FAQ

What is SPIP and is it still a good choice today?

SPIP is a free, robust content management system (CMS) well known for editorial, non-profit and institutional websites. It remains relevant: stable, secure and well suited to multilingual publishing and fine-grained management of sections and authors. For an existing SPIP site, modernizing it is often more cost-effective than a full rebuild.

Should I migrate my SPIP site to WordPress?

Not necessarily. If your SPIP site meets your needs, we can revamp it, secure it and make it responsive without rebuilding everything. If your needs have changed (online store, new features), we assess the best option with you — staying on SPIP or migrating — based on your budget and goals.

Can you update and secure an existing SPIP site?

Yes. We update SPIP and its plugins, fix security vulnerabilities, optimize speed and make the site mobile-friendly. As SPIP specialists for 10 years, we work on sites of all sizes.

Will the site be responsive and well referenced?

Yes. All our sites follow W3C standards, adapt to every screen, and are optimized for search engines (Google, Bing…) as well as for referencing by artificial intelligence (generative AI).

Do you offer training and support?

Yes. We provide documentation and training so you and your colleagues can update the site independently, plus ongoing support as needed.

How much does a SPIP redesign or upgrade cost?

The cost depends on the scope (redesign, migration, new features): every project is custom. Contact us for a free estimate tailored to your site and goals.
