Why Web Design Agency Pix Web Chose SiteGround—and Never Looked Back

A testimonial image with a blue gradient background, featuring a quote from Pixweb.fr Web Design Agency: "I was trying to talk with my bank just now and it wasn't instantaneous. I was disappointed because I'm used to SiteGround's standards." The image includes a photo of a man, a website preview, and a rocket icon, with the agency name "pixweb.fr Web Design Agency" at the bottom.

Pix Web is a web design agency that helps businesses grow with websites built to convert. Instead of chasing trends or flashy animations, founder Oscar Rabasse keeps it smart and strategic—focusing on websites that move people through the funnel, spotlight what matters, and drive real action.

To deliver that kind of performance without the tech headaches, Pix Web counts on SiteGround to keep things fast, secure, and refreshingly simple—for both the agency and its clients.

Working with clients around the world, Oscar and his small team design websites that are easy to use, easy to manage, and built to scale. But building a business that runs smoothly across time zones and cultures wasn’t always straightforward.

On the right, a white card lists four benefits: "Up to 40 Sites Per Server" with scalable agency hosting, "Streamlined Launch Process" with quick domain transfers, "Fewer Headaches for Clients" with bundled hosting and support, and "Built-In Tools That Just Work" with daily backups, SSL, and Speed Optimizer.

The Challenge: Complex Interfaces, High Prices & Support That Didn’t Show Up

Oscar had tested a wide range of hosting providers over the years—both in France and abroad—but none lived up to expectations.

I really tried to have a French-first mindset, but every time I was disappointed. It was complicated. The support always sucked.

From local providers to more premium options, the issues were always the same: high costs, confusing platforms, slow or unhelpful support, and features that made basic tasks harder than they needed to be.

Even when clients came in with their own hosting setups, it rarely made things easier.

Every time I work with client-hosted solutions, it’s a bad experience. It makes delivery harder, more expensive, and less efficient.

Oscar needed something that made it easier—not harder—to launch websites, manage clients, and grow his business.

👉 Choosing a Web Host? Here’s What Matters

The Solution: Scalable, Simple, and Supported by SiteGround

The moment Oscar switched to SiteGround, everything clicked. Hosting became fast, control became centralized, and support was finally reliable. 

He quickly realized he could centralize all his client sites under one ecosystem—without sacrificing performance or control. That meant faster launches, better client experiences, and a hosting setup that actually worked for the way Pix Web operates.

I can host multiple websites for a very reasonable price. It’s perfect for offering clients a bundle that includes hosting, maintenance, and peace of mind.

For Oscar, SiteGround wasn’t just a way to fix technical headaches—it became the foundation for a scalable, client-friendly business model.

Strategic Architecture, Seamless Execution

Pix Web’s approach stands out for its focus on usability and clear communication, rather than chasing design trends.

We start with in-depth conversations to understand the client’s business, then plan the entire site with wireframes and user flow. Only once that foundation is solid do we think about design—colors, fonts, and visuals come last.

That kind of structure demands fast feedback loops and stable development environments. SiteGround allows Oscar to spin up temporary domains for live previews, share prototypes, and get client approval before launch—all without switching platforms or losing time.

We always build client sites on a temporary domain first so they can review everything. With SiteGround, moving the site to the final domain is super easy. If it’s not hosted on SiteGround, it’s often a problem.

Built-In Tools That Power Growth

SiteGround’s features go far beyond just hosting. For Pix Web, built-in tools like the daily backups, free SSL, and the Speed Optimizer aren’t just nice to have—they’re key to how Oscar delivers reliable, high-performing sites to his clients. Whether it’s improving load times, keeping sites secure, or managing everything more easily, these tools help him work faster, stay flexible, and grow his agency without getting bogged down in technical issues.

Speed Optimizer for Performance Tuning

Oscar uses the Speed Optimizer to keep sites running fast and responsive. He just turns on the settings that fit, and most of the time, everything works without any extra hassle—making sure visitors have a good experience and sites rank well.

Performance-wise, you can definitely see the difference when using SiteGround’s Speed Optimizer. Especially compared to mainstream hosts that aren’t optimized for WordPress, the speed improvement is huge.

SiteGround CDN to Prevent DDoS Slowdowns

When one of Oscar’s client sites—a high school in France—suddenly went down, he suspected a DDoS attack. Worried it could be something serious, he looked to SiteGround’s CDN for backup. While the free CDN is part of the standard setup, the “under attack” mode is included in the premium CDN plan. Oscar never had to fully activate this mode, but just having the option gave him peace of mind. For him, choosing the premium plan is crucial because he manages business-critical websites. It gives him peace of mind, knowing he’s prepared to tackle any spikes or threats that might occur in the future.

SiteGround Site Tools for Intuitive Management

SiteGround’s Site Tools provide an easy-to-use dashboard for managing websites without needing third-party apps or complicated interfaces. Oscar appreciates this simplicity because it lets him handle daily tasks quickly, from setting up SSL certificates to managing files and databases.

One thing I really like about SiteGround’s Site Tools is the site files feature. It lets me manage website files easily without having to use complicated tools like PHPMyAdmin. It just makes things usable.

Daily Backups for Fast Recovery

Even when clients accidentally delete files or break their website layouts, Oscar knows he can rely on SiteGround’s daily backups. This feature allows him to quickly restore sites to a previous working state, minimizing downtime and stress for both him and his clients – and it’s absolutely free with every plan

Sometimes we hand the website over and the client wants to try things themselves. If they make a mistake and don’t know how to fix it, the daily backups are super useful.

With the technical side handled, Oscar was free to focus on growing his agency and delivering value to clients at scale.

A Scalable System That Works

SiteGround gives Pix Web more than reliable hosting—it provides the framework they need to grow their business efficiently and confidently.

Whether a client wants to be hands-off or manage their own account, Oscar uses SiteGround’s collaborator access to step in when needed without friction.

Once they add me as a collaborator, I can manage everything from my account. Honestly, I forget I’m not on my own server. It’s that smooth.

This straightforward access means he can handle multiple clients’ websites without juggling different logins or accounts, making it easier to onboard new clients and grow without added hassle.

Support That Actually Has Your Back

For Oscar, SiteGround’s support has been one of the biggest differences of all.

I rarely wait more than 30 seconds to talk to someone—and usually three messages later, the issue is solved.

This reliability and responsiveness have completely changed his expectations—not just for hosting, but for service in general.

Just right now, I was trying to talk with my bank and it wasn’t instantaneous. I was disappointed because I’m used to SiteGround’s standards.

It’s the kind of support that makes you feel like you’ve got a team behind you—even if you’re running a small agency halfway across the world.

🚀 Checklist for a Trouble-Free Hosting Setup:
✅ Choose a hosting provider that’s fast, reliable, and easy to use
✅ Look for built-in tools like daily backups, SSL, and performance optimizers
✅ Make sure support is responsive and helpful when you need it
✅ Centralize client sites under one scalable platform
✅ Bundle hosting with maintenance for easier client management

The Bottom Line?

Oscar Rabasse didn’t set out to build a hosting business. He wanted to build great websites that help businesses grow. But with SiteGround, he’s been able to do both—offering a reliable, easy-to-manage hosting solution for his clients while scaling Pix Web into a sustainable, location-independent agency.

For agencies like Pix Web, SiteGround is the perfect fit for agencies like Pix Web. They can host up to 40 websites on a single server, bundle in maintenance, and create a steady stream of recurring revenue—something that really helps smooth out the slower months. They’ve looked into other hosts over the years, but none have come close to offering the same mix of flexibility, speed, and dependable support.

When it comes to hosting, I focus on performance, reliability, and support. Trust me, SiteGround is the best option if you don’t want to spend time figuring things out.

A promotional image for SiteGround featuring three people working around a table, with text highlighting the benefits of saving time and scaling a WordPress agency. The text reads, "Ready to Save Hours of Work and Scale Your WordPress Agency? Trust SiteGround to deliver the solid foundation your agency deserves. Elevate your web management processes with a hosting service that ensures peace of mind for both you and your clients." A "GET STARTED" button and a 98% satisfaction rating bar graph are also included.
