One site,
several languages, no mess.

A translate button does not make your site multilingual. Google only indexes what has its own address. We build a real version per language — this site runs in six, and a client's site in ten.

Its own address per language

/nl/, /pl/, /en/ — each language a URL Google can index and rank separately. A translate widget adds nothing to visibility.

Correct hreflang

Every page points to its counterparts in the other languages, with x-default. Without it your own language versions compete with each other.

Translated, not run through a machine

Copy is written per language and read by someone who speaks it. A reader spots machine translation within two sentences.

Proven at scale

premiumhouses.nl runs in ten languages, lookartsvision.com in six, d-kozijnen.nl in nine. All three built by us.

Why automatic translation costs you rankings

The temptation is obvious: one button on the site and done. The problem is that such a button only replaces the text in the browser. No second page exists, so there is nothing to index — in Polish or German you remain exactly as invisible as before.

The second mistake is subtler: redirecting automatically on browser language. It looks tidy, but a crawler sending an English header then gets a redirect instead of the page it asked for. We reversed that on this very site; now only a deliberate choice by the visitor redirects, and search engines always get a plain 200.

What it costs — the full picture

Two ways to get a website: buy it with monthly care, or take it on subscription with nothing up front. All amounts exclude VAT.

1. Buying: one-off + care

2. On subscription: €0 up front

  • Up to 5 pages, copy written after one conversation
  • Hosting, SSL, backups and 24/7 monitoring
  • A professional email address on your own domain

  • Changes billed hourly

After 24 months the subscription drops to care level — from €39 a month, or higher if you want more.

  • Everything in the subscription
  • Small changes within 48 h (up to 2 h/month)

The variant most business owners pick: you call or message, we adjust. After 24 months €99 a month remains — the care itself.

The €210 difference on the first route is exactly what it costs us to pre-finance the build. With full care the subscription is even €30 lower. All amounts exclude VAT.

Need new photos or a film?

A website is only as good as the photos on it. If you order a site, we shoot the material at a package price, together with photo and video studio Look Arts Vision.

Honest about the limits

More languages means more upkeep

Every price change has to land in every language. We advise starting with two languages that genuinely pay off, not six because it is possible.

We are not a translation agency

We write Dutch, Polish and English ourselves. For legal or medical copy in other languages you are better off with a sworn translator; we build the structure around it.

Questions about multilingual sites

Is a translate button really that bad?

For findability, yes: no second page is created, so Google has nothing to index. For an internal intranet it is fine; for a site meant to win customers it is not.

How much more does a second language cost?

Less than people expect, because the structure is already there. The cost sits in the copy and the proofreading, not in the technology.

Can I add a language later?

Yes. The setup is built for it from day one: another language means adding copy, not rebuilding.

How does Google know which version to show?

Through hreflang links between all versions plus an x-default. We verify it after launch with our own SEO checker, which tests exactly this.
