SiteW (French pronunciation: [sit dublə ve]) is a French company offering a website building service.
History
SiteW was created in the spring of 2007, when Fabien Versange and Cédric Hamel, two computer scientists, were approached by several local businesses in the Auvergne region to design their websites.[2] This common demand in the Auvergne region inspired them to form a company to design a platform which offers websites that are faster, easier and more accessible to individuals.[3]
Hailing from Cantal, in the central region of France, the company was registered at the Chamber of Commerce of Aurillac in January 2008, where they opened their offices in nearby Calvinet before relocating to Cassaniouze after three years, launching their website and online web services a month later.[4] Hundreds of users signed up within the first couple of months and the first companies outside of France made use of the service by September of the same year. In 2011 the German version of the website was released. In 2014 the company upgraded all their website building tools.[5] By 2016 the company had launched over 1.5 million websites for a global customer base spread across 216 countries.[6] On average 600 new websites per day are launched by people using the SiteW services.[citation needed]
