A psychologist’s website that feels like her practice, not like a startup.
Amélie Drouaud is a clinical psychologist in Nantes. Her site ran on WordPress. I rebuilt it as a static site: her own words kept as they were, the colours of her practice (off-white, sand, soft terracotta, sage green), and nothing left to update or patch.
What I did
- I wrote the brief before any code: what to keep word for word, the design rules (real photos, no stock gradients, no filler text) and the SEO requirements.
- Eight pages in plain HTML and CSS, with Cormorant Garamond and Inter served by the site itself, so no request goes to Google.
- Local SEO: a title and description for each page, structured data for the practice with its address, coordinates and opening hours, FAQ data, and 301 redirects from the old WordPress addresses.
- A new page, “When should you see a psychologist?”, written for what people actually search.
- Images in WebP with a JPEG fallback: the scanned code of ethics went from 570–789 KB a page to 27–144 KB.
- A contact form sent over SMTP, where visitors choose how they’d like to be called back. Appointments go through Doctolib.
