PROJECT 02
HOXHA HANDWERK
A multilingual website for a craft and trade business, built to present the work and make it easy for customers to get in touch.
The Idea
A craft and trade business does its best selling by showing finished work, but that work was scattered across phones and messages with nowhere to point a prospective customer. The goal was a website that puts the craftsmanship first, answers the questions customers always ask, and makes getting in touch a single tap.
What I Built
I built the full site: a hero that states what the business does, a before/after gallery of completed work, a plain explanation of the process, an FAQ, testimonials, and contact paths through both a form and WhatsApp. A language switcher lets visitors read it in their own language.

User Experience
The site guides visitors from first impression through project proof to contact. Clear visual hierarchy, before/after presentations, and social proof through testimonials create a trustworthy experience that encourages engagement.
Design Decisions
The design emphasizes professionalism and craftsmanship. Strong hero imagery, a trust-focused layout, and a clean visual system ensure the business is presented at its best while maintaining fast load times and mobile responsiveness.
Technical Approach
A static site in HTML, CSS and vanilla JavaScript, deployed on Netlify, so there is no CMS to maintain and nothing to slow the first load. Semantic HTML carries the structure, responsive CSS handles the layout, and JavaScript drives the language switcher and the gallery.
SEO Perspective
The website is structured with proper heading hierarchy, descriptive metadata, and clear content organization. Project and contact sections are designed to be crawlable and provide meaningful information for both search engines and users.
What I Learned
Building multilingual content taught me to keep text out of the markup and in one place, otherwise every copy change means editing the same sentence twice. I also learned that for this kind of business the contact method matters more than the contact form: most people would rather tap WhatsApp than type into a form, so that had to be visible from anywhere on the page.
