Captusite

What Captusite does

Captusite is a French web agency founded in 2004 and headquartered in Le Coudray near Chartres, with a secondary office in Saint Lys near Toulouse. The company delivers custom digital solutions spanning showcase and institutional websites, e-commerce platforms built on PrestaShop (with 45+ sites delivered to date), mobile applications, interactive digital solutions (web configurators, interactive maps, digital animations), and SEO/SEA marketing services. Its underlying technology stack is conventional LAMP-style web development (PHP/MySQL), augmented by two proprietary assets: CaptusCMS, an in-house content management system providing client autonomy after training, and CaptusEvent, a mobile event-management application launched in 2024 with QR-code-based access control and offline/online scanning modes.

The firm operates as a private SAS (Société par Actions Simplifiée) with €100,000 in share capital, registered in Chartres, and is founder-managed with no disclosed external investors. It employs 1-10 people, 80% of whom are developers, and serves primarily local SMBs, associations, and municipalities in the Eure-et-Loir and Yvelines departments, with 95% of clientele regionally concentrated. The business model is professional services-led: project-based custom quotes for development work, complemented by managed services (hosting/infogérance, support, training) and a result-based SEO pricing structure (€1/day per keyword, billed only on first-page Google rankings). Customer acquisition is sales-led, driven by direct website contact, local networking through French Tech Eurelienne, sponsored community events, and a Sortlist marketplace listing. Strategic partners include OVH (hosting infrastructure) and Lemon Création (graphic design), with no disclosed funding, acquisitions, or external M&A activity.
