How do I build a website for a translation office?
A certified-translation office earns credibility through a site that clearly shows the languages covered, the type of translations and the translator's authorisation. It comes together quickly, starting from a presentation theme.
Short answer
- Pick a presentation theme from 4SoftEdu's "Themes" gallery.
- Describe the languages and translation types: certified, notarised, technical.
- Display the translator's authorisation on the About page.
- Turn on online booking for document drop-off and collection.
- Publish the site and optimise it for searches like "certified translations [city]".
What goes on the site
- Services: the languages covered and the translation types, in clear categories.
- About: the translator's authorisation and the office's experience.
- Booking: a slot for document drop-off and one for collecting the translation.
- Reviews: feedback from existing clients.
Practical example
Example: a certified-translation office took requests through messages on a social page. After launching a 4SoftEdu site with services split by language and translation type, plus an automatic notification when a job is done, clients started arriving from Google searches, not only from referrals.
Common mistakes
- Not displaying your translator's authorisation, even though you have it.
- Mixing every language and translation type on one unstructured page.
- Not offering a way to book document drop-off.
