A website that had grown by addition, rebuilt around one decision
A historical case study of my version-three website planning: connecting capabilities, service choices, and a considered route to enquiry.
Web development in Mauritius
I build websites that load fast, stay secure and are easy for your team to run. Hand-written where it matters, on a CMS where you need one, and documented so nobody is locked in.
What is covered
01
Company websites
Multi-page sites with a clear structure, built from a small design system rather than one-off pages.
02
Content management
WordPress, a headless CMS or plain Markdown, chosen for how often you publish and who does it.
03
Performance
Lean pages, optimised images and fonts, and Core Web Vitals checked on real mobile connections.
04
Accessibility
Semantic HTML, keyboard support and colour contrast checked against WCAG 2.2 AA.
05
Integrations
Forms, bookings, CRM, payments and analytics wired in with care for privacy.
06
Multilingual sites
Language versions with proper hreflang, localised URLs and a language switch that remembers the choice.
Phase: Build
How it works
- 01
Brief and audit
We agree goals, audience and scope. If you already have a site, I review what is worth keeping.
- 02
Structure and design
A sitemap and page templates, signed off before any build work starts.
- 03
Build
I build in short rounds and share a private preview link at each step.
- 04
Test and launch
Speed, accessibility, forms, redirects and analytics are checked before the switch.
- 05
Handover
Documentation, a walkthrough for your team and a care plan if you want one.
What you get
- A fast, accessible website on hosting in your name
- A content editor set up for your team, with a short guide
- Redirects, sitemap and structured data in place
- The source code and every login handed over
Tools I use
The outcome
A website that loads fast, ranks on solid foundations and does not need me for every change.
Questions
What to know before you start
How long does a website take to build?
A focused company site usually takes four to eight weeks from a signed-off brief to launch. Larger sites, migrations and custom features take longer. You get a timeline with the proposal.
Do you work with WordPress?
Yes. I build on WordPress when your team publishes often and wants a familiar editor. For sites that change less, a static build is faster, cheaper to host and harder to break.
Will I own the website?
Yes. The domain, hosting, code and content are in your name. I hand over every login and the source code at the end.
Do you work with clients outside Mauritius?
Yes. I work with businesses in Mauritius, the UK and across Europe. Calls are in English or French, and most of the work happens remotely.
