FAQ
Why hire a European web design agency?
European studios are known for craft, motion, and typography, and many rank among the world's most-awarded. They also bring experience with multilingual sites, accessibility rules, and privacy requirements like GDPR, which matters if you sell into Europe.
Are European agencies more affordable than US agencies?
It depends on the city. Studios in Paris, Amsterdam, and London often charge rates similar to major US cities. Studios in regional UK cities and Eastern Europe are usually more affordable while still producing award-winning work.
Can a European agency work with a US company?
Yes, and many do. Western European studios share several working hours with the US East Coast, usually in the European afternoon. Some, like Your Majesty and AREA 17, also have offices in New York.
Do European agencies handle GDPR and accessibility?
The experienced ones do. Ask how they handle cookie consent, analytics, and data storage, and which accessibility standard they design to, especially if your site serves EU users.
How long does a project with a European agency take?
Similar to anywhere else: six to ten weeks for a focused launch site, and three to six months for larger redesigns. Summer holidays in July and August can slow decisions, so plan around them.
