For further information, do not hesitate to contact us at press@sitew.com
The SiteW beautiful venture and economic success allowed it to be nominated and to receive awards and trophies that rewarded the company for its exemplary and inspiring history for local business owners and beyond.
On several occasions, the work of the SiteW small team was rewarded as part of local contests. Everyone has shaped year after year SiteW.com to make the tool as it is now: an online service allowing everybody to create their own website without any technical knowledge. Thereby, nominations, awards, trophies and video reports lead to a certain professional and media acknowledgement and recognize the reliability of the experience of the company.
The idea of creating SiteW was born in spring 2007.
Web tech passionates, we were regularly contacted by friends and relatives to create small websites: associations, guest houses, shops, tradesmen...
They had a limited budget and could not afford to call on web design companies.
On the other hand, they did not have the technical knowledge to create their websites by themselves.
The ideal tool would be an online service
allowing everybody to create and to manage websites by themselves
without any technical knowledge!
This is how SiteW was born! Now, private individuals use social networks to tell their daily life and companies have their website created with SiteW to show their activity and their products.
In 2007, when SiteW was established, the founders decided to set up their start-up in a rural area! In an idyllic work environment, favourable for experimentation, the web company turns to sustainable development and is engaged in numerous local projects.
It is possible to dare digital technology and to be successful in rural territory. The French senator Bernard Delcros chose SiteW to illustrate his argument in front of the media.

Professional or event websites...
Hundreds of thousands of websites have been created through the world with SiteW.
A small team of 6 people invents the future web tools and spoils thousands of users each month! Our magic potion? Passion of course...
Fabien, the SiteW co-founder, runs the company. As agile methodologies fan, he unites his team with a single rallying cry: scrum! His keywords? Disruption, pragmatism and conviviality.
Cédric, the SiteW co-founder, oversees the technical and trade parts. For him, no challenge is too hard, he solves all the problems! With Cédric, be daring is easy.
Maxime joined SiteW in 2012 and since then, each project is executed with him. Thanks to our key developer and essential designer, SiteW works well and is beautiful!
When he was graduated from an engineering school, there were only 130 websites in the world! Now, Philippe animates the SiteW user community and makes it grow through the world.
Vincent was such a talented trainee that the company hired him when he was graduated. Each day, Vincent perfects new lines of code for SiteW.
With Anaïs and her degree in applied foreign languages, SiteW is perfectly polyglot. Her openness to foreign cultures is an advantage for the international development!
The reputation for excellence of the SiteW technical support is undeniable but, who handles it? It is the whole team!
