Multilingual websites
in Geneva.

Service companies, foundations, SMEs, professional firms: in Geneva, your website has to earn the trust of a demanding, international audience. We build bespoke, multilingual and fast websites, with data protection in mind from the start.

An international clientele.

Geneva is home to international organisations, banks, foundations, professional firms and corporate headquarters. Some of your clients do not speak French: a Geneva website is often bilingual French–English, sometimes trilingual.

Expectations are high: an understated, precise site that inspires confidence from the very first page. For a firm or a foundation, credibility comes from clear information and quality writing as much as from design.

Data protection is taken seriously in Switzerland, especially since the revised Federal Act on Data Protection (nFADP) came into force: forms, analytics and third-party tools must be chosen with care and explained to visitors.

What to know about a Geneva website.

Languages, data, restraint: what the Geneva market particularly expects.

Multilingual done properly

In Geneva, a website is often bilingual French–English, sometimes trilingual. Each language needs its own URLs, hreflang tags and adapted copy, not a machine translation bolted on top. Keywords differ too: an expat searches for “accountant Geneva”, a Genevan for “fiduciaire Genève”. We build the language structure from the start, so each version is found in its own language.

nFADP: choose your tools with care

The revised Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection has applied since September 2023. For a website, it affects forms, analytics, fonts and videos loaded from third-party servers, and chat tools. The less you collect, the simpler it gets. We favour privacy-friendly analytics, minimal forms and third-party services limited to what is needed; your adviser signs off the privacy notice.

Restraint as a sign of seriousness

For a firm, a foundation or a private bank, credibility comes through restraint: careful typography, precise copy, no gratuitous effects. Design serves reading. That is also what makes a site fast and accessible, two qualities visitors notice without necessarily naming them.

Geneva agency or Greater Geneva studio?

Geneva agencies know their market well; a studio based across the border offers a different set-up. What matters is a contact who understands your Swiss constraints, travels for the key stages and delivers on the dates promised. Brutux Studio is a French company based in Thonon, less than an hour from Geneva, working for Geneva clients.

Being cited by AI assistants

A prospective Geneva client increasingly asks ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google’s AI overviews before visiting a website. These tools pick up pages that answer directly, with a clearly named entity and verifiable facts: who you are, what you do, for whom, where. We write each expertise page with the answer first, questions phrased the way your clients ask them, and structured data, in every language. No citation is guaranteed; clear, consistent information everywhere remains the best chance of being quoted correctly.

Where we work.

Based in Thonon-les-Bains, less than an hour from Geneva, Brutux Studio is a Franco-Swiss studio: we meet in Geneva for the key stages and work remotely the rest of the time.

Frequently asked questions.

Web agency Geneva: answers to the questions we are asked.

Are you a Swiss agency?

Brutux Studio is a French company based in Thonon-les-Bains, within Greater Geneva. We work for clients in Geneva and across French-speaking Switzerland, in person or remotely.

How long does it take to build a website in Geneva?

A multilingual company or firm website takes 3–6 weeks, depending on the volume of content and languages; a simple showcase site, 10–15 days.

Can the site be in French, English and German?

Yes. Each language has its own pages and URLs so it can rank properly. Translations can be supplied by you or by the translator of your choice.

Do you take Swiss data protection law into account?

Yes: we limit the tools that collect data, favour privacy-friendly analytics and prepare the information to present to visitors. Legal sign-off remains with your own adviser.

Do you build WordPress websites in Geneva?

We build in code, with Next.js, rather than on WordPress themes: pages load faster and the site does not depend on plugins that need updating. If your team is set on WordPress, we will tell you frankly whether we are the right provider.

Can the site be accessible to people with disabilities?

Yes: contrast, text size, keyboard navigation and clear labels are considered from the wireframe stage. For a foundation or an international organisation, this is often a strong expectation.

Do you offer UX and software design in Geneva?

Yes: UX audits, interface design and design systems for SaaS products and business applications. See our UX agency page for Geneva.

How does a remote project work?

A first 30-minute call, then a detailed proposal. Key workshops take place at your offices in Geneva, interim reviews by video call, with a staging site so you can follow progress.

Can you travel to Geneva?

Yes: Thonon is connected to Geneva by the Léman Express and by road. Key meetings take place at your offices.

Do you also build SaaS products and business software for Geneva companies?

Yes: B2B SaaS creation and redesign, custom business software, with rapid prototyping and development. The website and the product can be designed by the same team, which keeps the message consistent. See our SaaS agency page for Geneva.

Can our site appear in ChatGPT answers or Google’s AI overviews?

Nobody can guarantee it. We put in place what helps: direct answers at the top of each page, a clearly named entity, structured data, an llms.txt file, pages per language and consistency with your online profiles. Our AI visibility page explains the approach.
