Four practices, one house
You should not have to look for four different suppliers: support, training, consulting and engineering talk to each other, complete each other, and come from one house. Artificial intelligence is not a fifth trade beside them: it runs through all four.
Support
Your IT stops slowing you down.
Day-to-day troubleshooting and support, on site or remotely; workstations on Windows, macOS or Linux — we work with what you already have, without forcing a camp on you; Microsoft 365 as well as free software suites; backups, security, passwords, network and printers; guidance when you renew hardware.
AI and agents An assistant working on your own documents, installed at your premises, fully local when they cannot leave.
Training
Your teams become self-sufficient.
Office skills on the tools you already use — Excel, Word, Outlook, Teams and SharePoint as well as LibreOffice, Thunderbird and free suites; sessions at your place, on your own files, at your pace; short workshops for a whole team; from complete beginner to advanced.
AI and agents What AI assistants do well, what they make up, how to check it — on your own documents.
Consulting
You decide on facts.
A review of your equipment, software and costs, without jargon; a roadmap ranked by risk and by gain, not by fashion; help choosing and negotiating your tools; support for data protection and compliance.
AI and agents Local assistant or hosted service: what leaves your premises, what each option costs, what it returns.
Engineering
Tools that fit your business, not the other way round.
Bespoke web and intranet tools: internal portals, case tracking, forms and dashboards, opened in a browser on a computer or a phone. A desktop application for Windows or Linux, or an Android application, when the browser is not enough. A new tool, designed around your trade.
AI and agents Agents wired to your data: documents, data entry, mail — inside your tool or entirely on your premises.
Your website deserves better than a pile of plugins
We replace WordPress and Drupal sites with custom-built Blazor .NET sites: faster, safer, multilingual FR / EN / DE, with no supplier lock-in.

Six steps, from scoping to operations
No line of code before the scope is approved. No go-live without a written acceptance.
1. Scoping
Objectives, audiences, languages, constraints: one written page.
Who approves : you
2. Analysis
Review of what already exists, content inventory, risk points.
Who approves : you
3. Proposal
Scope, batches, schedule, firm price, and what is excluded.
Who approves : you
4. Build
Batches delivered to the acceptance environment, tests at every batch.
Who approves : we
5. Acceptance
You approve page by page, on the acceptance environment.
Who approves : you
6. Go-live
Switch-over after your written approval, then monitoring.
Who approves : we
No line of code before the scope is approved. No go-live without a written acceptance.
No lock-in
What you receive on delivery, and what stays yours.
- The source code of the site, and every account.
- The operations documentation, written for a third party.
- A handover procedure, so another supplier can carry on without us.
- The domain name stays in your name.
- Hosting is in Switzerland, with Infomaniak.
Who we help
Associations, sole traders and small businesses, mainly in Geneva and Nyon.
Since 2015 the same situations keep coming back: ageing hardware, licences nobody tracks, backups never tested, a website nobody understands any more. We start by observing, then we propose.
We provide references and examples of past work on request, with the agreement of the people concerned.
Frequently asked questions
Eight questions that come up in every first conversation.
How much does a website cost?
It depends on three things: the number of pages, the number of languages and the quality of the content provided. We quote after a review, never before.
My WordPress site is good enough for me.
That is possible, and the review exists to confirm it. If it does, we say so and leave you three recommendations.
Why not a site for 30 francs a month?
For a simple presentation page, that is often enough. As soon as there are three languages, client data or a search ranking to maintain, those offers hit their ceiling — and you own nothing.
Isn't .NET heavy and expensive?
It is Microsoft's technology, used in business for twenty years, with no server licence, and it runs on a modest server.
What if you disappear?
That is planned for: source code handed over, operations documentation, a third-party handover procedure, and the domain name stays in your name.
How long does it take?
Like-for-like rebuild: two to four weeks. Redesign: six to twelve weeks, a third of it analysis. We never promise a date before the analysis.
Do you work remotely?
Yes, for most interventions. On-site troubleshooting and training take place in French-speaking Switzerland, mainly Geneva and Nyon. Everything else is handled remotely, anywhere in Switzerland.
Can you repair my existing site?
No, and we say so plainly: we do not take on a pile of plugins that nobody masters. We rebuild on a sound base, keeping your addresses and your search ranking.
