Brochure site or e‑commerce: how to choose
The right question is not how much it costs, it is where the sale happens. If the
customer decides online and pays online, you need a real online shop: catalogue,
cart, payments, shipping, returns, stock. If they decide online but buy from you,
in the shop or over the phone, a brochure site does the same job with a fraction
of the complexity.

Speed is a requirement, not a flourish
Somebody opening your site on a phone, in the street, on a shaky connection,
waits very little before going back, and every retreat is a customer fewer and a
poor signal to Google. Speed is built in from the start, never bolted on at the
end: light images, lean code, few requests to the server, sensible caching.

What "indexed" actually means
Google sends a program around to read the pages of the web, takes a copy and
files it away. If your page is in that archive it can show up in the results; if
it is not, for Google it does not exist, however handsome it looks. A fast,
indexed site gives that program readable pages, an up to date list of what it
holds and a precise description of what you offer.

Rebuilding without throwing away the good
A site that has been around for years has addresses Google knows by heart and
pages that still bring visits. I look at what works, then redirect every old
address to its new counterpart: people arriving from an old search do not land on
an error page, and the reputation you built up stays yours.

If you also need to take bookings, with a calendar, availability and an admin area, that
lives in booking platforms and back
offices. If the problem is feeding listings and translations by hand, look at
automation and AI. And if your customers
should end up with an icon on their phone, that is
mobile apps.
