Frequently asked questions.

VD Innovatium is a digital agency based in Lyon, at 88 rue des Docks in the 9th arrondissement (Docks district). We work mainly in Lyon and the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, and also support clients across France.

The agency was founded in 2024 by Vincent Maugars, who leads strategy and projects, and Dorian Szenberg, who heads the technical side. You work directly with the founders, with no sales intermediary.

We support a wide range of organizations: early-stage startups, growing SMEs, mid-caps and large accounts. Our approach adapts to the digital maturity and constraints of each organization.

Yes. We are rooted in Lyon but work remotely with clients across France. We meet over video calls and travel for key project milestones when it helps.

Three main types of work: custom web development (Next.js, React, e-commerce, SaaS, redesign), digital strategy (scoping, technical audit, project ownership assistance, product roadmap) and project support (steering, continuous optimization, growth support).

We work mainly with the modern JavaScript ecosystem (Next.js, React, TypeScript, Node.js) and with PHP/Symfony for robust back-ends, along with WordPress and WooCommerce for e-commerce. We host in France, at Gandi, on open-source Linux VPS — a choice that lets us keep costs down and your data in France. We always choose the stack suited to the project's lifespan rather than the trend of the moment.

Yes. We design and rebuild online stores (WooCommerce or custom solutions), with payment integration (Stripe), conversion-funnel optimization and migration from an existing platform when needed.

Yes, SEO is built in from the design stage: technical structure, performance, structured data (Schema.org), semantic markup, hreflang for multilingual sites and optimization for generative engines (GEO). We also offer editorial support and ranking monitoring.

Yes. Technical takeover is part of our offering: we audit the existing site, identify technical debt and risks, then open a path toward rationalization or progressive redesign. We also maintain platforms we didn't build.

Yes. We stay engaged after launch: corrective and evolutionary maintenance, performance monitoring, security, and long-term support. Our philosophy is to be a partner rather than a provider — we don't like to disappear after delivery.

The budget depends entirely on the scope and type of project. It starts from very small budgets — around €5,000 — and can grow significantly depending on complexity (business platform, advanced e-commerce, custom application). We provide a precise quote after a free first call.

Timelines depend on scope, from a few weeks for a showcase website to a few months for a redesign or a business platform. We work with a collective of freelancers that lets us ensure fast delivery — and in case of urgency, we can mobilize more talent to speed things up.

A freelancer brings one skill; we carry a project end to end. With VD Innovatium you have a single point of contact: behind the scenes we orchestrate a collective of talent (strategy, design, development) to deliver fast and well. You never juggle multiple providers — coordination is our job, not yours.

Our method unfolds in four steps: Understand (audit, listening, scoping), Structure (architecture, action plan), Build (iterative development) then Grow (measurement, optimization and long-term support). We seek to understand before building and to structure before producing.

You have a single point of contact: VD Innovatium. Behind the scenes, we mobilize a carefully selected collective of freelance talent that we steer and coordinate end to end. For you it's completely seamless: you never manage the collective, you only deal with us. That's what lets us put the right talent on every need and deliver faster.
