Web agencies or web design and development agencies help companies and individuals to design and develop websites (showcase sites, e-commerce sites, intranets, etc.) or all types of web and mobile applications.

These web and digital experts thus enable many companies and individuals to develop their image and brand.

They can also accompany on the design: creation of graphic identity, logo, graphic charter or even on printed or "print" media (business cards, letterhead, kakemono...).

Composed of several complementary profiles, web agencies can take on larger projects than what a single individual could achieve (for example a freelancer who is an expert in full-stack JavaScript development) by distributing the workload among several experts.

By entrusting your project to create a website or mobile or web application to a web agency, you also limit the risk of failure of the person in charge of your project, since the agency has several profiles that can take over in the event of 'unexpected.

SPOILER ALERT: "THE" best web agency in Paris or France does not exist!

If there are many rankings and articles answering the questions of Internet users on questions or queries like "What is the best web agency in France", "Best web development agency in Paris" or "Best design studio", you must keep in mind that the best web agency for your project is not necessarily the best web agency for someone else's project.

The preferred agency of a large CAC 40 group will probably not be able to meet the needs of a 3-person startup in the process of being created, just like an agency specializing in marketing but also offering the creation of websites in no-code (for example by using Wordpress themes or Webflow templates) will not necessarily be able to create a personalized design for you, then develop it to measure, leaving you in control of the content thanks to a Headless CMS.

In your search for a web agency, we recommend that you:

• see if your needs can be met by a generalist web agency or rather by an agency specializing in a particular vertical business or technology

• consult online agency directories, such as Digitiz or Clutch

• look at the websites of web agencies to see if you like their work (whether it's the site itself or the work done for other clients)

• look at Google reviews and the ratings and comments left on platforms specializing in the selection and recommendation of agencies such as the Sortlist or Trustfolio platform

Are you still hesitating to choose the web agency that will design and develop your website or web or mobile application project?
