Website design and maintenance

A clear site, fast on an Ivorian mobile connection, that brings enquiries into your inbox.

A showcase site has one job: to make a visitor understand what you do and get in touch. Everything that does not serve that — heavy animations, empty pages, a carousel nobody scrolls — slows the site down and reduces the number of enquiries you receive.

We build light sites, readable on a phone and on an uneven connection, with a contact form that genuinely reaches your mailbox and a properly filled Google Business Profile. And we are glad to take over existing sites that have become slow or been left without updates.

The problems this actually solves

Five reasons an existing site brings in nothing.

The site takes ten seconds to appear on a phone

Unresized images, an overloaded theme, accumulated plugins. On a mobile connection the visitor has left before it finishes. We measure the real page weight and cut it down, starting with the images.

The contact form sends nothing

It displays “message sent” and the message goes nowhere. Nobody notices for months. We test a real send and put a verifiable delivery path in place.

The phone number is not clickable

On a phone the visitor has to memorise then retype it. Some will not. We make numbers and addresses clickable, and add WhatsApp where it makes sense.

The site has not been updated for two years

WordPress and its plugins are the most attacked target on the web. An unmaintained site ends up sending spam or redirecting your visitors elsewhere. We bring it up to date and put backups in place.

Nobody finds you when searching for your trade in Abidjan

Empty or identical page titles, no Google Business Profile, no visible address. We deal with those basics before talking about advanced search work.

What we build

Four areas, from a showcase site to custom software. Maintenance is the one left off the quote, and it is what decides how long the site lives.

Design and build

  • Showcase and professional sites
  • WooCommerce and PrestaShop online shops
  • Page structure and content written with you
  • Contact and quote forms, tested with a real send
  • WhatsApp, click-to-call and directions built in
  • Bilingual French / English sites where the activity calls for it

Going live

  • Domain name, hosting and SSL certificate
  • Configuration of email linked to the domain
  • Search basics: titles, descriptions, URL structure
  • Google Business Profile created and filled in
  • Sitemap, robots.txt and structured data
  • Takeover and modernisation of existing sites, with URLs preserved

Maintenance

  • Core, theme and plugin updates
  • Regular backups, stored away from the site server
  • Availability and certificate monitoring
  • Form protection against automated submissions
  • Fixes and small content changes
  • Recovery after a compromise

Custom software

  • Web management applications: customers, stock, jobs, bookings
  • Business software shaped around how you work, not the other way round
  • Role-based access: everyone sees only what concerns them
  • Dashboards and exports to follow the activity
  • Your existing Excel files brought into the application
  • Hosting, backups and changes after delivery

How a project runs

Four stages, and the content is written with you — the part that takes the most time.

  1. Framing

    What the site must produce: calls, quotes, orders. Who reads it, on what, and what they must find in under ten seconds. We list the pages needed, not the pages possible.

  2. Content and layout

    We write the text together, assemble the pages, and you approve on a private link. The photos and documents you supply are resized for the web.

  3. Going live

    Domain, hosting, SSL certificate, forms tested with a real send, Google profile filled in. Old URLs are redirected when it is a rebuild.

  4. Follow-up

    Updates, backups, monitoring. We hand over full access: the site is yours, on your host, with your domain name.

HTTPS, backups, updates, forms

An unmaintained site does not stay as it is: it degrades. These four points are the minimum to hold.

  • SSL certificate and systematic redirection to HTTPS
  • Automatic backups stored somewhere other than the site server
  • Restore tested at least once, not merely configured
  • Core, theme and plugin updates on an agreed rhythm
  • Named administrator accounts with strong authentication
  • Forms protected against automated submissions, without a painful CAPTCHA
  • Unused plugins removed — each one is an attack surface

Access to the domain, the hosting and the site is handed over at the end of the project. You can change provider without rebuilding anything — which is the proof the work was done properly.

Who it is for

The useful site is the one that matches how your clients actually look for you.

  • Shops and restaurants

    Opening hours, address, directions, clickable phone, real photos. Four pages are often enough.

  • Hotels and guesthouses

    Presentation, facilities, booking enquiry, usually bilingual.

  • Freelancers and firms

    Credibility, specialities, simple contact.

  • Associations and NGOs

    Activities, news, membership, contact.

  • Organisations with an existing site

    Rebuild or repair, with URLs and acquired search visibility preserved.

Why give us this work

Nothing unverifiable: no years in business, no client count, no certification. Only the way we work.

  • We optimise for an uneven mobile connection

    That is the real situation of most of your visitors. Page weight is a design criterion, not an afterthought.

  • The form is tested with a real send

    We send a message and check that it arrives. It is trivial, and it is the most common fault.

  • You keep your access

    Domain, hosting, administration: all handed over. You are not locked in.
