Web & mobile engineering studio · part of VACLIC
Most Moroccan websites are assembled.
Most Moroccan websites are assembled.
Yours will be engineered.
We build websites, web applications and mobile apps on the latest technology stack — chosen for your project, not for our convenience. No plugin stacks. No page builders. No licence treadmill. Real software, and the repository is yours on day one.

Contractual targets we commit to before work starts — not averages from past work. If a build misses them, we fix it before you pay the final instalment.
The problem nobody tells you
You were sold a website. You were given a liability.
Almost every "custom" site sold in Morocco is the same thing underneath: a CMS theme you didn't choose, thirty plugins nobody audits, and a hosting bill that quietly grows. It works on launch day. Then the plugins conflict, the page weight triples, a vulnerability lands in one of them, and the agency that built it quotes you to fix what it chose.
We don't build that. We write the application, we keep the dependency list short enough to read, and we hand you the source. If you ever leave us, you leave with everything.
!
What a plugin stack actually costs you
- 30–60 third-party dependencies you never approved
- Annual licence renewals for features you use once
- Page weight of 4–8 MB and a Lighthouse score in the 30s
- Every plugin is somebody else's security patch schedule
- No repository, no exit — you rent your own website
✓
What engineered software gives you
- A dependency list short enough to audit in an afternoon
- No licences, ever — you own what we wrote
- Performance budget enforced in the build pipeline
- Security patched by us, on our own infrastructure
- Full Git history handed over at launch
What we build
Three ways we work with you
Each one starts with the same free audit, so you know what you're buying before you commit a dirham.
01
Websites & web apps
Marketing sites, e-commerce, dashboards, booking systems, internal tools, customer portals. Server-rendered for speed and search, built to be indexed by Google and cited by AI assistants.
From 14 000 MAD →
02
Mobile applications
iOS and Android from a single codebase, or fully native when the product demands it. Modern backend, admin dashboard included, store submission handled, local payment gateways integrated.
From 48 000 MAD →
03
Recode — rebuild what you have
Our namesake service. A site or app that's slow, unmaintainable, insecure or invisible on Google gets rebuilt on modern foundations — content, URLs and rankings migrated intact.
From 11 000 MAD →
Why Recode
Six things we do that most agencies can't
⌘
We own the infrastructure
Recode is part of VACLIC — an ANRT-accredited .ma registrar running its own autoscaling cloud. Most agencies resell someone else's hosting and forward your ticket. We build it, host it and answer for it under one contract.
$
Our prices are public
Every competitor in this market hides pricing behind "contact an expert" so they can read your budget before quoting. Ours is on the pricing page. You'll know within thirty seconds whether we're in your range.
⚡
Performance is a contract term
Not a claim in a sales deck — a number in the statement of work, measured on your real content, with a remedy if we miss it. Ask any other studio to put their Lighthouse score in writing.
⎔
You get the repository
Full Git history, deployment scripts, environment documentation. Transferred at launch, not held hostage. The most common reason clients come to us is that nobody will give them their own code.
⚖
Moroccan law, Moroccan data
Your contract is governed by Moroccan courts and your data can stay on Moroccan infrastructure, CNDP-declared and GDPR-ready. When an offshore team disappears, you have no recourse. With us you have a jurisdiction.
◎
Built to be found by AI, too
Search is splitting between Google and assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity. We structure content and schema so your business is parseable and quotable by both — most sites built today are invisible to the second one.
Proof, not adjectives
Every agency says "fast". Test one of them.
This page is built the same way we build yours — no frameworks, no plugin stack, nothing loaded from a third party. Run Google's own tool against it right now, then run it against the site of anyone else you're considering. It takes about thirty seconds and settles the argument.

Run pagespeed.web.dev on recode.ma once it is live, export the result, save it as assets/img/pagespeed-recode.png and swap this frame for the image. A real screenshot next to a live test link is the single most persuasive block on this page.
We put the same number in your contract. If a build we deliver misses the agreed target measured on your real content, we fix it before the final instalment is due — which is why no competitor in this market will write it down.

Honest comparison
Your four real options
We've put ourselves in a table next to the alternatives you're actually weighing, including the ones that are cheaper than us. Where another option wins, we've said so.
| Recode | WordPress / CMS agency | AI site builder | Offshore freelancer | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | Mid — from 14 000 MAD | Low to mid | Lowest | Low |
| Cost over 3 years | Flat — no licences | Grows: plugins, themes, fixes | Subscription forever | Low until it breaks |
| What's underneath | Application code we wrote | Theme plus 30–60 plugins | Generated template | Varies — often recycled |
| Performance ceiling | 95+ Lighthouse, contractual | Needs constant tuning | Capped by the platform | Unpredictable |
| You own the source | Yes — full Git history | Sometimes | No — platform locked | If you insist, in writing |
| Custom logic & integrations | Unlimited | Plugin-dependent | Barely | Possible |
| Legal recourse | Moroccan contract & courts | Usually Moroccan | Foreign terms of service | Effectively none |
| Who answers at 22:00 | Us — we run the servers | The host, eventually | A help centre article | Different timezone |
| Best for | Businesses where the site or app is the operation | Content sites with modest needs | Testing an idea this week | Small, well-specified one-offs |
↳
If you need a five-page brochure site online by Friday for under 5 000 MAD, we are the wrong choice — and we'll tell you that on the audit call instead of selling you something you don't need. We're worth it when downtime costs you money, when the product is the business, or when you've already been burned once.

What a Recode project looks like
The layout below is live and final. The three projects in it are illustrative examples showing the structure — replace them with real work before launch.

How it runs
You always know what happens next
Five stages, fixed deliverable at the end of each one, and a go/no-go decision that's yours. You can stop after any stage and keep everything produced so far.
00
Free audit
We review what you have — performance, SEO, security, mobile, and where you're losing people. You get a written summary whether or not you hire us.
01
Blueprint
Scope, user flows, data model, architecture, stack decisions and a fixed build quote. A document you could hand to any competent studio — including one that isn't us.
02
Design
Interface design on your real content, reviewed in the browser rather than as flat images. Signed off before a line of production code is written.
03
Build
Two-week sprints on a staging URL you can open any day. Performance budget enforced by the pipeline from the first commit, not checked at the end.
04
Launch & run
Deployment on VACLIC, monitoring, backups, repository handover, and a documented maintenance plan you can decline.
The stack
The latest stack — chosen for your problem, not our habit
We work on current, actively maintained technology — and the specific choice follows your problem rather than our habits. One consideration outranks the rest: whoever maintains this in 2031 has to be hirable in Morocco. That rules out the fashionable and the exotic alike.
What we won't do is start from a page builder and call it engineering.

Straight answers
The questions you're actually asking
Because that quote is for a theme installation, and ours is for software. At 6 000 MAD nobody can write original code, test it, make it fast and support it — the maths doesn't work. What you get instead is a template with plugins, which is a legitimate product for some businesses and a trap for others. If a brochure site is genuinely all you need, take the cheap quote with our blessing. If the site or app carries your revenue, the cheap version is the expensive one: you pay again in eighteen months, and you pay twice because the rebuild has to undo the first attempt.
We test your current site or app on real devices and connections, run performance and accessibility measurements, check your technical SEO and indexation, look for exposed versions and known vulnerabilities, and review the conversion path a customer actually walks. You get it as a written document within about 48 hours. The catch is that it takes us a couple of hours, so we do it for businesses that look like a plausible fit — and that we'd obviously like you to hire us afterwards. You're under no obligation, and the document is yours to take to anybody.
Yes, and it's written into the contract. At launch we transfer the full Git repository, deployment configuration and environment documentation to an account you control. If you leave, you leave with a working, documented system that another team can pick up — that's the test of real ownership, and it's the reason a large share of our enquiries are businesses who discovered too late that they didn't have it.
That's the core of the Recode service, and it's mostly discipline rather than magic: map every existing URL, preserve or redirect each one, carry content and metadata across intact, keep the internal link structure, and ship the new version with equal or better technical signals. Rankings usually move slightly in the first weeks as search engines re-crawl, then settle. We monitor positions through the transition and we'll show you the plan in the Blueprint before you commit.
A content-driven website is typically 4–7 weeks from Blueprint sign-off. A web application with accounts, payments and an admin area runs 8–14 weeks. A mobile app on two platforms with a backend is usually 3–5 months including store review. The Blueprint gives you a dated schedule, and if you need something before a hard deadline we'll tell you honestly whether it fits rather than discovering it in month three.
By default on VACLIC infrastructure, which we operate ourselves. We'll build to meet Moroccan CNDP obligations and, where you have European users, GDPR requirements — consent handling, data minimisation, retention, export and deletion designed in rather than retrofitted. If your sector requires a specific hosting arrangement, say so in the audit and we'll architect for it.
Yes — we work in English, French and Arabic, and we're in a convenient timezone for Europe, the Gulf and West Africa. For international clients the arguments flip in an interesting way: you get European-adjacent working hours and a Moroccan cost base, with a company you can actually hold to a contract.
That's normal and it's what the Blueprint exists for. You don't need a specification to talk to us — bring the problem, the constraint and the deadline. Studios that demand a finished requirements document before they'll speak to you are outsourcing the hardest part of the job to the person least equipped to do it.
