The essentials
A professional website costs between €1,500 (freelance, simple showcase) and over €100,000 (custom web application), with a market median around €5,200 in France in 2026. At Neodigit, we build Next.js sites designed to turn visitors into customers and to stay readable by Google, Perplexity and ChatGPT, not static showcases forgotten right after launch.
Most agencies sell dressed-up templates. We start from your actual need.
A website isn’t a finished product you buy off the shelf. It’s a conversion tool, a credibility signal, and increasingly, a source of information that generative search engines cite or ignore depending on its factual quality. Before choosing a technology or a design, we seek to understand what your site needs to accomplish: generate quotes, sell online, replace an outdated internal tool, or establish your credibility with prospects comparing you to three competitors before reaching out.
A craftsman in Dijon working with Neodigit saw quote requests increase by 40% in three months thanks to a simplified contact flow and targeted local SEO, with no full redesign or disproportionate budget. That’s the kind of measurable result we systematically aim for, not a site that “looks good” in a demo.

Which platform for your site: WordPress, Next.js or Shopify?
The technical choice determines your cost, your autonomy and your performance ceiling for the next five years.
| Criterion | WordPress | Next.js (custom) | Shopify |
|---|---|---|---|
| Initial cost | Low (€700 - €2,900/year all included) | Higher (€5,000 - €30,000+) | Medium (subscription + theme) |
| Performance (Lighthouse mobile) | ~51% | ~86% | Varies by theme |
| Content autonomy | High (no-code interface) | Requires a developer or a headless CMS | High for the product catalog |
| Technical SEO | Good with plugins, but bloated | Excellent by default (SSR, Core Web Vitals) | Good, limited by the theme |
| Security | Attackers’ top target (43% of the web) | Minimal attack surface | Managed by Shopify |

Our method
- Scoping and content: we clarify the business objective before any mockup. A site with no measurable objective is a site that will never convert.
- Design and wireframing: every screen serves a conversion goal, not just a visual identity.
- Development and integration: Next.js, WordPress or headless depending on your actual context, not our preferences.
- Launch and support: post-launch monitoring, performance measurement, adjustments based on real data.

Proof by example: modernizing without breaking everything
A French retail player with about thirty stores wanted to launch its e-commerce without touching its AS400 logistics system, in place for fifteen years and considered untouchable by its teams. We built an integration layer that syncs stock in real time between the Next.js storefront and the legacy system, without ever modifying the latter.
Results: e-commerce revenue up 40% in 6 months, zero undetected stockouts, legacy system preserved intact, 4.8/5 customer satisfaction.
This project illustrates a common reality: the technical constraint isn’t always the newest technology, but the ability to make the new and the existing coexist without disruption. See all our case studies.
FAQ
Do I still need a website if I’m active on social media?
Yes. An Instagram account or a Facebook page belong to a third-party platform that can change its rules, limit your reach or close your account without notice. A website remains the only digital asset you own and fully control, and it’s also the only channel properly indexed by Google and by generative AI like ChatGPT or Perplexity. Full details on our dedicated page.
WordPress, Shopify or custom development: how do I choose?
WordPress suits tight budgets and non-technical teams who want to manage their own content. Shopify is the go-to for pure e-commerce with no custom development. Custom Next.js becomes relevant as soon as performance, competitive SEO or specific features are critical to your business. See the detailed comparison.
Freelancer or web agency: what’s the difference in price and quality?
A freelancer charges between €300 and €600/day and suits simple projects with a need for flexibility. An agency charges €500 to €1,200/day but brings a multidisciplinary team (design, development, SEO, project management), a proven methodology and long-term support.
