Websites in Germany
You’re the owner of a company, you’ve just opened it and printed business cards – now you’re wondering how to reach your potential clients in Germany…
Good question! The simplest and cheapest way is to have your own website where you can post your company’s data, contact information, offer, etc. Building a website for the German market is the cheapest solution to attract new orders. Unfortunately, if you choose a cheap company from Germany, it won’t be a “Mercedes” (a high-quality website) – it will probably be a template-based website or one built in HTML.
A much better idea would be to commission a Polish company to build your website, which will cost less and offer higher quality. Such a website will stand out on the German market, attracting potential clients’ attention.
It’s extremely important to properly highlight your offer and contact information on your website so that clients can quickly find them. I myself sometimes search for contact information on various websites, but I hate doing it on operator websites or bank websites – there’s too much chaos, and if you manage to find a contact form, the person on the other end is often an automated bot.
Our websites are characterized by the fact that clients can quickly contact you in several ways, including:
– contact form
– quick phone call (after clicking) or WhatsApp/Messenger chat
– active email address that also responds to clicks
Thanks to these forms of contact, clients have a fast and direct connection with your company, which is extremely important. Even if a bank can afford chaos on its website because there are few banks, you cannot afford it in the German market where there is immense competition among small companies. If your potential client can’t quickly find your contact information, they will simply close your website and go to your competitor.
We have been building websites since the end of the 90s, we know how to reach potential clients (including this one), we know how to engage them and encourage them to contact you. We’ll share all that knowledge with you when we build your website for the German market.
We build websites in German, tailored to German law. All graphical materials used on our websites are licensed, so you can sleep soundly. Unfortunately, many web developers offer lowball prices, dishonestly building websites for clients and using “free” images from the internet that may be very dangerous for you in Germany – using just one non-licensed image on a company website could cost you tens of thousands of euros in fines.
Don’t mention other elements that can increase costs, such as not adapting your website to German law. For example, websites in Germany must display an information banner about cookies, but simply displaying the banner is not enough – clients should also be able to agree or disagree with cookie use and see which cookies are used by the site.
Unfortunately, many Polish companies forget this when building websites for the German market (this applies to Polish companies) and clients often find out about it only after contacting them. In Germany, this is a common practice – competitors reporting on each other’s mistakes.
Our websites built for the German market include all necessary mechanisms, including collecting information about cookies, displaying them to visitors, displaying consent forms for cookie use, privacy policy, SSL certificate encrypting communication between client and server – especially important when sending personal data via contact form. The price is not a problem; remember that if someone offers suspiciously low prices for building websites, they may not have the necessary competence to offer their services on the German market.
It’s time, and time costs money; unfortunately, incorporating all these elements takes time and money – no one does it for free. But potential savings of hundreds of zlotys can be repaid with massive fines from the German authorities. Is it worth saving that much? Building a website is a one-time payment…
