Website design in Pau that attracts customers
The Béarn is home to thousands of small companies and independents losing customers for want of a convincing web presence. Ashenstar designs your site so that it is visible on Google, optimised to convert and built for the Pau economy.
Pau, a market with real potential
Pau is far more than a Pyrenean postcard town. With 80,000 inhabitants and an urban area of 200,000 people, the Béarn capital concentrates a dense economy: business services, professional practices, mountain tourism and subcontractors to the energy industry led by TotalEnergies.
The Pau Béarn chamber of commerce lists more than 6,000 companies in the territory, overwhelmingly very small and mid-sized firms looking to grow locally. Many have a site that no longer reflects how serious their work is.
The Pau Pyrénées Technopole hosts technology companies and startups comfortable with digital. But on the Pau Pyrénées business park, where logistics firms, trades and B2B providers operate, or in the Saragosse quarter with its neighbourhood shops, digital reality often lags behind the ambition of the people running these businesses.
The Pau market also lives a double seasonality. Pyrenean tourism brings new visitors each season who look for a provider on their phone, from skiing in winter to hiking in summer, while the local economy stays active the rest of the year. Being visible on Google at the right moment and in the right area is not a luxury; it is a condition of growth.
The problem
You built your business in Pau with rigour and concrete results. But your site does not show it: dated pages, slow loading on mobile, nothing coming up on Google when a prospect searches for your service. Meanwhile, a better-ranked competitor captures enquiries that should have come to you.
In the Béarn, word of mouth remains a strength, but a recommendation is almost always checked on Google before contact. An ageing site, or one missing from local results, sends a bad signal even to a prospect who is already convinced. That invisible brake is what we come to remove.
Our approach
Ashenstar builds websites for Pau companies that combine professional design, technical performance and local search visibility. We start from your positioning in the Béarn market and your target customers, whether they are trades on the Pau Pyrénées business park, professional practices in the town centre or B2B providers at the Technopole.
Every project includes a local SEO strategy targeted on Pau, the Béarn and the Pyrénées-Atlantiques, so you appear when your prospects search for your service in your area. No generic template: your site is designed from your reality on the ground.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to build my website?
Allow 3 to 6 weeks for a well-designed brochure site, depending on how quickly you can sign off the content. We work to a clear schedule with defined stages so you can follow progress at every phase.
Will I be able to update the site myself?
Yes, we build your site so it stays simple to evolve. We show you how to change your content and, if you would rather, we can keep looking after it for you. The point is that your site remains a living tool, not a frozen shop window.
My business is very local to Pau. Is SEO really useful for me?
Even more than for a national company. Local SEO targets precisely the people searching for your service 'in Pau' or 'in the Béarn'. A tradesperson, a professional practice or a shop in the Saragosse quarter has everything to gain from appearing at the top of Google Maps and in local results.
Does Ashenstar work with companies on the Pau Pyrénées business park or at the Technopole?
Yes, we work with companies across all the business areas of Pau: the Pau Pyrénées park, the Pau Pyrénées Technopole, the Saragosse quarter and the town centre. Whether you are a B2B provider or consumer-facing, we adapt the strategy to your market and your target customers.
How is Pyrenean tourist seasonality built into the web strategy?
We anticipate the search peaks tied to mountain tourism, from skiing in winter to hiking and cycling in summer, to position your site at the right moment. Businesses linked to Béarn tourism get a content strategy calibrated on those seasons, so they capture the flow when it is strongest.
