Web design in Kortrijk

A French buyer looking for a supplier types in French and expects an answer in French. They read your product page, compare specifications and want to ask for a quote without calling first. An English-speaking buyer from Germany or Scandinavia does the same in English. Your Dutch site does not help them, even if they can read it with a translate button: Google does not show them your page, because no French or English version exists.

The effect is concrete. A Kortrijk manufacturer with a site in one language does not show up in France on the product name, only on the company name, for people who already know it. A site in three languages gets you found by people who do not know you yet. In English, Google confirms the demand: 'web agency kortrijk' and 'web designer kortrijk' come back as searches, the latter with 'belgium' and 'belgie' added.

A good French version follows the French buyer, not the Dutch text. In practice:

• Other words, other search termsAn 'offerte' is a 'devis', a 'werkbon' a 'bon d'intervention'. Find out per language what your client types and put that in your titles.
• French references firstA project in Lille or Lyon convinces a French buyer more than ten projects in West Flanders.
• Mandatory detailsIf you sell to consumers in France, extra rules apply to your site. For B2B your company number and contact details are enough; see company number on your website. For contracts and terms abroad, ask a lawyer.
• A form in the buyer's languageA French form with Dutch error messages loses the buyer.

That the French buyer also gets to see the French page is arranged by hreflang: every page points to its French and English counterpart. How that works technically and in your own editing is on our page about multilingual website development; what else an export site needs is in website for an export business.

A plant with an English-speaking management often writes its site in English first and has it translated. That works if the translations are written for each market, not copied. And keep the local language rules in mind:

Kortrijk Xpo draws visitors from all over Europe every year to fairs such as Interieur and Busworld. If you exhibit, after the fair you get visitors on your site who want to find a product they saw on the stand. Three things then make the difference:

1. A page per product or product line, with the name as on the stand, specifications and photos. Not a 40 MB PDF catalogue that does not open on a phone.
2. A fairs page with where you will be in the coming months, in every language. After the fair it becomes an overview of what was on show.
3. A quote form that asks what you really need: quantities, dimensions, delivery country, desired lead time. That way you can send a price range within the day instead of calling first.

If your quote needs a calculation, such as a price per square metre or per configuration, a calculator on your site can give a first price. We built such a cost calculator for SN Group. If the process behind the quote grows big, with work orders and planning, that is more of a platform: read software company in Kortrijk.

The city mostly supports filling a shop unit in the city centre. With the attraction grant a new business in an empty unit can get 10,000, 5,000 or 2,500 euros, depending on the zone the unit is in; the 2026 rules set which streets belong to which zone. There is also Handel met Karakter for businesses with a face of their own. In 2025, 13.4 percent of the shop units in Kortrijk stood empty, which explains why the city puts its support there.

None of those grants pays for a website directly. Whoever opens a unit does need a site that is found from day one. Which support exists in Flanders for digital projects, and what remains since the SME growth subsidy stopped, is in Flanders digitalisation grants and website grants in Belgium.

Every extra language is mostly translation plus a second set of titles, descriptions and forms; put it as a separate line in your budget. Our price starts at 1,500 euros for a custom site; after a meeting in your showroom you get a fixed project price. With the website cost calculator you see what a French and English version add to the sum; put quotes from other agencies next to it with compare website quotes.

Kortrijk is 48 kilometres from our office on the Sint-Baafsplein, 35 minutes by car, and the direct train from Gent-Sint-Pieters takes 25 to 32 minutes. We hold the first meeting on your shop floor or in your showroom, in English or Dutch, so we see what you make.

We have no Kortrijk client, and we would rather say so at once. We do run sites in Dutch, French, English and Turkish that we built for a law firm, an accounting firm and Business Centrum, each with its own titles and search terms per language. For that last firm, the number of search terms without the brand name on page 1 grew from thirteen to 1,593 in five weeks. What we deliver exactly is at website design.
