Website creation for Switzerland
· by the Agence Web Premium team, Guéliz Marrakech
Direct answer: the Swiss market is one of the most expensive in Europe for the creation of websites: 5,000 to 15,000 CHF for an agency showcase website. A French-speaking agency in Morocco delivers an equivalent result from €250, in 7 days, with FR/DE/EN multilingualism management.
Swiss specificity: multilingualism is not optional. A site that aims beyond the Lake Geneva basin must often exist in French, German and English.
Why are websites so expensive in Switzerland?
In short: The level of salaries and charges. The technical work is the same, the hourly cost is not.
A Geneva or Lausanne agency incurs some of the highest structural costs in Europe. A ten-page showcase website is commonly charged between 5,000 and 15,000 CHF.
The same site requires the same number of working hours in Marrakech. The difference in bill is entirely due to the hourly cost, not to the quality of the result.
Do you manage multilingual FR / DE / EN sites?
In short: Yes. We have always been building trilingual sites, with hreflang markup verified page by page.
Our own site exists in French, English and Arabic — including a right-to-left version, technically more demanding than a German version.
The critical point remains the hreflang. Misconfigured, Google ignores translated versions. We systematically check it before putting it online.
Where is the data hosted?
In short: On a European infrastructure by default. Accommodation in Switzerland is possible on request for regulated sectors.
For most activities, European hosting with a content delivery network offers excellent performance from Geneva, Lausanne or Zurich.
For sectors subject to specific data localization requirements — health, finance, legal — we deploy with a Swiss host, with an additional cost that we quantify in advance.
How does payment work?
In short: By international transfer or Wise, in euros or Swiss francs. Payment in two installments, with model validated before the first payment.
Wise is generally the most economical solution from Switzerland: reduced fees and real exchange rate.
We issue a detailed invoice for the provision of services, usable in Swiss accounting.
What responsiveness from Morocco?
In short: Response in less than an hour during the day, Monday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Swiss time. Maximum one hour difference.
Proximity in time is a real advantage compared to Asian service providers. A message sent in the morning receives a response in the morning.
We offer a weekly meeting by videoconference for projects that justify it.
