3 services, 3 needs.

SMEs and SaaS companies need to decide what to build, then build it. Online brands need to sell. And every business needs a website it owns. The same method throughout: a written scope, numbers we track, one person to talk to.

Product and web applications

The product manager you can't yet justify hiring full time. I turn a vague need into an executable scope, hold the delivery rhythm, and build the application myself when that is the fastest route.

  • Fixed-price scoping
  • Specs, epics and user stories
  • Delivery run on Linear
  • Custom web applications
  • LLM and MCP advisory

Background

8 years shipping, not pitching.

I started out building online stores for small businesses. Today I lead products in-house at a B2B SaaS company and take on product and web projects at a fixed price. The two jobs feed each other: I know what a sloppy scope costs, because I'm also the one who takes it to production.

Three commitments

What you can hold me to.

Not values on a page: three commitments written into the quote, verifiable during the engagement, and enforceable at the end.

The trade-offs are written down, and they cut

A scope document listing everything you will do is worthless. Mine lists what you will not do, and why: which feature moves to v2, which edge case stays manual, which request costs more than it will ever return. That document is what stops the roadmap being rewritten every month.

The deadline is in the quote, not in an estimate

A written scope within 48 hours of the call, a marketing site live in one to three weeks, a demo at the end of every one-to-two-week cycle. If I slip, you see it at the next cycle rather than at delivery, and you can stop there, with no penalty.

On a store, we talk conversion, not mockups

A checkout flow is judged on three numbers: add-to-cart rate, checkout abandonment, average order value. We measure them before, decide changes on that basis, and read them again after. A redesign that moves none of the three has produced nothing, however good it looks.

Who I work with

3 contexts, one blocking point.

I don't work with everyone. These three situations are where I add the most, because I have lived both sides of them: the one who sets the scope and the one who takes it to production.

SMEs · 10 to 200 people

A business process still running on spreadsheets and email

You know exactly where it hurts, nobody has time to write it down, and the agency quotes you have received so far price a scope that was never defined. We start by writing that scope, not by building.

SaaS companies and startups

A solid engineering team, a roadmap rewritten every month

You can't yet justify a full-time product manager, and what's missing isn't more specs: it's someone to make the calls, hold them over time, and leave the team self-sufficient.

Retailers, makers and brands

A store that sells, but loses people on the way

Or a site rented from a platform you want to leave without losing your search rankings. Success is measured on conversion and on owning your own site, not on another aesthetic refresh.

What I am not the right person for. Development alone, as extra hands on a backlog written by someone else. Pure graphic design. Full-time on-site work. AI promises that do not hold up in production.

Shopify

Where it started, and still every week.

Shopify has been part of my work since 2017: more than 160 stores built or taken over, from a first launch to a full migration off PrestaShop. A store is judged on three numbers (add-to-cart rate, checkout abandonment, average order value), not on how the mockup looks.

We worked with Pascal on the migration and redesign of our website. Pascal did an excellent job and made himself available throughout the project. He is very clear and concise in what he undertakes. We recommend him!

Pascal set up my store in record time. When I struggled to understand how to update it, he took the time to record a video and showed me in a few minutes how to get unstuck.

How it runs

Write the product before coding it.

The first half of the engagement produces documents, not screens, and you can stop at the end of it.

  1. 01

    Discovery call

    15 to 45 minutes, free. You leave with a written summary and a go / no-go, including “an off-the-shelf tool would do better” when that's the honest answer.

  2. 02

    Written specification

    Screens, data model, journeys, edge cases, and what will not be built.

  3. 03

    Figma prototype

    A clickable journey with every state planned. The source file is yours.

  4. 04

    Backlog on Linear

    Epics and tickets with acceptance criteria, readable by you and your team at any time.

  5. 05

    Delivery in cycles

    One to two weeks each, with a deployed preview at the end. You redirect as you go.

  6. 06

    Production and handover

    Your infrastructure, your repository, written docs and a recorded walkthrough.

FAQ

Before we start.

Do you work in English?

Yes. Calls, written scopes, specifications, documentation and code comments can all be in English. Day-to-day I work in both languages: French with clients in France, English with teams elsewhere in Europe. Client reviews on this page are translated because the originals are French.

Where are you, and how do we work together?

Lyon, France, Central European Time. Most engagements are fully remote, with a video call at the end of each cycle and a board you can read at any time. On-site work is possible in Lyon and, case by case, elsewhere with a travel surcharge.

Who owns the code?

You do. The code lands in your own repository from day one, in a standard stack any developer can pick up. Source files, documentation and access are handed over at the end, along with a recorded walkthrough. There is no mandatory maintenance contract: if you come back, it's because you want to.

Do you use AI to produce deliverables?

Yes, daily, and I don't hide it: that is what makes it possible to ship in weeks what used to take months. What it does not change: I review, I test, and I stand behind every line delivered. You receive readable, documented code on your own repository.

How do invoicing and VAT work?

Invoices are issued in euros from France, payable by bank transfer. I operate under the French franchise en base de TVA scheme, so no VAT is charged on my invoices, and none is reclaimable. The amount on the quote is the amount you pay.

What does the first call cover?

Fifteen minutes on context, deadline and budget. If the subject isn't right for me, I say so on that call and point you to someone better placed. It's more profitable for both of us than a quote written to be polite.

Pricing

Every project is quoted, after a first call.

Each service page gives a starting price. The scope sets the final price, and we write the scope together.

  1. A 15-minute callContext, deadline, budget. If I'm not the right person, I say so on that call.
  2. A written proposal within 48 hoursWhat will be built, what will not, the deadline and the price, in English.
  3. No commitment until you signThe call and the proposal are free. Invoices in euros, no VAT charged.
