Hosting and domain name
190 € a yearYour site stays online, the domain is renewed, enquiries keep landing in your inbox. Nothing to do, nobody to call.
Bookings, not just visibility
The online presence of wedding and event venues.
Châteaux, estates, manors and halls. I design and look after everything your venue shows online, so that your future clients write to you rather than moving on.
Delivered work
Château de la Valouze, near Bordeaux.
An 1861 château and thirty-four hectares of private parkland at La Roche-Chalais, given over to one event at a time. Its guests come from England, Ireland and the United States, looking for a French estate from abroad.
So the site was built in English first, with French second. Twelve pages in all, the estate’s photographs reworked, and an enquiry form wired straight to his inbox.
20 days
between signature and going live, in both languages, copywriting and photo editing included.
50+
enquiries received through the website in the month after it went live.

The starting point
A venue is chosen on a screen.
For a wedding as for a corporate event, people compare several venues side by side, in the evening, on a phone. They only visit the ones whose website made them want to.
A dated, slow or impersonal site costs visits you will never see and never be able to count. It is the only part of your trade that happens without you. The rest, the welcome, the table, the grounds, you already have in hand.

What I take care of
Four levers, one purpose: bookings.
A site nobody sees is useless, and visibility leading to a dated site is no better. The four work together, and they are put in place in this order.
01
The website
An art direction drawn for your venue, eight to ten pages in French and English, an enquiry form wired to your inbox.
→
02
Search visibility
Being found when someone looks for a venue in your region, without paying for each visit. What is gained stays gained.
→
03
Advertising
On Google when people already look for you, on Instagram and Facebook when they do not yet. For the dates that remain.
→
04
Social media
Your photographs and videos turned into visuals, shown to your future clients in your area, where they spend their evenings.
→
What is included
A bespoke website, delivered in four weeks.
A single payment, no subscription. I tell you the price on the first call.
- A design drawn for your venue
- Eight to ten pages
- French and English, at no extra cost
- Your logo, created if you have none
- Your copy written for you
- An enquiry form
- A photo gallery
- Search foundations built in
- Domain and hosting for the first year
- An email address on your own domain
- Three rounds of changes
- Fifteen days of warranty after going live
The source code is handed over to you and the domain name is registered in your name. You are its sole legal owner, from day one.
And afterwards?
In year two, what do you actually pay?
It is the question everyone has in mind without asking it, because that is usually where the costs hide. Here is the complete list, with no small print.
Changes
90 € eachYou write to me with what you want changed and I take care of it. You only pay for what you ask, and nothing the rest of the time. A venue asks for one or two a year.
Nothing else
0 €No licence, no theme to renew, no update fees, no compulsory subscription. And if you would rather leave, the source code is already yours.
That is 190 € a year, plus the changes you ask for. Nothing more.
How it works
Four milestones, and nothing to install.
No account to create, no interface to learn, no updates to run. All I ask for is your photographs and an hour of your time on the phone.

Going live
Everything in your name
The site belongs to you, the domain is registered in your name, and for fifteen days any fault is fixed at no charge.
Who I am
Tanguy Sturtz, and nobody else.
I take the call, I write the copy, I design the site and I put it online.
More than ten years in digital marketing, and a spell in the events world before that. That is where the speciality comes from: I have seen magnificent venues sit half empty, not because they host badly, but because nobody could find them.
I only work with wedding and event venues. Doing nothing else is what tells me what makes a client ask for a visit, and what holds them back.
More about meWhat people ask
What you want to know before calling.
How much does it cost?
The build price depends on your venue and on what needs doing, and I tell you what it is during the first call. No tier grid to decode. It is a one-off payment, and everything that follows is written on this page: 190 € a year for hosting and the domain name, 90 € per change, nothing else.
How long until the site is live?
Four weeks, from the moment the deposit is paid and you have sent me your photographs and information. The shortest to date has been eight days.
I know nothing about computers.
That is true of most owners I work with, and it changes nothing. There is no account to create and no interface to learn. To change a photograph or a line of text, you write or call, and I take care of it.
I already have a website.
That is the most common case. We look together at what it does on a phone today, and above all at how many enquiries it brings you. If a rebuild is not justified, I will tell you.
What if I want to change something afterwards?
You write to me with what you want changed and I take care of it, at 90 € per change. You only pay for what you ask, and nothing the rest of the time. A venue usually asks for one or two a year: that is precisely why I do not sell a maintenance subscription.
What happens after a year?
I let you know sixty days before the deadline, and you choose. Either you leave hosting and the domain name with me, 190 € a year, and have nothing to do. Or you take it over: the source code has been handed to you, the domain is in your name, several hosts are free, and I explain how.
The first step
Let's talk about your venue.
Twenty minutes on the phone. We look at your online presence, I tell you what I would do in your place, and you do as you wish with it.
