Your website should support your organisation, not just your communication
When a website becomes an everyday tool, expectations change. Private areas, documents, complex forms, access rights, a connection to a CRM, a catalogue or data feeds quickly blur the line between “website” and “application”.

Mapping users and their tasks
We start by mapping the users and the tasks they need to complete. This avoids interfaces designed solely from the administrator’s point of view.
Planning for real-world use
An employee at a computer, a customer on their phone and an administrator handling a hundred requests do not have the same needs. Journeys, checks and information must be adapted to each of these situations.
Quality lies in the details
The quality of a business website is often measured by barely visible details: understandable error messages, a reliable history, consistent permissions, effective search and repetitive tasks kept to a minimum.
What a business website can include
- a secure customer area with documents, orders or ongoing cases;
- multi-step forms with attachments and validation;
- structured quote or appointment requests, routed to the right person;
- a connection to your CRM, invoicing tool or catalogue (APIs and integrations);
- search across a document base or a catalogue;
- several languages, with translated URLs correctly declared to Google.
Start from roles, not screens
For each role, we list the actions to carry out, the information required and the permissions involved. That list becomes the basis for the screens, permissions and tests. It avoids the most common flaw: an interface designed for the administrator and endured by everyone else.
The project then moves forward in testable steps, following our methodology. When the site becomes a real management tool, it enters the realm of the web application; our article on the budget for a custom application helps you gauge the investment.
An example: this website’s multilingual setup
The website you are reading is published in 24 languages. Each language has its own translated URLs, reciprocal hreflang tags and sitemap, and some pages exist only in French. This kind of requirement is decided at the design stage: added afterwards, multilingual support costs far more and often produces duplicate pages.
Frequently asked questions
Business website or web application?
The line depends on the number of logged-in users and the share of day-to-day management. As long as the core is public information with a few private areas, it is a website; when the tool is used to process cases every day, it is an application.
Can WordPress do the job?
For simple private areas, yes, with carefully chosen plugins. For fine-grained permissions and business rules, a foundation such as Symfony remains safer and easier to evolve.
