What Siides does

Siides is an independent digital creative studio (studio digital créatif) headquartered in Paris, Île-de-France, legally registered as a SARL in Nanterre with share capital of €1,000. Founded in 2021 by Valentin Le Mellay after seven years of independent practice dating to 2014, the firm operates as a collective of partner freelancers rather than a traditional employed team, with stated headcount of 1–10. It delivers five service lines: Direction Artistique & Identité Visuelle (brand identity and graphic universe creation), Design & Développement (custom websites on Webflow or custom code, with UX/UI and CMS integration), Inwink & Plateformes événementielles (specialized event platform deployment and optimization on the Inwink ecosystem), Conseil en stratégie digitale (digital positioning, audit and UX recommendations), and Support, maintenance & communication (ongoing site maintenance and content production).

The underlying technology stack is built on industry-standard tools: Webflow for CMS-driven websites, Figma for design (connected to Google Sheets via an automation system for rapid template-based visual content production), Inwink for event platform delivery, and Google Analytics for audience measurement with GDPR-compliant consent management. Siides holds no patents, has no proprietary AI/ML capabilities, and operates without app store or API products. Its visible differentiator is the Figma-to-Google Sheets automation system that enables rapid, coherent production of dozens of content pieces for high-volume event clients such as Tech.Rocks.

The business model is professional services on a project-based engagement basis with multi-year client relationships; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled via direct contact through phone and email. The go-to-market is sales-led and direct, relying on website CTAs, founder-led LinkedIn presence, and client referrals rather than paid acquisition or intermediary channels. Customer concentration sits with a small set of enterprise clients including Inwink (6+ year partnership), Viva Technology, Tech.Rocks, Bpifrance, and ILKO. Geographic focus is Île-de-France with capability to serve international clients, and the firm is privately held with no institutional investors, parent company, or external ownership stakes.
