Eden Island Marina

About the Eden Island Marina website

Eden Island Marina is a superyacht marina on the Eden Island residential development in Mahé, Seychelles. Its visitors are yacht captains, crew, owners and agents, who need facts quickly: berths, services, location and how to get in touch.

A marina website has to look as good as the boats and answer practical questions in a few clicks. That is what this project aimed for.

How I build websites like Eden Island Marina

Every website I build starts with what visitors need to do and how to make that easy. I design the layout and visual style, build the site in WordPress so the client can edit their own content, optimise images and pages for speed on mobile, and set up the on-page SEO so the site can be found. Where a project calls for it, I also supply the photography and video. This project follows that approach. To see more of my work, browse the web design portfolio, or contact me about your own website.

What I look at first

Before designing anything I look at who visits, which device they use and what they came to do. For most small and medium businesses that means a phone, a quick question and a need to find contact details fast. I keep the structure simple, write short and clear headings, and make the main action, whether that is to call, enquire or book, visible on every page. Good photography and a light page weight then do the rest, because visitors leave slow or confusing sites within seconds, and search engines notice that too.
