SDO STUDIO FRANÇAIS

I don't show mockups.
I show two platforms already running.

Websites, web apps, mobile apps and custom platforms — for every industry. Live audio and video calls, per-minute billing, seventeen languages in real time: not promises, but what is working today for real users.

Two platforms live in production

Published, with real users, usable today. It is the only reference that counts.

A platform at this level — live calls, multi-professional payments, real-time translation, hardened security — represents a budget of €450,000 to €700,000 at a traditional agency. That is the scale I work at.

What I build

Five formats. The right one depends on who you need to reach — not on what is fashionable this year. Many projects combine two: a website that brings people in, and an application that serves them.

MOBILE

Android and iPhone apps

Published to the stores, with notifications, payments, offline mode and over-the-air updates. From concept to release, with no middleman.

INSTALLABLE WEB

Web apps that install

The full product in the browser, installable on desktop and phone like a native app — no store, so no commission and no review delay. Serena is the proof.

WEBSITES

Custom websites

Company site, institutional site, online shop, private client area. Hand-written, fast, multilingual, built to be found by search engines — not assembled from a bought template everyone recognises.

PLATFORMS

Platforms and business software

Marketplaces, member areas, CRM, internal tools, booking, training, e-commerce. Multiple roles, multiple permissions, multiple countries.

INFRASTRUCTURE

The engine alone, plugged into yours

Calls, per-minute billing and live translation, integrated into a product that already exists. You keep your app and gain what it could not do.

Website, web app, mobile app: what separates them

Three words used interchangeably, and three very different budgets. Here is how I tell them apart — it stops you paying for something you do not need.

1

A website presents

People read it, learn about you, and get in touch. It is your shop window and your search ranking: it is what Google shows when someone looks for your trade. It can sell (online shop), publish, and speak several languages. What it does not do: handle accounts, roles and complex workflows.

2

A web app works

People log in and do something: book, talk, pay, follow a case, run a team. It lives in the browser, on desktop and phone, and it installs on the home screen like a real app — with no store, so no 15–30% commission, no review, no release delay. It is often the best ratio between what it costs and what it returns, and it is badly known: Serena is the proof.

3

A mobile app accompanies

Installed from Google Play or the App Store, it brings what a browser cannot do as well: notifications that actually arrive, camera, location, fingerprint, offline use, a permanent place on the home screen. The right choice when your users come back every day.

My advice, in most cases: a website to be found and to convince, a web app to serve your users straight away, and the mobile app afterwards, once the usage is proven. It avoids tying up a budget in an app store before you know what people actually want.

What the foundation already does

Every project is designed for its client — its identity, its screens, its rules. But it rests on foundations already proven in production, and that is what makes timelines and budgets possible that building from scratch would not allow.

Calls

Live audio, video and messaging, one to one or in groups, in the browser as well as on a phone. Group rooms, supervision, three-way calls with an interpreter.

Money

Wallets, per-minute billing, subscriptions, commissions, automatic payouts to each professional, refunds, accounting.

Seventeen languages, live

Each person writes and speaks their own language and reads and hears the other's — subtitles included during a call. Your platform becomes international with nothing else to change.

Voice

Transcription, dictation, natural text-to-speech, voice messages, and voice servers that understand what is said and book an appointment.

Security

Personal codes, authenticator apps, fingerprint, magic links, trusted devices, roles and permissions, access logs.

Scheduling

Calendars and rosters across time zones, measured real presence, absences, appointments, automatic reminders and checks.

What keeps a platform alive

Push notifications, emails, in-app alerts, role-based dashboards, content moderation, reviews, referrals, statistics, backups.

Recent technologies

Intelligent assistants and agents, automated conversation, generated images and video, geolocation, QR codes, connections to your existing tools, automation.

Artificial intelligence, where it actually helps

Not as a badge on a brochure: as functions already running, every day, on both of my platforms.

ASSISTANTS

An assistant trained on your documents

It answers your customers or your teams from your own texts, prices and rules — not from what it imagines. Different depending on who is asking, and in seventeen languages. Setup, then a subscription.

VOICE

A switchboard that understands

The caller simply speaks: we transcribe, answer in a natural voice, book the appointment, give a balance, transfer to the right person — including when the caller does not speak your language.

TRANSLATION

Seventeen languages, during the call

Each person writes and speaks their own language and reads and hears the other's, subtitles included. This is the feature that opens international markets with nothing else to change.

WRITING

Transcripts and summaries

A conversation, a meeting, a session: transcribed, summarised, filed. With the right safeguards, because a model left alone invents — here it is framed and checked.

MONITORING

Automatic moderation and detection

Inappropriate messages, doubtful reviews, abnormal behaviour, attempts to bypass the rules: spotted, flagged, and held for a human decision. Never an automatic sanction.

IMAGERY

Generated portraits, avatars and video

Faces that do not exist when a real photo is not appropriate, and videos where an avatar speaks in the person's own voice. Already in production.

My position, and I say it to clients: artificial intelligence prepares, sorts, translates and suggests. It does not decide in a human's place — not a rejection, not a sanction, not a diagnosis. That is what separates a tool you can rely on from a tool that puts you at risk.

Hiring, from application to signed contract

A complete chain, built and proven — the kind of tool a company that hires regularly pays a great deal for, often for far less.

1

The application

One single way in, a file that cannot be incomplete, and rules that block what does not qualify on their own.

2

The interview, written and spoken

Questions asked automatically, answers written and recorded by voice — because thirty seconds of speech shows what a form never will. With analysis and scoring, in the candidate's language.

3

Documents verified

Identity, professional status, qualifications, insurance: uploaded, checked, and flagged when they do not match. You only see what is in order.

4

Contract and code of conduct, signed online

Timestamped signature, version kept, re-signature requested automatically when the text changes. Nobody works without having signed.

5

And afterwards

Real presence measured, rosters, absences, reminders, periodic reviews, warnings and suspensions according to your own rules.

Here too, the machine prepares and the human decides. Automatic screening that rejects a candidate on its own is a legal risk and an injustice; here it ranks, summarises and alerts — the decision stays yours.

Every industry

These are not dozens of different applications: it is the same engine — accounts and roles, scheduling, payment, calls, notifications, documents, dashboards — dressed for each trade. That is what lets me work anywhere without relearning everything.

A demonstration, rather than a sales pitch

Both platforms are accessible, and I can show them working: a call starting, per-minute billing kicking in, a sentence written in French arriving translated and read aloud.

LIVE

Guided demonstration

Half an hour on video, focused on the features that matter to you. The most useful option, and there is no commitment.

AT YOUR OWN PACE

Demo access

A trial account on request, with fictional data, so you can walk through a complete platform yourself before deciding anything.

How I work

Nothing starts with code. Everything starts with what you need to achieve.

1

Scoping

Your goals, your users, your constraints, your timeline. We write down together what the application must do — and, just as importantly, what it will not do.

2

Design

Visual identity, component system, animations, and mockups of every screen. You see your application before it exists. This is quoted separately, because it genuinely shapes the result.

3

Development

In testable stages, never as a black box. The code is modular, documented and built to last: whatever can be configurable will not be hard-coded.

4

Release

Store submission, going live, payments under real conditions, legal notices and data protection. You do not receive a file: you receive an application that works.

5

Afterwards

Monitoring, fixes, new features, new releases. An application is alive; one that is no longer maintained dies within eighteen months.

Budgets

Stated openly, so that we both know straight away whether we are a good match.

Custom applicationStandard feature set, database, accounts, payment from €15,000
Multi-user platformSeveral roles, back office, split payments, automation from €80,000
Premium international platformLive calls, multilingual, multi-country, high volume from €400,000
Custom websitePresentation, online shop, multilingual, search optimisation included on quotation
Design and visual identityQuoted separately: it is the first thing your users will see 15–30% of project
Maintenance and evolutionMonitoring, fixes, new releases, security updates 15–25% per year

These figures are orders of magnitude, not a price list. The actual price depends on what the application must do, and is set after scoping — it may well differ from what was first imagined, in either direction. Payment in three stages: 45% on signature, 30% at the halfway point, 25% on delivery.
