What E-2LYS does

E-2LYS is a private Parisian web agency founded in 2011 by Elyes Hellara, a former PwC Paris auditor and Head of Internal Audit at Sperian Protection Group. The firm delivers bespoke (sur mesure) digital projects for French and international clients, with core offerings spanning corporate website development (primarily on Drupal, including migrations from Drupal 7/8/9 to 10), e-commerce implementations on PrestaShop, WooCommerce, and Magento, full-stack and mobile application development (Laravel, Vue.js, Flutter, React, Angular), and digital marketing services covering SEO, paid acquisition, email, and social. The agency also provides consulting, digital strategy, graphic charter, and design services, with notable depth in multilingual (up to 5-language) and responsive builds.

The client base is diversified across professional services (GUTKÈS Avocats, W & Associés, Vendôme Expertise Comptable), retail and fashion (Les Toiles Blanches, Just In Case, My Organic Infusion, Leana Trading, Retail Difference), industrial and manufacturing (Hutchinson), healthcare and medical devices (Laboratoires SEBBIN), events and conferences (Forum Invest In Mali, Conférence de la Renaissance, Chaire Supply Chain du Futur with Ecole des Ponts ParisTech), African-market enterprises (Hopscotch Africa), and travel (Plongées de Rêve). Hutchinson and Laboratoires SEBBIN represent the agency's higher-complexity enterprise work, with a custom multi-criteria implant selection application built on Laravel for SEBBIN and a multilingual digital workplace for Hutchinson. The team is approximately 50 experts led by CEO Elyes Hellara, CTO Maher Sakka, and Manager Raja Hizem, headquartered at 259 rue Saint-Honoré in central Paris.

E-2LYS generates revenue through quote-based, project-by-project fees for custom web, e-commerce, and mobile builds, supplemented by recurring webmastering, hosting, maintenance, and digital marketing retainers, plus discrete consulting and strategy engagements. The go-to-market is direct, sales-led, and relationship-driven, with no resellers or channel partners; clients initiate contact via a website form or phone. The firm operates from a single Paris office, with project delivery spanning France, French-speaking Africa, and select international luxury-sector clients. The company is privately held and founder-owned, with no disclosed external institutional investment, no subsidiaries, and no M&A activity in the input data.

Direct peers

• Theodo: Theodo is a Paris-based digital services firm that builds custom web and mobile applications using modern frameworks (Symfony, React, Angular, Flutter) and ships digital products for enterprises and startups. Comparable to E-2LYS on full-stack web/mobile development, French mid-market client base, and direct project-based engagement model.
• Elium: Elium is a Paris-based digital agency offering bespoke web development, e-commerce, and digital marketing services for mid-market and enterprise clients. Its sur-mesure approach and service mix closely mirror E-2LYS's positioning around custom Drupal builds and digital marketing retainers.
• Kaliop: Kaliop is a French digital agency specializing in Drupal, e-commerce, and digital transformation projects for enterprises and public-sector clients across Europe. It overlaps almost entirely with E-2LYS on Drupal-heavy custom development and CMS migration work.
• SQLI (SQLI Group): SQLI is a larger French digital services group focused on digital experience, e-commerce platforms, and connected commerce for major European brands. It competes with E-2LYS in the same French custom web and e-commerce build space but operates at greater scale with broader commerce-engineering capabilities.
• WAX Interactive: WAX Interactive is a French omnichannel and digital experience agency that designs, develops, and operates custom web, e-commerce, and mobile platforms for European brands. Comparable to E-2LYS in service scope (custom web, mobile, marketing) and French enterprise client base.
• Smile (Open Source Solutions): Smile is a French and European open-source digital agency that builds custom web platforms, e-commerce sites, and CMS-based solutions using Drupal, WordPress, and Magento. It is directly comparable to E-2LYS in terms of technology stack (Drupal specialization), service portfolio (custom dev + e-commerce), and French mid-market enterprise client focus.

Broad incumbents

• Accenture Song: Accenture Song is Accenture's digital creative and engineering practice, offering custom web, commerce, and experience design for global brands. It pursues enterprise digital transformation mandates of the kind E-2LYS wins at smaller budgets, often as a downstream partner or substitute.
• Publicis Sapient: Publicis Sapient is the digital transformation arm of Publicis Groupe, delivering large-scale custom web, commerce, and platform engineering for global enterprises. It competes for the same enterprise and large-mid-market RFPs as E-2LYS but with vastly greater scale and global delivery.
• Capgemini Engineering (formerly Altran) / Capgemini Invent: Capgemini is a large French-headquartered IT services and digital transformation group that builds custom digital platforms and commerce solutions for global enterprises. It is an indirect incumbent competitor to E-2LYS in the French mid-market digital build space.
• Isobar / dentsu CX: Isobar is dentsu's global digital experience agency building custom websites, e-commerce platforms, and digital marketing programs for large brands. Its service breadth and digital-marketing-led GTM overlap with E-2LYS's CMS, e-commerce, and digital marketing offerings.
