Bonjour.

Custom website design, worldwide

Custom websites,designed to be remembered.

Tailored around what the client wants, designed, built, and launched for anybody, anywhere in the world.

We can design websites worldwide.

We're website designers, we learn what your business does and who it's for, then design and build the site around it: live in days, not weeks, and found on Google & Bing from day one.

You own your domain and your site outright, no platform rent, ever.

Your site, your style

This page is the demo, flip it, and watch it change character:

Every Merci Web site is styled around its owner, colours, type, mood. Nothing here is a template.

Portfolio

Voilà, recent work.

Designed and built by our webmaster for the site's owners, a worldwide registry with 1,415 profiles, in 7 languages. You're looking at what custom means: no template produces this.

Bistro & café, est. 2009

Coffee, composed
like music.

Small-batch roasts, a menu that follows the market, and a room that glows after dark.

Maison Café is fictional, the transformation isn't. This is what “custom” looks like next to a template.

Design concepts

One studio, many voices.

Design concepts, drawn in code, not clients, just directions. Every Merci build starts from a blank page, so the range is the point.

The BistroPlayfair serif, noir & gold, centered editorial layout, the maison treatment.
The BarberAll-caps sans type, charcoal & steel palette, hard square grid, sharp, no frills.
The BoutiqueLight serif, blush & bone palette, wide airy spacing, soft retail calm.

The playground

Re-skin a site, live.

A taste of custom, every Merci site is built from a blank page.

Breads · Cakes · Visit

Baked at dawn, gone by noon.

Sourdough, croissants, and cakes to order, a neighbourhood bakery with a line out the door.

Typeface
Corners

Three palettes, two typefaces, two corner moods, thirty seconds in the playground. A real Merci build starts from a blank page and goes anywhere.

The process

From Bonjour to Voilà.

No. 1ConsultIt starts with one email. Tell us about your business and what you want, we reply honestly, with next steps and a clear price.
No. 2DesignWe design around your business, colours, type, and layout tailored to you, never pulled from a template shelf.
No. 3BuildHand-coded and fast, then registered with Google & Bing, sitemap and all, so customers can find you from day one.
No. 4LaunchVoilà, your site is live, on your own domain, in your name. Most sites are live in days, not weeks.

Pricing

Pricing, plainly stated.

Straightforward pricing, no surprises, the same prices for everybody, in the open.

One-page website, from $299 one-timeEverything needed to launch a polished one-page business site.
Each additional page, +$75Need more room? Every extra page is built to the same standard.
Care plan, $29/month: hosting, updates, and small changes handled.One less technical headache to manage.

Estimate your site

Slide, tap, know. This is the real math, no “request a quote” games.

1 page10 pages
One-time build$299

One-page website, $299

Start with an email

Yours, outright.

“Too expensive?” Do the ownership math. A page-builder charges rent forever, and the day you stop paying, the site is gone; it was never really yours. An agency quotes thousands and answers by ticket queue.

With Merci Web it's one fair price, once, your domain registered in your name, your site yours outright. No platform rent. No ransom. Yours.

No office visits, no in-person meetings, everything’s handled by email, wherever you are. We handle the domain, the build, the launch, and the search registration; you don't need any tech knowledge at all.

Questions

Everything you're wondering.

How much does a website cost?
Builds start at $299 one-time for a one-page site, extra pages are +$75 each, and the optional $29/month care plan covers hosting, updates, and small changes. Try the estimator above; it's the real math. Straightforward pricing, no surprises.
How long until my site is live?
Live in days, not weeks, that's the standard we build to. A one-page site moves fastest; larger sites take a little longer, and we'll always tell you straight where yours stands.
Do I actually own my website?
Yes, outright. Your domain is registered in your name and the site is yours. There's no platform rent: page-builders keep your site on their system for a monthly fee, and it disappears when you stop paying. Ours is built to be yours from day one.
What if I need changes later?
That's what the care plan is for, $29/month for hosting, updates, and small changes, handled for you. Think of it as your webmaster on retainer: we maintain it, update it, and keep watch, so you never have to think about it. Email us what changed; we handle the rest.
Will people find my site on Google?
That's built in, not bolted on: on-page SEO, structured data, an XML sitemap, Google Search Console & Bing registration, and IndexNow submission from day one. Our own portfolio piece, the registry in the work section, ranks #1 for its name on both Google & Bing.
What do I have to do?
Almost nothing, one email starts it. No office visits, no in-person meetings, no tech knowledge needed. We handle the domain, the design, the build, the launch, and the search registration, all by email, wherever you are in the world.
Will my site look like everybody else's?
No, every site is designed around its owner's business: colours, type, and mood chosen for you. The theme switcher at the top of this page is the idea in miniature, one page, three personalities, zero templates.
