SiteW ({{IPA|fr|sit dublə ve}}) is a French company offering a website building service.
History
SiteW was created in the spring of 2007, when Fabien Versange and Cédric Hamel, two computer scientists, were approached by several local businesses in the Auvergne region to design their websites.{{cite web|url=http://lunion-cantal.reussir.fr/actualites/sitew-com-la-start-up-cantalienne-qui-democratise-la-creation-de-sites:TSFDG0MF.html |title=SiteW.com : la start-up cantalienne qui démocratise la création de sites|publisher=L'Union du Cantal |language=French|accessdate=January 6, 2017}} This common demand in the Auvergne region inspired them to form a company to design a platform which offers websites that are faster, easier and more accessible to individuals.{{cite web|url=http://www.dessinemoiunsite.com/test-avis-sitew-outil-francais-creation-site/ |title=Mon avis sur SiteW - test et revue complète de Youcef|publisher=Dessine moi un site |language=French|accessdate=January 6, 2017}}
Hailing from Cantal, in the central region of France, the company was registered at the Chamber of Commerce of Aurillac in January 2008, where they opened their offices in nearby Calvinet before relocating to Cassaniouze after three years, launching their website and online web services a month later.{{cite web|url=http://www.lamontagne.fr/aurillac/economie/2015/04/02/sitew-tisse-sa-toile-depuis-le-cantal_11389063.html |title=SiteW tisse sa toile depuis le Cantal|publisher=La Montagne |language=French|accessdate=January 6, 2017}} Hundreds of users signed up within the first couple of months and the first companies outside of France made use of the service by September of the same year.
