Website creation courses and trainingFor beginners in Geneva

For a professional showcase site (5 to 8 pages) that you then run on your own, allow 15 to 25 hours of one-to-one lessons over 2 to 3 months.

• 3 to 5 hours: setting up the site, choosing the theme, first pages (home, services, contact).
• 8 to 12 hours: design customisation, text, photos, contact form, basic SEO.
• 15 to 25 hours: site live, secured, optimised for Google, and you can update it yourself.

For an online shop (WooCommerce, Shopify), allow 30 to 50 hours. Call 078 238 20 71 and we will assess your project in 10 minutes, free of charge.

All three are viable in Geneva in 2026, and the right choice depends on your profile.

• WordPress and Elementor: the most flexible and the most economical over time (hosting 10 to 30 CHF a month), 40% of the web worldwide. Recommended for most Geneva small businesses, blogs and serious showcase sites.
• Webflow: cleaner, more modern design without touching code, ideal for portfolios and startups. Subscription 14 to 35 USD a month per site.
• Framer: the most fashionable in 2026, excellent for landing pages and startup sites. More limited for e-commerce and long-form content.

For a site meant to last and grow, WordPress remains our default recommendation. Webflow and Framer are excellent choices for more targeted projects.

Full first-year budget for a showcase site in Geneva in 2026:

• Training: 2 100 to 3 500 CHF (15 to 25 hours at 140 CHF).
• .ch domain name: 15 to 25 CHF a year (through Infomaniak or Hostpoint).
• WordPress hosting: 100 to 300 CHF a year (Infomaniak, OVH, Hostinger).
• Premium theme (optional): 60 to 120 CHF, one off.
• Premium plugins (SEO, backup, security): 0 to 200 CHF a year depending on what you need.

That is around 2 300 to 4 000 CHF in the first year, then 150 to 500 CHF a year afterwards to keep your site up to date and secure.

Yes, and it is the norm in 2026. With WordPress and Elementor, or with Webflow, you build your site by visual drag and drop, exactly like in Canva or PowerPoint.

• Not a single line of code to write for a classic showcase site.
• We only touch CSS lightly, for a very fine finish (optional).
• You then update your own text, images and pages, without calling us back.

We systematically favour no-code tools so that you stay independent. Coding brings nothing to 99% of showcase and small business sites in Geneva.

Yes, the basics of SEO are built into our website creation lessons. You learn to:

• Choose the right keywords for your Geneva business (for example plumber Eaux-Vives, osteopath Plainpalais).
• Write titles and descriptions optimised for Google.
• Structure your content with H1, H2 and H3 in a way search engines can read.
• Install Google Search Console and submit your sitemap.
• Optimise your Google Business Profile so you appear in local Geneva results.

For advanced SEO (backlinks, content marketing, deep technical work), we can carry on with dedicated sessions of 3 to 8 extra hours.

Yes. Geneva being international, we build in multilingual management whenever you need it. Two standard approaches in 2026:

• WPML or Polylang (WordPress plugins): flawless manual translations, 50 to 100 CHF a year. Recommended for serious small businesses.
• Weglot or AI machine translation: automatic first translations, then proofreading, 10 to 40 CHF a month. Faster, with variable quality.

Allow 2 to 4 extra hours of lessons to implement a French and English version properly. Then 4 hours for each additional language.

Yes, we regularly support Geneva craftspeople, artists and small businesses with their e-commerce.

• WooCommerce on WordPress: the most flexible and economical, ideal up to 200 products. Allow 25 to 40 hours of training.
• Shopify: simpler to launch, subscription 27 to 299 CHF a month, recommended for medium and large catalogues.
• Wix eCommerce: a good compromise to start quickly on a tight budget.

The course covers getting started, adding products, payment methods (TWINT, PostFinance, Stripe), order management and shipping logistics within Switzerland. We also point you to the tools we have tested ourselves.

A well-built WordPress site needs 1 to 2 hours a month of light maintenance, which is perfectly manageable on your own after our course.

• Updates: WordPress, theme and plugins, in one click every week (2 to 5 min).
• Automatic backups: set up once, they run on their own.
• Adding content: new pages, blog posts, photos, products, without calling us back.

If you would rather hand the maintenance over, we offer a monthly package (80 to 150 CHF) covering updates, backups, security monitoring and 30 min of changes a month. Ask us on 078 238 20 71.

At the end of your website creation course, we give you a personalised certificate of attendance listing the tools covered (WordPress, Figma, Elementor, SEO), the skills you gained and the number of hours completed. It is worth having on your CV, with Geneva employers or when setting up as a freelancer.

Our one-to-one lessons and website creation courses are charged at 140 CHF/hour, with no commitment and no subscription. You decide the pace session by session.

• Travel to your home: included in the Eaux-Vives area, 20 to 100 CHF for other neighbourhoods and municipalities depending on distance.
• Gift cards: 2h (300 CHF), 4h (600 CHF), 8h (1 200 CHF) and 12h (1 800 CHF), valid for 12 months.
• Referrals: recommend someone close to you and receive one free hour of lessons.
• Annual training voucher: if the course serves your working life, you can apply to the State of Geneva for a subsidy, before the course starts.
