They open it and leave
A local business gets opened on a phone, out in the street, on one bar of signal. If it takes three seconds, that person is already back on Google.




We design and build websites for businesses in Lugano and Milan. Not only how it looks: how fast it loads, how it reads on a phone, and whether the phone then rings.

Six things, all done in-house. Not one of them is farmed out, and that is why the timings we quote are the ones you get.
A shop window made to measure: structure, words and visual treatment. It is the work you can see below, done five times over on five different trades.
Shops on Shopify and on WooCommerce, catalogue included: product pages, variants, shipping and payments. Importing a catalogue you already keep somewhere else, too.
Pages built for the searches people make in your area, structured data and a sitemap. The foundations are in the project from day one, not in a separate consultancy.
Visual identity and words that sell, in the language your customers speak. We write the copy for every site we make, and never to fill space.
Domain, certificate, email and the move into production. If your domain sits somewhere else, we move it across without the old site ever going quiet.
Content changes whenever you need them — prices, opening hours, offers, photographs — on a monthly fee. Or we hand you the keys and you do it yourself.
THE GAP IN TIME
THE GAP IN TRUST
THE GAP IN CARE
A local business gets opened on a phone, out in the street, on one bar of signal. If it takes three seconds, that person is already back on Google.
A site stuck in 2016 says one thing to whoever lands on it: maybe they have shut down. It is almost never true, but it is what comes across in ten seconds.
Text lifted off the old flyer, photos taken on a cousin's phone, opening hours that are wrong. It is not laziness: nobody ever did it properly for them.
Djolof Studio was not started to make prettier websites. It was started because Lugano and Milan are full of businesses that are good at their trade and invisible on the phone of the person looking for them.
For years the website has been treated as a line of spending to tick off: you make one, you put it online, nobody looks at it again. But a website is not a document. It is the place where somebody decides whether to call you.
We build it before you decide, and we show it to you finished. If it convinces you, we talk. If it does not, you have seen it for free.
Your work deserves to be found.
Four principles, the same on every project. They are not a list of intentions: they are what decides whether a site works or stays a flyer.
A slow site loses the person who opened it, and Google knows it. Speed is decided in the structure and in the assets, not at the end with a plugin. We measure it on a real network, not in a lab.
August 2026 offer
CHF699
one-off, no monthly fee
A shop-window site cut to fit your business, written and built by us, online within two working days of your go-ahead. Fixed price, agreed before we start.
Four steps. Your part is the first one, it takes an hour, and it ends there.
A phone call or three written lines. What you do, who for, what you want to happen.
Words, photos, structure: we prepare all of it. We ask nothing else of you.
Not a draft and not a mockup: the real site, at its own address, on a phone and on a computer.
If it convinces you, it goes live and the domain stays yours. If it does not, you have lost an hour.
Below, five that made it past.
Below you will not find screenshots of websites. You will find their marks. Five real businesses, from the outskirts of Milan to Ticino, and five sites that are online right now.
01Medical aesthetics clinic
Spa, face, body, advanced beauty, aesthetic medicine: five worlds under one roof, and whoever walks in has to find theirs straight away.
02Moroccan restaurant and shisha lounge
Restaurant, lounge and dinner show are three different evenings in the same place: here they stay apart, and the table is booked on WhatsApp.
03Advanced beauty clinic
Ninety-two price list entries across two centres, and the fourteen addresses Google knew from the old site, kept alive one by one.
04Sneaker and watch resale
In resale you buy trust before you buy the piece: collections, sizes and the authenticity check repeated on every product page, not only on the home page.
05Baile funk night
The dates live on Instagram and Telegram: the site holds the fixed Wednesday slot and the two ways in, guest list or table.
Djolof Studio — Lugano
No switchboard, no reseller, no middleman passing the job on to somebody else. You write here and the person who then puts their hands in the code writes back.
It is the reason we can promise 48 hours: between your phone call and going live there is no hand-over to anyone.
Wolof — hospitality as the duty of the one who welcomes
Whoever arrives is served before they ask.
The studio takes its name from that word, and its way of working along with it: you see the site finished before you decide, not after you have signed.
Three fields, under a minute. We answer within 24 hours, and it is a person who answers.
