The client comes for the website, then discovers they can also get custom software, hosting, and AI from the same team. + +**Target client:** SMB founders whose current website doesn't represent their business well. + +**Tone:** Conversational yet polished — confident and warm, not stiff or fluffy. Light technical credibility signals, not jargon-heavy. + +**Hierarchy:** +1. Web design & development (leads) +2. Custom software (extends) +3. Hosting & infrastructure (supports, positioned as differentiator not lead) +4. AI (prominent, practical, honest about capabilities) + +**Geographic references:** Remove ALL Côte d'Azur / French Riviera references.
