Portrait de Louis

Quick presentation

Louis Chancé, the face behind Ikacode

I created my first website in 2000 when I was still at college. It was all about video games, packed with content, articles and reviews, and even partnered with a monthly gaming magazine.

After ten years as a physics engineer, followed by experience in the tourism industry, and several years running an e-commerce business, I rediscovered my passion for web development.

In 2020, I undertook training to return to my teenage passion: creating high-performance, effective websites.

With IkaCode, I offer solutions based on open source tools, with a focus on responsible practices.

Working with other web professionals, we are committed to reducing the ecological impact of digital technology, ensuring accessibility for all, and complying with data privacy regulations (RGPD).

A few more things...

Here are a few elements I wanted to share to present my skills and my commitment for a sustainable web.

Commitments at the heart of our approach

Because owning a website means having a responsibility towards its visitors and its impact, we adopt good design practices.

  • Open source

    The choice of self-hosted solutions to keep control of your data without tying you to a proprietary solution.

  • Eco-design

    We follow the web eco-design principles set out in the French RGESN to limit the carbon footprint of your online presence.

  • Accessibility

    Compliance with good accessibility practices as set out in the RGAA.

  • A human approach

    We support you during and after the creation of your site.

By the way, why this name ?

About IkaCode

poulpe illustration

The name “Ika Code” refers to the incredible adaptability of cuttlefish, or “ika” in Japanese.

Like octopuses, cuttlefish are known for their ability to change shape, color or behavior to adapt to their environment, just like what’s required when managing a web project nowadays.

Skills that are also valuable when dealing with web projects, as we have to adapt to an ever-changing environment, keep on learning new skills and be very flexible to navigate in this vast ocean that is Internet.
