Xavier, founder of Kalyxo, smiling

Bonjour! I'm Xavier

My love affair with America started early. As the son of French travel agents, I've been visiting the U.S. since I was a baby. Those trips planted a seed: the American Dream. That dream finally bloomed when I won the Green Card lottery and moved to San Diego in 2012.

In March 2021, I proudly became an American citizen. It was the culmination of a journey that started with childhood visits and grew into a lifelong commitment to this country and its entrepreneurial spirit.

After 6 years leading front-end development teams at agencies like Siege Media, I founded Kalyxo in 2022 with a simple mission: give small business owners the freedom to focus on what they do best while I handle their web presence.

Today, I help businesses across San Diego (and beyond) build websites that actually work. Fast-loading, mobile-friendly, and optimized to turn visitors into customers. All starting at just $149/month with $0 down, because great web design shouldn't require a second mortgage.

Why Kalyxo Web Exists

The Problem I Kept Seeing

Working at agencies, I watched small businesses struggle with their web presence. They'd either go without a website entirely, or pay $10,000+ for something that looked dated within a year. Many ended up with slow, broken sites that actually hurt their business.

It drove me crazy. Small businesses deserve better.

The Solution I Created

Kalyxo bridges the gap between "no website" and "overpriced agency." I offer the expertise of a senior developer with the personal touch of a local partner—all for just $149/month with $0 down.

Professional results. Personal service. Finally affordable.

How I Work Differently

01

I Speak Your Language

No tech jargon. I explain everything in plain English (or French, if you prefer!). You'll always understand what's happening with your website.

02

I Build for the Long Term

Using modern technologies like Astro and React, I create websites that stay fast and secure for years. Less maintenance, more peace of mind.

03

I'm Actually Here

Based in San Diego, I understand the local market. When you need support, you get me, not a call center. Real help from someone who knows your business.

04

I Care About Results

A beautiful website means nothing if it doesn't bring customers. I focus on performance, SEO, and conversions: the things that actually grow your business.

When I'm Not Coding

You'll find me spending time with my wife and our two kids, exploring San Diego's incredible beaches and parks. We love discovering new playgrounds and family-friendly spots around town.

I'm also passionate about helping fellow French-speaking entrepreneurs navigate the U.S. market, bringing a bit of that French attention to detail to American business hustle.

I'm also an active member of San Diego's creative community (hello Creative Mornings!), where design and development intersect. You might find me photographing our stunning coastline or Balboa Park. This creative exploration keeps my design eye sharp and my approach fresh.
