Hallebardier › Switzerland › Geneva

A website in Geneva, in English and French, on a free quote.

In Geneva, many customers search in English and compare with what they saw in London or Paris. I build sites that survive that comparison, on a free quote, entirely remotely.

Question 1 of 5
Your website today is…
When someone searches for your trade and your town on Google or in ChatGPT, you appear…
How many enquiries a month reach you through the website?
What does a new client bring you, on average?
How many hours a week do you spend doing by hand what a website would do: answering the same questions, sending information, booking appointments?

Five questions, two minutes. Nothing reaches me until you send the form at the end.

Geneva, where a website has to speak two languages


International organisations, private banks, commodity trading, watchmaking, but also thousands of practices, law firms, property managers, clinics and tradespeople who live off that clientele. The common point: the Geneva customer often arrives from abroad, reads in English, and judges a company by its website in three seconds. A homepage that does not say what you do, for whom, and in which language, loses that customer before they call.

Agencies here are also among the most expensive in French-speaking Switzerland. The price often comes after several meetings; mine comes after one call. The Visible package includes French and English, twenty pages and integration with your tools. That is what many Geneva businesses need.

Small-business websites in the canton of Geneva, measured


In September 2026, the Hallebardier study drew 2,967 companies in the canton of Geneva at random from the commercial register, then audited the 609 reachable websites it could tie to them with certainty. The canton’s figures, with Switzerland’s alongside.

21%

of companies in the canton have a website under their own name that a machine can tie to them with proof. Switzerland: 24%.

44%

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%.

56%

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%.

11%

of websites show a year of 2024 or earlier in their footer. Switzerland: 11%.

The clearest gap with the Swiss average is in the privacy page: 44% of websites in the canton, against 55% across Switzerland.

609 reachable websites audited in the canton: the margin of error is about 4 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.

Questions


Do you build sites entirely in English?

Yes. One language of your choice in the Minimum package, two in Visible, three in Conquête. French, English and German are written by me; you review before going live.

Do you work with Geneva clients without travelling?

Yes. The project runs over calls and a shared document, from the first exchange to go-live.

Is the price the same as in Fribourg?

Yes, exactly. The price depends on the project, not on the city.
