Manifesto

The best digital products live at the intersection of rigorous engineering and deliberate design.

We prioritize design in every aspect, ensuring technical excellence with solid architecture and clean code. Trust is built through clear communication and reliable deliverables, as we adapt to your workflow with the right expertise.

What we do

Our partners set the bar. We build to meet it.

REF Digital

We trusted Adrien and Clément with the front-end development of the OFFF Forum website. They were efficient, agile and creative from start to finish, and working with our team was a real pleasure. We delivered a high-quality site on budget, and the result lived up to our expectations. When collaboration is this smooth and the work this well executed, it’s pure joy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Bagage is a creative development studio based in Nantes, France, run by two developers. We partner with creative teams, from design studios to agencies, to build websites and digital experiences that feel as good as they look.

No, and that’s on purpose. We work with designers, not instead of them. We do have a sharp eye for design though, and we’ve always believed developers belong in the creative process from day one, not just at handoff. Being involved early means better ideas, fewer surprises, and a final build that stays true to the design. If you need a design team, we’re happy to introduce you to studios we trust.

We choose the tools for the project, not the other way around. More than ever, what matters is the result and the experience it creates, for your client and for the people using it. Our usual stack is Astro, Nuxt or Next.js, paired with a headless CMS like DatoCMS, Storyblok, Sanity or Strapi. And we’re fluent in the libraries behind today’s most creative websites, from GSAP to WebGL and WebGPU.

We work remotely with teams in France, across Europe and beyond, in English or French. We join your project as part of the team: shared Slack and Figma, regular check-ins, and direct conversations with your designers. That last part is our favorite. We do our best work with passionate designers who care about the details as much as we do.

Yes. For a complete project, we bring in design and strategy partners from our network, studios we’ve already shipped work with, so you get one team that already knows how to work together. We also work alongside in-house teams who have design covered and need development support.

Every project is different, so we don’t sell packages. Most of our projects range from €5k to €30k, depending on scope, complexity and timeline. After a first call about your project and ambitions, we send a detailed estimate so you know exactly where the budget goes.

Most of our projects take between 4 and 16 weeks, from kick-off to launch. Smaller sites or campaign pages can move faster, and complex builds take longer. We agree on a clear timeline at the start and keep you posted on every step.
