What we build

Four product families, one studio.

And often two of them in the same project: a website that presents and attracts, an app that serves.

◫
WEBSITES

Professional websites

Showcase site, corporate site, online shop, private client area. Written from scratch, fast, multilingual, built to be found on search engines.

▯
MOBILE

iPhone and Android apps

Ready to be published on Google Play and the App Store — with notifications, payments, offline mode and remote updates. Custom-built in React Native, from design to going live.

⬇
INSTALLABLE WEB

Web apps

The full product in the browser, installable on desktop and phone like an app, without going through the stores. Often the best place to start.

PLATFORMS

Business platforms and marketplaces

Several roles, several rights, several countries: marketplaces, member areas, internal tools, booking, training, complex international products.

Every industry

Apps for every line of business.

The building blocks below — accounts, payments, notifications, dashboards, translation, scheduling, calls — run in production in our own apps. They combine for any industry: a trading app does not have the same screens as a concierge service, but both have accounts, payments, notifications, dashboards and rules to enforce.

Marketplaces Several sellers or providers, each with a profile, a schedule and payments.
Appointments, booking and follow-up Calendar, booking, reminders, client file, history, follow-ups.
White-label audio and video calls Your own call room, inside your app, with no third-party software.
Interpreting and per-minute services Video, live translation and per-minute billing, together.
Automated daily content A new text, audio or image every day, published on its own.
Private communities Member areas, groups, lives, events, moderation.
Recruitment and onboarding Application, questionnaire, interview, documents, charter and contract signed online.
Automation and artificial intelligence Assistants, sorting, summaries, transcription, translation, document generation — under control.

And any sector that needs a tool that does not exist yet.

These are not eight different applications: it is the same foundation, proven on our platforms, dressed for each trade.

REGULATED FIELDS

Finance, health, legal: a strict framework

Some fields follow precise rules, and we respect them from the design stage: data protection, notices and consents, operation logs, separation of roles. A trading tool gives no investment advice and manages no funds; a health tool makes no diagnosis. When a licence or a regulated partner is required, we say so before starting, and we build with them.

Where to start

What you are probably looking for.

Five ways to begin — each explained on its own page, with its frequently asked questions and orders of magnitude.

Our own apps are published on Google Play — Orion Universe, Serena, Ménage Riviera, SDO Media — and SDO Studio itself, available on Google Play: we publish what we build.

Our work

Our platforms in production.

Designed, built and published by the studio, with real users — the best way to show what we can do. All are founded and run by the studio's founder, who operates every day what she builds: the screens below run in real conditions, with real payments and real obligations. They belong to one field, matchmaking and content; the engine that runs them serves all the others.

Orion Universe

Orion Universe

Personal development universe — mobile and web

A daily universe of personal development and well-being: every day a mantra, a card and an affirmation; four subscription pillars — mind and sleep, body and breath, meditation, self-esteem — with a capsule written and voiced each morning, delivered at everyone's local time; a compass of guided paths, collectible boxes, initiations to read, listen to and watch, the universe's radio and TV, and consultations with an artificial intelligence. Mobile app on Google Play, web app, and the whole back office that runs it all.

  • Fresh content every day, written and voiced by AI, reviewed before publication when it is paid
  • Subscriptions with a trial period, one-off purchases, secure payment outside the app
  • Multilingual end to end, prices shown in the local currency, notifications at local time

Serena

Serena

Mobile app and installable web app

A consultation platform with real human guides, designed to be simple: the same product on the phone and in the browser, from a single codebase. Guides are recruited on file, sign a charter and a contract online and are paid automatically; the client picks a guide, asks, the guide accepts, and the consultation opens — in writing, by audio or by video — billed by the minute from a wallet topped up online. Published on Google Play and installable straight from the site.

  • Written, audio and video consultations, with an automatic interpreter between two languages: subtitles and voice
  • Guide schedules and presence, per-minute wallet, packages, referrals, automatic payouts
  • Reviews moderated before publication, reporting, reinforced security, full back office

Our approach

The right product, not the biggest.

A successful digital product is not a pile of features: it is a tool your users understand at once, and that lasts.

1

What it must do, and what it will not

We start from what you want to achieve, and we write together what the product must do — and what it will not do. That saves you from paying for what you do not need.

2

One point of contact, end to end

Design, development, publication and follow-up are all done by the studio. You never have to coordinate several providers.

3

A foundation proven in production

Every project has its own identity and rules, but it rests on foundations already used every day in production. That is what guarantees proven building blocks and schedules that hold, instead of reinventing everything for each project.

Features

What is genuinely useful, nothing more.

Depending on the product, we integrate what serves your business and your users.

  • Payments and subscriptions
  • Booking and schedules
  • Messaging
  • Audio and video calls
  • Notifications
  • Live translation
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Automations
  • Accounts, roles and dashboards
  • Security and authentication
CUSTOM

Every product is different

We only build the features that are genuinely useful to your business and your users. A booking platform does not need video calls; an international platform cannot do without translation.

AI AND AUTOMATION

When it brings real value

When your project calls for it, we can integrate artificial intelligence, translation, voice processing, automation or smart assistance directly into your product — under control, and never in place of a human decision.

International

Your users understand each other, each in their own language.

Translation is not an option bolted onto the app: it is inside, from the first screen to the video call.

IN WRITING

Everyone writes and reads in their own language

  • Screens, menus and emails display in each user's language
  • In messaging, each person writes in their language and reads the other in theirs, translated live
  • Long content — sheets, booklets, notifications — is translated at publication
BY VOICE AND VIDEO

Talking without sharing a language

  • During an audio or video call, what is said is transcribed and translated into live subtitles
  • A voice message is transcribed, then translated for the person receiving it
  • Texts read aloud by a voice are read in the listener's language

Many languages in production today, across Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the Americas — and more on request: the translation engine has no language limit, only the project decides.

Our method

From the first conversation to going live, in five steps.

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

1

Scoping

Your goals, your users, your constraints, your calendar. We write together what the product must do.

2

Design

Visual identity, components, animations, mock-ups of every screen. You see your product before it exists.

3

Development

In delivered, testable stages, never as a black box. Modular, documented code built to last.

4

Going live

Going live, payments in real conditions, legal notices and data protection. You receive a product that works.

5

What comes next

Monitoring, fixes, evolutions, new versions. A product lives; we stay at its side, at a fixed price, project by project, with no subscription.

After delivery: fixed-price interventions, project by project
Budget

Genuinely custom development

A project entrusted to the studio is handled end to end: design, every screen, development and going live. That is what the budget covers.

from €30,000

From €4,500 for a custom website. From €30,000 for an application, installable on phone and computer or published on the stores. Platforms — marketplaces, multi-country products, systems with several roles and several financial flows — start at €100,000, and the price follows the degree of sophistication: it is the complexity of the rules, roles and flows that makes the budget, not the number of screens.

Interventions after delivery are quoted at a fixed price, project by project, with no subscription. Third-party services — hosting, app store accounts, payment, email and SMS delivery, artificial intelligence, translation, calls — are opened in your name and billed directly by their providers: they belong to you, and the studio takes no margin on them.

Frequently asked questions

We explain everything.

Do you only build matchmaking platforms?
No. Our two public projects are in that field because they are our own, but the studio builds for every trade: finance and trading, health, real estate, logistics, retail, training, internal business tools. The building blocks are the same — accounts, payments, real time, documents, dashboards, translation — and every project has its own screens and its own rules.
Do you work anywhere in France, and abroad?
Yes. The studio works remotely, in writing, by phone and by video call, with clients in France and abroad. The products we deliver speak many languages, in writing and by voice, and more on request.
How much does an app or a platform cost?
From €4,500 for a custom website. From €30,000 for an application, installable on phone and computer or published on the stores. Platforms — marketplaces, multi-country products, systems with several roles and several financial flows — start at €100,000, and the price follows the degree of sophistication: it is the complexity of the rules, roles and flows that makes the budget, not the number of screens. Screen design is quoted separately. Every project is priced after study, on its real scope; the exact figure is given in a meeting.
How do payment and follow-up work?
Payment follows the work: 45% on order, 30% during the project, 25% on delivery, by card or bank transfer, each payment being invoiced. The deposit firmly binds the order. Should the project be stopped, the work performed remains due and a termination fee applies. Should the studio stop the project, the sums exceeding the work performed are returned. The contract is signed online. You follow every step in your client space: the study, the mock-ups to validate, development, acceptance testing, delivery. Code, accounts and documentation are handed over at the end, with a three-month warranty.
How long does it take?
A custom website is delivered in a few weeks; a mobile app or a platform is built in delivered, testable stages over several months depending on its size. The calendar is written with you at scoping, and kept.
What does the budget include?
Concept, development and going live, legal notices and data protection. One point of contact, end to end. Screen design (the mock-ups) is quoted separately and added to the price; so are advanced visual effects, the desktop version when it is added to mobile, interventions after delivery, and third-party services. Anything not described in the proposal is not included, in particular: publication on the app stores (Google Play, App Store), audience measurement (Google Analytics, Meta, TikTok or LinkedIn pixels), connection to social networks, search engine optimisation, content writing (texts, photos, videos, translations beyond the planned languages), migration of existing data, training beyond the handover planned at delivery, and advertising campaigns. Each of these is quoted separately, as a fixed-price item.
Who pays for hosting, connected services and artificial intelligence?
You do, directly with each provider: hosting, Google Play and App Store accounts, payment, email and SMS, artificial intelligence, translation, calls. These accounts are opened in your name and at your cost — the studio can open and configure them and publish your app on the stores for you, on quotation; the invoices reach you with no intermediary, and the studio takes no margin. That is what guarantees you own everything.
Do I own my app?
Yes. The delivered product belongs to you: the code, the accounts, the domain name, the stores. You are never dependent on the studio to carry on.
And after going live?
A product lives. Interventions after delivery — fixes, evolutions, new versions — are quoted at a fixed price, project by project, with no subscription and no minimum term, with a contact who knows your product.
Do I need a specification to write to you?
No. A few lines are enough, even without technical vocabulary. If you prefer, ten questions at the bottom of this page guide you, and you receive a first reading of your project within two working days.
Can you take over an existing project?
Yes, by rebuilding it. The studio does not do finishing work and does not complete an app started elsewhere (no-code tool, AI-generated prototype): every application is custom-built from scratch in React Native. We read what exists to understand your needs, then we build the new product.
And to make it known

SDO Media, a complementary activity.

The studio builds your products. To make them known, SDO Media — a separate activity — creates AI-generated content and videos, advertising creatives and Google Ads campaigns.

Let's get started

Let's talk about your project.

How does it work?

Tell us your idea, your goals and the broad lines of your need, even without technical vocabulary. We study your request and come back to you within two working days to decide the best way to continue — in writing, by phone or by video call if it helps the project.
