- Time zone: UTC+1 all year, within an hour of Paris, London and Conakry — real-time collaboration, not overnight handoffs.
- Languages: French, English and Arabic are working languages, not translations.
- Check live production work, what you will own and who actually writes the code before you sign.
- We have shipped for clients in Tunisia and Guinea, all remotely.
Why Tunisia
- Time zone: Tunisia is on UTC+1 all year — the same as Paris in winter, one hour off in summer, and one hour ahead of Conakry and Dakar.
- Languages: French is the default business language, English is standard in tech, Arabic is native. Multilingual products are normal here, not exotic.
- Talent: a large engineering-school output with strong JavaScript and web experience.
- Cost: lower than Western Europe for comparable seniority — though the gap is narrower than it used to be.
For francophone Africa specifically
Companies in Guinea, Côte d’Ivoire or Senegal often choose between a local freelancer and a European agency. A Tunisian team sits in between: francophone, close in time zone, used to bilingual FR/EN delivery for buyers who are international. We built bilingual sites for SDMCO (construction and public works) and Sogetrac (mining logistics), both in Conakry, entirely remotely.
What to check before hiring
- Live work. Ask for URLs of projects running in production today, not mockups.
- Ownership. Know in writing what is yours (domain, content, data) and the terms for getting the source code.
- Who writes the code. A named team, not a subcontracting chain.
- Scoping. A written, one-page scope with a fixed quote beats an hourly estimate that drifts.
- Handover. Documentation another developer can follow, and a deploy you can repeat without the original team.
What we build
Custom web platforms on Next.js, Node and PostgreSQL; SaaS products with billing and multi-tenancy; AI features grounded in your own data (retrieval-augmented generation over documents); and fast, multilingual showcase sites. Among live projects: El Maître, a legal platform with an assistant over 8,000+ bilingual legal articles, and Taland, a job platform with AI matching.
