The questions we actually get asked.

Always in the same order: a scoping phase where we define scope, priorities and price together; the design of flows and screens; development, with regular check-ins; testing; launch. Everything is done in-house by the same team, and you have one direct contact from start to finish.

It depends on the scope — and the scope is fixed during scoping, not discovered along the way. The most concrete benchmark: our MVP offer delivers a complete, usable product in 30 days. A showcase site can be faster; a richer business application takes several months, in planned stages.

Yes, on one condition: the scope is frozen before we start. Week 1, scoping and design; weeks 2 and 3, development; week 4, testing and launch. What comes out is a real product, live, usable by real users — not a mockup. Anything that does not fit inside the 30 days is priced separately, and comes after.

Nothing is required: your idea and your business reality are enough. Examples of sites you like, known constraints or an existing system to take over all help — but turning all that into a clear scope is exactly what the scoping phase is for.

In Brussels. We work with SMEs all over Belgium: on site when meeting in person actually serves the project, remotely the rest of the time — being close is a matter of availability, not kilometres. Our two working languages are French and English, and multilingual sites are routine: La Marquisette is trilingual, this one exists in French and English.

Yes — and it works because the scope is frozen before we start: scoping defines precisely what will be delivered, and the price matches that scope. If a new idea appears mid-project, it is priced separately and you decide whether to add it — the initial price does not change.

A freelancer is often the right call for a well-scoped job that needs a single skill. A team becomes useful when design, development and deployment move in parallel, and when someone still has to be there in two years. HARGILE is an independent studio: one direct contact like a freelancer, a team behind it to ship and maintain.

You do. Code and data are yours on delivery: you can host elsewhere, hand the next step to another team, or keep going with us. You stay by choice, never out of necessity.

WordPress makes sense for publishing content on a tight budget. Custom becomes the right choice when your site has to do something: booking, selling, business processes — or when a generic theme holds your image back. Ecole du Bonheur came with a generic WordPress; we turned it into a digital experience worthy of its project.

We do, if you want us to — the site is not left on its own: we maintain what we ship, updates, security and evolutions. Maintenance is offered separately, with no obligation: since you own the code, you remain free to entrust it to whomever you want.

The foundations, yes, always: clean structure, speed, structured data, machine-readable content — everything that makes a site able to rank well. The ongoing visibility work (content, rank tracking, AI citations) is what our dedicated SEO offer is for.

When it changes the outcome: automating repetitive tasks, smart search, making your data work. And when it adds nothing to your case, we tell you — an AI integration must justify itself with a measurable result, not with a trend.
