Manifesto

A website is no longer a brochure. A brand is no longer a logo. An agency is no longer the only option. Studjoow was born from one conviction: the same person who thinks, draws, and codes delivers better work, faster, and more honestly than a chain of intermediaries.

Journey

18 years, told in seven milestones.

  1. Training & early experience.

    2007-2010

    An internship at 4 Vents, work-study at Orange France, and time in print production at Realnet. Hands on paper before hands on screens.

    2010

    The launch of my first independent business. First direct clients, first brand identities, first websites.

  3. Costockage + Tous Concernés.

    2014

    Internship and freelance work at Costockage. The beginning of my collaboration with Tous Concernés (disability awareness campaigns), still active twelve years later.

  4. Flojo Agency · co-founded with Flora.

    2016

    Co-founder of Flojo Agency with Flora. Several years working beside her in an agency setting taught me a great deal about how a collective structure really works: team building, process, client management, and strategy.

  5. Parallel projects.

    2021-2024

    Launching Boys Workshop (2021), Pause Feel Good (2023), and co-founding Conte de Faits with Mickaël (2024). Brands, content, and custom Next.js stacks.

  6. Studjoow · back to solo.

    2023

    The decision to return to independence in order to be more responsive, more accessible, and closer to clients. A one-person studio, built with the experience of agency work behind it.

  7. Modern stack · AI · GEO.

    2026

    A full migration to Next.js + Payload CMS + Supabase + AI. Sk:vr (an instant SEO + GEO audit). A published glossary of 395 terms.

Approach

Six convictions, six commitments.

  • 01

    One point of contact.

    From the brief to deployment. No chain of intermediaries, no project manager repeating things, no junior trying to guess. The same person who thinks through the project is the one who codes it.

  • 02

    No limiting no-code.

    Real TypeScript code, deployable anywhere, maintainable by any Next.js developer. No proprietary framework, no lock-in.

  • 03

    100% SEO preservation.

    On redesigns, no rankings are lost. URLs are preserved, 301 redirects are handled cleanly, and Search Console is monitored daily. In many cases, rankings improve thanks to better performance.

  • 04

    GEO built into the code.

    In 2026, being visible on Google is no longer enough. Every Studjoow site is built to be citation-friendly for ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI Overviews. Traditional SEO without GEO means outdated positioning.

  • 05

    High speed-to-quality ratio.

    No agency overhead to feed, no extra margins to cover. A custom Next.js site delivered in 4 to 8 weeks, not 6 months. Pricing is based on value, not on supporting a bloated structure.

  • 06

    Long-term relationships.

    My best collaborations last 8 to 12 years. The studio is built on long-term partnership first. I’d rather have 5 clients who come back than 50 who pass through.

The network

One-person studio, team on demand.

Day to day, it's me from brief to deployment. On large projects, I bring in a carefully selected network of specialists I've worked with for years. You keep a single point of contact: me.

FAQ

The questions I actually get asked.

  • Do you really work alone?

    Yes, for 90% of standard work: creative direction, development, AI, and SEO. For larger projects (complex SaaS platforms, high-volume multilingual sites, ambitious SEO strategies), I also act as project lead and bring in a carefully selected team of specialists: a senior full-stack developer, a designer-illustrator, a photographer, and a partner SEO agency. You still keep a single point of contact (me), a single quote, and a single invoice.

  • How do you manage availability?

    A maximum of three active projects at a time. I don’t take on everything. If I say yes, it means I can deliver within the timeline I gave you. If I’m booked out, I say so and get back to you when a spot opens up.

  • Do you outsource offshore?

    No. All code, all creative work, and all strategy run through me in France and Israel. For very large volumes of work (massive editorial production, custom illustration), I work with selected French or European partners.

  • Why did you leave Flojo Agency?

    No friction, no drama. It was a deliberate decision to return to a more responsive and accessible setup. The agency taught me structure; the studio lets me stay closer to the client.

  • How do you feel about print in 2026?

    Print isn’t dead, it’s become rare, which makes it valuable. A premium business card, carefully produced packaging, a printed brochure: those things still stand out in an ocean of emails. Print design is an integral part of the studio.

  • Do you actually code, or do you just supervise?

    I code. TypeScript, Next.js, React, Tailwind, Payload, Supabase. From brief to deployment. That’s my edge: design and code handled by the same person.

  • Why an international presence?

    A life split between two countries means a double culture and a double network. It broadens perspective, makes international projects easier, and creates useful distance. It’s also part of the studio’s signature.
