Our process
Four Weeks, Brand to Launch
From a blank page to a brand identity, a bilingual website, and an SEO foundation that worked from day one.
- 01
Discovery & positioning Audited the French-speaking coaching market. Identified the gap: clinical credentials applied to coaching, not the other way around. Built the positioning around Aurore's pharma background, not despite it.
- 02
Brand identity, from scratch Logo, five-color palette, type system on Montserrat, and a one-page voice guide. Designed to read as professional and warm in both languages — neither corporate nor clinical.
- 03
Bilingual site build Custom WordPress theme on GeneratePress. 30+ pages in French and English with TranslatePress. Booking integration for free discovery sessions, newsletter signup, contact forms, and mobile-first responsive layout.
- 04
Launch & SEO foundation Schema, sitemap, and hreflang configured at launch. Metadata reviewed and translated page by page. Indexing verified across both locales before handoff.
Strategic decisions
The Three Bets That Shaped the Brand
Three calls made at the start that defined how the brand would talk, look, and convert.
- 01
French-First, English-Second — Neither a Translation
French carries the primary voice; English is a credible second, not a Google-Translate echo. Cultural authority in two markets, written natively in each.
- 02
Brand Before Site
Logo, palette, type system, and voice guide were built before the website existed. The brand carries the credibility; the site delivers it. A coach can't lead with the URL — she has to lead with the identity.
- 03
Lightweight Stack Over Plugin Sprawl
GeneratePress + TranslatePress + RankMath — not a heavy multilingual page-builder stack. Faster pages, fewer maintenance points, and a CMS Aurore can edit herself without calling for help.

The visual system
Crafting a Visual Language of Growth
We developed a complete brand identity that balances professionalism with warmth, using psychology-driven design choices to create immediate trust and connection.
Color Psychology & Meaning
Navy anchors credibility, cyan and blue-gray introduce warmth without softening the authority. Warm beige and charcoal carry body copy at AA contrast in both locales.

Typography
One family, working harder. Weight 900 for editorial headlines, 500 for reading. No ornate display face — the substance comes from the writing.
Aurore Lacas
Bridging science and serenity.
Logo creation
A sprout drawn as a single contour signals growth without being literal. Coaching as cultivation, not transformation — the mark had to earn trust before the name did.
The outcome
Brand built. Site shipped. Foundation laid.

Why we did it this way
Why we made the calls we made
Decision · 01
Science-Based Positioning
Leveraged Aurore's pharmaceutical background to differentiate from typical life coaches, establishing credibility through structured, evidence-based approach.
Decision · 02
Emotional Color Strategy
Carefully selected blues for trust and calm, greens for growth and healing—avoiding dark colors that could trigger anxiety in target audience.
Decision · 03
Story-Driven Connection
Built the About page as a vulnerable, authentic narrative that mirrors client struggles, creating immediate emotional connection and trust.
Decision · 04
Clear Value Proposition
Designed every page element to reinforce transformation promise: "From anxiety to confidence" messaging throughout user journey.
Decision · 05
Conversion Architecture
Multiple touchpoints for engagement: free discovery session, newsletter, contact form—meeting visitors at their comfort level.

International Accessibility
Built for international reach with phone, video, and in-person session options. Coaching delivery isn't geographically constrained — the site reflects that.
What the client said
Xavier created my WordPress website for my life coaching business, and I couldn't be happier with the result. He was incredibly attentive to my needs, making sure the final product truly reflected who I am, my values, and what I wanted to communicate. The result went beyond my expectations. It's not only beautiful and professional but also perfectly aligned with my vision. I've received nothing but compliments from my clients about the site!
