Give visitors a feel for your activities, help them choose a suitable outing and make it easy to get in touch. I build and redesign websites for activity providers, guides and tourism businesses, with particular care for mobile use and everyday content updates.

I know the work behind the outing.
Before becoming a web developer, I was a climbing and canyoning instructor and founded La Maison du Canyoning, an outdoor activity business in the Verdon. I also designed its website. That experience helps me discuss the practical details with you: who an outing suits, what participants need to know and how enquiries reach your team. I’ve worked independently through 3W Création since 2010.
Help visitors plan their day outdoors.
The website should answer the questions people ask before choosing an activity, then give your team a straightforward way to keep that information current.
01
Make each activity easy to understand
We can organise your outings by activity, area or level, with clear information about duration, suitability, equipment and meeting points. Photographs show the setting, while the practical details help visitors choose.
02
Keep your information up to date
An administration interface lets your team edit the content agreed in the brief, such as activity descriptions, prices, photos and seasonal information. If you welcome international visitors, we can also plan separate language versions.
03
Connect the visit to an enquiry or booking
A phone call, an enquiry or an existing booking service: we choose the next step around the way you work. Online deposits and links to external tools can be assessed as part of the project, according to the services you already use.
Projects rooted in the outdoors.
Different businesses and technical choices, with concrete examples of activity catalogues, content management and online payments.

An activity catalogue with a tailored administration interface. Comparison pages are generated from the activity information, keeping them in step with the catalogue.
Whether you are starting from scratch or updating an existing site, we agree on the scope and review the work together before launch.
01
Start with your activities
We review your audience, catalogue, existing website and booking arrangements. Your priorities and seasonal calendar help define the scope, estimate and target dates.
02
Shape the content and build
We organise the pages around your activities and practical information, then develop the interface and content tools. You review the work at agreed stages with your own text and photographs.
03
Check, launch and hand over
We check the agreed features, mobile layouts, keyboard navigation and technical SEO before publication. The handover covers content updates, with maintenance and later changes discussed according to your needs.
Planning your website.
Can you improve my existing website?
Yes. We can start by reviewing the current site, its content and the tools your team uses. That helps establish whether a focused improvement or a broader redesign is the right scope.
Can I keep my booking system?
We can assess that first. Depending on what the service supports, the website may link to it or integrate it more closely. We confirm what is possible before including it in the estimate.
Can the website serve visitors in several languages?
Yes. We can plan language versions with their own pages, navigation and search metadata. We agree which languages you need and who will provide and maintain the translated content.
Do you only work with businesses in the Verdon?
I’m based in Saint-André-les-Alpes and work remotely with businesses elsewhere too. La Maison du Plein Air, in the Gorges du Tarn, is one example. Tell me where you operate and what you need.
Tell me about your activities.
Send your current website, the activities you offer and what you would like to improve. Your booking tools and target launch date are useful starting points too.
