Renaud Bessières, freelance web project consultant in Paris

Independent Web Project Expert in Paris

As an independent consultant, I manage your digital projects from design to launch.

Web Project Management

Independent web expert with 20 years of experience in project management, UX and development, I support my clients in designing and managing custom, ergonomic and user-centered web projects.

What is Web Project Ownership Assistance?

Web project ownership assistance is the practice of supporting organisations in the design and management of their digital projects.

You have a website, business application, digital redesign or marketplace project. You know what you want to achieve, but you may not have the in-house technical skills to:

  • Scope the requirements: precisely define what you need and formalise it in an actionable brief
  • Select the right contractors: write a request for proposals, evaluate technical bids, negotiate contracts
  • Oversee development: track progress, verify deliverable quality, manage timelines and budget
  • Accept and validate: organise acceptance testing, ensure the final product matches the brief

That's exactly my role. I'm the expert bridge between you (the client) and your technical contractors (developers, designers, integrators). I speak both languages — business and technology — to ensure your project succeeds under the best conditions.

As a former developer and CTO, I bring deep technical understanding that allows me to challenge your contractors on the quality of their work, not just on timelines.

A proven 6-step methodology

  1. Scoping and needs analysis — Co-design workshops, user interviews, existing system analysis. I translate your business needs into measurable objectives.
  2. Brief and specifications — Functional and technical specifications writing, UX wireframes, acceptance criteria definition.
  3. Contractor selection — Request for proposals writing, bid analysis, technical evaluation of candidates, decision support.
  4. Agile management — Scrum-based development tracking, sprint facilitation, team coordination, regular reporting.
  5. Acceptance testing and quality control — Functional testing, performance audits, accessibility (WCAG/RGAA), eco-design (RGESN) and GDPR compliance checks.
  6. Launch and onboarding — Deployment, team training, documentation, post-launch support.

About Me

I have worked as a developer, project manager, and CTO. This triple experience allows me today to support my clients as an independent consultant, with a 360° vision of their digital projects.

Having lived and worked in Cork (Ireland), Vientiane (Laos), Beirut (Lebanon), and Tunisia, I have developed an adaptability and cultural openness that enrich every project.

My belief: a successful web project relies on dialogue and co-construction. I believe in close collaboration between business and technical teams, listening to end users, and transparency throughout the project.

I gladly put my skills at the service of social and environmental impact projects. Working with organisations like Greenpeace, Secours populaire, or public research laboratories gives special meaning to my work.
