Web design and app development in Saint-Martin

Web design in Saint-Martin, for an English-speaking clientele

Saint-Martin shares its island with Sint Maarten, and visitors move freely between Marigot, Grand-Case, Orient Bay and Philipsburg. Many of them come from North America, speak English and are used to paying in US dollars. A local business's website therefore needs to work in English first for these visitors, while staying in French for residents and for official matters.

We build business websites, landing pages and online stores for Saint-Martin businesses. Our French company, ECOBILL SAS, is based in Guadeloupe and already works across the French West Indies.

What a Saint-Martin website should do

• Speak English and French, with a clear switch and complete versions.
• Show your prices clearly, in the currency your customers expect: many local businesses display US dollars alongside euros.
• Make booking or a request easy from a phone, often on a beach or in a hire car.
• Show the place: photos of the villa, the restaurant, the boat or the shop, compressed so they load fast.
• Give directions, hours and a phone number that works for an international visitor.

On the tax side, Saint-Martin is an overseas collectivity outside the scope of French VAT. Your accountant confirms what applies to your own invoices.

Languages and currencies on your site

Your site can speak the languages of your customers: English and French in almost every case, and other languages if your clientele asks for them. Each version has its own addresses so that a visitor searching in English from abroad lands directly on the English page.

Currency deserves the same attention. A visitor planning a trip compares prices before arriving: showing rates in US dollars, in euros, or both, avoids the doubt that makes people leave. If you sell online, Stripe handles card payments from international customers. We decide these points with you during the brief, according to how your customers actually pay.

Tourism businesses we build for

Restaurants in Grand-Case and on the Marigot waterfront, villa and apartment rentals, boat trips and water sports around Orient Bay, car rentals, shops and services for residents: each lives on a few key moments, when a visitor plans the trip, looks for a table tonight or wants to book an activity for tomorrow. The site is built around those moments.

A visitor decides in a few seconds on a phone. The site has to answer before they scroll.

Hosting on Google Cloud also means your site stays online when local conditions are difficult, such as during the hurricane season, since nothing depends on a server on the island.

Our work in the Caribbean

Our Caribbean references are in Guadeloupe. Le Jiss is a restaurant, pizzeria and lounge bar at the Gosier marina: its site presents the menu, the rum bar, the venue in pictures and table booking, exactly the needs of a waterfront restaurant in Saint-Martin. Planet Animal, a multi-store pet shop, and Gwadadrop, a delivery management platform we designed, are also live. Our neighbouring page covers web design in St Barths, and all our projects are on our portfolio page (in French).

Prices, timelines and how we work

Prices on this page are in euros. A landing page starts at €850 and takes about a week; a multi-page website starts at €2,500 and takes about two weeks; a platform with member areas, dashboards and its own database is quoted and takes about four weeks. The quote is free and payment can be split between a deposit and the balance.
