A light, fast, custom CMS with no database. Few developers master it, and I am a Certified Kirby Partner.
Kirby is a flat-file CMS. No MySQL, no WordPress, no extra layers. Just structured text files, a clean back office and a readable template system. The result: ultra-fast sites that are easy to deploy and fully custom.
It is my choice for projects that want a lean, fast and durable site. And if your organisation cares about its digital footprint, it is the most consistent tool.
You want a light site that loads in a fraction of a second
Search rankings matter to you, and Google rewards fast, clean sites
You want a super simple admin you can pick up in minutes
You want a site that runs for years without heavy upkeep
I am a Certified Kirby Partner, part of the network of developers and agencies recommended by the team behind the CMS.
I have been building Kirby sites for several years, for nonprofits, businesses and agencies in Belgium, France and across Europe.
See my profile on getkirby.comNo database, few dependencies, very light pages. Each visit uses fewer server resources.
With no SQL query to run, pages are served in a few milliseconds. Core Web Vitals in the green, out of the box.
No database to attack and very few entry points. Waves of automated hacking target mass-market CMSs, not Kirby.
An interface that shows only your content, nothing else. Editing your site becomes a pleasure rather than a chore.
The essentials are built in. I only add a few hand-picked plugins, for SEO or redirect tracking.
Every field is defined precisely. The back office reflects exactly your content structure, nothing more.
From a brand-new site to taking over an existing one, I support you at every step.
From the first sketch to launch, with a Panel shaped around your content. Easy to keep up to date for the people who run it.
Already working with a designer? I turn their Figma mock-ups into a pixel-perfect Kirby site.
Is your site still running on Kirby 2, 3 or 4? I upgrade it to Kirby 5, templates and plugins included, without losing any content.
French, English or other languages. Translations are managed in the Panel, with URLs and SEO for each language.
CRM, newsletter, online payment or a custom API. The site talks to the tools you already use.
European hosting, updates, backups and small changes. I stay on board after launch.
Agency or studio? I can also build your Kirby projects behind the scenes, under your brand. Work together
Nonprofits, businesses and retreats: a few sites I have designed, built or taken over with Kirby.
The redesign of a Normandy therapeutic farm’s website, from Avec Pauline Studio’s carefully crafted mock-ups to a Kirby CMS site that is easy to run day to day.
Site for a mutual-help community for job seekers, with workshops and conversation groups. Development and maintenance.
A nonprofit working towards a more responsible digital world. I maintain their site so it stays fast and up to date.
Site for a family estate in the Rhône valley. Site development.
It is the highest level in Kirby’s partner network. My profile is on getkirby.com.
WordPress is excellent for most projects, and I often recommend it. Kirby shines when lightness is the goal. No database, pages served in a few milliseconds, less maintenance and a smaller attack surface. And if eco-design matters to you, it is the most consistent choice.
Kirby needs very little. Simple hosting is enough, with no database or special configuration, which also keeps the bill down. I work in partnership with Infomaniak in Switzerland and Combell in Belgium, and my maintenance & hosting plans can take care of everything.
Kirby generates light, fast pages, exactly what Google rewards. Clean HTML structure, structured data, sitemap, carefully written titles and descriptions. Accessibility is handled at the same time, semantic markup, contrast, keyboard navigation. Everything is in place at delivery.
Yes. I take over existing Kirby sites, even ones built by someone else. I start with an audit, then upgrade the site to Kirby 5, plugins included, without losing any content.
Yes, regularly. I build Kirby sites for agencies and studios, from their mock-ups and under their brand if needed. See how I work with studios.
As with a custom WordPress site, it depends on the scope. On top of that comes the Kirby licence, paid once per site with no subscription: €99 excl. VAT for small organisations (under €1 million in annual revenue or funding), €349 excl. VAT above that. It includes three years of updates, and the site keeps working afterwards. Nonprofits can get a discounted licence. You get a precise quote after a first chat, with no commitment.
Your content is readable text files, with no proprietary lock. Any PHP dev can take over. The files are versionable on Git, so the whole history is kept.
Tell me about your project in a few lines. I'll get back to you within 24h with a first direction, and tell you honestly whether Kirby is the right choice. No strings attached.
