Multilingual website designs

Having multilingual website designs it is not going to be enough on its own to break into international market. The sites themselves have to be promoted and optimised in a way that creates traffic. Traffic is the only thing that counts on a website, because revenues are in direct correlation to traffic flow.

The way that we approach the subject of multilingual website designs is as follows:

We believe that multilingual website designs must grow like trees. Their various language branches start small, and with success, they are added to and strengthened. More content should be added as time goes by.

The initial language combinations you decide upon should be the ones that gives your business the best chance to develop based on the internet penetration and market potential in the specific language zones. You will need to bear in mind the type of business you are in, and the average disposable income of the populous in each language zone. Your budget should then be alocated accordingly.

Note: It is important at this stage to bear in mind that we work in language 'zones', which is the online population of the countries where each language is spoken as a first language, and not the individual countries of France, Germany, etc.

Multilingual Website designs - The future...

As your technical partner, we would build localized website designs to specifically target each language zone. Promotion would be carried out in full consultation with you and then in time, the results would have to be analyzed, in terms of visitors and sales:

It is a simple calculation to determine how much it has cost to attract visitors from each language zone to the site in question, segmented by the web promotion techniques used, such as SE Optimization, Banner Ads, PR, etc.

It becomes quite useful to be able to track how many visitors come from each language, and by each design strategy. Then you can determine how much each visitor is worth in sales. One can maximize profits easiest by concentrating on what works best.

Once you can come to this point and be sure of your figures, then it makes perfect sense to invest significant amounts of your marketing budget into what works, as one can then be confident of sales afterwards. For example, this will probably result in you shifting more of your budget into one technique for your Spanish website designs and another technique for German, etc.

In conclusion, your website has the potential to start attracting large amounts of traffic from abroad. You need to institute various website designs for each language zone of your target markets. Continue to watch your log files carefully and calculate your cost per visitor acquisition against sales completed. Once this figure has been settled, allocate more funds to bring in more visitors, and you will probably see the Return on Investment (ROI) figure rise accordingly.

As you spend more time on promoting your multilingual website designs, the snowball effect will come into play, and you can expect increasing results per pound spent.
