What Acti does

Acti is an independent French digital agency (agence digitale 360°) founded in Lyon in 1998 by two former Handicap International professionals, with a founding commitment to e-accessibility that has remained central to its positioning. The company operates as a SAS with €52,850 share capital from headquarters at 289 rue Garibaldi, Lyon, with a secondary office on Boulevard Haussmann in Paris. It reports 150 active clients and more than 1,000 projects delivered across a cumulative 639-client base spanning 1998 to 2026. Customer segments span enterprise (CNR, Vilmorin, Fermob, Banque Saint Olive, Canson Infinity, Institut Paul Bocuse, MEDEF Lyon-Rhône), public institutions and associations (Mairie du Péage-de-Roussillon, ARALL, Itinova), and niche startups (LinkHospi).

The agency's core technology stack combines WordPress and Sylius for front-end web and e-commerce delivery, a proprietary PHP MVC framework for back-end development, and ecological web hosting from a Green Data Center in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes operational since 2012, delivering measurable sustainability metrics (EcoIndex C rating, 1.6g CO2 per visit). Service offerings are organized as Vision Consulting (strategy), Vision Studio Web (creation), Vision Performance Digitale (SEO/SEA/SMA with an emerging GEO/AI offering), Vision Social Media (delivered via partner agency NAGA), and Vision Médiatisation, supported by hosting, maintenance, and e-accessibility/eco-design practices aligned with RGAA, RGESN, Opquast, and Green IT frameworks.

Acti's revenue model rests on professional services fees for project-based engagements and multi-year retainer contracts, supplemented by recurring hosting revenue from its Green Data Center. The go-to-market is sales-led and consultative, anchored by content marketing (blog, 53 published case studies), direct website inquiries, and in-person meetings, with a stated average client relationship exceeding 10 years. No public pricing, revenue figures, or external funding are disclosed; financial stability is attested via voluntary Banque de France balance sheet filings.
