The client's whole pitch is transparent pricing against an industry that keeps it vague, so the site could not be a brochure with a contact form at the end. It had to demonstrate the claim on the page: costs you can explore, an operating model spelled out, and no invitation to "request a quote" before seeing a single number.

Astro 5, shipping almost no JavaScript: the page is HTML by the time it reaches the visitor, which is the only performance strategy that survives a bad hotel wifi in another timezone.

Two things took the real work. Internationalisation across the whole content tree rather than a language switcher bolted on top: routes, metadata and copy all localised. And WCAG 2.1 AA: contrast, focus order, landmarks and keyboard paths checked rather than assumed, and checked while the pages were being built rather than after.

Static, multilingual and accessible costs roughly what the alternative costs, and there is nothing left to keep patched afterwards. If that is the kind of site you need, tell me about it.
