Switzerland: web design and software solutions for businesses — Kordevo

Website development in Geneva for local and international clients

Geneva is the largest city in French-speaking Switzerland and one of the world's leading international hubs, home to the United Nations Office at Geneva, the World Health Organization and the International Committee of the Red Cross. Local customers search in French, while a large part of the population works and lives in English.

Kordevo builds French-first websites with English versions for restaurants, renovation and cleaning companies, salons, translation agencies and consultancies in Geneva, together with booking, ordering and quotation systems and local SEO. Each language is written to read naturally rather than as a literal translation.

Agency rates in Geneva are high and hourly billing makes budgets unpredictable. With us the first consultation is free, the scope is written down and clearly defined projects receive a written quote within 24 hours. KORDEVO SOFT Sp. z o.o. is registered in Lodz, Poland; we have no office in Geneva and work remotely in the same time zone.

The Geneva market: French search and an international audience

A successful website in Geneva has to convince French-speaking locals and English-speaking internationals at the same time. Language, district and sector choices follow from that.

French comes first

Local searches in Geneva are made in French, with terms such as restaurant, rénovation, nettoyage or devis for a quote. A German-language site brings no business here, so French is the primary language, written in a natural local style and indexed under its own URL structure.

International organisations and expats

With the UN, WHO, the Red Cross and many other international organisations, Geneva has a large English-speaking workforce. Restaurants, salons, cleaning services and translators that serve this community practically need an English version and an English Google profile.

Districts and sectors

Les Pâquis, Plainpalais, Eaux-Vives and Carouge are dense with restaurants, cafés and small retailers. Showing up on Google Maps in these districts, with accurate opening hours and reviews, translates directly into foot traffic and bookings.

A cross-border region

Greater Geneva extends into neighbouring French communes, and many people cross the border every day for work. If your service area includes the French side, your website and Google profile are set up to reflect this two-country catchment clearly.

Practical notes for a website in Geneva

  • Language and formatting

    Your Geneva website is written in French following Swiss usage, with dates, prices in CHF and addresses formatted to local standards. English is the natural second language for the international community.

  • nDSG and legal notice

    Websites of Geneva businesses fall under the Swiss Data Protection Act (nDSG), and online sellers must publish identity and contact details under the Unfair Competition Act (UWG). A French privacy notice and legal notice page are included.

  • Invoicing and payment

    We work under an international service contract and issue invoices compliant with EU rules. Invoices are issued in EUR or PLN; please confirm the Swiss VAT treatment of imported services (Bezugsteuer) with your accountant.

  • Meetings and handover

    We share Geneva's time zone and work through video calls, a written scope and weekly reports. On delivery you receive the source code, admin panel and every account, with maintenance and updates available afterwards.

Frequently asked questions

What determines the cost of a website in Geneva?

The cost of a website in Geneva depends on the number of pages, language versions such as French and English, and features like booking or ordering, and Kordevo provides a written quote for the agreed scope. After a free consultation we write the scope down and send a single quote within 24 hours for clearly defined projects. any new request is quoted separately.

Do you build French-language websites for Geneva businesses?

Yes, we build websites for Geneva businesses with French as the primary language, because most local searches there are made in French. English can be added for the international community and further languages on request. Each version gets its own URL and hreflang tags, and who provides the texts is agreed in the quote.

How can a Geneva business reach staff of international organisations?

A Geneva business reaches staff of international organisations best with an English version of its website and an English-language Google Business Profile. This audience typically chooses services on the map and by reading reviews. Clear pricing information, online booking and an obvious English contact option on the site build trust and increase enquiries.

How do you make a Geneva business visible on Google Maps?

We complete your Google Business Profile with French and English descriptions, the right categories, opening hours and photos, and build district and service pages on your website. Your address details are made consistent across directories and a review request process is set up. We do not guarantee rankings, but we report the work and its results regularly.

Does a website in Geneva need a legal notice and nDSG compliance?

Yes, websites of Geneva businesses are subject to the Swiss Data Protection Act (nDSG), and anyone selling online must publish identity and contact details under the Unfair Competition Act (UWG). We include a French privacy notice, cookie consent and legal notice page as standard. A final review of the legal texts by a Swiss lawyer is recommended.

How long does a website project for a Geneva company take?

The timeline depends on the scope and is written into the contract as a fixed delivery date. A bilingual French and English corporate site takes less time than a project with booking or ordering features, so we set the date based on the written scope. You receive a weekly progress report throughout, so you always know where the project stands.

Which languages can a Geneva company use when working with Kordevo?

Project communication with Geneva companies runs in English or German, from the first call to the weekly reports, while the website itself is published in French and English for your customers. French copy can be supplied by your team or planned as part of the scope. The written scope, the written quote and the handover of code and accounts stay the same.
