About · Les Sables-d'Olonne, France
Agence Zen is a premium web studio founded in 2023 by Valentin Halgand in Les Sables-d'Olonne, Vendée, France. We design custom websites, 100% hand-coded (full code) in Next.js or WordPress, and grow their visibility on Google (SEO, Google Ads) and in AI answers (GEO), for SMBs, professional firms and demanding brands in France, Switzerland and Canada, 100% remote by video call. Websites from €3,200.
Independent studio
Agence Zen is an independent studio, run by its founder. When you entrust us with your project, your point of contact is Valentin Halgand, from the first call to launch. There is no salesperson between you and the person steering your website: every question gets a direct answer, every decision is made with him.
The whole project runs remotely, by video call: strategy workshops, mock-up presentations, approvals and training. The process, the deliverables and the point of contact are the same wherever you are: in Vendée, elsewhere in France, in Switzerland or in Canada.
We work for SMBs, professional firms (lawyers, consultancies, healthcare, real estate) and demanding brands that expect their website to be found, on Google and in AI answers alike, and to turn visitors into clients.
Valentin Halgand, founder, steers every project: scoping, mock-ups, approvals and launch. You always know who to talk to.
No travel needed: workshops, progress reviews and training take place by video call, and are recorded when the package includes it.
No salesperson and no go-between project manager: you deal directly with the founder, from the first call to launch.
