Do you think our website looks a bit old-fashioned or retro? For instance with the background image (which, by the way, was created at the very outset at the end of 1997 and is therefore part of our identity) and the short teaser texts with the still expressive graphics? Or because of the layout with the blocks and the widgets on the right-hand side?
It’s all intentional.
Take a look at the websites that the vast majority of translation companies today use to present their services.
A plethora of technical details about how your translations are created, with stock images of random strangers, all smiling and seemingly in their dream jobs, with lengthy (in practice somewhat exaggerated) explanations of the processes your translations go through before they actually land in your inbox.
And these websites often look pretty much the same, and often with a sensory overload of information.
On our website, you will find everything you are looking for and should know in a condensed form and to the point.
When we started out, due to the snail-pace internet connections that usually prevailed, it was imperative to make sure that websites were loaded reasonably quickly on the viewer’s screen, and a great deal of effort was required to cut download speeds as much as possible. The key lay in the brevity.
Nowadays, of course, transfer rates are no longer an issue. But that doesn’t necessarily justify cramming as much information as possible onto a web page.
And we think that our form of presentation will be appreciated.
