Simply Design is a WordPress agency based in Geneva, working with businesses across Suisse romande since 2009. We build custom-coded WordPress sites, no Elementor, no Divi, no page builder shortcuts designed from the outset to be found on Google and to turn visitors into enquiries. Over 300 sites delivered in sixteen years, for clinics and aesthetic practices, luxury estate agents, financial advisers, and local small businesses.

You know the feeling. The site has been live for months, sometimes years. It looks reasonably tidy, it wasn’t cheap — and the phone still doesn’t ring any more than before. Nobody has ever quite explained whether the problem is the design, the SEO, or both.
Three scenarios come up again and again before people call us.
The DIY Wix or Squarespace site, built over a weekend with good intentions, that looks exactly like what it is — a site never built with search in mind.
The website delivered by a cut-price agency may look nice on the surface, but it’s invisible on Google and often packed with dodgy plugins that make your site more vulnerable.
The site you can’t touch. Every small change means an invoice, because it was built to keep you dependent rather than to make you self-sufficient.
Every site we build starts from one question: what would actually make a visitor pick up the phone or fill in the form? That changes three things compared with what most businesses have experienced before.
Custom development, not a page builder. Every site is hand-coded on WordPress, without Elementor or Divi weighing it down and limiting what can actually be built. You get a faster, more stable site, without the technical ceiling that budget agencies hit the moment a client asks for anything slightly out of the ordinary.
Copy and SEO from day one, not bolted on afterwards. Content strategy and search optimisation are part of the brief from the first conversation, not an add-on once the design is signed off. For businesses with international clients, the English copy is written by a copywriter — never run through translation software, a shortcut that visitors and Google both notice.
A site you can actually manage. By the time we hand it over, you’ll know how to change a line of text, swap a photo, or publish a news item without waiting on us for every small edit. We do offer an ongoing maintenance plan for clients who’d rather leave the technical side to us — but it’s an option, never a condition buried in the small print.
Whether you need your first professional website, a complete redesign of an outdated online presence, or a fully functional e-commerce store, Simply Design supports you with the right approach for where your business actually is. Every project is treated individually.
A site coded from scratch around your business, not a template with your logo dropped in. Search structure built in from the first sketch, loading speed treated as a priority rather than an afterthought, and an admin panel you can genuinely use once we've handed over the keys.
Core, theme and plugin updates, regular backups, and ongoing monitoring against attempted breaches. WordPress runs a substantial share of the web, which also makes it a frequent target — a site left unattended tends to develop problems within months, not years.
Technical groundwork, content, and internal linking, built so Google understands precisely what your site offers and who to show it to. No promises of a first-page ranking overnight — just a foundation that produces measurable results over time.
Your Google Business Profile properly optimised, pages built around "near me" searches, and consistent business details across the directories that matter. For a tradesperson or a local practice, this is often the fastest lever available.
Campaigns built around searches that genuinely match what you offer, generating enquiries from the moment the site goes live — while organic SEO builds momentum in parallel.
Logo, colour palette, typography, and consistent guidelines across print and digital. A coherent base that stops your website, business cards, and social channels from looking like three different companies.
Copy written to speak to your actual clients, in language they'd use themselves — not filler written to pad out a page. Every line is written with the reader and the search engine in mind at the same time.
