Showcase website
We design custom and animated showcase websites from Lyon.
We create websites with love and passion. We are constantly seeking that balance between your desires and our expertise, in order to offer you the very best.
Let's start by laying the foundations
- 01
A showcase site is a medium that helps you show off what you do best, whether it's products, services or even yourself if you're an artist. It's like the business card of your online business. It's where you put all your shiny, eye-catching stuff to make visitors want to find out more. It's the little spotlight on what you want to show the world.
- 02
The aim here is to improve your image, position your brand, convert prospects, increase your visibility and optimize your communication. Transforming your website into a genuine communication tool is a substantial investment, but one that pays off in the long term by providing you with a solid foundation. It's much more than a simple update, it's a strategy for ensuring the long-term future of your online presence.
Our strength lies in the diversity of our clients. We work with a variety of people and projects, and that's what makes us strong. We are always eager to discover your world, to share ours, and to create something unique together.
Interacting with you, understanding your future goals, is always a true pleasure.
Let yourself be guided
Is our field not your usual playground? We're here to make things easier. We'll explain to you in simple terms how the creation of a showcase website with us unfolds. No technical jargon, just the concrete stuff.
Every project comes with its set of documents: a design contract, a specification book, and a provisional schedule.
At Akaru, we like things to be square and transparent.
Summary phase :
We start with the brief, an initial meeting where you tell us your story: who you are, what you do, your vision, your objectives and what you need. Once we've validated the quote, we get down to the art direction.
Art Direction phase :
We guide you in establishing the site's structure (the wireframe), and then we start work on the mock-up of the home page. This is where we come up with an initial visual idea, and together we refine it until it speaks to you.
Once this creative idea has been given the green light, we roll it out to all the other pages. We mock it all up on Figma, so that you can project it as if it were already online. We want you to have a clear vision of your future website.
Want to know more about our art direction expertise? Or in need of a graphic identity makeover? We've got a lot to say about that here.
Development & Launch phase :
Once the design has been validated, we attack the development phase.
If you come to us for a redesign and you have a technical constraint with your current CMS, we'll discuss it and adapt.
If you don't yet have an online site, we suggest our favorites, CMS Sanity or Prismic, for their ease of use.
Once development is complete, we send you a pre-prod of your future site. We take the time to train you on the back-end, i.e. how to modify content and administer the whole thing without needing us. We want you to be totally independent of your site. We hand you the keys.
Then it's time to put the project online.
What are the benefits of using Akaru to create a showcase website?
- PERSONALIZATION
We're all about personalization. We're not content with ready-made templates, we create personalized sites that reflect your image. From design to development, it's tailor-made at every level. Our promise: a site that sticks to your identity, achieves your goals, but above all sets you apart from the crowd. Because for us, uniqueness is the watchword.
- CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY
Our greatest strength lies in our development technologies. We keep up to date with the latest advances to ensure you get the very best in animation and performance.
Our attention to detail is our trademark. It's our trademark. We specialize in the finest animations to enhance design and deliver the ultimate user experience. We like every pixel to count and every interaction to be an unforgettable experience.
- DIGITAL SUPPORT
We're not just here to create a site, we're here to advise and support you at every stage of your digital strategy. We're here to listen, be available and answer your questions.
Before, during and even after the project, we stay in touch. We want to be there when you need us, because for us, the end of the project doesn't mean the end of the relationship. It's like having a trusted partner, always ready to lend a hand.
- EASY-TO-USE CMS
We work mainly with Sanity and Prismic for the CMS. These two tools are our preferred partners for several reasons: they offer great flexibility and top performance, and for you, it's a guarantee that you'll get to grips with them quickly and without any headaches.
In just 1 hour of training, you'll have all the keys in hand. Even if you're not a web expert, we guarantee you'll feel right at home modifying your site.
- EVOLUTIVE
Our sites are tailor-made, but that's not all. They're also completely scalable and flexible. If you'd like to add new features, pages or even sections, no problem. We've thought of everything so that your site can grow and evolve with your business. If you'd like to add extra functionality, we're open to your requests.
- BLOCKS
Think of our sites as Lego. In other words, they're built from blocks. For example, a block might contain a title, text and an image. We determine this upstream of the project, by drawing up a list of the blocks or sections you need.
You can then use these blocks as you see fit to build your own pages.
How much does it cost?
These rates depend on several criteria such as the size of your site, the desired features, and the level of animation you want. If you would like to get more information or a quote for your project, please do not hesitate to contact us.
