Coccinet

What Coccinet does

Coccinet is a Paris-based web agency founded in 2004 that designs, develops, and maintains websites, e-commerce platforms, and custom web applications for SMEs, large enterprises, and partner agencies. The agency is organized around three GTM motions: direct project sales to PME and Grands Comptes, white-label subcontracting for event, communication, and design agencies, and standardized WordPress Maintenance subscriptions. Technical delivery is split between Paris (client-facing) and a Tunis engineering office, enabling nearshore economics while preserving French market proximity. The technology stack is built on open-source CMS and e-commerce platforms (WordPress, Drupal, PrestaShop, WooCommerce), with custom development in PHP (Symfony, CodeIgniter), front-ends in Vue.js/React, and integrations into Eudonet CRM, Mailchimp, and Sendinblue.

The firm's product portfolio includes core services (E-commerce Solutions, Site Vitrine, Web Design, SEO/SEA), add-ons (WordPress Maintenance, Hosting, Email Marketing, Audit & Strategy), and a Subcontracting line for partner agencies. Hosting is delivered via a long-running partnership with Safebrands on OpenStack infrastructure in France with a 99.9% uptime SLA. Revenue is generated through project-based pricing for custom builds, professional services fees for SEO and email marketing, managed hosting, and a recently introduced tiered WordPress Maintenance subscription (€69/month annual, €79/month monthly) with transparent multi-site and e-commerce add-on pricing.

The client base is diversified across sectors, including aerospace and defense (Thales Cyber Solutions), travel (TUI/Nouvelles Frontières), food and agri-business (Lesieur/Groupe Avril), telecom and IoT (Sequans), the European Commission (EU Green Week), education (Ensemble scolaire Saint-Georges), and numerous SMBs and non-profits. Multiple relationships span 10-20+ years, indicating high retention. The firm operates as a SARL with €5,000 of registered capital and a 12-person multi-specialist team, with no disclosed funding, M&A, or significant leadership changes.

Others

• PrestaShop (company): Commercial open-source e-commerce platform that Coccinet uses as a core technology stack. Not a direct competitor but a critical ecosystem partner whose product strategy directly affects Coccinet's e-commerce build offerings.
• Wix.com: Cloud-based website builder and DIY platform competing for the same SMB/PME customers that Coccinet serves with custom WordPress/PrestaShop builds. Represents the principal substitution/disruption risk to Coccinet's core creation services.

Direct peers

• 1x1 Internet: French Drupal/WordPress agency serving enterprise and SMB clients with custom development and maintenance services. Closely aligned with Coccinet's open-source CMS service model and white-label subcontracting offering.
• Smile (Smile Open Source Solutions): French open-source web and digital agency with multi-CMS expertise (Drupal, WordPress, Magento/PrestaShop, Symfony) and enterprise client base. Directly comparable to Coccinet in open-source stack and French/European B2B focus, but at much larger scale.
• Kaliop: French digital agency specialized in Drupal and open-source CMS, with offices in France and near-shore locations. Closely comparable to Coccinet on CMS focus, enterprise clients, and bi-location delivery model.
• WP Media: French WordPress-specialized agency offering maintenance, security, and performance services (including WP Rocket). Direct overlap with Coccinet's WordPress maintenance subscription product and SMB target segment.
• TheCodingMachine: French web agency specializing in PHP, Symfony, and complex custom development. Comparable to Coccinet on technical stack and custom development positioning, with similar boutique enterprise focus.

Broad incumbents

• fifty-five (part of AD FAB GROUP): Larger French digital and data agency offering web development, SEO, and digital marketing. Comparable to Coccinet on SEO/SEA and website creation services but at a broader, more enterprise scale with data capabilities Coccinet lacks.
• Capgemini Engineering: Global IT services and digital engineering firm with significant French presence. Comparable on the enterprise custom-development and digital transformation side, though serving accounts orders of magnitude larger than Coccinet's typical engagements.
• Ekino (Publicis Groupe): Large French digital agency owned by Publicis, offering custom development, CMS, and digital transformation. Overlaps with Coccinet's enterprise web build motion but serves much larger accounts with broader service portfolio.
