Bilingual French-English, mobile-first, built to be found on Google and to convert visitors into enquiries. - Precise quote within 48 business hours, no commitment - Full ownership: code, content, all access credentials handed over - One point of contact: Oliver, 25 years of experience in Guadeloupe ## A website that exists, but doesn't work for you Many businesses across Guadeloupe and the Caribbean have a website that is live but produces no real results. Here are the four most common causes among local and regional professionals. ### It's slow on mobile — visitors leave before they scroll A site that takes more than 3 seconds to load on Guadeloupe's 4G network **loses 50% of its visitors**. The same applies across the Caribbean where mobile connectivity can be variable. Heavy frameworks, uncompressed images, and unnecessary scripts are the usual suspects. **Impact** : Every extra second of loading time costs you customers who won't come back. ### It doesn't appear on Google locally Without **local SEO structure** (consistent Hn tags, meta descriptions, schema.org, linking to your Google listing), **your site** technically exists but **stays invisible** for local searches — from Les Abymes to Saint-François, or for tourist searches in English. **Impact** : You're paying for a domain no one finds. ### It doesn't generate enquiries A good-looking site with no **visible CTAs** (quote form, phone, WhatsApp) and no clear path **doesn't convert**. The visitor reads, moves on, and calls your competitor — or leaves the island without contacting you. **Impact** : Great pixels, zero enquiries in the inbox. ### You're locked in with your previous provider Source code withheld, locked hosting, lifetime subscriptions, CMS credentials impossible to retrieve: **switching providers becomes a nightmare**. Your site turns into a liability, not an asset. **Impact** : Every update costs more than it should. ## A good website rests on three non-negotiable thresholds In Guadeloupe and across the Caribbean, a website that **works** meets three concrete, measurable, verifiable thresholds: **LCP < 2.5 seconds** (Google Core Web Vitals — the site delivers its promise before the visitor's attention slips), **genuine mobile-first** (70%+ of regional traffic comes through smartphones on variable 4G), and **full ownership transferred** (source code, content, DNS access, hosting, CMS — everything belongs to you, no lock-in). Below these thresholds, your site exists without working: Google demotes it, visitors leave, and competitors capture the enquiries that should have been yours. This matters whether your audience is local in Guadeloupe or visiting from Martinique, Saint Lucia or Antigua. Kimoun designs every site with these three thresholds as the target from day one. > **Kimoun builds your site to clear all three thresholds** — mobile-first design, validated performance, full ownership at delivery. ## What we put in place so your website actually works Every lever is scoped, implemented, and documented. Nothing left to chance — and everything is handed over to you at delivery. Based in Guadeloupe, we work locally and remotely with businesses across the Caribbean. ### Readable mobile-first design Designed for smartphones first, then adapted for desktop. Legible typography, clear hierarchy, CTAs visible without unnecessary scrolling. Visual identity aligned with your activity and your printed materials if they exist. Adapted for tourism businesses, associations and local shops. ### Validated performance LCP < 2.5s, no heavy framework. Optimised images (WebP), critical CSS inlined, minimal JS. Static sites when appropriate — faster, more secure, cheaper to host. Tested on Caribbean 4G conditions. ### Local SEO and Caribbean visibility built in from the start Clean Hn structure, per-page meta tags, schema.org LocalBusiness, sitemap, robots.txt, linking to your Google Business Profile. Copy written for local searches in French and in English — from Pointe-à-Pitre to visiting guests searching from Dominica, Antigua or Saint Lucia. ### Bilingual French-English websites For tourism businesses, cultural organisations and professionals serving both local and international visitors: Kimoun builds bilingual sites (French and English) with coherent structure, consistent messaging across both languages, and proper SEO treatment for each language version. ### Full ownership transferred At delivery, you receive the source code, DNS and hosting credentials, CMS login if applicable, and maintenance documentation. You can switch providers whenever you want — no lock-in, no retention clause. ### Scalable and maintainable site Clean architecture, content editable without coding (lightweight CMS if needed), structure that allows adding pages, evolving the design, and integrating third-party tools (Brevo forms, ManyChat chatbot, e-commerce module) without starting over. ## A four-step process, 2 to 4 weeks **Étape 1** : Project scoping — First conversation to understand your activity, objectives, target audience, and existing content. Delivered: a written scope, a site map, and a precise quote within 48h. **Étape 2** : Wireframe and design — A quick wireframe (page structure) followed by a visual mockup (identity, colours, fonts). Each deliverable validated with you before moving to the next step. **Étape 3** : Build and content — Site development, content integration, image optimisation, basic SEO setup, hosting configuration. Weekly project check-in to stay on track. **Étape 4** : Launch and handover — Deployment on your domain, final checks (responsive, speed, links, forms). A 30–60 min training session so you can edit and maintain independently. All credentials handed over. ## Bilingual, rooted in Guadeloupe — and that makes a real difference Kimoun is based in Le Moule. Olivier Watte, founder, brings **25 years of experience in digital transition** — ExxonMobil, L'Atelier BNP Paribas, Mediaserv (now Canal+ Overseas), founding of IPEOS in Guadeloupe — including **20 years on the ground in the archipelago**. Kimoun works in French and English, which means we serve not only local businesses but also tourism operators, expats and English-speaking Caribbean entrepreneurs. On a web project, that changes four things in concrete terms. **Caribbean market knowledge** — we write for Guadeloupe prospects and for English-speaking visitors, using the right search terms and vocabulary for each audience. **On-site availability** — scoping meetings, photos of your activity, meeting your team when useful. **Coherent ecosystem** — the website connects naturally to your Google Business Profile, your printed materials, and your social media. **Full ownership from day one** — no lock-in, no captive subscription, no retention clause. The site is yours, full stop. > A well-built website **pays back for years**. A poorly built one **costs you for years**. Kimoun puts every asset in your hands at delivery. ## What they say after working with us > Our association website was slow and invisible on Google. Since Oliver took over the project, we rank first on Google in Guadeloupe and Martinique. All our members can publish, and we have since run other projects together with the same success. > — Karim, President, Association Aquaponie Antilles — Les Abymes > Our team is spread across Guadeloupe, Martinique, mainland France, and London. Oliver supported us on the visual identity, the logo, the editorial guidelines, and the site structure. His availability and his method allowed us to complete the project and rally the team around clear, shared objectives. > — Jessica, Responsable, Univers Bien-etre CBD — Magazine en ligne > Excellent experience with Kimoun for my website redesign. I particularly appreciated the availability, the advice, and the personalised support throughout the project. The result is professional, fast, and well suited to my activity. It's reassuring to be able to count on a serious, responsive local provider. I recommend Kimoun to anyone in Guadeloupe who wants to create or improve their online presence. > — Nicole R., Comptable, TPE du BTP — Guadeloupe ## A clear range, a precise quote in 48h **Professional business website** : €700 – €1,800 ex.

Average timelines by project type: **brochure site** up to 5 pages in **2 to 4 weeks**; **redesign** in **3 to 6 weeks** (depending on the complexity of the existing site); **e-commerce** in **4 to 8 weeks**; single **landing page** in **7 to 14 days**. The delivery date is **set in the quote and does not slip**, except for scope changes agreed together. Remote collaboration works smoothly for clients across the Caribbean. ### Who owns the site, the code, and the content? **You do.** The source code, editorial content, design mockups, hosting access, DNS, and CMS credentials (if applicable) are **entirely yours** at delivery. If you ever want to switch providers, Kimoun hands over all files and access **with no transfer fee and no retention clause**. This is written into the quote from the start. ### Do you build bilingual French-English websites? Yes — **bilingual website design is one of Kimoun's strengths**. Tourism businesses, cultural organisations, associations and Caribbean businesses that serve both French-speaking and English-speaking audiences can request a fully bilingual site. Both language versions are built with proper SEO structure (separate URLs, dedicated meta tags, correct hreflang tags) so each version performs on Google in its respective language. ### Will the site be fast on mobile? Yes — **mobile speed is a non-negotiable standard** at Kimoun. Target: **LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) < 2.5 seconds** on Caribbean 4G network conditions — Google's Core Web Vitals threshold. Technically: no heavy framework (no React/Vue unless justified), images optimised as WebP, critical CSS inlined, minimal JS, fast hosting. Performance tests run systematically before launch. ### Is local SEO included or an add-on? **Basic local SEO is included in every package**: clean Hn structure, per-page meta tags, schema.org LocalBusiness, sitemap, robots.txt, readable URLs, linking to your Google Business Profile. Going further (intensive SEO with keyword research, optimised content production, competitor audit) is a separate service or monthly retainer. A well-indexed standard brochure site is sufficient for 80% of businesses in Guadeloupe and the Caribbean. ### Can I edit the site myself after delivery? Yes — **the site is designed to be editable without coding**. Depending on your needs, we deliver either a static site with a lightweight CMS (Netlify CMS, Decap CMS) to edit text and images through a simple interface, or a standard WordPress site if you prefer. You receive a **30–60 min training session** plus written documentation so you can handle routine updates independently. ### Do you handle hosting and the domain name? Yes, Kimoun can **host your site** (plans from ~€10 ex. VAT / month depending on traffic) and **manage your domain name** if you wish. But it is **not required**: you can host with OVH, Hetzner, Infomaniak, AWS, or any provider of your choice — we deploy and hand over the credentials. No lock-in, no captive subscription. Domains (.fr, .com, .gp) are managed by third-party registrars (Gandi, OVH) registered in your name. ### Can you take over an existing site (redesign)? Yes. The **redesign package** (€900–€2,500 ex. VAT) covers exactly that. Audit of the existing site, migration of useful content, rebuild on solid foundations (mobile-first, SEO, performance), and **301 redirects to preserve your existing rankings**. If your previous provider is blocking access to the code or domain, Kimoun manages the recovery (formal request, registrar transfer, DNS migration). It is never an insurmountable obstacle. ### Can I pay in instalments? Yes. The standard payment schedule is **two stages**: 40% deposit at the start (confirms mutual commitment), 60% at delivery. For projects above €2,000 ex. VAT, we can split into **three stages** (40% at start, 30% at mockup sign-off, 30% at delivery). No study fee, no automatic renewal clause, no charge beyond what has been produced if the project is abandoned midway. ## Contact et localisation Kimoun — Route de Boisvin, 97160 Le Moule, Guadeloupe Téléphone : +590 690 49 73 01 - Monday – Friday : 08:00 – 20:00 - Saturday : 08:00 – 17:00
