What is a web design and development agency?

A web design and development agency designs, builds and launches your website: showcase website, online store or custom platform. Web First Rank, a digital agency founded in 2009 in Hammamet, adds from the design stage what makes a site findable: speed, markup, page structure and content in French, Arabic and English.

We start from your need (getting known, selling, automating a task), then we choose the tool, WordPress, WooCommerce, PrestaShop, Shopify, Laravel or Drupal, and not the other way round.

To go further: how much a website costs in Tunisia, organic search (SEO) and visibility in AI engines (GEO).

Which website for which project?

The right question is not “WordPress or custom?”, but “what should my website do?”. Choose your situation: you see the type of website, the tool, the timeframe and what the package includes. The final choice is made after scoping, based on your goals, your volumes, your integrations, your budget and your team.

Timeframes run from the end of scoping. The first cause of delay is the client supplying and approving the content.

A website is judged by its speed

Google sets three thresholds for a good reading experience: loading of the main content, response to clicks and taps, and stability of the page while it displays. We measure these three thresholds on your website, before launch and after, and we fix whatever goes beyond them.

≤2.5 s

Loading of the main content

The largest visible element of the page must appear within 2.5 seconds or less. Google calls it LCP.

≤200 ms

Response to clicks and taps

The page must react within 200 milliseconds or less when someone clicks, taps or types. Google calls it INP.

≤0.1

Page stability

Content must not jump while loading. The shift must stay at 0.1 or less. Google calls it CLS.

Source: web.dev, Core Web Vitals, thresholds recommended by Google, page checked on 9 November 2026. A fast site also helps your visitors on mobile, where Google indexes the mobile version of your pages first.

Does your current website pass these three thresholds? A consultant looks at it with you.

Anatomy of a page ready for Google and for AI

A search engine or an AI assistant does not read your website like a visitor. Here is what we set up on every page, and why. Google states that no special optimisation is required to appear in its AI-generated answers: what matters are the fundamentals below.

  • Title tagA sentence of about 60 characters that announces the subject of the page: Google displays it and assistants read it first.
  • Main heading (H1)One heading per page, saying clearly what the page offers.
  • Citable passageA paragraph of 40 to 60 words that answers a question on its own: this is the one an AI assistant can reuse.
  • Structured dataSchema.org markup that repeats exactly what the page says: service, organisation, author. It is a safeguard, not a promise.
  • One address per languagehreflang tags that link the French, Arabic and English versions, so that each reader arrives in their own language.
  • Internal linksLinks between your pages, with clear anchor text, so that engines and readers understand how they relate.
  • Alt textA description for each image, useful to screen readers and to engines alike.
  • 301 redirectsIn a redesign, a redirect plan that sends each old address to the new one so that existing traffic is not lost.

For measurement and citation by AI engines, see our GEO and AEO agency and our guide to citable passages.

French, Arabic and English from the design stage

Your customers do not search in only one language. We write and optimise each version for its audience, with its own address, and we declare the versions to each other with hreflang. Arabic reads right to left: the layout is designed for that direction from the start, it is not flipped afterwards.

WordPress, WooCommerce, PrestaShop, Shopify, Laravel: when to choose which

No tool is the best in itself. Here is what each does well, and when we suggest it. The choice is made after scoping.

Showcase website

WordPress

Showcase websites, blogs and corporate sites. Flexible and search-friendly. It powers 39.4% of all websites (W3Techs, 9 November 2026).

Choose it if you present your business and want to update your content easily.

Store

WooCommerce

The online store that plugs into WordPress. It suits standard needs and more advanced ones alike.

Choose it if you sell online and want to stay on WordPress.

Store

PrestaShop

A solution designed for stores with a large catalogue and complex pricing rules.

Choose it if your catalogue is large or your pricing rules are complex.

Store

Shopify

A turnkey online store platform, which we set up and customise to your brand.

Choose it if you want to launch a store with a ready-made platform.

Custom

Laravel or Drupal

For complex projects: roles and permissions, high security requirements, integrations with your tools. Laravel to build custom, Drupal for a robust content management system.

Choose it if your need goes beyond what a standard tool can do.

The choice is made after scoping: goals, volumes, integrations, scalability, budget and in-house team. Source for WordPress's share: W3Techs, page accessed on 9 November 2026 (58.1% of sites whose content management system is known).

What a website really costs over three years

The price of creation is only part of the budget. Over three years, a website also costs its domain name, its hosting, its maintenance and, for an online store, payment fees. We detail these items in the quote, work package by work package, so that there are no surprises. Price ranges are in our guide.

  • Once

    Creation

    Design, development, content, testing and launch.

  • Every year

    Domain name

    The address of your website, to be renewed every year.

  • Every year

    Hosting

    Where your website is stored: it partly determines its speed and security.

  • Every month or every year

    Maintenance

    Updates, backups, security and support, depending on the chosen contract.

  • On every sale

    Online payment

    The payment gateway fee, which varies by provider.

  • Ongoing

    Content and SEO

    Writing, ranking tracking and updating of the pages that matter.

For the amounts, read our 2026 price guide to a showcase, online store or custom website in Tunisia. This page does not display them: a price depends on your specification.

Our method: six steps, each with its deliverable

A website project always follows the same order: decide before drawing, draw before developing, check before launching. Each step produces a deliverable that you validate.

  1. Scope

    Goals, personas, audit of the existing site, site structure and keywords.

    Deliverable: the site structure validated with you

  2. Design

    Wireframes, mockups, design system and micro-interactions.

    Deliverable: the validated mockups

  3. Develop

    Responsive integration, performance (images, cache, code) and technical SEO.

    Deliverable: the site in staging

  4. Write

    Writing and optimisation in French, Arabic and English, markup and internal linking.

    Deliverable: the content in each language

  5. Check

    Tests on several devices, accessibility and GDPR compliance.

    Deliverable: signed-off acceptance testing

  6. Launch

    Secure deployment, 301 redirects, Google Analytics 4 and Search Console.

    Deliverable: the live site with its tracking connected

One site, three screens: the same page adapts to the phone, the tablet and the computer.

Your first 12 months: four milestones

At day 7, scoping is complete: you validate the site structure and the keywords. At day 30, a showcase website is in acceptance testing or live; an online store takes 6 to 10 weeks. At day 90, a first review measures speed, indexing and the enquiries received. At month 12, an annual review prepares the following year.

  1. Day 7

    Scoping complete

    Goals, site structure and keywords validated with you before design.

  2. Day 30

    Site in acceptance testing or live

    A showcase website is delivered in 3 to 5 weeks; an online store takes 6 to 10 weeks.

  3. Day 90

    First review

    Speed, indexing by Google and enquiries received are measured, and adjustments are made.

  4. Month 12

    Annual review

    Consolidated results, maintenance for the following year and next developments.

What we promise, and what nobody can promise

No agency can guarantee first place on Google or being cited first by an AI. We commit to what depends on us: a site that aims for Google's speed thresholds, pages that engines understand, a detailed quote, item by item, and a single point of contact from scoping to launch.

Web First Rank is a digital marketing agency founded in 2009 in Hammamet. It has supported 1,000 projects since its creation, in SEO, online advertising, social networks, web creation and video. Discover Aymen Turki, founder, our team and our agency.

What nobody can guarantee

  • Being first on Google or first named by an AI
  • A complete site in 48 hours, without removing anything from scoping, content and testing
  • A very low price without giving up on writing, security or mobile adaptation
  • A detailed quote, item by item

    Each quote is split into work packages, with clear milestones and acceptance criteria.

  • A single point of contact

    One person supports you from scoping to launch: a short circuit, smooth communication.

  • Measured speed thresholds

    Google's three thresholds are measured and gaps are fixed before launch.

  • No figure without the client's agreement

    We publish a result only if it is verifiable and the client has accepted it. No guaranteed position.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to create a professional website?

A showcase website takes 3 to 5 weeks, an online store 6 to 10 weeks. The first cause of delay is the client supplying and approving the content, before the number of pages. A timeframe announced as 48 hours leaves little room for scoping, content and testing.

How much does it cost to create a website in Tunisia?

It depends on the type of website, the number of pages and languages, the features and the integrations. Each quote is detailed work package by work package, with no hidden fees. The 2026 price ranges are in our price guide.

WordPress, WooCommerce, PrestaShop, Shopify or Laravel: which one to choose?

WordPress suits showcase websites, blogs and corporate sites. WooCommerce adds a store to WordPress. PrestaShop serves large catalogues and complex pricing rules. Shopify is a turnkey online store platform. Laravel or Drupal address complex projects. The choice is made after scoping.

Will my website be fast?

We aim for the three thresholds recommended by Google: main content loading in 2.5 seconds or less, response to clicks in 200 milliseconds or less, visual shift of 0.1 or less. We measure them before launch, then after, with lighter images, caching and optimised code.

Will my website rank well on Google?

We build search optimisation in from the design stage: heading structure, markup, speed, internal linking and content written for search intent. We do not guarantee any position: nobody can. See our SEO agency.

Will my website be cited by ChatGPT or Gemini?

Nobody can guarantee it. Google states that no special optimisation is required to appear in its AI-generated answers: what matters are the fundamentals (crawlable pages, useful content, clear passages). We then measure citation with our GEO package.

Do you build the website in French, Arabic and English?

Yes. We write and optimise the website in French, Arabic and English (or more languages), with one address per language and hreflang tags. Arabic is laid out right to left from the design stage.

Which payment methods for my online store?

We integrate local and international payment gateways according to your market and your customers. The exact list is confirmed at scoping, with the cost of each gateway.

Will I lose my traffic when I redesign my website?

Not if the redesign is prepared: we list the existing addresses, set up 301 redirects to the new ones, then check indexing after launch. See our redesign guide.

What happens after launch?

A website must be maintained: updates to the core, themes and plugins, backups, security and support. The exact content and frequency are set in the maintenance contract. We carry out a first review at day 90 and an annual review.

Can you deliver a website in 48 hours or at a very low price?

No, and be wary of agencies that promise it: a complete website needs scoping, content, security and testing. We prefer an honest quote, detailed work package by work package, to a teaser price that removes these steps.

How do I start a project with Web First Rank?
