In an increasingly international world, having a multilingual website is no longer a luxury, but a smart, strategic choice. Large Dutch companies are increasingly using English as their main language, and our society is made up of people with countless nationalities. Anyone who wants to expand their online reach needs to look beyond the Dutch language. That's precisely where Hoogma Webdesign, based in Beerta, can help.
We are the specialist for all your internet-related questions. Whether it's multilingual websites, findability, technology, design, or advice: Hoogma Webdesign is the right place for you. We collaborate with you, help you build, and ensure your website truly works for your organization.
Hoogma Webdesign uses our own HWCMS, a lightning-fast, secure, and intuitive website management system. And that offers major advantages:
We also always help you set up, expand, and make your website searchable, both nationally and internationally.
Reach more with multilingualism
An additional language on your website immediately increases your reach.
Why? It's very simple:
For example: if your Dutch-language webshop sells shoes, but no one can find the word "shoes" on your website, you`re missing out on all the English searches. By adding English content, you immediately double your chances of being found.
On our multilingual websites, you`ll see small flags in the top left corner indicating the available languages. Visitors can simply click their preferred language, and the website will switch directly to that language. It's visually clear, user-friendly, and makes everyone feel welcome - just like you see on our website.
Hoogma Webdesign has a strong _bckgr_ in the Spanish language, partly because we were based in Spain for many years. This makes us the perfect partner for entrepreneurs who want to enter the Spanish or South American market.
We not only provide accurate, fluent translations, but also understand the culture, language usage, and expectations of Spanish-speaking visitors. Automatic language recognition for maximum customer service
With our proprietary system, we automatically detect the language settings of your visitor's browser. The website is then immediately displayed in the correct language. That's true customer service - other systems often don't offer this as standard.
An additional language on your website literally opens new doors. Want to know what added value a multilingual website can bring to your business? Then contact us. We`d be happy to brainstorm with you and show you how your website can grow (inter)nationally.
