Scribeo

This website was created by Scribeo

One afternoon of Speak Cases in Louvain-la-Neuve, and a single-page website to fill the room. Scribeo built it for AIESEC and updates it with every announcement.

YouthSpeak Case needed a website that speaks to students and keeps up with the organisation week after week. It fits on one page, in French and English: a countdown to 25 November, a button that adds the event to your phone's calendar, the registration form built in, directions to the Agora 12 auditorium through Google Maps or Waze, the speakers, the team, the FAQ and the latest Instagram posts.

Since launch, the site has moved a lot: a new date, a second speaker, revised figures, new team photos. Each time, the English version and the sharing image followed on the same day. That is how Scribeo works: the client writes what they want changed, in a private conversation on their phone, and the page follows.

Scribeo works the same way for independent professionals, shopkeepers and craftspeople, in Charleroi, across Hainaut and as far as Namur. No dashboard, no password: one sentence is enough.

  • No bill from Scribeo. Building the site, changes and new features are free. The client only pays for the domain name and hosting, around 30 euros a year, directly to the providers and in their own name.
  • The domain stays with the client. From day one. If they leave, they keep their address and take all the files.
  • An app in your pocket. The site can be added to the home screen and still opens without a connection.
  • Two languages or more, with the translation updated together with the original text.
  • Social media posts prepared every Monday, published only once approved.

Behind Scribeo, a photographer

Scribeo is David Mertens, who lives in Moignelée, near Namur. Between two websites, he travels alone to photograph the street in cities he does not know, with a Leica Q3 and no plan. For this site, two series: a capital of dark stone in the rain, and an Atlantic port under a hard sun.

Edinburgh, dark stone and shifting skies

A black and white series, fitting for a city whose stone was blackened by centuries of coal smoke, to the point that it was nicknamed Auld Reekie. It moves from the Old Town on its rock to the straight streets of the New Town, under a sky that never stays the same.

The Scott Monument keeps coming back, with sketch artists sitting at its foot. On the Royal Mile, a young piper stands in front of a carved door, a couple dances on the cobbles, protesters raise their placards. At night, Waverley station empties and a statue ends up wearing traffic cones. Then the rain comes, umbrellas open in front of the churches and the pavements shine.

Vaulted gallery with a hanging lantern and a distant silhouette, Casablanca

Casablanca, Atlantic shadows and contrasts

White facades, a hard light that cuts through buildings and passers-by, cracked walls that hold the heat. David photographed the city up close, moving constantly between shade and full sun.

At the end of the corniche, he climbed the spiral staircase of the El Hank lighthouse up to the lantern room, where the Fresnel lens turns a single bulb into rings of light. The keeper greeted him with a raised hand before going back to watching the waves. From the top you see the flat roofs, a minaret and the districts lined up to the horizon.
