predictable | Subscriptions stack up |
Built to be found — by Google and by AI assistants
A beautiful site nobody finds is worth nothing. From the design stage we lay the foundations that make you findable: a clear structure, structured data (schema.org), consistent business information and careful performance.
That is also what makes you legible to AI assistants — a discovery channel that keeps growing. Being clear to a human in a hurry gets you halfway to being clear to an AI; we take care of the other half.
How long does it take, and what does it cost?
A showcase site usually takes a few weeks, depending on how quickly you can supply content and sign off on drafts. We work in clear stages: scoping, an approved mockup, build, launch and handover.
On budget, we keep it transparent, with plans sized for tradespeople and small businesses — no hidden costs, and a site you retain full control of. Tell us about your project: the quote is precise and commits you to nothing.
