What cmantika does

Cmantika (legal entity SARL Cmantika Hors-Lignes, share capital €78,420) is a privately held French digital strategy and web development agency founded in 2009 by Jérôme Lesur and headquartered in La Baule-Escoublac, Loire-Atlantique, between Nantes and Rennes. The firm operates an integrated service model spanning Conseil (digital strategy, benchmarking, audit), Design (brand identity, UX/UI), Développement (websites, e-commerce, web applications, mobile applications via Cordova, custom SaaS and software) and ongoing Accompagnement (TMA maintenance, evolutions, SEO/SEA webmarketing, and managed hosting on dedicated French servers with daily backups). Its technical stack is built entirely on open-source CMS and frameworks — WordPress, Drupal, Symfony, Cordova, and PHP/HTML/CSS/JavaScript — and the firm references agile coaching and accessibility compliance (RGAA) as part of its delivery methodology.

The business model combines project-based professional services fees (for website creation, redesign, custom platforms, and brand identity) with recurring revenue from TMA maintenance contracts, hosting, and SEO/SEA retainers. Customer base spans SMBs, mid-market enterprises, and government/public-sector organizations, with named engagements including Groupe Interaction (staffing platform), Fédération Sportive de la Police Nationale (~25,000 licensees across 450 clubs), Espace Domicile/CISN (social housing), Ville de Ploemeur (municipal), and Coophavet (veterinary mobile app). GTM is consultative direct sales, primarily regional (Grand Ouest) with a website lead-capture form offering a 2-hour callback response. The company consolidated through the 2019 acquisitions of communication agency MACHINACOM and web agency HORS LIGNES, and is currently rebranding to ASTRAGA (astraga.fr) while remaining privately held with 1–10 employees.
