A web agency in Geneva,
one person at the controls.
Ermite started from one simple idea: your business deserves better than a template bought online. The name says the rest. Working quietly, on few projects at a time, so each one is treated like a craftsman's piece and not like a number.
Vahe Karaman
I am a designer and a developer. I draw, I write, I code, I publish. From the first sketch to the address that opens.

A web agency,
and nothing else.
Ermite Agency is an independent web agency based in Genevafounded and run by Vahe Karaman. It builds websites for shops, tradespeople and small businesses in Geneva, Haute-Savoie and French-speaking Switzerland. One page or several pages, and your site in several languages if you need it. Three sites are already running: an events agency, a language school, a cosmetics brand.
No paid advertising, no social media, no print. One trade only: websites. And when a request falls outside that trade, we say so instead of improvising.
Why that’s an advantage,
not a limit.
No one to repeat yourself to
Elsewhere, what you say on the first call goes to a project manager, then a designer, then a developer. Here, the person listening to you is the one doing the work.
Short lead times
A page goes live in 24 to 48 hours because there is no meeting, no internal sign-off, no waiting between two departments.
A price with no overheads to fund
CHF 400 for one page is possible because there are no offices to pay for, no sales reps, no rented software. You pay for the work, not for the structure.
A limit we own
We do not take on ten projects at once. If the calendar is full, we say so and give you a date. A straight no beats a late delivery.
A few principles,
kept without exception.
Clarity before effect
Everything has to be clear in five seconds. The rest comes after.
Substance drives form
Aesthetics serve the message, never the other way round.
You stay the owner
Your site, your domain, your content. Yours, whatever happens.
We prove before we promise
A real demo rather than a sales pitch.
Where we work.
We come to you in the canton of Geneva — Geneva, Carouge, Lancy, Meyrin, Vernier, Plan-les-Ouates, Versoix — and in Haute-Savoie: Annemasse, Annecy, Thonon-les-Bains, Cluses, Bonneville, Saint-Julien-en-Genevois. Elsewhere in French-speaking Switzerland — Nyon, Lausanne, Vaud, Valais, Fribourg — everything happens by video. Same way of working, same deadlines.
Prices are in Swiss francs, even for a French company in the Geneva area. We work in French, and in English if needed. We can deliver in several languages.
