What Makes Us Different
We’re not another WordPress shop promising "fast" sites. Oui Digital specializes in high-performance, hand-coded websites for small businesses, built to load instantly, stay secure, and require minimal maintenance.
-
14-Day Turnaround
Most agencies take 6–12 weeks. We typically deliver production-ready sites in 2 weeks, with a clear timeline and fast feedback loops.
-
Enterprise-Level Experience
I’ve worked on Nokia’s website while at Wunderman and spent 6 years as a lead developer at Siege Media (an Inc. 5000 company, six years running). Now I bring those same performance-first standards to San Diego small businesses—without the big-agency price tag.
-
True Bilingual Support
As a native French speaker, I provide genuine bilingual French/English sites—not Google Translate, but culturally adapted content that resonates with both audiences. Perfect for businesses targeting international markets. Spanish is also possible with client-provided copy.
-
Zero WordPress Maintenance
No plugins to update. No security patches. No emergency fixes when something breaks at 2am. Your site just works, month after month, year after year.
-
-
Predictable Monthly Cost
No surprise bills. No hidden fees. No premium plugins to buy. $225-$499/month includes hosting, updates, security monitoring, and ongoing content changes.
-
Local San Diego Partner
Available for face-to-face meetings in San Diego. Understand the local market, local SEO, and what San Diego customers expect. We're not an overseas agency or a faceless platform.
-
Measurable Performance
We build for Core Web Vitals and Lighthouse performance from day one. You’ll get measurable benchmarks at launch (Lighthouse, CWV targets, and real-device testing where possible).
-
Email-Based Updates
For most clients, email-based updates are simpler than logging into a CMS. If you prefer a CMS, we can also offer a lightweight editing workflow depending on your needs.

Marvellous Job
My website was quite old and needed to be fully renewed to match modern requirements such as responsive design, GDPR compliance, security (https), and future plans. Oui Digital did a marvellous job. Xavier understood my needs, fully respected the spirit of the original site, and carefully took all my remarks and wishes into consideration. Thank you Oui Digital for this amazing work!
- ★★★★★
Beyond My Expectations
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! I highly recommend working with him—you won't be disappointed!

Everything You Need to Know About Our Packages
-
How much do your web design packages cost?
Our monthly packages start at $225/month for Starter (up to 5 pages), $349/month for Growth (up to 10 pages + blog), and $499/month for Pro (up to 20 pages + strategic SEO + scheduling). All plans include design, hosting, security monitoring, and ongoing content updates. No upfront cost, no setup fee.
-
What's included in the monthly subscription?
Your plan includes custom design and development, hosting, SSL certificate, security monitoring, and ongoing content update requests (within reason). You never have to log into a CMS or manage technical details — just email us changes and we handle them within 24-48 hours. A full site redesign is also included after 3 years.
-
Is there a setup fee or long-term contract?
No setup fee and no upfront cost. Each plan starts with a 12-month commitment so we can recoup the build investment — after that, you roll into a simple month-to-month relationship and can cancel with 30 days notice.
-
What's the difference between the Starter, Growth, and Pro packages?
Starter ($225/mo): up to 5 pages, ideal for a clean, professional service or brochure site. Growth ($349/mo): up to 10 pages with a blog and priority support, best for businesses that publish content. Pro ($499/mo): up to 20 pages with strategic SEO, design edits, and booking/scheduling, built for businesses investing seriously in organic growth. All plans include hosting, updates, and security.
-
Can I get a custom website without a large upfront payment?
Yes — that's the point of our subscription model. There's no upfront build fee. You pay monthly, and we handle design, development, hosting, and ongoing updates. If you cancel, we turn off hosting and you don't retain the hosted build. This makes professional custom web design accessible without a $5,000–$15,000 upfront invoice.
-
Do you offer one-time flat-rate builds instead of a subscription?
Yes. For businesses that prefer to own their site outright, we offer flat-rate custom builds starting at $4,800 — plus approximately $40/month for hosting. You receive the code and assets, along with 30 days of post-launch support. This option works well for businesses with an internal team or those who prefer to manage updates independently.
-
What's included in your monthly web design plans?
Each plan bundles custom design, development, hosting, and ongoing updates into one monthly fee starting at $225 — no large upfront invoice, no separate hosting bill. For businesses that prefer to own the site outright, flat-rate custom builds start at $4,800 and include 30 days of post-launch support plus the full code and asset package. Pricing is quoted upfront with no hidden costs.
-
Can I upgrade my package as my business grows?
Yes. You can move from Starter to Growth or Pro as your needs change. Upgrades take effect at the start of your next billing cycle. If you need pages beyond your plan's limit, we can add them for $100–$150 per page depending on your plan.
