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.
