What KREA3 does

KREA3 is a privately-held French web agency founded in 2010 and headquartered in Pont-Audemer, Normandy. The company specializes in designing and developing websites and digital tools almost exclusively for French local authorities — primarily town halls (mairies), intercommunal structures (communautés de communes), tourism offices, and local associations in the Normandy region. Since inception it has cumulatively served 175+ clients, including 116 town halls, with active marketing coverage of 50+ individual municipalities via dedicated SEO landing pages across the five Normandy departments (Calvados, Manche, Orne, Eure, Seine-Maritime).

Its core commercial offering is the iCommune suite, available in three packaged tiers — iCommune Essentielle (€1,200 one-time / €69 per month), iCommune Connect (€1,800 / €79 per month), and iCommune Plus (€2,500 / €89 per month) — plus a 'Sites sur mesure' (custom) line priced by quote. Subscriptions carry a 5-year commitment and bundle hosting, WordPress security maintenance, support (72h/48h response), staff training, and ongoing accompaniment. The platform is built on WordPress using KREA3's proprietary Wkrea CMS, extended by 16+ purpose-built modules covering digital legal display, event agenda, business directories, interactive cartography, multi-language, staff directory (trombinoscope), Flash Info alerts, contact forms with reCAPTCHA v3, and availability calendars, plus four official integration connectors for Citykomi, PanneauPocket, Service-Public.fr, and Tourinsoft. All solutions are designed to meet French public-sector obligations including RGAA 4.1 accessibility (article L2121-26 CGCT) and RGPD data protection.

Revenue is generated through one-time website creation fees and recurring hosting/maintenance/support subscriptions, distributed exclusively through the krea3.fr website via contact forms, quote requests, and callback CTAs — no resellers, channel partners, or field sales force. The company operates as a micro-entity with 1-10 employees, founder-managed by François Bourgeois (gérant, director of publication, and Data Protection Officer), with €1,500 share capital, no external funding, no acquisitions, and no institutional investors identified in the available sources. Sub-brand product lines (Business Pack, Starter Pack Entreprise, iAssociation) extend the offering to commercial enterprises and associations, though municipalities remain the dominant customer segment.

Revenue model

1. Website Creation - One-Time License: KREA3 sells municipal website creation as a one-time deliverable. Clients pay an upfront acquisition fee for site design, development, setup, and initial training. The site is owned by the client. This model applies to iCommune Essentielle (€1,200), iCommune Connect (€1,800), and iCommune Plus (€2,500), with annual hosting/maintenance fees on top.
2. Subscription - Hosting, Maintenance and Support: Recurring revenue from annual or monthly subscriptions covering premium hosting (high bandwidth, unlimited storage), preventive maintenance, WordPress security updates, corrective actions, 72h response time (48h for urgent), and ongoing accompaniment via email, visio, and phone. This applies to all iCommune tiers (Essentielle: €69/month, Connect: €79/month, Plus: €89/month). Multi-year commitment of 5 years for monthly plans.
3. Custom Website Development: Bespoke website projects priced on quotation (sur devis). These are higher-complexity projects involving 100% original graphic design, specific modules, and advanced functionalities for larger municipalities or intercommunal structures.
4. Professional Email Hosting: Professional email addresses tied to the commune's domain name. iCommune Plus includes creation of up to 5 email addresses with a €5/month hosting fee per address.

Partnerships

Four partnerships are on record, tiered core.

• InfomaniakcoreTechnology or IntegrationInfomaniak is the cloud hosting provider for KREA3's client websites. KREA3's websites are hosted on Infomaniak infrastructure (Infomaniak Network SA, based in Carouge, Switzerland). Infomaniak is described as an eco-responsible hosting provider with high security standards, ISO 27001 certification in progress, and full RGPD compliance. This is a critical infrastructure partnership underpinning all client sites.
• CitykomicoreTechnology or IntegrationCitykomi is a free mobile application for real-time municipal communication to citizens. KREA3 developed an official WordPress connector/plugin that enables municipalities to automatically publish from their website to the Citykomi app without double data entry. Citykomi is noted as a 'normande' (Normandy-based) solution, aligning with KREA3's regional focus.
• PanneauPocketcoreTechnology or IntegrationPanneauPocket is a municipal alert and information app similar to Citykomi. KREA3 is an official technical partner of PanneauPocket and developed the official connector enabling one-click publishing from WordPress to PanneauPocket, plus an integrated widget for displaying alerts on the municipal website.
• Service-public.frcoreTechnology or IntegrationService-public.fr is the official French government portal for administrative information and procedures. KREA3 developed a WordPress extension ('ServicePublic') that integrates co-branded content from service-public.fr onto municipal websites, auto-updated in real time. This helps municipalities fulfill their obligation to provide access to official administrative information.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• PanneauPocket: Municipal alert and information mobile app widely adopted by French communes, and an official KREA3 technology partner. Comparable as an adjacent player in the French municipal communication stack — some municipalities may choose PanneauPocket's app + a simpler website rather than a full iCommune package.
• Citykomi: Normandy-based municipal communication app for real-time citizen alerts. KREA3 has built the official Citykomi WordPress connector, making it both a partner and adjacent player in the same municipal digital ecosystem serving the same Normandy client base.

Broad incumbents

• JVS-Mairistem: Major French vendor of integrated municipal software (accounting, civil registry, citizen portals). Comparable because it serves the same French commune client base with web/digital offerings as part of a broader public-sector suite, directly competing with KREA3's standalone municipal websites.
• Berger-Levrault: Leading French publisher of software for local authorities and public administration, including the Arpège municipal suite. Comparable because it offers municipal websites and citizen engagement tools alongside HR, finance, and civil registry modules — a direct competitor and potential consolidator of niche agencies like KREA3.
• Arpège (by Berger-Levrault): Berger-Levrault's municipal software suite used by thousands of French communes. Comparable because it bundles municipal website and citizen portal capabilities into a larger integrated suite, competing against niche municipal web agencies like KREA3 on procurement simplicity.

Direct peers

• Websourd: French web agency specializing in accessible websites for public and private organizations. Comparable because it serves French public-sector clients with RGAA-compliant websites, mirroring KREA3's accessibility-led value proposition and government-focused positioning.
• Mairie.net: French municipal website provider offering packaged websites specifically designed for town halls. Directly comparable to KREA3's iCommune offering in client segment (mairies), product approach (pre-packaged templates vs. custom), and feature set (agenda, news, legal display, accessibility compliance).
• Iliane (by Nouvelle Donne): French vendor providing municipal website solutions and citizen engagement tools for communes and intercommunalities. Directly comparable to KREA3's iCommune in target customer (mairies, EPCI), feature set (news, agenda, directories), and compliance positioning.
• Citizenweb: French SaaS platform specialized in municipal websites and citizen engagement for mairies and EPCI. Directly comparable to KREA3's iCommune product line in target market (small/medium French communes), regulatory positioning (RGAA/RGPD), and bundled subscription pricing model.

Regional players

• Ideal Connaissances / Idéematic: French publisher of web solutions for tourism offices and local authorities. Comparable because it serves offices de tourisme and collectivités with tourism-focused web platforms, overlapping with KREA3's tourism office segment (8 OT clients) and Tourinsoft syndication capabilities.
