Our experience

We have a decade of expertise in building effective and visually compelling websites for a wide range of sectors in many countries. See our map below for areas of the world we have produced websites for.

We can provide great value for your organisation and are keen to pass on our expert knowledge in multilingual web design. We know that there are many factors at play when looking at a design for each language. These include language translation and character sets as well as cultural translation all of which can influence key design decisions.

• Translation: This should be done by a native speaker to get the best translation, and the context is important too. Dates numbers and currency all have special considerations that are different for each language.
• Character set: Different languages use different alphabets. Many Western European languages are based on the Latin alphabet, but there are differences in letters used and especially accents. Other languages are based on different scripts, for example Cyrillic. These all require different character sets to be used within the website.
• Text direction: Most languages in the world are written left to right. The most common exceptions are Arabic and Hebrew which are written right to left. And Chinese and Japanese which may be written top to bottom
