Who we are
Navigating the web,
one project at a time
Avel - meaning "wind" in Breton - was born from a love of the sea and a passion for digital craft. Based in Brittany, we bring the same clarity, force, and direction of a coastal wind to every project we touch.
We are a small, dedicated studio that works closely with ambitious businesses and entrepreneurs who want a digital presence as strong as the tides. No large agencies, no templates - just thoughtful, custom-built work.
- Purpose-driven design
- Clean, maintainable code
- Performance obsessed
- Transparent process
- Long-term partnerships
- Mobile-first approach
Eco-conscious approach
Web projects with lower impact
We design websites with performance and sustainability in mind, to reduce digital footprint without sacrificing quality.
Lean interfaces
We avoid unnecessary visual weight and ship clear, useful interfaces that load faster.
Performance by default
Faster pages consume fewer resources and improve user experience, SEO, and energy efficiency.
Responsible hosting choices
We guide infrastructure decisions toward efficient setups and right-sized services.
Long-term maintainability
Clean architecture and durable code reduce rebuilds, waste, and technical debt over time.

Testimonials
Heard from the harbor
“Raphaël is remarkably efficient. He adapted to every request, even the most far-fetched ones, and stayed motivated throughout. He communicates very well in all circumstances, and takes a genuine interest in your project. I trust Raphaël with my eyes closed, and I thank him again!”

On top of his technical skills in development and IT, he has a real sense of client service, which lets him carry projects efficiently from end to end (technically AND functionally).
