Web design in Oldenzaal, for German customers too.
The border is round the corner. Your website can cross it as easily as your customers do.
Short answer
Jevana does web design and website development for businesses in Oldenzaal, often in two languages. Many owners here have customers in Germany, and a German visitor expects more than translated text: an Impressum, German payment methods and a separate address for each language. We handle the design, the build and the technology that shows each visitor the right language version.
What a German visitor expects
| Item | In the Netherlands | For Germany |
|---|---|---|
| Company details | At the foot of the page or under contact | A separate Impressum page, required by law |
| Paying | iDEAL | PayPal, invoice, bank transfer and credit card |
| Form of address | Je and jij | Sie, unless your audience is young |
| Privacy and cookies | A statement and, if needed, a notice | The same rules, enforced more strictly |
| Shipping information | At checkout | Visible up front, with delivery time and cost per country |
We set up the technology and the pages. Have the legal texts for Germany checked by someone who knows German law.
Two languages is more than a flag
A site with a language button and a machine translation behind it gives itself away to a German in one sentence. He does not trust it and orders elsewhere.
A good bilingual site has its own pages in each language, with their own addresses, written by someone who speaks it. Search engines receive a pointer saying which version belongs to which country, so a visitor from Gronau sees the German one and someone in Oldenzaal sees the Dutch. That last part is technology, and we build it.
Questions
Do you build bilingual websites for businesses in Oldenzaal?
Yes. We build sites with a Dutch and a German version, each with its own addresses and its own text. A visitor can switch and land on the same page in the other language. For search engines we add the pointers that say which version is meant for which country. Have the text written or checked by a native speaker.
What is an Impressum and do I need one?
An Impressum is a page with the full details of the company behind a website: name, address, representative, trade register and VAT number. In Germany it is a legal requirement for business sites, and a missing one can bring a formal warning. If a German-language site targets German customers, it belongs there. We build the page; you have the content checked legally.
Which payment methods does an Oldenzaal shop need for Germany?
For German customers the usual methods are PayPal, invoice, bank transfer and credit card. They do not know iDEAL. Through a payment provider you switch on the right methods per country, so a Dutch customer sees iDEAL and a German one sees their own options. We connect the provider and test each method with a real payment.
Can you design for Oldenzaal if the site is Dutch only at first?
Yes. You can start with one language. We then build the site so that a second can be added later without starting over: the layout, the addresses and the visual design all allow for it. German words run longer, so a button that fits exactly in Dutch gets some spare room from the start.
