Winegrowers and cellars
Estates in Aigle, Yvorne, Ollon or Bex: your wines, tasting hours, cellar events and a simple order or booking form that reads well on a phone.
Your website in the Swiss Chablais,
from Aigle to Monthey.
Brutux Studio designs and redesigns websites for businesses in the Vaud and Valais Chablais: Aigle, Bex, Villeneuve, Monthey, Saint-Maurice, Collombey-Muraz, Leysin, Villars and the Swiss resorts of the Portes du Soleil. The studio is based in Thonon-les-Bains, just across the border, and works throughout Switzerland, especially in French-speaking Switzerland around Lake Geneva.
One Chablais, two cantons.
The Chablais does not stop at Saint-Gingolph. Once over the border, it is split between two cantons on either side of the Rhône: the Aigle district on the Vaud side, with Villeneuve, Bex, Leysin and Villars, and the Valais Chablais around Monthey, Collombey-Muraz, Saint-Maurice and the Val d’Illiez. The same name as on our side, but a different country, different directories, a different data protection law and different search habits.
The local economy is remarkably varied for an area of this size. The Chablais wine appellation around Aigle and Yvorne. The chemical site and industrial subcontractors of Monthey. The Bex salt mines. The international schools and boarding schools above Leysin and Villars. And, at the head of the valleys, Champéry and Morgins, on the Swiss side of the Portes du Soleil ski area.
From the studio in Thonon, Monthey or Aigle are about an hour away by the lakeside road through Saint-Gingolph. Important workshops therefore take place on site, at your premises; day-to-day follow-up happens by video call. You deal with a single person, the studio’s founder, who knows both sides of the Chablais.
Who we work with in the Swiss Chablais.
From the Aigle vineyards to the Champéry slopes, four profiles come up again and again.

Rhône valley subcontractors, building firms, workshops: a company website that presents your expertise, reassures clients and helps you hire in an area where skilled people are in demand.
Mountain tourism
Hotels, chalets, ski schools, guides and equipment hire in Champéry, Morgins, Leysin or Villars: a presence in several languages, winter and summer alike, with direct booking or enquiries.
Schools, practices and services
Private schools, healthcare practices, fiduciaries, property managers: clear information for families and clients who compare online before they call.

What to know for a Swiss Chablais website.
What changes when your clientele is Swiss and you are on this side of the border.
Clearing up the word “Chablais”
On Google as in an AI assistant, “Chablais” points to Haute-Savoie as much as to Valais and Vaud. A Monthey business that only says “in the Chablais” risks being confused with its French neighbours. Name your canton, your district and the communes you serve: Monthey, Collombey-Muraz, Vionnaz, Aigle, Ollon. Search engines then know where to place you, and visitors see straight away that you are on their side.
nFADP: lean forms
Since September 2023, the revised Federal Act on Data Protection (nFADP) has governed how a website collects personal data. In practice: forms that ask only for what is useful, an up-to-date privacy notice, carefully chosen analytics and a list of third-party services. We design the site in that spirit and prepare the information; legal sign-off stays with your adviser.
Three languages, three audiences
The Chablais is French-speaking, but its clientele is not always. The resorts welcome many Swiss German and international visitors, and the boarding schools and companies often work in English. Machine translation alone is not enough: each language deserves its own pages, its own search vocabulary and a review by someone who speaks it. We plan that structure from day one.
Swiss directories and consistency
In Switzerland, local.ch and search.ch are still people’s first stop for an address or a number. Add your Google profile, the tourist office site, Région Dents du Midi and your trade association. The same name, address and phone number everywhere help Google and AI assistants recognise a single business. One old number left in a directory is enough to blur the signal.
A .ch domain, and no duplicates
For a Swiss clientele, a .ch address inspires trust. If you also own a .com or .fr, avoid publishing two copies of the same site: pick one main address, redirect the others to it and keep languages in separate folders. That way you concentrate your rankings instead of splitting them between two competing versions.
Which provider in the Swiss Chablais?
Three ways of getting a website built that you will come across between Villeneuve and Saint-Maurice, compared on what matters over time.
| Criterion | Brutux Studio | Local web agency | Online website builder |
|---|---|---|---|
| Location | Thonon-les-Bains, about an hour away; on-site meetings and video calls | On site, on the plain or in Lausanne | None, everything is done alone online |
| Technology | Custom-coded, fast site with no plugins to maintain | Often WordPress with a theme | Platform templates |
| Languages | Separate pages per language, built into the structure | Depends on the agency | Often machine translation |
| Data and nFADP | Few tools, lean forms, information prepared | Depends on the agency | Tools and hosting imposed |
| Beyond the website | UX, business software and AI with the same contact | Often advertising and social media | Nothing more |

The studio is in Thonon-les-Bains, in the French Chablais. We come to the Vaud and Valais Chablais for the key stages, from Villeneuve to Saint-Maurice and up to the resorts, and work remotely the rest of the time. More broadly, we work throughout Switzerland, especially in French-speaking Switzerland, all around Lake Geneva.

Frequently asked questions.
Web agency Swiss Chablais: answers to the questions we are asked.
Do you work in the Vaud and Valais Chablais?
Yes: Aigle, Bex, Villeneuve, Leysin and Villars on the Vaud side; Monthey, Collombey-Muraz, Saint-Maurice, Champéry and Morgins on the Valais side. Important meetings take place at your premises, follow-up by video call.
Are you a Swiss web agency?
No: Brutux Studio is a French company based in Thonon-les-Bains, in the French Chablais. We work with businesses throughout Switzerland, especially in French-speaking Switzerland, on site for the key stages and remotely day to day.
How long does it take to build our website?
Allow 10–15 days for a showcase site of a few pages if your content is ready, and 3–6 weeks for a fuller company website or one in several languages.
Can the site be in French, German and English?
Yes. Each language gets its own pages and keywords, so it can be found by Swiss German or international customers. Translations are reviewed by you or your translator.
Do you take the nFADP into account?
Yes: forms limited to the essentials, carefully chosen analytics, third-party services listed and information prepared for your privacy notice. Legal validation remains a matter for your adviser.
Can you update our local.ch and search.ch listings?
We tell you what to correct and align the information with your website and Google profile. Listings are edited from your own account, and we can guide you through it if needed.
Do you work with the Swiss Portes du Soleil resorts?
Yes, in Champéry, Morgins, Torgon or the Val d’Illiez, just as on the French side: accommodation, ski schools, activities and shops, with a site that changes between winter and summer.
How do we show up in ChatGPT or Google answers for Monthey or Aigle?
Nobody can guarantee it. You can, however, stack the odds in your favour: pages that answer your customers’ questions directly, your business named alongside its commune and canton, and identical details on your site, your Google profile and Swiss directories. Our page on visibility in AI answers explains the approach.
