Websites for a town that bet on digital
The town made a very deliberate digital bet after its coal mines closed, and that bet has left visible marks. The Initialis science park, backed by UMons and its Polytechnic Faculty, became the heart of what the region calls its Digital Innovation Valley. Google also built one of its European data centres at Saint-Ghislain, some fifteen kilometres from the centre. That investment pulled in subcontractors in energy, networking and industrial maintenance.
The Maison du Design, a legacy of the 2015 European Capital of Culture momentum, still brings designers, craftspeople and manufacturers together. Then there is a genuinely unusual factor: SHAPE, at Casteau, keeps a permanent international, English-speaking population in the area. You see it in the shops, the schools and consumer services. A local company selling both into the Ghlin-Baudour industrial park and to expatriate families has different language needs from one in Charleroi or Namur. That is why Mons websites so often need two languages.
How we build Mons websites and apps
Our offices are in Brussels (Molenbeek-Saint-Jean) and Lille; we have no local address, and we would rather say so than pretend. The drive takes under an hour on the E19/E42, and the train is just as practical. That is plenty to scope a project on site, come back to present the designs and train your team before go-live.
A good share of local projects have an English-language dimension. We are happy to deliver Mons websites in French and English, or in three languages including Dutch. Each comes with correct hreflang tags and an admin area that lets you manage every version without calling us. For tech companies around Initialis and the campus, we often work alongside an in-house team on a mobile app, an API or a back office.
We would rather ship a first version early and enrich it than chase a perfect project that never launches. Every stage goes through a staging environment you can open at any time. On budget, a showcase site starts at €29/month and an advanced site at €59/month, on a 24-month commitment. The free 24-hour quote prices everything else.
