Web Development in Mauritius
Websites and web apps built for speed and easy management: WordPress, headless WordPress, Next.js or Astro.
The problem
Many business sites are slow, hard to update and held together by plugins nobody remembers installing. Every change feels risky.
What I do about it
I build fast, secure sites on clean foundations, on WordPress, headless WordPress, Next.js or Astro, chosen for what the site has to do, so your team can keep updating it without breaking it.
This service turns a design into a fast, secure site you can actually manage. Most projects run on WordPress, built on clean foundations: sensible themes, no plugin clutter, performance and SEO handled properly. That way the site loads quickly and ranks well.
When a project needs more than a traditional build, I go headless: WordPress kept as the editor your team already knows, with a Next.js, React or Astro front-end in front of it. That suits content-heavy sites that must load instantly, and products with logins, dashboards or custom logic. I'll recommend one approach and explain the trade-off before any work starts. The goal is a site that stays easy to update long after launch.

- Headless WordPress with a Next.js or Astro front-end

Why hire an expert
Architecture
A generated site works on day one. An expert decides how it is structured so that adding a page, a language or a payment in a year does not mean rebuilding it.
Performance
Speed is a set of decisions about images, fonts, scripts and caching, measured on a real phone and a real connection, not a feeling that the page looks fast.
Security
Forms, logins, API keys and third-party scripts are where sites get hurt. Someone has to review them line by line and keep updating them.
In their words
“Incredibly fortunate to work with Xavier. He is trustworthy, reliable, instantly available, and quick-minded in problem-solving.”
Questions about this service
It depends on how the site will be used. A marketing site your team updates every week is usually WordPress. A content-heavy site that must load instantly suits Astro or headless WordPress. A product with logins or custom logic suits Next.js. I recommend one and explain the trade-off before any work starts.
Yes. Every build comes with a simple admin and a short handover guide, so your team can change text, images and pages without calling a developer.
Yes. I review what is there, keep what is sound and fix or replace what is not. If moving the site is the better option, the migration is planned with redirects to protect your search traffic.
