Ecrin Digital is an independent design and engineering studio founded in 2023 by Alexis Chân Gridel, a member of the Awwwards Young Jury 2026. Based in France (registered in Mâcon) and fully remote, the studio designs and builds custom websites and iOS and Android apps for B2B startups and SMEs. Design and code come from the same hands, and you own all the code.
Everything is custom code (Astro, Next.js, React, Sanity, GSAP, Three.js, React Native, Expo), delivered to the client's own repository with no platform lock-in. Alexis leads every project personally, from the first call to launch, and brings in trusted freelancers when a project needs them.
Work includes the development of the Viewz website (shipped in 4 weeks), the redesign of Montec's website, Aura Agence, Teckel Atlas, and Doodraw, our animated drawing app built with React Native (210,000+ installs). We also contributed to the development of hear.ai (Awwwards Honorable Mention, CSS Winner Site of the Day).
Studio recognition: CSS Winner STAR, CSS Design Awards Special Kudos and Netty Award 2025 Best Small Web Development Agency.
Pricing: paid scoping Roadmap from EUR 1,500 to EUR 2,500, websites from EUR 6,000 (typical projects EUR 6,000 to EUR 20,000), and Ecrin Care maintenance from EUR 79 per month.
They were exactly the kind of partner you want on a project. Highly recommend Écrin Digital

Our Story
Écrin Digital was born from a deep desire to create something meaningful. Before building websites, I wanted to give back, volunteering with nonprofits and helping those in need. That same drive now fuels our work: bringing buried ideas to life with craft and intention. "Écrin" means jewelry box in French (a precise container for something precious). We build digital experiences with the same care: thoughtful, quality-driven, and designed to make an impact.
