Pro areaProsA section, a town, a place, a shop, a practical detail — or something to fix. Tell us: we already hold the data — hundreds of place families are collected and waiting for their section (our figures).
A local-life platform in the service of residents, and a fair club for shopkeepers and craftsmen — a single partner per town and per trade, details never resold, without paying fortunes to the web giants.
Humberto learns to program in BASIC, with his first instructions: PRINT, INPUT, RND, RUN. First on an Oric then an Oric Atmos, next an Amstrad, a Commodore, an Amstrad that already looked like a PC, and finally Commodore's first PC laptop, with a backlit screen already showing a little colour. It still switches on today.
Humberto starts a neighbourhood newspaper project: telling local life, giving space to the shops next door. The project doesn't come through — but the idea never leaves him again.
Always that strong taste for creating communication for businesses. And a simple intuition: using one shop's footfall to bring customers to another — shopkeepers recommending each other, instead of each fighting in their own corner.
Humberto joins Kiendo, the small 3D imaging company run by Laurent and Yann. The idea: a 3D town you stroll through where, walking up to a shop, you step inside — long before Google Maps. Already local advertising that does not depend on the giants of the time, the Yellow Pages and Google. Humberto sells a few websites, not enough to keep the venture alive: they each go their own way.

To leave the removals trade — very seasonal — and devote himself to business communication, Humberto presents this project to the CNAM's « Small business entrepreneurship » programme: dynamic business-card displays regularly restocked, where everyone leaves with a local professional's card (the « PRO en VUE — the professionals' shop windows » display). The project starts, a few displays are installed — for free. But building the website was then too expensive: two engineers try, without much success. Removals call him back, and he stays.
Humberto trained in new technologies and built his own tools. He committed to complex sites to build, without the technical means of old — he found them thanks to artificial intelligence, which helps him build this site and other online services. Taken up again in 2025 with his own means, after months of intensive work: OnBouge is here — to help shopkeepers grow without losing their shirt on communication.
