Crénage is an independent web studio in Paris. We design and build modern websites for startups and growing businesses, make motion design videos that explain what you do, and put AI to work where it saves you time. Strategy, design, code and care, from one small team that picks up the phone.
( The problem )
Visitors decide in seconds whether you look credible. An old design tells them the business is old too, and they quietly choose the competitor who looks the part.
Our fix. We redesign it so the first impression finally matches the quality of your work.
See redesignsMost of your visitors arrive on a phone, often on a patchy connection. Every extra second of loading loses some of them before they read a word.
Our fix. We build in plain, fast code. Pages appear almost instantly, on any connection.
The engine underneathIf you don't show up when people search for what you do, the site barely exists. Most small business sites are invisible to Google and to AI assistants alike.
Our fix. Structure, speed and content built for search from the first line of code.
How we buildGeneric headlines and stock photos make visitors guess what you actually do. Most won't make the effort. They leave without ever finding out how good you are.
Our fix. We write the message before we design a single screen.
How it worksA new price, a new photo, a new service. On most sites each change means a ticket, a delay and an invoice, so nothing ever gets updated.
Our fix. Send us a message. Small changes go live within 24 hours, included in your care plan.
The care planA new website, designed and built around how your clients actually decide. Clear message, distinctive design, fast code, search foundations and analytics, launched on your own domain. For startups going live and businesses starting fresh.
Your current site, rethought and rebuilt. We keep what works, fix what costs you enquiries, carry over your content and your search rankings, and relaunch without downtime. The first impression finally matches the business.
Short animated videos that explain your service, walk through your new website or bring your product to life. Made for your homepage, your pitch deck and your social channels. €200 with a website, €500 on its own.
Assistants and automations that take repetitive work off your desk, and AI on your website that turns visitors into enquiries. Only where it saves time or wins clients, always with a person in control. It starts with a €450 audit.
( Who we build for )
We work with startups, firms and independents in every field. A few of the places where a sharper website changes the most:
( The no-risk start )
Send us your current website, or simply tell us what you do. We design your new homepage around how your clients decide and send it back as a working page you can open on your phone. It's yours to keep either way. If it wins you over, we quote the rest.
Free, no commitment, no card. Just a better homepage.
Your current site, or one line about what you do.
Message first, then a real, working page.
On your phone and your laptop, within 5 working days.
An itemised quote for the full site. No pressure, no bill.
( How it works )
Each stage ends with something concrete you can hold us to. Most sites go live three to five weeks after the first call.

Every month after

( The engine underneath )
Every site we build runs on the same modern technology as the web's biggest names, so yours is fast, secure and easy to grow.
( Next.js )
Pages are prepared before anyone asks for them and served from the server closest to each visitor. Nobody waits, and Google notices.
( Edge network )
Your site runs on a global network with automatic HTTPS and backups. No server to patch, no slowdown when traffic spikes.
( Schema.org )
Clean structure, structured data and fast pages: the signals Google and AI assistants use to decide who to show.
( GSAP )
Animation is part of the build, not a heavy plugin. Smooth on a phone, and switched off for anyone who prefers less motion.
( Your repository )
The code, the content and the domain belong to you. No platform rent, no proprietary builder holding your site hostage.

We design and build websites for startups and businesses, from a first launch to a complete redesign, make motion design videos that explain what you do, and build practical AI: automations, website assistants and audits. After launch we host the site and look after it for you.
Yes, where it pays. We start with a €450 audit that shows where AI would save time or win clients, and where it wouldn't. Then we build the automations or the website assistant that pay back fastest, always with a person approving what matters.
Most projects start at €1,500, quoted precisely once we know what you need. You can pay upfront, half to start and half at launch, or spread it at €300 a month over up to 6 months. Hosting and care are €100 a month.
Before you commit to anything, we design your new homepage and send it to you as a working page. It's yours to keep. If you like the direction, we quote the full site. If not, you owe us nothing.
The free concept takes up to 5 working days. A full website usually goes live three to five weeks after the first call, depending on the number of pages and how quickly we get your content.
Yes. Send us a message with what you want changed. Small updates like text, photos and prices are included in your care plan and go live within 24 hours.
Every site is built for search from the first line: fast pages, clean structure, structured data, a sitemap and proper titles. Rankings also depend on your competition and your content, so nobody can honestly promise a position, but you start from the strongest foundations.
We are based in Paris and work with clients across France and abroad, in French and in English. Everything can be done remotely, and we are happy to meet in person when it helps.
Strategy, design and code working as one system. Tell us what you need and hear back within 24 hours.
