Bern is twenty minutes from Fribourg and on the other side of the language border. I build websites for Bern businesses in German first, with French or English when the customers ask for it, on a free quote.

Five questions, two minutes. Nothing reaches me until you send the form at the end.
Federal administration, insurance, healthcare, a dense fabric of engineering offices, lawyers, accountants, tradespeople and shops from the old town to Bümpliz. Part of their customers come from French-speaking Switzerland, starting with Fribourg and Biel. A Bern site that exists only in German makes those customers invisible, and the reverse is true for a French-speaking company targeting Bern.
Thun, the Oberland and the Emmental add tourism, construction and crafts. For those businesses, a fast site, an accurate Google profile and pages naming Thun, Interlaken, Burgdorf or Langenthal are worth more than a ten-megabyte showcase.
In September 2026, the Hallebardier study drew 3,644 companies in the canton of Bern at random from the commercial register, then audited the 900 reachable websites it could tie to them with certainty. The canton’s figures, with Switzerland’s alongside.
of companies in the canton have a website under their own name that a machine can tie to them with proof. Switzerland: 24%.
of websites give no structured data: neither the trade nor the address, in a form a search engine or an AI reads without guessing. Switzerland: 54%.
of websites have no privacy page the crawler could find, although the law requires visitors to be informed as soon as a site collects personal data. Switzerland: 45%.
of websites show a year of 2024 or earlier in their footer. Switzerland: 11%.
Share of reachable websites that have each element on their home page.
The clearest gap with the Swiss average is in structured data: 40% of websites in the canton, against 46% across Switzerland.
900 reachable websites audited in the canton: the margin of error is about 3 points, and a smaller gap with the Swiss average is not significant. Method, definitions and full data: the “10,000 Swiss small-business websites” study.
I write both. The Visible package includes two languages; English can be the third.
Bern, Thun, Köniz, Burgdorf, Langenthal, the Oberland: local searches are precise, the site has to be too.
Address, phone number, real people, complete legal pages. Bern customers read before they call.
Tested mobile version, loading in under two seconds, short form.
An estimate in hours before starting, on a quote. No redesign, no commitment.
Yes. I write in German as in French. The project runs remotely, in German from the first call to go-live.
