Website Design

The same precision that shapes a Gerondal ski shaped this website. Working the wood, adjusting the curves, choosing each material: the approach stays artisanal, whether it takes form in the Lillois workshop or in the code of a web page.

The studio: Perel Web Studio

The gerondal.com site was designed and built by Perel Web Studio, a Brussels web studio specialised in handcrafted, high-performance websites. Like in a real workshop, every component is sketched, tested and adjusted by hand — no generic template, no production-line assembly.

The philosophy mirrors Gerondal's: not chasing quantity, but precision. A well-made website is one that lasts, loads instantly, respects its visitors and tells the truth about the brand it represents.

Why Astro?

This site is built with Astro, a modern framework that ships ultra-light static pages. In plain terms: each page loads in a few hundred milliseconds, even on a slow mountain connection. No unnecessary JavaScript, no heavy tracking scripts, no buttons that lag on mobile.

For a brand that defends durability, this technical choice carries meaning: a lightweight site consumes less energy on the server, on the network and on the device. Perel Web Studio's Astro expertise ships websites that weigh on average ten times less than an equivalent WordPress build, while staying just as easy to update.

The result

Gerondal's site targets 90+ PageSpeed scores on mobile and desktop, WCAG AA accessibility compliance, and clean bilingual SEO markup (French and English) from launch day. The brand finds its tone here: an unhurried read, full-page photography, a little silence between sections — like a well-traced run.
