Why Custom Code Changes Everything

At Montagne Noire Web Studio, we build websites like you would build a solid house: brick by brick, line of code by line of code. No shortcuts, no dodgy plugins, no WordPress slowing everything down.

Most agencies use site builders like Wix or WordPress. It is convenient for them, but problematic for you. These platforms generate thousands of lines of unnecessary code that slow down your site and create security vulnerabilities.

By writing every line of code ourselves, we eliminate all the bloat. The result: lightweight, fast sites perfectly optimized for your business.

  • Loading times divided by 4
  • Conversion rates that climb
  • Impossible to hack
  • No mandatory updates
  • Unique design that reflects your brand

WordPress Migration: A Stress-Free Transition

Automated WordPress content export process

Already have a WordPress site and hesitating to switch to custom code? We have developed a proven methodology for migrating your content without data loss or SEO impact:

  1. Automated Export - Conversion of all your WordPress content into structured Markdown files with preserved hierarchy.
  2. Metadata Preservation - Automatic retention of publication dates, categories, tags, and image associations.
  3. Code Cleanup - Removal of WordPress-specific shortcodes and HTML markup optimization for modern standards.
  4. Intelligent Restructuring - Logical content reorganization following an optimal architecture for maximum performance.
  5. Complete SEO Validation - URL verification and optimization, meta descriptions, and Schema.org structured data implementation.

This methodical approach guarantees a seamless migration while immediately benefiting from the performance of a modern site. You keep all your content while drastically improving your speed and security. Discover how we migrated the Villa de Mazamet website.

Speed Is Not a Luxury

According to Google, 53% of visitors leave a site that takes more than 3 seconds to load. You are losing half of your potential customers before they even see your offer.

Our sites load in under two seconds. No frustrating wait, no “loading” messages. Your visitors immediately access your content and can take action without delay.

First impressions count. A fast site inspires trust and credibility.

Maximum Security

WordPress sites are prime targets for hackers. Outdated plugins, poorly configured databases, and known vulnerabilities create multiple entry points. A single missed update can compromise your site.

Our sites are static. No database to hack, no plugins to exploit, no admin panel to force entry. There is simply nothing to attack. This architecture guarantees maximum security without any maintenance effort on your part.

How We Work

We write everything in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. These three languages are the foundation of all websites that exist. Site builders simply generate these languages automatically, producing bloated and inefficient code.

By writing every line ourselves, we control everything: the structure, performance, file weight. We optimize every image, compress every resource, and host your files on fast servers close to your users.

The result? A site that loads instantly, converts better, and costs you less in the long run.

Our Lighthouse Speed Guarantee

We do not just promise “a fast site.” We contractually guarantee a minimum score of 90/100 across all four Google PageSpeed Insights criteria: performance, accessibility, best practices, and SEO.

If your site does not reach these scores, we work until it does. This guarantee reflects our absolute confidence in our development approach.

Accessibility and GDPR Compliance

We build all our sites according to WCAG 2.1 standards. Alternative text for images, keyboard navigation, adapted color contrasts, logical structure for screen readers. Your site will be accessible to everyone and compliant with European accessibility regulations.

We also handle GDPR compliance. Properly configured cookie banners, protected user data, secure European hosting. You are compliant on all fronts from day one.

A Profitable Investment

Cheap solutions always end up costing more. Between necessary corrections, security problems, and customers lost due to a poorly performing site, initial savings quickly turn into losses.

Our approach offers you a professional, fast, and secure site that generates measurable results. It is a strategic investment in your online presence and growth. And all of this at unbeatable prices: starting at 100 euros per month.

  • Why not WordPress if everyone uses it?

    WordPress is very popular because it is easy to install and very flexible, but it is not necessarily the best solution for a small business that wants a fast, simple, and hassle-free site. In practice, many WordPress sites become slow and fragile due to updates, plugins that break, and heavy code. For a business owner who does not have time to manage all that, every bug or slowdown can cost dearly in credibility and customers. A custom site is designed solely for your needs: lighter, faster, more secure, and simpler to maintain in the long term. And we are not necessarily more expensive than WordPress agencies: our offer starts at 100 euros per month.

  • How much does a custom site actually cost compared to WordPress?

    A "cheap" WordPress site often starts between 500 and 1,500 euros, but you need to add hosting, some paid plugins, maintenance, and interventions whenever there is a problem. In the end, many businesses pay 50 to 150 euros per month to keep the site in good condition... when it is properly maintained. Our monthly plan at 100 euros is all-inclusive: custom development, hosting, maintenance, updates, and unlimited modifications. You have no surprises, no hidden fees, no site that breaks after an update. For you, this means a single clear budget and the guarantee that the site remains functional and up-to-date over time.

  • Can AI create my website for free?

    AI tools (ChatGPT, Lovable, Replit, etc.) can help generate code or a first draft of a site, but they do not replace a professional website designed for your business. AI does not really know your market, your customers, your legal constraints, or your business objectives. It produces "generic" sites that all look alike, with standard text and often technical or performance problems. Moreover, your site depends entirely on a platform: if it changes its prices, limits features, or closes, you lose everything or have to redo it elsewhere, without controlling your code or your data. A professional website requires more than code: a strategy, a design adapted to your image, measured performance, and proper integration.

  • What happens if I want to change something on my site?

    With our monthly plan, it is simple: you contact us by phone, WhatsApp, or email and we make the change. Text, image, price—it is included. No quote for each change.
