A web design
studio. Built to go
all the way.

Griffon Noir is a creative director and a developer working side by side. We weigh both our points of view on every decision, from initial scoping to launch. You get a site that speaks to your audience and stands the test of time.

You work with the two people who design and code your site, from strategy to deployment. No project manager stands between you and the work.

our model

An independent brand, design and development studio.

On a typical web project, the designer hands over mockups and the developer discovers them after the fact. You pay for the back-and-forth. Here, Maéva designs and Eric builds on the same project from day one, with written scopes and shared standards.

We start with a written scoping phase: content strategy, site map, technical and functional specifications. Maéva builds on it for the visual benchmark, the design system and the high-fidelity mockups. Eric follows with development, animations and launch. We test the site together, side by side, until delivery.

Eric remains your point of contact for project management and technical matters, from brief to delivery. Maéva steps in as soon as the project involves design. You write to two people, and both of them know your project.
