Behind the Scenes of the Living In Nyon Website Refresh And How You Can Build One Too.

Meet Jana Bachollet, Owner of Webulous

Jana is the website designer behind Living in Nyon’s fresh new look. With a real feel for both design and community, she helped us bring the site to life in a way that feels both modern and true to its roots. We’re incredibly thankful for her skill, care, and patience throughout the process and we’re so happy to have her as part of the extended LIN family. Keep reading to hear what the redesign process was really like AND to find out about the AI website workshop she’s running right here in Nyon.

When I first moved to St-Cergue in 2019, just a short train ride up the mountain from Nyon, I did what most newcomers do, I typed “things to do in Nyon” into Google. Time and again, Living in Nyon popped up, offering the kind of local knowledge you won’t find in any guidebook. It felt like a friend gently pointing me in the right direction towards the best cafés, weekend activities, and local festivals.

I didn’t know it then, but those helpful articles were written by people just like me: expats who had fallen in love with this region. Fast-forward to six months ago, when I first met Mandy and Seema to talk about redesigning the website. We clicked straight away (pun slightly intended). Not just because we all got on so well, but because we shared a vision - of a site that feels current, easy to use, and still community-led.

A Few Things I Learnt About Living In Nyon

🔸 It’s not just a blog. It’s a hub for the international community in and around Nyon, lovingly built to help people settle in and feel at home.

🔸 Since 2008, nearly 2,000 articles have been published, written by just three contributors. That’s an impressive archive of stories, tips, and local knowledge. And yes, migrating all of that from WordPress to Wix was no small feat! Let’s just say it involved some digital puzzle-solving.

🔸 Redesigning a website is never just about tech. It’s also about getting crystal clear on what the site stands for and what the audience needs. Seema and Mandy had to rethink, reframe, and rewrite sections to better reflect the heartbeat of this community. And they did.

The new  site is lighter, faster, and easier to navigate. But more importantly, it still feels like Living In Nyon. Full of heart, full of community, and ready to welcome the next person searching for a place to belong. If you’re new to the area or you’ve been here a while, I hope this site continues to be the friendly digital guide it was for me when I first arrived.
