Gardhi - Landscaping Services Website
A multilingual business website for a Kosovo-based landscaping company, built with Next.js and deployed on Netlify.
Overview
Gardhi is a website I built for a professional landscaping company in Pristina, Kosovo. The business had no web presence — clients could only find them through word of mouth. The goal was a clean, fast site that showcased their work and made it easy for new clients to get in touch. All content is in Albanian for the local market.
What the Site Includes
- Service pages covering lawn mowing, garden maintenance, landscape design, and irrigation
- Project gallery with before/after photos of completed work
- Consultation request form for new client inquiries
- Blog with gardening tips and seasonal advice, powered by MDX
- Responsive layout that works across all screen sizes
Technical Stack
- Framework: Next.js 15, React 18
- Styling: Tailwind CSS
- Content: MDX with gray-matter for frontmatter parsing
- SEO: Static generation, meta tags, semantic HTML
- Deployment: Netlify with continuous deployment from Git
What I Learned
This was my first project with a fully non-technical client. The biggest challenge wasn't the code — it was designing a content workflow simple enough that the client could actually use it. MDX struck the right balance: flexible enough for a developer, approachable enough to hand off. I also learned that for local service businesses, a fast-loading, clearly structured site with a visible phone number converts better than anything else.
