Bruges

Two economies behind every Bruges website

The city is really two economies inside one municipality. Within the canals everything revolves around the visitor: hotels, guesthouses, restaurants, guides, chocolatiers and independent retailers. Their audience comes largely from abroad, so it searches and books in English, French or German. A Bruges website for a hotel therefore has to win over a tourist on a phone first.

Ten kilometres north lies Zeebrugge, with its roll-on/roll-off terminals, new-car storage, container quays and transport zone, plus the offshore wind sector, which berths its maintenance vessels there. The two worlds want opposite things from a digital project: one needs visibility, several languages and a booking flow that works on a phone; the other needs scheduling, tracking and integrations that run out of sight. We serve both, but not in the same way.

For hospitality, a few details make the difference: identical opening hours and address on the site and in Google, fast mobile pages, and GDPR-compliant cookie handling. On the port side, however, the priority usually lies with data exchange between logistics partners and Peppol e-invoicing.

How we run a Bruges website project from Brussels

We have no office in the city; our only Belgian address is in Brussels (Rue de la Colonne 1A, 1080 Molenbeek-Saint-Jean). Since the trip takes about an hour by train, we plan fewer but longer on-site meetings. One solid scoping day at your premises beats five quick visits. We use that day to agree on priorities, languages and the first release.

Everything else runs remotely, with a named contact and a shared view of progress. For a hotel or restaurant, your Bruges website usually starts as a four-language site that loads fast on a phone, with a booking button that works and correct details in Google. For a port or transport-zone firm, we more often begin with an internal tool.

The whole engagement can run in Dutch from start to finish. Each release ends with a short demo, so you always know where the project stands. After launch, you update texts, photos and languages yourself from the admin area.

Frequently asked questions

Our guests come from abroad. Can our Bruges website run in four languages?

Yes. The €59/month plan covers a multilingual site with correct hreflang tags, a blog and advanced SEO, and you manage the languages yourself from the admin area. We write the Dutch, French and English ourselves; for German, say, we provide the structure and you drop the translation in.

You are in Brussels. Do you actually come to see us?

Yes, though honestly not every week, since the trip takes about an hour by train. We come on site for the kick-off, for the important decisions and for delivery. In between, follow-up runs remotely with one named contact. We do not bill travel costs. We plan those visits well ahead, so your team can block the time.

What does a Bruges website cost for a local business?

A showcase site is €29/month all-in on a 24-month term (build, hosting, domain name and maintenance) or €49/month over 12 months. A multilingual site with a blog and SEO, the usual choice in hospitality, costs €59/month over 24 months or €79/month over 12. Custom work, such as wiring up a booking or POS system, starts at €79/month over 24 months or €99/month over 12. The free 24-hour quote then sets the final figure.
