Why a Brussels website often needs three languages
The capital holds the densest business fabric in the country: European institutions, trade federations, banks and consulting firms all sit within a few square kilometres. That density brings a specific demand. Indeed, a Brussels website usually has to speak French, Dutch and English from day one, because the client, the supplier and the employee rarely share one language.
The region is also home to a very broad layer of small businesses, freelancers and shops, from the Canal Zone out to the Woluwes. Their needs look nothing like an institution's: a restaurant wants bookings, a consultancy wants trust, and a laboratory wants to explain complex work in plain words. Each of them needs its own entry point, tone and call to action. We work with all of them, and we never sell two of them the same project.
In addition, a few legal basics apply to almost every Brussels website. The legal notice shows your enterprise number (BCE/KBO), cookies follow the GDPR, and the privacy policy exists in each language. Since the Brussels-Capital Region is officially bilingual, a French-only site also leaves part of your market aside.
