Website Localization
If you want to be present on the German market, you need a German website. If you already have on - good. If you don't, even better.
Before you hire a translator, let us analyze your Site, your offers and services and find out, how it is presented best in order to perform best on the German market. That's what localization is supposed to do. Of course we also optimize existing translations, but most of the time the effort will be even higher because we have to take a look at the original website as well as the translated one and bring both parts together for a perfect result.
