A Lyon web team that also develops its own digital tools

A web agency is a company that specialises in designing, developing and optimising websites for search engines. It supports small businesses and SMEs through their digital transformation, from building the website to winning customers online.

For a small business or SME, the website is the first point of contact for a customer looking for a provider on Google — before the phone call, before the visit. It is also the only channel the business fully owns, unlike a profile on a third-party platform.

KAYZEN is a French team based in Lyon's 9th arrondissement. We help businesses with website design and also build our own applications: digital tools developed in-house to meet real needs, with a commitment to making them more accessible.

How do you build a professional website in Lyon?

Building a professional website follows our three-step method:

  1. Audit & Strategy — analysis of your market, your competitors, target keywords and the purpose of the site.
  2. Bespoke design — mock-ups approved before any code, copy and accessibility checked, then development in React 19 and TypeScript.
  3. Launch & Growth — going live, Google indexing, performance tracking and continuous optimisation.

What performance should you expect from a website in 2026?

According to the Lighthouse reports published in our 32 measured case studies, websites built by KAYZEN achieve the following averages:

  • SEO: 99/100 — with 28 projects at exactly 100/100.
  • Accessibility: 96/100 — 21 projects at 95/100 or above.
  • Best practices: 98/100.
  • Performance: 85/100 — our area with the most room for improvement, and every low score is explained on the page of the project concerned.

Web agency vs freelancer: what's the difference?

Choosing between a web agency and a freelancer depends on your budget and the complexity of your project. Here is a comparison:

What is search engine optimisation (SEO)?

Search engine optimisation (SEO) covers all the techniques used to improve a website's position in Google's search results. It includes technical optimisation, high-quality content and earning inbound links (backlinks).

It is the most durable acquisition channel: a well-built website keeps attracting visitors without advertising spend, whereas a campaign stops when its budget runs out.

Our SEO agency expertise covers technical SEO audits, on-page optimisation, content strategy and local SEO through Google Business Profile.

What is an AI agent, and what is the MCP protocol?

An AI agent is a program that can carry out tasks autonomously: answering customers, qualifying enquiries, generating documents or orchestrating business tools. The MCP protocol (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard that connects an AI such as Claude or ChatGPT to your tools: CRM, calendar, invoicing, databases.

KAYZEN builds bespoke MCP applications: AI agent integration, tool orchestration, multi-agent systems, APIs and automation — a service delivered 100% remotely, for clients anywhere in France.

Why is digital marketing essential in 2026?

Digital marketing covers all promotional activity carried out on digital channels: search engines, social media, email and online advertising.

Customers search, compare and read reviews before they call; online advertising puts your offer in front of them at exactly that moment, with a budget you control and results you can measure campaign by campaign.

We support our clients with digital marketing: Google Ads (paid search) campaigns, social media management, targeted email marketing and automation powered by artificial intelligence.

What concrete results for businesses in Lyon?

We only publish what we measure. Here is what our 40 case studies show:

  • A Lighthouse SEO score of 100/100 on 28 of the 32 measured projects, and never below 92.
  • Accessibility: 21 projects at 95/100 or above — the European Accessibility Act has applied since June 2025.
  • Performance: 85/100 on average — every low score is explained on the project page, along with its cause.
  • Going live is included in every package, with the hosting provider of your choice, plus SSL certificate and backups.

No off-the-shelf templates. A unique design that reflects who you are and turns visitors into customers.

Public funding in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

Public funding: we check your eligibility

Schemes change every year and many promises found online are out of date. Here is what really exists in 2026 for small businesses and SMEs in Lyon and the wider region, and how we check it for you.

Atouts Numériques

Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region

Diagnostic and support 100% funded (Region + ERDF) for small businesses and SMEs with fewer than 50 employees. The scheme pays for advice, not for building the website.

France Num

French government initiative

The French state's official portal: around 200 national and regional schemes listed by area. France Num informs and points you in the right direction; it does not pay grants directly.

Local funding

CCI, CMA, local authorities

One-off digitalisation grants exist depending on your municipality and your chamber of commerce or trades. We check which ones apply to you before any quote.

KAYZEN support

Our commitment

We identify the funding your business is eligible for and help you put together your application.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about website design in Lyon

Answers to the questions businesses in Lyon ask before launching their web project.

The price depends on the complexity of the project. A professional showcase website starts at €1,599 (Core package), while a bespoke e-commerce site starts at €3,999 (Legacy package) and is then quoted individually. Net prices — VAT not applicable, Article 293 B of the French CGI (tax code). KAYZEN provides free, tailored quotes within 24 hours for small businesses and SMEs in Lyon and across the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.

A Lyon-based web agency such as KAYZEN offers a single point of contact backed by specialist partners (design, development, SEO, marketing), long-term availability and in-depth knowledge of the local business landscape. We support businesses in Lyon, Villeurbanne and throughout Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes with a dedicated contact and ongoing performance tracking.

A Core showcase website is delivered in 2 to 4 weeks, a Craft package in 4 to 6 weeks and a Legacy project (e-commerce, customer area, business tools) in 6 to 10 weeks. We work in an agile way with regular checkpoints to deliver a result that meets your expectations and is optimised for Google's Core Web Vitals.

Every website built by KAYZEN includes full on-page SEO: semantic markup (H1, H2, H3), Schema.org structured data, Core Web Vitals performance, responsive design and Google Search Console setup. We also offer advanced SEO services to strengthen your visibility on Google in Lyon.

Website redesign is one of our core services. We audit your current site (design, performance, SEO), identify areas for improvement and design a new version that respects your identity while maximising conversions and search engine visibility.

Less than people claim — and these schemes only apply to businesses established in France. In 2026, small businesses and SMEs in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes with fewer than 50 employees can get a diagnostic and support fully funded (Atouts Numériques, a programme run by the Region with ERDF/FEDER funding); SMEs with 10 or more employees can get co-funding for an AI diagnostic (IA Booster France 2030, until 31 December 2026); and some local authorities or chambers of commerce offer variable local grants. Details of the schemes that actually exist — and of those that no longer do — are kept up to date on our funding page (/aides). We check your eligibility before any quote, because funding must always be applied for before work begins.

Core Web Vitals are a set of metrics defined by Google to measure a website's user experience: LCP (loading speed), INP (responsiveness) and CLS (visual stability). A good score directly improves your Google ranking. Across the 32 projects for which we publish Lighthouse reports, the average is 99/100 for SEO, 96/100 for accessibility and 85/100 for performance — every score can be checked on the page of the project concerned.

Every site includes an SSL certificate, a compliant cookie policy, spam protection on forms and regular backups. We apply GDPR best practice: informed consent, data minimisation and encrypted communications.

SEO (search engine optimisation) aims for lasting positions in Google's organic results, without paying per click. SEA (search engine advertising) refers to paid Google Ads. We recommend a combined strategy: SEA for immediate results and SEO for sustainable growth.

Yes. We offer annual maintenance contracts covering security updates, daily backups, performance monitoring and priority technical support. We also provide monthly SEO follow-up with detailed reporting to keep improving your visibility.

Yes. KAYZEN builds applications based on the MCP protocol (Model Context Protocol): AI agents connected to your business tools (CRM, calendar, invoicing), multi-agent systems, APIs and bespoke automation. These services are delivered 100% remotely, for clients throughout France. Get in touch for a free assessment of your use cases.

The most common cases: qualifying and responding to incoming enquiries, booking appointments, generating quotes and documents, customer follow-ups, monitoring and reporting. Together we identify high-volume repetitive tasks, then build the right agent or automation — with measurable ROI from the very first weeks.
