A fast website or webshop for your business in Germany: in German, English and Arabic, with Impressum and Datenschutz pages, payment methods Germans trust and shipping through DHL or Deutsche Post.
Smart Design is a web agency from Haarlem in the Netherlands that also builds for businesses in Germany. You get one point of contact, we meet online, and you get a site that fits the way German customers buy online, technically, legally and commercially.
Among others, we built the German perfume webshop jd-parfums.de
German customers are careful buyers: they check the Impressum, pay attention to privacy and prefer to pay in a way they know. We take that into account from the first sketch.
A full German version for your customers, English for international visitors and Arabic, fully right-to-left, for the Arabic-speaking community in Germany.
Dedicated pages for your company details and privacy policy, a cookie banner that gives visitors a real choice and forms that only ask for what is needed.
PayPal, Klarna (which now includes Sofort), credit cards and SEPA transfer, connected through Mollie or Stripe and neatly matched to your bookkeeping.
We register or transfer your .de domain name, in your name, with an SSL certificate and business email addresses that match your company.
Shipping costs per country and weight, shipping labels from your admin panel and a tracking link that goes to your customer automatically.
German keywords, hreflang per language, fast load times and structured data, so you are found where your customers search.
Many Arabic-speaking entrepreneurs in Germany run a restaurant, barbershop, supermarket, car business or webshop, and sell to both German and Arabic customers. They want a website that looks professional in German, but would rather discuss the project in their own language.
At Smart Design you can. We discuss your plans in Arabic, help write the German copy and make sure the Arabic version of your site is just as polished as the German one, with the right fonts and a right-to-left layout.
What that means for you:
That way one website reaches both your German and your Arabic customers.
One site, three languages
A business website in Germany needs an Impressum with your company details and a Datenschutzerklärung that explains what you do with personal data. German visitors expect these pages and check them before they buy.
We build the structure: permanent, easy-to-find pages in every language, a cookie banner that only loads scripts after consent and forms with a clear privacy notice. Have the legal wording itself checked by a German lawyer or a reliable generator; we are web developers and do not give legal advice.

iDEAL is unknown in Germany. German buyers like to pay with PayPal, later or in instalments through Klarna, by credit card or via SEPA transfer. If their preferred method is missing, many abandon the checkout.
We connect your webshop to Mollie or Stripe, so you offer all common methods at once and see your payouts in one place. Orders, returns and refunds are managed in your own admin panel.
A .de address immediately tells German customers that you serve their market. We handle registration or transfer, DNS, SSL and email, and host your site fast within Europe.
German customers know DHL and Deutsche Post and expect a tracking link. Your webshop calculates shipping per zone and weight and sends status updates automatically.
jd-parfums.de is a perfume webshop from Neunkirchen in Saarland that we built. The shop runs on a .de domain, targets German customers and is managed entirely from its own admin panel.
We bring the experience from that project to every new assignment in Germany: from product variants and shipping settings to the legal pages a German webshop needs.
You do not need to travel to Haarlem. We work with video calls, a shared schedule and a test environment you can view at any time.
We discuss your business, your customers in Germany and what the site needs to do. You then receive a clear quote and schedule.
You approve the design, we build the site in three languages, set up payments and shipping and prepare the legal pages.
After testing the site goes live, we submit it to Google and walk through the admin panel together. A three-month warranty applies afterwards.

That depends on the number of languages, pages and features. After a short call you receive a quote with a fixed price and no hidden costs.
