While other web designers push the same WordPress templates to every client, Montagne Noire Web Studio creates custom-coded websites specifically for Albi’s business community. Your Albi business, whether you are an artisan, a boutique hotel or a service provider, is unique. Your website should be, too.

Custom Web Design Built for Albi Businesses

Albi businesses face unique challenges online. Competing with larger agencies from Toulouse while serving a local market requires something different than generic templates. That’s why we’ve perfected our approach specifically for Tarn businesses - hand-coded websites that perform like enterprise solutions but fit small business budgets.

Our experience shows in every aspect of our service. We understand the budget constraints local businesses face, which is why we offer affordable monthly payments with zero down. We know you can’t afford technical headaches, so our sites never need WordPress updates or plugin maintenance. And most importantly, we understand that every euro spent on your website needs to generate real returns.

Professional website built for Christophe Guérin 3D, serving Albi and the entire Tarn region with expert pest control services.

This local business focus means we build websites differently. Every feature is chosen for its impact on your bottom line. Every design decision is made with your Albi customers in mind. And every technical optimization is aimed at helping you compete with larger competitors from Toulouse and beyond.

A Better Approach to Web Development in Albi

While most web designers rely on WordPress and page builders, we create something truly unique. Our custom-coded websites are built from scratch for performance and local search rankings. This means no bloated themes slowing you down, no security vulnerabilities putting your business at risk, and no monthly maintenance headaches eating into your time.

For Albi businesses, this specialized approach delivers real advantages. Your website loads in under one second, keeping impatient customers from leaving. You rank better in local searches because Google loves our clean, efficient code. And your site stands out from competitors using the same WordPress templates everyone else has.

Why Albi Businesses Choose Montagne Noire Web Studio

  • Local understanding: Based in Mazamet, just an hour from Albi
  • Performance-focused design that generates real leads and sales
  • Direct access to Geoffrey - no automated systems or overseas support
  • Affordable solutions with zero down payment required
  • Deep expertise in Albi’s market and competitive landscape

The Problem With WordPress And Page Builders

WordPress powers 43% of all websites - making it impossible to stand out. But the problems go deeper than just looking the same. Here’s why custom code works better for Albi businesses:

  • Template sites are bloated with unnecessary code that kills load times
  • Our sites are immune to hacking because there’s nothing TO hack - no plugins, no databases
  • You never need security updates or plugin maintenance
  • We can build any design you want, not just what templates allow
  • Clean code that Google loves, leading to better rankings in Albi searches

If you want to stand out in your market, you don’t want to have the same website using the same tools as everyone else. If you want a real competitive edge you need to do something DIFFERENT. And that’s exactly what we offer. We build what they can’t, and this is why so many small businesses come to us and stay with us for years.

Better Performance Means Better Business in Albi

Website speed directly impacts your bottom line. When visitors wait more than 3 seconds, half of them leave. Our custom development approach delivers sub-second load times, ensuring potential customers stay on your site instead of bouncing back to Google.

Combined with clean code that search engines love, this performance advantage helps you outrank and outperform your competition. Everyone who clicks your website GETS to your website, which lowers your bounce rate, increases engagement from your visitors, improves click-through rates, and boosts session times. These are all signals to Google that you are an authoritative source for those searches, helping you climb the rankings for “Albi [your service]” searches.

After

Real performance metrics matter. The difference between a slow WordPress site and our custom-coded approach isn’t just noticeable - it’s measurable. Perfect Lighthouse scores mean faster load times, better user experience, and higher search rankings for your Albi business.

Complete Digital Marketing for Albi Businesses

Success online requires more than just a great website. Our professional SEO services help Albi businesses dominate local search results. We understand how to optimize for Albi’s unique market - from the tourism-heavy cathedral district to the Pierre Fabre pharmaceutical hub - ensuring you show up when local customers are searching for your services.

Need faster growth? Our Google Ads management delivers qualified local leads to your business. Because our custom-coded sites load instantly and provide excellent user experience, you’ll typically see better conversion rates and lower advertising costs than competitors using slower, template-based sites.

Custom Website Development for Every Albi Business

Because we write every line of code ourselves, we can create any functionality your business needs. No limiting templates, no pre-built restrictions - just pure creative freedom to build exactly what works for you. Here are some of the Albi businesses we serve:

  • Tourism and hospitality (hotels, restaurants, guided tours)
  • Healthcare providers and medical practices
  • Professional services (lawyers, accountants, consultants)
  • Retail shops and boutiques in the historic center
  • Construction contractors and artisans
  • Pierre Fabre district businesses
  • Educational institutions
  • Real estate agencies

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long does the subscription last?

    The subscription package is a contract that lasts a minimum of 12 months. It's month to month after that, and you can cancel at anytime after the 12 months have lapsed.

  • Are there penalties for late payments?

    Invoices have a 7-day grace period before a $25 late fee is applied on the next invoice. If you have multiple overdue monthly invoices on a subscription, we reserve the right to take legal actions, including, but not limited to, the termination of the contract and the triggering of the terminations clauses.

    We are generally flexible and understanding, but if there is no communication or response to our messages, we must take steps to ensure we are paid for our work and not taken advantage of.

  • I don't understand the difference between Subscription and Lump Sum packages.

    Think of it like buying versus leasing a car. With monthly payments, you'll spread the cost into smaller, budget-friendly amounts. Plus, you get ongoing support and updates. While you might pay more over time, it's easier on your cash flow.

    The one-time payment is like buying outright; you pay more upfront but save money in the long run. You get everything done at once, including design and development, with no monthly commitments.

    Which is right for you? If you prefer manageable monthly payments and value ongoing support, go with the subscription. If you'd rather pay once and be done, and don't need regular maintenance, the one-time payment is your best bet.

  • How about the addons?

    We have two addons with monthly fees: the hosting addon and the unlimited edits addon. These work on a 12-month minimum contract basis. The other addons are a one-time fee that must be paid upfront.

  • Do you charge VAT?

    No, we do not charge VAT. All prices displayed on this site are final and include all taxes and fees.

  • What payment options do you accept?

    We accept payments via card or bank transfer. We do not accept checks.

  • What is your Lighthouse Speed Guarantee?

    Our Lighthouse Speed Guarantee means we'll work to achieve a minimum of 95 on the Peformance metric in the Lighthouse audit. This ensures your website loads quickly and makes Google happy.

  • Do you use WordPress, Wix, templates or page builders?

    No, everything we make is built with hand-written code. This is what sets us apart: we put the time and effort to do things differently and we value well-crafted sites and relationships over anything else.

  • What are the advantages of custom code over WordPress and other page builders?

    We guarantee that your custom-coded website will outperform any page-builder on speed, security, ease-of-use and accessibilty standards.

    Have you ever had a WP website? Do you know what happens if you forget to do the almost biweekly update of the dozens of plugins, or your core WP software? You get hacked and your site now redirects to a an illegal Russian streaming site. Or heard of the legal battle unfolding?

  • Is my website secure? Can I be hacked?

    Most hacking attacks on websites occur through vulnerabilities in WordPress plug-ins. We don't rely on those to write our code. We also don't have databases or login pages. There's nothing to hack actually!

  • Do you do SEO?

    Yes and no. SEO works in two ways: on-site and off-site.

    Think of on-site SEO as everything happening on your website itself – the technical elements, like making pages load fast, using proper HTML semantic code, implementing accessibility best practices so that Google can read your site properly. Our website packages do include these on-site SEO essentials.

    On the other hand, off-site SEO happens elsewhere on the internet – like getting other websites to link to yours and building your online reputation. While our packages do not include off-site SEO services, we'd be happy to connect you with our SEO partner to discuss options and pricing.

  • Is my website accessible by people with disabilities?

    We thoroughly test for color contrast, keyboard navigation and use of assistive technology such as screen readers to make sure your website is accessible by everyone. Web accessibility is regulated by European law, as well as the State of California in the USA.

  • What happens when I cancel my subscription after the 12 months minimum?

    If you cancel, we take your website offline. You may sign a new 12-month minimum contract at any point. We retain ownership of the code base.

  • Are there penalties for canceling my subscription before the 12 months minimum?

    If you cancel before the end of the initial 12 months, the full cost (2500 €) of the website is due, minus what you have already paid in subscription fees. We retain ownership of the code base.

  • What happens if I want to stop during the design process?

    Whether you have signed a Lump Sum or Subscription contract, you still have the right to change your mind up until the end of the design stage, and we will refund you. However, once the development stage has started, refunds will be at our discretion.

  • Can we talk ownership, copyright and intelectual property?

    Sure! The specifics will always be outlined in your contract, but generally speaking, for subscription packages, we retain ownership of the codebase and we grant you a license, while for lump sum packages, we will transfer ownership of the codebase to you upon delivery.

    No matter the package, you own the domain name, and any assets and content you have provided us with.

  • On a Subscription package, is there a "Buy out" option?

    Yes, the transfer of the source code and all data to a compressed folder OR the transfer of ownership of the Github repository will be invoiced at 5000€ including taxes.

  • How long until my website is online?

    Once all the paperwork is sorted, we aim to deliver your website within 4 weeks. Many factors come into play, such as client's reactivity, complexity of the design, number of pages etc.

  • Sorry to ask, but what happens to my site if something happens to you?

    That's ok! If something were to happen to me (Geoffrey, the owner), my business partner and back-end developer Nicolas would take over. Your website would not be impacted, but you would be able to redefine your contract.

  • How can I request edits on my site?

    Send us an email at info@montagnenoirewebstudio.com and it will go into our ticketing system. We often support 7 days a week.

  • What ongoing technical support do you provide?

    Our support packages include monthly maintenance checks, immediate bug fixes, security updates, and editing the text and images of your site. They do not include creating new pages, content or widgets.
