Jungle Bay Dominica
An eco-resort locked into a vendor platform, on a site that took 41 seconds to show anything on a phone. Rebuilt from its own words and pictures.

How it was done
- Rebuilt from their own words and pictures. No CMS and no page-builder: the pages are generated from templates, so the markup is ours and there is no vendor bundle underneath it.
- Every address kept. Fifteen years of press links point at those paths. All 88 are checked against the live inventory on every single build, and the build fails if one stops resolving.
- The weight came out, not the content. An 8 MB autoplay video and a 16 MB hero photograph became a 391 KB page. The poster image is what loads first; the video only attaches once the page is done.
- Fonts self-hosted. Their display face is not licensed for the web, so Poppins carries it — served from their own domain, because a font CDN is a data-protection problem for the French edition.
- Their accounts stayed theirs. The existing booking engine and analytics property were kept and reconnected, not torn out and recreated, so no history was lost.
