Edicy – Websites With International Flare

ss-edicy
Living in a global economy, businesses can’t afford to disregard any potential customers when designing their websites, mobile apps, and other online properties. Edicy is a tool that helps companies and individuals create multilingual websites, perfect for attracting a jet setting clientele from around the globe.

With Edicy, you can create a website in mere minutes, regardless of the language it’s written in. Type your company’s name and slogan into Edicy’s webite builder tool, along with a photo or logo and a few paragraphs of text that describe what it is you do. Any changes you need to make to your photos or fonts can be made directly on the page. For a more cohesive look, use one of Edicy’s pre-designed themes. Edicy encourages you to add languages to your website in the same way you’d add content. Click the “+Add” button, and select the languages you’d like your site to be translated into. Finally, you can purchase a domain name for your website through Edicy. The platform offers you one domain for free when you upgrade to a Pro account for at least one year.

To find out how your website is performing overseas, visit the Edicy statistics dashboard. There, you’ll find detailed metrics that summarize your page views based on geography, pinpointing the countries where you’re generating the most traffic. This information can be useful when deciding what additional languages to add to your site, or when determining what markets you’d like to get into next.

Practical Uses:

  • Create a website that attracts customers in Belgium and France
  • Get insight into how many people in Spain are visiting your website each day

Insider Tips:

  • Visitors can toggle between English subpages and their translated versions
  • Publishers can create forms and surveys with Edicy’s tools
  • Websites can be hidden behind passwords

What we liked:

  • Edicy’s website builder is extremely easy to use, even for a novice
  • People can create translated websites without re-typing text or hiring a translator
  • Edicy doesn’t require people to use an outside registrar or host when buying their own domains
