Web & IT Agency in Brussels: Sites and Apps | Espero-Soft

Espero-Soft Informatiques SRL

The local business fabric

Kortrijk is one of the most SME-dense regions in Flanders, and that is no accident: out of the textiles and flax of the Lys valley grew a fabric of family firms that has reinvented itself repeatedly — into technical textiles, floor coverings, interiors, bedding, machinery and materials. Design is part of the region's identity, with Kortrijk Xpo drawing trade and interior fairs to the city and Hangar K hosting start-ups and scale-ups on the Buda island. The business parks — Evolis, Kennedypark, Beneluxpark — and the Leiedal intermunicipal agency turn the surrounding towns into a single coherent economic space. What defines these companies: they are small to mid-sized, often family-owned, and they export. France is twenty minutes away, the Netherlands and Germany are standard markets, which makes multilingualism and international credibility a baseline requirement rather than an extra.

How we work here

To be honest about it: Espero-Soft has no office in Kortrijk. Our team works out of Brussels (Rue de la Colonne, Molenbeek-Saint-Jean) and Lille — the latter is about half an hour from Kortrijk, which makes the region familiar ground for us. From Brussels it is a good hour by car or 1h05 by direct IC train. We travel in for the kick-off workshop, the design sign-off and the launch; the day-to-day work is followed remotely with short demos. For an exporting company we start with the only question that really matters: which languages, which markets, and how the site gets found in each one — not with a translation plug-in, but with genuine Dutch, French and English versions and correct hreflang tags. A product catalogue or a B2B ordering portal for your regular customers is often part of it. The first meeting and the quote are free, and the quote goes out within 24 hours.

Frequently asked questions

We export to France and the Netherlands. Can you build a genuinely multilingual site?

Yes, and for Kortrijk companies that is usually the core of the job. The site is built from the start in Dutch, French and English — copy and admin area included — with correct hreflang tags so Google serves the right version in each country. Our own team works in those three languages, so you do not need to hire a translation agency to proofread the versions.

You are based in Brussels. How do you run a project in Kortrijk?

Kortrijk is about an hour's drive on the E17, or 1h05 by direct IC train from Brussels; our Lille team is half an hour away. We come on site for the kick-off workshop at your premises, the design approval and the final check before launch, at no travel cost. In between we work remotely with short, regular demos.

We sell to businesses, not consumers. Does an online shop make sense?

Often yes, but in a different shape. For B2B we tend to build a closed ordering portal: your regular customers log in, see their own prices and terms, and place orders themselves, connected to your ERP through an API. Alongside it sits a public product catalogue that prospects and search engines can see. We settle that choice in the free intake meeting. As for budget, a B2B portal is custom work with a floor: from €99/month over 12 months, or €79/month if you commit to 24, with no set-up fee. What your catalogue and the ERP link add on top goes into the quote, which reaches you within 24 hours.
