islas24.info: a custom website built by Info-Arte
At Info-Arte we don't only design and print: we also design and build custom websites. And because a website is best understood by seeing it rather than being told about it, here is a real project we built from start to finish: islas24.info, a complete guide to the Canary Islands.
What islas24.info is
Before looking at how it's made, here is what it offers its users. At Info-Arte we live and work in Tenerife, and we know how useful it is to have the islands' information at hand. That's why we created islas24, made for those who live here and for those who visit:
A real directory of businesses and places: restaurants, guachinches, beaches, viewpoints, museums, services… with individual pages, maps, opening hours and carefully written descriptions.
An events calendar for all eight islands: festivals, concerts, markets and processions gathered in one place (the hardest thing to find).
Practical guides: what to see, the best beaches, typical cuisine.
In four languages (Spanish, English, German and Hungarian) and for all 8 islands.
Who it's for: resident, visitor or newcomer. And if you're looking for a handmade island souvenir, you already know where we are. 😉
What's under the hood
islas24 is not a template site: it's a custom project with several pieces working together:
Directory with its own listings: an individual page per business or place, categories, search and map location.
Truly multilingual: all content in four languages, managed from the panel itself.
Events calendar: with dates, venue and geolocation.
Responsive design: looks and works perfectly on mobile, tablet and desktop. Most traffic today is mobile, so the site adapts to any screen.
Fast and optimised: careful loading times. A slow site loses visitors and ranks worse on Google, so speed isn't an extra, it's part of the job. islas24 loads light even with hundreds of listings behind it.
SEO and best practices: structure, tags and content designed to rank and to help Google understand the site.
Custom admin panel: to create and edit content, categories and translations without depending on anyone.
Extensible modules: for example, we're adding live data (weather, air quality, seismic activity, sea state). The site grows with you.
From a landing page to an online shop: you decide
islas24 is a directory, but it's just one example of the many we can build. With the same foundation and the same care we develop:
a simple, effective landing page, if you only need a presence and to capture contacts;
a catalogue of products or services;
a directory like islas24;
a full online shop, with cart and payments;
or a multilingual website made to measure.
The key is that we start from a solid architecture that we adapt to each project: design, sections, languages and features according to what you need. We neither tie you to a rigid template nor start from scratch each time. Building something similar, or completely different, for your business is no problem at all. islas24 is a sample of what can be done, not a limit.
We don't leave you on your own: maintenance and hosting
A website doesn't end the day it goes live. At Info-Arte we take care of the whole cycle:
Maintenance and updates: keeping the site running, secure and up to date.
Hosting and domain: we also handle the hosting and domain, so you only have to think about your business.
Close support: we're here, in Tenerife, for whatever you need.
Have a web project in mind?
If you want a website that works, that ranks and that you can manage yourself, at Info-Arte we make it happen, with the same care we put into everything else. Tell us your idea and we'll shape it.
